OLight’s New Odin-S: Upgrade or Gimmick?

In this video, Sean from Maverick Tactical puts OLight’s new Odin-S rifle light head-to-head against one of the most trusted weapon lights on the market — the Streamlight ProTac HL-X. Weapon-mounted lights are a critical piece of gear for civilian, law enforcement, and military rifle setups, and today we’re testing real-world performance — not just manufacturer claims. We’ll look at brightness, beam pattern, spill vs throw, mounting options, ergonomics, and overall value to see how this new release from OLight stacks up against a proven classic from Streamlight. Whether you’re building a duty rifle, home-defense setup, or a civilian preparedness carbine, this comparison will help you decide which rifle light actually earns a place on your gun.
