Olight recently launched the new Javelot Pro 2 LED flashlight, which delivers up to 2,500 lumens and features 2x 5,000 mAh 21700 Li-ion batteries.
They sent one over for review, and I’ve been testing it alongside a Javelot Turbo that I purchased two years ago.
The Olight Javelot Pro 2 is an upgrade compared to the Javelot Pro, and also delivers higher performance than flashlights powered by single 18650 or 21700 batteries. It also delivers longer runtime, depending on the settings.
Compared to the Javelot Pro, the Pro 2 is brighter, delivering up to 2,500 lumens vs. 2,100. It has 2x 5,000 mAh 21700 batteries, compared to 2x 3,500 mAh 18650 batteries for the original Pro.
My Javelot Turbo also has 2x 5,000 mAh 21700 batteries. Comparing the two side by side, there are differences in handle texture, but not size. My Turbo delivers up to 1,300 max lumens.
The Javelot Pro 2 has two visual indicator arrays surrounding the power switch – one has 4 LED indicators to depict brightness, and the other has 4 LED indicators to show remaining battery charge capacity.
In addition to the side button switch, there’s a tailcap switch for momentary low power and latched high power operation. Remote switches are also available.
The Javelot Pro 2, or my older Turbo, both specialize in long distance spotlight illumination. These are not the flashlights for close-up use.
It recharges via magnetic tailcap cable that connects to standard USB-A ports.
The rechargeable batteries are built into the handle, and additional handle-battery units will be available separately.
Sale Price: $157
