Olight's R50 model smashed all expectations by tossing out the industry-standard 18650 battery in favor of a massive 26650. It turned into a smash hit. Now Olight has upgraded their R50 with this Pro edition, which adds 700 more lumens of brightness, shaves 5 mm off its length, and incorporates their luxurious magnetic charging dock system. The resulting spec sheet reads like a flashoholic's daydream: 3,200 lumens, 250 meters of throw, up to 50 hours of runtime, and no micro-USB ports to get wet or clogged with dirt. But to truly understand this animal, we need to go deeper.
Olight spoils us again and again by housing incredible components in indestructible bodies. The Olight R50 Pro is one of the rare lights that uses a CREE XHP70 LED, a multi-part monster that features four light emitting cores. Four brightness levels and a strobe make it adaptable and useful for self-defense. A battery-saving lockout prevents accidental activation, and automatic temperature adjustment changes your performance to match your environment. A charge indicator LED is built into the power button, flashing red when your battery runs low.
The R50 Pro is waterproof (IPX-8, 2 meters submersible) and drop-proof (1 meter). Waterproof testing is conducted after drop-testing to simulate real-world usage. The frame is aerospace grade aluminum, known for its balance between light weight and durability. And a thick coat of anodizing adds a military-spec level of protection to the exterior.

"Outstanding performance superior packaging quick shipping great company and product"
"Solidly built but that is all. Mine wound up dead after a few months and I sent it back to Battery Junction. They were kind enough to have it repaired but here I am less than a year later with another dead flashlight. For the $139. 00 price (Mine was more because it was a complete kit) it should last a bit longer I would think. From all the other reviews here I am guessing it is the charging dock, as the battery is dead and unchargeable. I am going to try a replacement battery again because this light was supposed to be a forever light for me and the cost prohibits me from just tossing it. One reviewer here had the best idea, which is to trash the charging dock and charge the battery in a separate charger. The most irritating thing is this problem has to be known by the manufacturer, so why hasn't this thing been pulled from the market?"
"I’ve had this light R50 Seeker Pro model for a little over a year. It is built out of high quality materials, very bright with a great throw. I like the docking station and how it will turn on automatically in the event of a power outage. That being said, I removed it from the dock recently and found it to have a dead battery as verified by volt meter. The battery will no longer accept a charge. After speaking to customer service, their solution is for me to buy a new battery. Im on the fence about whether I want to dump and more money into this or get something else. I also have two Klarus G20s and like them better as at least they are still working."
"I have 2 of these lights. Got the first one and had to have another to keep in my truck. This light is all that the manufacture claims. Good size, power and run time. Unfortunately The charging dock seems to be faulty. Not sure of the technical reasons for this but I've lost 2 batteries when using the 'R-Dock'. Of course the batteries failed after the 30 warranty. I believe it was about 6 weeks for one and 2 months for the other. After I replaced them I've only used the magnetic charging cable. I've had them for a little over a year now and haven't lost anymore batteries when using the cable to charge. I'm only giving this product a 3 star rating because of the problem with the charging dock and having to eat the cost of replacing the batteries that were damaged. Unfortunate as I've had good experiences with my other Olight products. I do recommend this light, but stay away for the charging dock. It may take longer to charge but you won't be surprised to find you have a dead battery when you take it from the dock."
"like it a lot. Got it over a year ago and although i do not use it a lot it has really come in handy at home when i have needed to light up a bright area especially in the garage."
"I wanted to use it for a little while before I gave my input. So far I am very impressed with its brightness, its throw and the way it looks and feels in your hand. The magnetic tip is another plus. I had ordered the LE Edition and the emergency light function is nice touch especially if the power in your house goes down and its charging. A dim light emits from the flashlight and it allows you to find it in the dark."
"I like this light when it works. Unfortunately most times I pick it up from the charger it will only come on for a few seconds and then the switch bezel lights up red as if the battery were dead. Sometimes if I thread the tail cap off and back on it will work fine, other times it really is dead. It has done this since new and I returned it once only to have the Battery Junction tech say he could not duplicate the problem. I figured out it was a tail cap issue so I trhead it off and on a few times before placing it in the charger hoping it will have a good enough connection to charge. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It is so fickle I don't even bother with it anymore and feel I just wasted my money. Fair or not it has soured me on the Olight brand."
"Avoid the LE kit. I bought the R50 Seeker Pro LE specifically for its 'luxurious magnetic charging docking system. ' Be forewarned, if you leave the R50 in the charging dock for long periods of time, it will fry Olight's proprietary 26650 battery. Olight replaced the first dead battery claiming it came from a bad batch. Unfortunately, the replacement they sent also died. No law enforcement officer in his right mind would trust this light and charging system in the field. If you still want an R50, opt for the Standard Kit."
"I like this light a lot. It has multiple modes that are spaced well. I like Olight's switching. It makes it easily to access low, turbo quickly. Runtimes seem to be pretty good. Light does get warm on higher modes, but expected. Light is also heavier than expected, as others have said. However, it is balanced in your hand. It is a bit of an awkward size. A little to big for your pocket but smaller than you might want to holster. I do wish they had an optional pocket clip or a better holster option. The dock is actually the weakest point for me. I like the ease of use for charging with the dock. It allows for charging in the house or the car. However, when putting the light in to the dock it tends to not go right in because the magnet wants to grab towards the top of the dock and not seat the light into the base. Also, all of the mounts come pre attached with velcro. I would rather they be loose and I attach them if needed. Lastly, and my biggest gripe with the light is the auto turn on in power loss situations. This feature does work. The power to the dock is lost and the light turns on. However, even if it daytime and sunny, the light will turn on. There is no sensor to say, it is sunny, don't turn on right now. This means if you lose power in the morning and are gone all day, the light will still turn on (wasting precious battery power) when it is not needed. This is disappointing because even $5 backup flashlight / nighlights have the ability to recognize it is light and don't turn on"
