Olight has revealed the Javelot Turbo 2 during IWA 2025 in Germany. This large flashlight was showcased to attendees at a press conference. It features a unique battery design that includes two connected 21700 batteries, which can be recharged using a magnetic MCC cable or through USB Type-C.
Charging Details
According to Olight, the flashlight charges quicker with the USB option. The port is positioned near the head and is protected by a metal cover. If the cover is accidentally left off, there’s no need to worry, as the Javelot Turbo 2 still complies with IP67 ratings, even when the port is exposed. However, it’s worth noting that the MCC charging cable doesn’t come included in the package.
Battery Specifications
The battery has a total capacity of 36Wh and operates at 7.2 volts, based on the official specifications. While the battery has a printed capacity of 5,000mAh, Olight promotes the flashlight as having a total of 10,000mAh, since it uses two 3.6-volt cells.
With just 15 lumens, the battery allows for a runtime of 272 hours and a throw distance of nearly 150 yards. The flashlight’s highest setting can be used for four minutes and reaches an impressive range of 1,640 yards. After that, the brightness drops to 800 lumens for another 130 minutes, then down to 600 lumens for 120 minutes. Overall, users can expect at least 254 minutes of use on a full charge, with the maximum constant output listed at 150 lumens, providing a runtime of up to 30 hours.
Remote Control Features
A new feature is the remote control, which allows users to manage the flashlight using a 2.4GHz connection. This remote can be magnetically attached to the flashlight. Although the magnet is strong, users might prefer to keep the remote stored separately, which could lead to the chance of misplacing it. Additionally, the new Olight flashlight is offered as a kit that includes filters and a suitable carrying case.
As is customary, Olight is offering a launch discount for the Javelot Turbo 2. The starting price for the flashlight is $169, but various bundles and kits with added accessories are available for an extra cost.
