You will likely be getting the impression that the Olight is putting out more light because it is putting out a whiter light than the Maxtoch. The whiter light does tend to look a lot brighter because it reflects off everything in the atmosphere and the light tends to come back at you. The Maxtoch is de-domed at the factory which gives it a yellower hue which produces a less glarey beam, spooks animals less and seems to cut the atmosphere better. When you get a chance to test them side-by-side at a greater distance you will see it, particularly with animals.

I did wonder about the white/yellow scenario - as I said the wife saw a "brighter" light with the Olight.
The price of the Maxtoch wins the debate - no question in my view.
I will try them both again together on more open terrain too.
So why are the Olight holding a higher price - even on the same online selling site?
The price on that site I imagine be like all online sites when you use C Card or Paypal will sting you on conversion rate – so it would be about 135-140 on the Maxtoch with pouch and spare O rings.
Good price.
