The Olight Javelot flashlight may well be impossible to drop due to slippage. Olight uses its own excellent designs for the grip area of its flashlights and has thankfully skipped the traditional shallow, cross-hatch etched grips of older lights, which doesn’t really contribute to grip traction. It is not rubberized but is a part of the design of the light. The grip area for the Olight Javelot flashlight not only feels good in the hand but is not slippery with sweaty or wet hands. The manual states that a fully depleted battery can take 3.1 hours to fully charge. I then charged the light with the supplied cable with its magnetic end that contacts the tail cap of the flashlight. I opened the tail cap to remove the battery tab and peeled off the lens protector. There is a plastic tab on the bottom of the battery inside the tail cap, and a clear, plastic lens protection cover is on the front. With a lot of effort, I can now forcefully shake the Olight Javelot flashlight out of its holster, but I could not when it was new. If I were canoeing I’d probably secure the light in a backpack. The flashlight is unlikely to come out of the holster during most normal work or recreational activities. After I used the Javelot for a while and had probably unholstered and re-holstered the light 15-20 times, the light came out of the holster pretty well. The Olight Javelot flashlight’s fit in the holster was pretty tight at first and if the holster came up in my hand when I reached for the flashlight I could operate it just fine through the hole in the holster. It projects a very bright center of light with a semi-sharp edge and a margin of halo visible at closer ranges, and a large, circular, semi-sharp-edge spill beam surrounding the center beam. The Olight Javelot flashlight throws a spotlight-type beam. Diameter: 1.57 inches (at widest point).IPX8 rated (OK for water splashes or brief immersion).Charge time: 3.1 hours if fully depleted.Charging cable – USB-A to magnetic tail cap contact. The Olight Javelot flashlight is a palm-sized, rechargeable, bright, LED spotlight / flashlight for EDC.
