Olight Perun 2 Mini: Closing in on perfection. 1100 lumens down to 2 lumens plus Red light.

[@lastbesttool]

Apparently there is something floating around about a magnet in the headband for added security. However there is no magnet. And no need in my opinion. Further I’m not sure I want to strap a magnet to my forehead. Doc out. kzbin.infoVh_zIF46UQ8?feature=share

[@curlymaple42]

I found your video expressly to figure out if I should be using the tighter rubber strap setting as it didn't seem right but the hole setting was loose! Thank you for explaining this for me!

[@Jonno2summit]

I've done lots of backpacking/climbing and gone through a lot of headlamps. This is the best one I've used. It's also good for automotive work. I'm about to buy a second one. Hint: I store mine with the rubber band at the longest position so I'm not wearing out the rubber stretch. I also bought two of Olight's PL-Pro Valkyrie weapon lights. Those are a self-defense tool by themselves with their 1500 lumen strobe. Anyone can blind/disorient an attacker for several seconds with that thing! It might even work on bears, but I don't want to test that theory, thank you very much. Olight makes great stuff.

[@elecaire9094]

It also has 2 timer modes, 3min and 9min SOS mode And if you long press power (from off) it goes into a mode where it's only on if you're pressing the button.

[@thomash.4501]

I like it very much. I wish they will sell the headband separately soon and upgrade the regular Perun. The red light could be a little more dim but there is always something to complain about. Sadly it seems the changed the magnetic charger. Now its just black not the signature blue that Olight had.

[@aubie3425]

I love the moonlight on the Baton. I have little ones. Great night light to put in the bathroom of wherever we travel in case someone wakes up in the middle of the night.

[@curlymaple42]

Just got the perun2mini! I got the perun 2 thinking it was a double battery version of my H1N but it is way bigger! I saw the P2mini and figured I really wanted the red light for camping so ordered one on sale. Very happy with it!!

[@xXBallistic82Xx]

I got one free with my order and it turned out to be my favorite.

[@vicentcarro]

Good review! Does this proprietary magnet charger provide overcharging protection? I mean I need to 24hr stand charge it so I can use it anytime with zero worrying..

[@SWANSONBOTTLEHEAD]

I've left these chargers on a few different lights for days without any trouble

[@vicentcarro]

@SWANSONBOTTLEHEAD thank you 😊

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍

[@liqian2638]

Would be nice if double click directly turn on turbo, like baton 3. Think red light is not that emergent to use but sometimes turbo is

[@anywhereroam9698]

Great review, thanks for showing the headbanc mechanism and that you can leave the belt clip on. I have the H1R and love it. The Perun Mini looked like a downgrade to the H1R, whereas the Perun 2 Mini looks like an upgrade. Can keep the belt clip on, has a red light mode, has a battery level indicator, and a pocket lock mode.

[@Wildernessoutside]

yeah I own a hr1 which ive lost ,and this looks like a slight lumen upgrade and the added red-light option

[@flhandster4395]

Thanks for the video. I do wish it had the strobe light feature. 😨😏

[@sambaggins2798]

Good instructions. I honestly couldn’t understand the written instructions. One too many head injuries. You made it easy so, cheers.

[@erbartlett]

Are there other really small right angle lights like this?

[@victoriar.103]

Fenix LD15r is very comparable as far as size and UI, but lumen output is different.

[@walterbwd]

Will the pocket clip twist around it a bit? The thing I don’t like on the first one is the pocket clip is fixed, when I clip it to my hat I don’t like it pointing straight down. I was thinking if the pocket clip twists a little I can turn it 90 degrees and clip It to the side of the bill on my hat

[@walterbwd]

It can!! I didn’t watch the full video before I posted my comment lol sweet!

[@edrader]

honesty like the predecessor better. i like the way the older light attaches to the strap better and the button on the older flashlight is easier to actuate. even the red is fiddly to actuate. hope i get used to it but the older model is better for me

[@twatmunro]

Yeah, all out of stock on Olight's UK website.

[@nycbike73]

I believe you cab use a CR123 with this light as well.

[@Alexander.Grekhov]

It's really beyond me why would anyone choose non-Hi-CRI option for the headlight, that is primarily meant for close-up work, when the true reproduction of colors is desirable. How does the Olight crowd think about looking at options outside the Brand? I use and can recommend Sofirn HS10 (Samsung 4000K/5000K) in 16340 format; use it for night walks in the woods (~1.5 hours). The Fresnel-type TIR has a soft punch that is very welcome outdoors. The downside it is unregulated, so it gets a bit dimmer towards the end. USB-C charging, stepless brightness adjustment available. Another option is Skilhunt H04RS Mini ( Nichia 519A 4500K / Samsung 4000K) in 18350. Magnetic charging, great headband. All modes are regulated here. The beam pattern is very disperse, comfortable for close-up work or doing stuff in the yard, / outside the house. Both of these have real Moonlight mode - 1 lumen or lower. 2 lumens is no Moonlight mode. Small changes at the bottom of lumen scale are actually perceived as big, and vice versa; the function is logarithmic. No red light in these alternatives. It is a big deal for some, I understand.

[@rickv5004]

whats the power source?

[@joehart3826]

Same q here, we don't know what battery it has or how to charge it.

[@jacobm9697]

Lithium non interchangeable but Olight offers 1yr replacement warranty on batteries.

[@matthewhebbert9712]

This is why I never bought this light. It's a lithium battery that you can't change, and it uses a proprietary magnetic charger that connects to the magnetic end cap. I don't need yet another charger to carry around that doesn't work on anything else, and if I lose it or it breaks, I'm screwed.

[@skywardsoul1178]

​@@matthewhebbert9712I'm pretty sure it is replaceable considering you can buy spare batteries for quite cheap.

[@silvestro2in1]

Good review, thx. Question Can you please check if it can be used from an external battery via cable? That would give extended autonomy If yes, are all the modes Lo, Med and Hi available? or only Low? Thank you

[@CanItAlready]

I just tried it and it works. All the modes are available while plugged into a power bank or a charger.

[@cgtbrad]

Would be be even better if red was dimmable too.

[@inBluEDC]

It has a low medium high for the red

[@lastbesttool]

Help me here. I did find an SOS behind the main red, but how do I get different red light intensities? Thanks.

[@inBluEDC]

@@lastbesttool maybe I am wrong but I swear to God when I was watching a live stream sean was showing it in the video. I don't have my light yet so I can't test myself and I only asked a couple of people but it looked like on the red mode he just held down and it changed. It could also be possible that he was showing a different light along side it but idk

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

I'm a little excited to get my orange one

[@MusicFed]

Why don’t they make this with usb-c?

[@TheInvisibleOrange26]

2 lumens is perfect just reading things or papers or seeing things

[@denzelsavington]

mine stopped working, battery is fully charged, the charger is ok (recharge other batteries) but the torch doesn't switch on! first time i unboxed worked perfectly... any suggestion?

[@CanItAlready]

Make sure it's screwed together all the way. If it loosens even slightly it won't work.

[@TheDesertsweeper]

In today's world of info overload I would be fumbling forever trying to get the mode I want! The only problem I have with this is that it needs a cable to charge. With a USB-C port it would already be in my basket.

[@pzwolski]

Millis Construction got it 2 hours earlier. 😄

[@atomicsmith]

That UI does look almost perfect. I wish they would do a AA version of this...

[@platoscavealum902]

👍 🔦

[@ctrlartdel]

I like how they made it not able to spin with the clip. H2 you could put it on your hat ect and change the angle… BS

[@bernardomotard]

You can though.

[@unregistereduser1088]

JUST 1 SETTING. I want on & off, no heinz 57 flavors of annoying clicks before my light is on/off. Give me 250 lumens in a penlight that will last 5 hours with a tail cap switch and is light enough for me to hold in my mouth. Usb-c rechargeable and made in USA a major bonus.

[@joehart3826]

Trust me moonlight is great for camping with others

[@unregistereduser1088]

@@joehart3826 I'm a mechanical tech in a factory. I use a flashlight everyday, multiple times per day. Simple is better.

[@joehart3826]

@@unregistereduser1088 That's where the memory is great, it remembers your favourite setting, set that and forget the rest?

[@Gillysaurxx]

I agree. Thats why Ive been using the Streamlight Microstream for years. I dont think I’ll ever switch

[@richardarthur4024]

Always 1 person to moan

[@MrWhaatay]

Thumbs down for shilling. No one uses the red light. Also no smooth ramp up and down which is a failure for a light at this price. I went from having to charge my flashlight at least weekly when I had one with modes like this to once every three weeks for one where I can ramp the brightness up and down.

[@brendanm7336]

I use the red on my headlamp often while camping.

[@ColbyRobertson-ix9ri]

As a pilot, I use the red light often

[@tbo2120]

‘No one uses the red light’ You can tell you just use torches to go to mummy’s shed. Let the men gather here. Little boys are welcome to go to another video? 😘
