Olight Baton 3 vs. S1R Baton II

[@JST4CYL]

You seem like such a solid guy. Your dad I'm sure was/would be proud!

[@flhandster4395]

I like how the S1R Baton 2 is compatible to charge in the Baton 3 Premium Charging Case. That would've been a great feature to highlight for those who may end up with both.

[@urbanjungle9600]

I really enjoy your presenting style, very sincere and genuine. I wish there were more KZbinrs like you. Keep up the great work

[@CoordinatedCarry]

I would enjoy a comparison between the Baton 3 and the S2R Baton 2

[@kevinwittig]

The orange S1R Baton II has been my favorite for a while as well.

[@timshull59]

One thing i dislike with the magnetic tail switch is I work construction and im constantly dirt and shaving caught between the switch and the base.other than that I like the Lights and Thrunites products.

[@weberry78]

Awesome stuff! The charging case that comes with the Baton 3 is nice, but I think I like the Warrior Mini most.

[@BigDoggRegg]

As always great video brother! I'm a HUGE Olight fan, I use the pro valkyrie & badr mini on all my handguns including my police duty gun. I have the odin & odin mini on all my rifles and AR9 pistols. I even use the warrior X turbo & seeker 2 as my police duty lights. For the features and quality you get for the money, they are pretty hard to beat and now I'm completely spoiled with having the magnetic charging capability of all their lights and I refuse to go back to replacing batteries all the time (havent had to buy batteries for ANY lights in like 4 years now). Just because they're a Chinese company, Olight has proven that doesn't mean that everything that comes out of China is crap. Just as I had decided to buy a Baton 2 for EDC, the warrior mini was released and I absolutely love it! I'm usually not into getting the different colors of any of Olights products but since its initial release i have been obsessed with it and I have EVERY color option of the warrior mini that has been released to date, the camo color is my favorite and my EDC. I'm kinda confused here though with Olight on the baton 3 as I dont really see what was the point of it? They just could've came out with the battery pack really cuz between the baton 2 & 3 they're practically the same light from what i can tell...IJS.

[@jeffgaboury3157]

[@tombrown8800]

The baton 3 looks pretty good. The warrior mini is da bomb.

[@robertrexus6191]

literally

[@spec2057]

Sorry if I missed it, but can the Baton 2 use the charging case as well or just made for the Baton 3? Thanks bud.

[@HarleyWood23]

I did not take the Baton 3 out of it's case to test, but others below have said it does work on the Baton 2. I'm guessing they watched another video where someone demonstrated that.

[@pmedic523]

It says on olights website that it will work. They also mentioned it in a video or two that olight has put out.

[@spec2057]

Update : Tested and yes, it works. Thanks guys.

[@Frizzlefry7]

Thankfully we only had a few rumbles on the west side!

[@danielclark3726]

I've gotta admit upfront, the only "big" Olight I have is the WXP in camo. That said, I like the Warrior Mini ahead of the others. I also like the color fade on Perun, it rocks.

[@CRAVEMAN-ol1gk]

Always wanted the little baton it's perfect for clipping to your hat! Cheers Harley

[@efcruzado]

I like that the charger works for the S1R. I got the Blue and Red premium Baton 3 models. Also got the Brass i3T.

[@psxnitro]

Never had olights since they seem to be a bit too pricey. But that recharging dock is a nice novelty I haven't seen before.

[@jamienelson5438]

Great video. I definitely prefer the WM over the S1R2. But the recharge pack makes it a great car or bag light.

[@Studat]

The omission of the 600 lumen mode is a bit of a deal breaker. Secondly can you charge the Baton 2 in the new charging kit? Great vid btw

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

You can indeed charge the Baton ll in the new charging kit

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

I'm not leaning one way or another on not having the 600 lumen vs longer run time but the 300 lumens is still a good chunk of light. I can see the individual pickets on my back fence at 31 yards with it easily

[@giellekaikey6000]

i think that S1R II has a cool white (which i prefer). Baton 3 seems to have that warm white. :(. I had S1R II (orange) for the longest time. And i wanted to upgrade for longer run time. …but I like cool white. I use it for self defense by shinning light directly into possible attacker when I walk the dog. in fact i have it attached all the time on my watch. :) i am hesitating to change my go-to EDC light.

[@16ft2in]

Sweet, I like the bronze color on the red Batan3. The blue has black in the black has blue, so...

[@ikon-wi1tn]

Interesting stuff, but still not better than a WM for edc. The charging case is something to think about at least.

[@pantheranegra2261]

Personally I see no reason to “upgrade” from my S1R to a standard Baton 3.

[@FelixDKatz-tb7or]

I bought the red box with the Brass I3T. Could get the link to work with from your page with my VIP. But at least glad I saw it here first.

[@lostlune]

why compare it to the warrior mini and not the s2r2 ? imo much better edc light than the warrior mini, more usable light

[@Juan-li8gt]

Blue seeker 2 pro is my personal favorite

[@kw02191]

Great vid! Love my S1R Baton II, the higher lumen count on the older version is interesting. Does the increased candela make the 300lumen on the Baton 3 seem brighter? Fellow Georgian here also. Cheers!

[@edstringer1138]

The high function is my most used mode ,the new light has half the lumens , The s3 isnt a upgrade

[@HarleyWood23]

Half the lumens vs which light? It has 200 Lm more than the S1R II

[@SteefaTak]

@@HarleyWood23 Not the turbo mode but the High mode on Baton 3. You should mentioned it because its fairly disapointing. Its the same on The Warior mini. Its often the most used mode and the should keep the lumens on the second mode higher. Something betwen 65-75 percent for half hour would be enought.

[@donaldstrader7241]

@@SteefaTak & @Ed Stringer It is a matter of preference. Many complained that the intermediate 600 lumen high for 1.5 minutes before stepping down to the normal 300 lumen high, caused a drain on the battery that could not be avoided. I don't have a strong feeling about it, but if you really need more light you have turbo for the 1.5 minutes or so. So the regular high 300 lumen level has not really changed and runtime is significantly increased. So some will be happy that now one can cycle from low to medium to high without being forced to hit 600 lumens for 1.5 minutes. In short, if you need a lot of light you will be able to run at 300 lumens for 95 minutes before resorting to the charging case. For a quick look into the distance with even more light hit turbo if you so desire. It is a balancing act with a relatively small battery. One reason I use a bigger flashlight if I really need more light. The Marauder 2 makes a fine walking light! :-D

[@HarleyWood23]

Oh. Versus high mode. Yes. You’re right.

[@edstringer1138]

@@donaldstrader7241 the Turbo indoors will blind from reflected light will blind you , Doing detail work the high is useful, the Turbo is again to much

[@WizzRacing]

I got both... All the way back to the original S1R Hex head version... I had to buy a new S1R II. As I left it stuck under a car. I was working on. They never come back..So I had to replace it...

[@jlpowell51]

I left my S2R stuck on a zero-turn mower I was working on. No idea where it is now. Good excuse to get the Baton 3, went with red this time, maybe easier to find when I eventually lose it.

[@samtan8430]

Thanks for the light beam comparison! It really help!

[@redgreen6436]

For me the most important thing in a tactical flashlight should be it's size, it should be like a yawara stick so you can use it to defend yourself if need be.All the new tactical lights seem to be too short and thick for this so i have to carry 2 things for this instead of what could be just a flashlight.

[@jonny0004]

I just fell into your video source today. Very nice job. I am a warrior mini guy also and like you because of weight and convenience carry the Baton II for pocket EDC. Already ordered from this flash sale, my bad. I did go for the bundle upgrade for the Baton III. I chose to use the glow in the dark condom on MY WM's for safety sake and I do also lock out those lights. Mostly Because we all know what can happen if activation occurs and you are not aware of said activation. I also the agree that the M2 Marauder is just an insane light with serious but limited operation. Like the Boy Scouts used to say, Always be prepared.... thanks again

[@roylerroycerickson]

What would you recommend for edc perun mini, baton 3 or warrior mini 2?

[@bradh6955]

The Marauder is insane. I don't really have a use-case to justify the expense, my Warrior M2 Pro has enough power, but that thing is sweet! I am getting a Baton 3 when the sale kicks off though.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Awesome video! Just a different video on another channel which showed the special edition of this. That has a night sky chrgingbox and metal gradiënt colored light. Looks pretty sweet as well. This is very impressive light with serious power

[@timbenham516]

I like them all, but the blue one really sticks out

[@JonathanVegas1]

You forgot to mention the emitter of both of these lights. Thanks for the review

[@stealthbraid765]

I own the Baton 3 and like it except it bugs me big time that the only battery I can run it is there “customized” cell. Just sayin

[@stealthbraid765]

@british resistance fighter this is true… but if I ever was in a pinch and wanted to use a primary, I can’t. I still think it would be nice if you had the option. Just sayin’

[@BuffaloNickel9]

Ahh...that's what's going on..why did they make the newer Baton 3 with half the output on high? I hate that No wonder my s1r2 was so much brighter on high

[@dldcustoms2921]

I'm not sure exactly but I would say it's because of the run time on the 3 is 95 mins and the s1r2 is only 45 mins

[@LTDbrad]

I must say the Baton 3 is amazing with it's making day out of night. However, my Baton failed after 2 weeks. The charge pack blinks red meaning battery has failed. I do hope the Olight team is responsive at getting this resolved.

I don't know if its me or not, but many times I have turned the Baton 3 off in "Low", and when I turn it back on the light is at "Medium" or "High". Has anyone else found the mode memory to be glitchy, or do I just need to get used to my first Olight a little more? Most of my other lights have been Fenix.

The problem with the 1000 lumen sr1 ii I have is the color is very green vrs the couple Fenix e18r I have which were $40 on sale have a wonderful neutral white best to see in natural colors and natural light - and they at 750lumen have a much larger flood, throw much further and the 750 lumen is way, way, way brighter than the 1000lumen sr1 ii..... so hesitant to pay for the baton 3 --- or add enough fluff to bump up the price to get the red one with case free.... why I am here trying to find reviews to decide.
