Olight Warrior Mini 3 Flashlight Review: Worth The Upgrade?

[@TorchHacker]

The metal button, slim pocket clip, hidden proximity sensor and flatter tail button look like big improvements over the Warrior Mini 2!

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah, I like this one a lot surprisingly :D

[@t5king850r]

I just got the cracked brass wm3 the other day damn its a really nice light i love everything about it i have brighter lights but the wm3 is small what a nice package they Are killing it lately.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

That one looks awesome :D would like a clean brass/copper one too

[@gregcushing1716]

If you hold down the side switch & hit the tailcap switch on high you get tactile mode.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Oh yeah, with strobe mode too!

[@Studat]

waiting on a Olight to do a high CRI. After using the Wuben X2 these lights seem a little off in terms of colour.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

They prioritise output I guess. I can't tell much of a difference as I'm partially colour blind 😅

[@aaronmaurer6874]

Anyone else still using the original Warrior Mini? I am and it's still working great!

[@TheMagicalSock]

I always want to hate Olight, but in the past year, they’ve made it pretty difficult. They offer a lot of their lights in neutral white emitters now, and I actually really like their UI.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

I'm in the same boat, I almost feel bad liking them haha. If you can get one for a good price, and deal with the proprietary charging, they're gold. The cell in the Warrior Mini 3 can also can be charged externally.

Good job Darren

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thank you my friend :)

[@kwongivan609]

great review, thanks

[@DarrenYeoYT]

You're welcome 🤗

[@t5king850r]

Funny thing i already had the wm3 battery in my slot charger running a capacity test i want to see exactly what the mah is wich with olight is always legit with other olight batteries i just use a small magnet in the middle of the battery and they all work perfect on my slot chargers. Also i love there wireless charging its awesome and there battery is pretty slick notice there is never no talk about placing or even needing a spring bypass they have a nice design but i still love all my other ligjts especially the ones running anduril 2.0 they all have pros and cons the wm3 is a very nice light..

[@Olafaloofian]

Thanks for the great review, Darren! If you had to choose between this and the Baton 3 Pro Max (since they are the same price), which would you pick and why? 🙂

[@DarrenYeoYT]

I prefer this one because it has dual switches (one on the rear which acts as a tactical switch). It's also brighter and has a longer effective range. Intense hotspot.. also good for self defence.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thank you mate!

[@Studat]

Hey, i got this model in this week. Can i ask, when you set it up for the rear switch to be in tactical mode where it hits strobe, have they changed it to only med mode and strobe? all other tactical olights when in tactical mode hits turbo on half press and full pressure gets strobe.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah man, I haven't got it on me right now but I remember mine was med/strobe too. I'd prefer it to have turbo as well. Still is a good self-defence mode I guess.

[@Studat]

@@DarrenYeoYT thought mine was faulty for a minute. Thanks mate

[@Gieszkanne]

Yes that is terrible and for me was the reason not to buy it. med/strobe for tactical mode make no sense to me. I will wait and hope that they will change that.

[@chesteraguilar3814]

What is the sideswitch . rubber or metal?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Metal (aluminium)

[@NGMonocrom]

One huge downgrade.... Now the clip is far too high up on the bezel for those of us who actually prefer bezel-up carry. Yes, it's lower profile than version 2. But now you have considerably less bezel to grip when pulling it out of a pocket. Really, no point to that. Might as well just put a dedicated bezel-down carry clip and call it a day.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Olight now include an adapter that allows you to place the clip on the tail cap area (invert it).
