Unboxing the Olight S1R II Baton Everyday Carry Flashlight

[@MrThatblueguy]

Very popular knife indeed.

[@BestDamnEDC]

😭

[@MrThatblueguy]

@@BestDamnEDC hey if you don't mind I was wondering how you think this compares to the s1r baton turbo s? The s1r baton turbo s only goes to 900 lumine, but it has 6 brightness settings vs the 5 of the s1r 2 baton. Both drop from their higher settings to 300 lumine, but the turbo s also has a straight to 300 option. Also for the shared 600, 60, 12, and 0.5 lumine options the turbo s battery lasts longer then the s1r baton 2. Beam Distance and Light Intensity are the same. The positives for the new one is that it weighs slightly less, is slightly smaller, and just barely has a smaller body diameter. S1r baton turbo s is $60, S1r 2 baton is $65. Though the 25% off at launch puts the s1r 2 baton at $48.75. With discount s1r 2 baton is the better deal. You you think they'll faze out the s1r turbo s?

@@BestDamnEDC lmao how did you not catch that mistake during editing 😂

[@BestDamnEDC]

I did. I made a huge title that said "Knife?"

[@aggaviriyo790]

@@MrThatblueguy I have both S1R and S1R II and I assure you S1R II is better in every way than S1R It's smaller, brighter, grippier, faster charging and with all that said, I don't think minus 1 lumen mode is really an impact

[@seth1047]

Just realised how useful this could be on a hat.

[@PreparedPatriotNC]

Love this light! Disappears in the coin pocket of pants. I have since upgrated to the s2 baton for more horsepower/battery life. My only complaint is if you are doing an extended project and you want it bright, the battery and heat protection mode with turn it down automatically. Not good in the middle if a job.

[@Snapper314]

The Olight S1R Baton 2 is a great little light. It's been in my EDC rotation along with an Acebeam TK16 AL. You forgot to mention that while the Olight comes with a proprietary battery, it will work with any CR123A or RCR123.

[@samtheitalian4896]

Any idea on the run times with a regular cr123?

[@docink6175]

Definitely a cool little flashlight. It's amazing how much light they can get from such a small package.. I would definitely use the lanyard though, my hands aren't what they once were

[@sungjungro5444]

Most advanced flashlight, I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I can tell you that. Thanks for the review. Great one.

[@TimothyCordova]

The reversed clip is for clipping it to your hat.

[@billnoe8728]

Just a word of caution. I have an S1 Baton it is the original model but it has a magnet in the butt end. I can't tell you how many times that light would drag something else out of my pocket because of that magnet. Also there were several times I lost the light because my keys or knife would drag the light out without my knowledge and drop the light somewhere in the lawn. I still have it but I don't carry it any longer. It is a spare light that serves as a refrigerator magnet. I now carry the Olight I3T.

[@Sajen006]

If you're interested in removing the magnet, I am more or less certain that it should be possible to do. As far as I know it should be a ring magnet held down by some type of insert. Undo the insert and the magnet should come right out! That is if it works in the way I've understood

[@claytoneads6842]

This is still on the "Flashsale" date...& Olight has already sent me a shipping notice!!! I had to get 2 of them...sigh...( I'm a flashlight nerd)...This brings my total too: 2 S1R turbo Baton, 2 S1R turbo II Baton's (enroute), 1 iREOS, 1 Smini in copper, 1 S30R III Baton, 1 H2R Nova, 1 R50 Pro Seeker, 1 R50 ProSeeker LE Edition... Out of all of them I use the Batons more for everyday carry, followed by the H2r Nova...( The Batons I clip on the ring of my 511s so no interference with the magnet & pocket items), and the Nova as a headlamp at night and pocket light during daylight... As I said...I'm a flashlight nerd!!! LOL...Thank's for the great video!!! :-)

[@virgjr.9123]

Just received mine today (Oct. 29) and definitely look forward to running it through a few tests and hoping that it holds up. Definitely feels like a solid light and the brightness is incredible. Thanks for the review, definitely helped sort out the various features of the light.

[@mftran]

Definitely a great upgrade from the previous S1R.

[@PhotoCaptured]

I literally just rewound to hear you say "popular knife". That was great man, and seriously, you just went forward without missing a beat here. Nice! I've had the S1 Baton for over a year, and really enjoy it. I ended up giving it to my wife when we were still dating. She keeps it clipped to her purse and loves it, but didn't start using it a lot until more recently when we ordered a slew of rechargeable batteries. It's nice to have these new features with the new designs, but I am very much a fan of just swapping out the batteries and keeping the light on me. I'm rather liking the i3T eos but the batteries don't last long. However it is great for clipping to the nylon pouch of my Leatherman Wave Plus. On the topic of modes... I prefer a light that starts always in low and can be cycled to high. No tlashing or S.O.S. nonsense. Tail click, soft press to turn on or cycle, hard press on, and a sturdy clip that keeps it lense down in my pocket or attached to a pouch. Another good video, Taylor. Really looking forward to the EDC video in the morning!!! Looking forward to seeing this weeks gear collections 😎

[@dwaynefrechette2011]

Great vid! Off topic but, a while back you mentioned the Kobalt BitBar licensed look-alike. Great thing! I just bought 9 of them for $1.99 each at Lowes on clearance! TWO BUCKS! Great stocking stuffers! Get em now!

[@danielcluley870]

This ia an awesome light and my house utility light for the last year. Magnetic charger is great. It sits on my counter for any task around the house, garage, outside with HUGE output capability in a small size. Honestly it is a bit too much for me for EDC. I wouldn't mind carrying it, but it's just not necessary. I carry an EOS 1r2 on my keychain and that has always been enough for me for edc and so handy for the size. Love Olight products generally that are very well built and reliable.

[@L.T.112]

I do really enjoy your videos and I do really enjoy them when I am going to sleep, not because they are boring but more because they are relaxing. God bless

[@folksurvival]

Shut off the electronics at least an hour before bed.

[@anjelmunoz804]

Great review. Even better knowing it takes a CR123A battery; now I have a dual purpose for that; since I carry a PL-2 Val for my handgun. You really helped out narrowing down purpose.

[@nachoman2072]

lol he has a backup flash light for the back up flash light,and the back up flashlight for the other back up flash light.😂

[@spade2you]

Very impressive flashlight to say the least. My only gripe is that lanyard attachment isn't particularly feasible. The hole is tiny and the location does not work well with small key chain loops. Something like the old Mini-mag light location works much better for that particular purpose. I have resorted to using the wrist strap and using some knots to make it more like a lanyard.

[@navy__8430]

This is perfect I was looking at adding a flashlight to my edc, and I see the S1 featured constantly. And I'm super early too

[@BestDamnEDC]

Friday is the day to do it, my man! lol

[@loonghiew1686]

Just picked up one from the flash sale that Olight is having at the moment. Decided to buy one after watching this video last night. Thank you 😊

[@dustinchristopher66]

I’m in love with the Kizer Sheepdog. Sweet knife! It’s on my wish list. Just too expensive for an everyday carry right now.

[@dynasty4851]

This light is super tiny but it is very bright! I'm subscribing to your channel.

[@caarizaga]

Great video...I ordered mine already just waiting on the delivery, but my question is wow what a knife you used to cut open the package what's the name of it

[@kitnoki2]

Kizer Sheepdog

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thanks, just bought one from the OLight store, really looking forward to its arrival, excellent review, cheers

[@Fancyrat1013]

can you use a non-proprietary battery and not use the charger? like if it dies stop in to a drug store or wall mart. so you can finish your day and swat the rechargeable back in when you get home.

[@gjhoward]

You'd be better off going to a vape shop and see if they have any 18350 IMRs

[@gjhoward]

...or carry a battery bank. They make ones that slip into your pocket.

[@clems6989]

Deal breaker for me !!

[@gonerydin4225]

Mine works with a CR123 if necessary.

[@xderiwx]

@@gonerydin4225 Thanks, that's great to know!

[@ke6533]

I have multiple Olights. My current EDC is the S1 mini. Love it plus I have the the I1r.

[@MrJimmyWiles]

How do you guys carry this? Mine seems to have a really soft clip. No retention.

[@DarkWish98]

My S1R II Copper just arrived and im mindblown, thanks for recommending.

[@OscarCelorio]

Will this light fit in the smaller pocket of the Yellow Birch Outfitters PocKit Pro EDC Organizer Modern Carry? Thank you.

I like the multiple view angles that you add, great touch.

[@SimeonTsvetanov]

Wow that's my next KNIFE for sure...

[@Fullmetal_Sensei]

First over 5 buck flashlight I have purchased that wasn't a TLR for a weapon. Great video and can't wait to add to my EDC. Hope they give u credit for it!

[@jaredcampbell]

How does this compare to the Fenix E18R? Thanks for the video.

[@evanmalinowski6302]

Look forward to picking one up! It’s going to be great for the fire department! Keep up the great videos!

[@johnnato5896]

I love this show ,after reading Fire dept i am a 67 yr old guy who’s late father and my Hero was a Cleveland Firefighter a Lt.at10yrs old he would take me to the station and actually stay overnight and slide down the pole at the sound of the bell ,Jump on the hook and ladder,imagine that today guys

[@dezfan]

Awesome light, might be make it into my EDC rotation. Thanks for the first look.👍🏼

[@wiseandfunfox]

Can someone answer, Does the S1R baton 2 fit on a regular keychain ring?

[@garth3236]

Is the magnet feature sometimes annoying? I can imagine it would want to stick to everything else in my pocket, keys, knife, phone etc.?

[@miketuppen6438]

How does this compare with the Trustfire MC 1? That one is a bit cheaper and seems to last longer on a charge.

[@themtaylor5768]

Anybody know if this light turns on in your pocket often? I imagine with the side switch that would be a big problem.

[@gjhoward]

You already got one?! So jealous, Taylor!

[@BestDamnEDC]

It sat on my desk for nearly a week before I opened it. SO painful. lol

[@gjhoward]

That was an error on my part. Fixed now.

[@Bazz0li]

Anyone know if you shouldn't carry one if you wear a mechanical watch ?

[@HardcityRaindrops]

Man im gonna own every olight they have lol

[@farmfanugan]

I prefer the previous version because of the rotatable clip and medium mode lasts an hour longer at 40 lumens

[@jakenelson6754]

Thank you for great review! I have one this with my Armytek Prime C1 Pro - similar to Olight S1R, but have more lumens and more durable. Can you review some of Armytek products, for example Wizard, or Elf models?

[@mattp3471]

Is it normal for the bezel of the S1R II to heat up (feel warm to the touch) on medium setting and above?

[@DanielNyberg7]

Best knife, coming soon

[@ryejack]

I own a side button flashlight, that's about the same size, that likes to turn on in my pocket. The button gets triggered by the fabric, especially when I sit down. Has anyone who's carried the Olight Baton II have that issue? It looks like a solid light, but I don't want to buy it if it's going to have that problem.

[@YouP3ude]

nice watches dude. what are those ur wearing pls ?

[@jaydenbrown7882]

It also has a strobe triple click

[@vabu94]

Maybe i'll get that one if i break or get bored of my OG s1 baton.

[@dheller777]

A thousand lumens for 1.5 minutes then you basically have s 300 lumens flashlight. Also how hot does this this get which is why it steps down so quickly?

What knife were you using to open the package?

[@warpedone2]

Love the magnetic feature

[@whiteperson1]

what is the difference between the s1 and s10 line???

[@remb9614]

You might be like me, as far as pocket carry goes the width is more important than the length to me.

[@Bradzn200]

what watch is that? very nice

[@anthonypo3289]

If they make it in neutral white, HCRI, maybe in titanium then i might get one. 🔦

[@montebarnes8043]

What’s the best deep carry knife under 75$

[@IsaacAbinante]

I've only heard great things about the new Civivi line! There are 3 models at $42.50, I personally like the look of the Praxis the best, and there are also 3 different colors. G10, steel liners, 9cr18mov (which is comparable to VG-10), 3.75" so a full size blade, and deep carry clips on all three models.

[@kanceroner5456]

Hey brother do you think you could tell me what you edc for your keychains and stuff like that?

The customer service for this company is horrible. The battery that came with it doesn't hold a charge for long. They refuse to answer questions regarding what batteries to use. If you dont use the battery that came with it the high lumen mode doesn't work and will not charge. Theres the battery for the s1r not the 2nd generation but this battery is marked for the s1r baton II only. Like I said they wont answer whether it's intended to use the battery from the baton I. There are questions there dating to March that are unanswered and no they haven't replied to emails
