OLIGHT Baton3 1200 Lumens Ultra-Compact EDC Flashlight, Powered by Rechargeable Battery for Household Search, Outdoor Camping, Hiking and Mountaineering (Black)

What can be said about Olight? I had an Olight Baton II and it worked flawlessly for a couple of years, but recently lost. I wasn't going to replace it with another Olight, instead I went back to using a pocket flashlight that uses a AAA battery. All I can say is once you get used to how bright these Olight flashlights are, a regular small flashlight is disappointing to say the least. And anyone will agree that the Olight flashlights are hard to beat and are well worth what they cost. The only thing is, I wished that the clip on them had a little more grip. Other than that, I have no real complaints with the Olight. I highly recommend!

Versatile and bright, easy to charge and use. The clip is constructed to be able to clip on interior or exterior and the light is adjustable to very bright or regular bright. Very handy on/off and the battery lasts so long i have not needed to change out a battery during use and have just been able to recharge it. It comes with an extra battery but I have not had to replace a battery yet as it keeps its charge.

This is the best EDC flashlight I have used. Worth the prize. Bought 2 for EDC and home use. Build is durable. Small yet powerful light. Smaller than my palm. Charger is great too. Easy to use.

I kid you not. It’s hard to explain but this is just a perfect small flashlight. It’s basically indestructible. It has intuitive 1 button controls for 3 brightnesses, turbo mode, and strobe. It has a strong magnet on the back (very useful for working on cars, on PCs etc), has a clip for your pocket/belt, or clips right on your hat perfectly oriented (I never ever use a headlamp anymore), it has a nice magnetic charger with clear indicator light, it uses a common easily removable battery which can be replaced even though my battery still holds a great charge after a year of regular use.One quick note about brightness, you’ll read a bunch of cheap Chinese clones talk about ridiculous brightnesses, but it’s mostly bs. This thing is honestly bright enough on its standard settings for any common use case, and turbo is so bright it is essentially a car headlight. You won’t be disappointed. This is now something I have gifted over and over, and likely something I’ll give to my groomsmen instead of the obligatory zippo/gerber everyone else does.If you buy this and regret it - I’d be amazed.

The baton series are great lights. I had the previous version to this, the S1R Baton 2, for years and loved it. I misplaced it on a trip out of town and immediately ordered the latest version when I got back home. This light is part of my daily pocket carry.The UI is very easy to pick up. Although not simple enough to just hand off to someone and expect them to know how to use it. Meaning, it’s not just a single brightness with an on/off button. It will default to the medium brightness setting after remaining off for 10 min or so. If you’re an edc enthusiast, then you’ll have no problem figuring out the UI. If this is your first time with a light like this, a quick read over the manual and you will have it memorized in no time.Battery life is very good for the way I use it. My most common use it walking outside to my car at night or a quick inspection at work. I’ve also used it for short walks at night on the lower brightness settings with great success as well. It can be used as a work light on a higher setting in a pinch, but might not last long enough to get the job done.Two aspects I love most about this light are the magnetic tail cap and dual pocket clip. I use the magnetic tail cap often when doing some quick work on the car. I also use the pocket clip attached to my hat brim more often then I thought I would. I don’t need a dedicated headlamp and this works perfect in a pinch when I need my hands free.The color temperature is a little on the cold side compared to other brands of lights I’ve used. Meaning is has more of a blueish tint. Olight is now offering some of there other lights in warmer temperatures, but have yet to offer it on the Baton 3. This is a minor detail, but I thought it worth mentioning.The battery is removable and replacements are available. It is a proprietary version of a 16340 due to the magnetic charging tailcap. I have never had to replace the battery and have always used the one provided with no problems or need for a spare.Overall it is a great light. I never leave the house without it and use it on a daily basis. I plan to expand my collection with some of Olights other offerings in the future.

Personally wish Olight would ditch their proprietary chargers and go with USB C. Having to keep track of yet another charger is kind of a hassle. BUT the light itself is as good as it gets, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been carrying it daily for several years now, or since this model got released.
