I3T Plus: www.olightstore.com/s/F6EH57 This is just not a good flashlight...very little benefit over the I3T and it can only maintain its top output for 1min vs 5 from the standard 13T.

I wish somebody would make a flashlight like "MAGLITE" 6"D" cell flashlight 🔦that's big enough to be used ad a bat and hat built in TASER and peppers pray dispenser all in one . Also has a pointed tip that can break all car windshields for rescue .
Since you challenged me to rate these myself, here is how i would put my Top 10 Olight's. I love your list and videos! I have found a lot of great flashlights through your Every Flashlight ranked video like the Weltool Pro Tac 1 v.2 and Weltool tac 2. Also the nextorch ta15 (the capability to use all those batteries is amazing and handy!) 1.) Warrior 3S 2.) Arkfeld Pro 3.) Seeker 4 Pro 4.) Baton 4 Premium (with Case) 5.) Warrior Mini 3 6.) Baton 3 Pro Max 7.) Oclip 8.) Perun 2 Mini 9.) Baton Turbo 10.) O'Pen Glow
Thank you very much for your great overview 1. Warrior Mini 3: comination tail-switch & side-switch (best user interface, light weight, throw) 🙂 2. Warrior 3s: comination tail-switch & side-switch (best user interface, high output, throw) 🙂 3. Seeker 2 pro (Seeker 3 and 4 are a bit of a toy with the "turning" user interace, amd somehow less focused)
i just upgraded form the seeker 2 pro to the 4 pro and.... i have to admit the rotating dial absolutely makes it as you can set any brightness you want in seconds... going back to the 2 it just feels clunky now... the seeker 4 pro, baton 4 mini and Warrior x4 are my top picks... and the little clip light is amazing, got it free
I got the Perun Mini as a novelty for the collection... It turned out to be one of the best EDC lights I've ever had. I was NOT expecting that, and it was a close second to the Fenix LD15R. I got the Mini 2 for the additional features that would have made it the equal of the Fenix, had they kept the stronger tail magnet and the grippy body... and then Fenix came out with the HM50R v2 with the best headband to date for this class of light. I still carry the Olights every day, but I'll use a Fenix when I feel like something slightly fancier.
Man the holster that you keep in your truck is super cool! I didnt realize it can charge pretty much all of their flashlights too, glad you included that!
Sorry, that is not possible. The Seeker 4 Pro has 2 contacts for charging. The inner one is for the normal MCC and the outer one is for the holster. Except for the Seeker 4 Pro, you cannot load any Olight in the holster. They fit in but they don't charge.
I love the warrior nano because of the short length. I use it for work a lot up in ceilings a an electrician. The short length lets it hang horizontally off any piece of metal without any fear of it flopping of. You can hit it on accident and it won’t flop off a piece of strut, a stud, truck frame what have you. I carry it in the same pocket as my bench made and don’t notice it.
@@augustusgloop9330 The throw is good but it is more of a flood light. It is mighty for its size but it is still a small flashlight. If I was going camping or knew I was going to spend extended time in the dark I would grab a larger flashlight. It is amazing for an every day flashlight just incase I need it, always in my pocket and ready to go.
@@Shaggnanigans ok thanks for the reply, I’m trying to find a good light that’s got some decent throw for when I go out at night for walks. I’ll keep this one in mind
@@AriR6R Depends what you want to do with it. Personally I prefer the 21700 lights as the optimum performance/size combo and I think the Warrior 3S is possibly the best pocket friendly 21700 light they've made. A personal favourite. That said, if you're searching woods at night you may want something more throwy (Warrior X3) or on a campsite you may want something more floody (Seeker 4 Pro). But for an all rounder, Warrior 3S gets my vote.
I'm not surprised by the Baton 3 being rated number 2, but I am surprised by the praise for the charging case. After buying two of them myself, I realized that even with some cables included, an equivalent mAh power bank is smaller, lighter, and more electrically efficient, plus it can charge anything. Glad to see the Oclip make the top 5. I feel so bad for it since it's such a good light but hardly anyone talks about it and even during its debut it didn't get a sale. It is only IPX5 though, so don't kill your light by trying to submerge it.
100% agree. The Baton case seems like a gimmick and I'm surprised how many people rate it. As you say, a normal power pack works better, and if the user just wants lots of torch battery life then they'd be better off picking a bigger torch (instead of a mini torch with a chunky case that becomes... a big torch!).
Hear me out: Perun 2! You get a high output floody headlamp with a comfortable head strap. Take off head strap and use with a clip. Right angle is great for clipping on a pack, table standing, or more secure magnetic work light. Basically the same output and light pattern as the Seekers with more flexible usability.
The S2R Baton 2 (now the Baton 3 Pro) has been my main flashlight for years and I've been happy enough with it that I haven't upgraded. All my other flashlight purchases since then have been keychain lights or lanterns (and some of those are freebies from Olight -- love that about 'em). But I can tell how much thought you put into this and I must take notice that you think the Warrior Mini 3 beats the Baton 3 Pro. I'll go back and find your full review on that. Also interesting that you include the O-Clip. Thanks for all the work you put into this. It really can be confusing when trying to figure out what flashlight to get.
@@rangerbravo I do think it's pretty much the perfect flashlight for home, EDC, and power outages.. And I don't need anything brighter. I never use turbo.
You are correct. My 1st Olight was the i3T. Slim fit in my Leatherman sheath with my Charge+. Soon after, bought the i5T. I switch them out. In my hip, I don’t feel them there.
Amazon Ships Faster (Most times you can get free delivery for 4am-8am next day).... Olight takes 3-7 days and sometimes 10 days. Just saying a possible reason for people to order from Amazon.
I just grabbed a Warrior 3S to keep on my nightstand. I like it because you can quickly access 2300 lumen turbo mode. Nice home defense if someone gets in the home and makes it to my bedroom, might he a nice way to distract an intruder while I grab my nightstand gun.
Your top 3 is on point! My first olight was the boosted i3t powered by a 10440, which I still carry as secondary. Pocket rocket! But my overall top olight is definitely the warrior mini 3. A very hard to beat light. It literally has everything. Btw this is the best edc channel! You're like the professor of the edc world. Thanks!🎉
My parents sent me the baton 4 premium as an early Xmas gift. I was shocked how small it is ! Amazing output but the charger is going to make this a no brainer with it's ability to charge so many olight lights! Game changer
I'm a creature of habit and still carry the S1 Baton mini 6 years after buying it. I have the Baton 3 as well, but the S1 just lives in my jeans pocket 24/7. Yes, I know it has a weird charging system compared to the other Olights out there (you have to take out the battery and charge it directly via mini usb port) but the torch itself is barely larger than the battery, and I love the small form factor.
I've been using the Olight Diffuse with a suspension clip for a few weeks now and I've got to say that I'm loving it. Being able to charge it via USB-C, or use a regular 14500 or AA makes it highly versatile. Also, having the UI and functions of the "big boys" combined with the very nice lumen output (for its size) is a giant plus. It's not the most beautiful flashlight out there, but it's growing on me. And the form factor does not make any difference at all when carrying it in pocket.
I love the Warrior 2 Mini and the Warrior 3S and do actually prefer the larger one for daily pocket carry. I do recognize that most people are used to holding something smaller.
I got the Arkfeld pro, Warrior 3 Mini, and Perun 2 headlamp for work in Aviation maintenance. Love all three of them but am most surprised by the Perun 2 mini, the light being at a 90 degree angle is so versatile and convenient, and it’s surprisingly bright. Ordering me a Baton 3 Pro for the house today.
Very good list! You showed me new stuff too which makes some lights even more interesting! The Baton 4 with its multicharging case is replacing the Baton 3 for me in terms of favorite. The case can recharge Baton 4, Baton 3 and Perun Mini and is super versatile with a charge level display - another winner for Olight. The OClip is super interesting however I have not seen it yet on sale at any of Olight sale events.
Great video as always. I've been trying to weigh different options for a car light and keep going back and forth between the Seeker 4 Pro and the Marauder Mini. Do you ever find yourself wanting/missing the long throw spotlight nature of something like the Maurader Mini or Javalot Mini while running your Seeker 4 Pro in the car?
not as much as I thought. I think there is also some justifcation for having more than one light to use. The marauder Mini isn't exactly something you can carry either.
I am totally blind. But I was looking for five flashlights, for my buddies who always help me whenever I need help. I was wanting something for them that has a magnet and a clip for around $15 or less because I am wanting to get five of them. So if you can make a suggestion and put it in the link or a link right here somewhere, it would really help me out a lot. Thank you very much.
magnet and a clip...this might be a bit of a struggle I know some with magnets and price (Imini2) but not clip. and I know ones that work very well (RovyVon A1 G4) but not in that budget range. The RovyVon is $26 which is as close as I can figure.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but as an avid Olight fan, and in the market for a new work light, I found myself here. My two cents about the warrior mini 2 (which has been my EDC light for about two years now) is that it is a more friendly carry than the warrior mini 3 solely because you can mount the clip on the tail end to give the user a very deep tail up carry. The warrior mini 3 does not allow this (no groove to switch the orientation of the clip), and that is my only gripe with it. If they made a fourth generation of the warrior mini with the improved tail switch, more recessed and updated side switch, updated sensor, and a swappable clip, I'd be first in line to purchase it. I ended up picking up the warrior 3s for my work light because it comes with the nylon holster and I will be mounting it on a duty belt. Hopefully it works out well for me, but I will be trying to pocket carry it as a new EDC and use the warrior mini 2 in the holster. Nonetheless, I will remain a big fan of Olight's products and continue to buy from them.
I thought it was funny, that you point out the keychain flashlight, is a good way to get started, if you are not sure if you want an EDC flashlight, and then end on don't buy it, becasue you can get it for free with another flashlight :)
I just bought my 2nd in 9 years. The Baton 3 Pro Max. Make sure that it is the 2,500 L`s-the 1,500 are a bit cheaper, 10.00. These have improved so much in the last 7 plus years. Go to RUclips and check out the models befor you decide. Best of luck, God bless. Ebay has some good prices.
I only have 4 but my order fits with yours, 1st place the perun 2 mini, 2nd the i5r, 3rd the i3e, and 4th the Diffuser. The Diffuser is a great light but It isn't very comfortable in the hand and I find myself going for the i5r way more often, the i3e is a great little keychain light and it was free so cant beat that value, and the perun is awesome, it's the brightest of the bunch as well as being super handy to clip to a pocket or wherever and have light, can't really use any of the others hands free unless they're straped into the peruns headmount or in your mouth
I have to go with the baton 3 premium, it is smaller than my thumb, and EDC’s perfectly, is not too heavy to wear on your hat. the charging case is perfect to keep it fully charged. I have a premium and also just the light, so I can continually switch lights in the case.
I had an S2A Baton, great output and runtimes. Now I switched to 21700 lights. The only Olight I would buy is the Arkfeld Pro, for the laser and UV. I'd also get that type c adapter/charger thingy.
Are you for real are you actually saying that I can save money to buy something when it's on sale it absolutely blew my mind right now 😂 I just couldn't let it be ;) I love Olight but I would had loved a light with less lumens and much better run time without having to step up to a larger light and using it on a lower setting. Keep up the good content bud, Loads of love from Sweden❤
Ok, regarding your truck mount for the Seeker 4 Pro, does the horizontal piece that you have mounted to the console come with the light? Are you using the optional Seeker 4 Pro Horizontal Holster? How is it affixed to your console: screws or 2 sided tape?
@maxlvledc I think your almost spot on. I think with the baton 4 Premium out the 1 and 2 spot might need to be switched. The charging case can now charge the baton 3/4, S1R II, Perun Mini, and Perun 2 Mini. And to top it off it also a power bank that can charge your other gear via the usb-c port.
I have been lucky enough to receive most if not all of Olights flashlights and products and i have to say that the warrior 3 not the warrior 3s THE WARRIOR 3 is hands down my favorite and best light i own
I'm a huge fan of Olights, particularly the Baton 3/Pro/Max lights. I carry them all the time as my work EDC and can't say enough great things about them. But I was completely blown away by the Dream Blue/gold accents Warrior 3S. Definitely the best looking flashlight I've ever seen or owned. WOW what an incredible light.
I used to EDC the Warrior 3S but working in the scrap metal industry, that tail cap does not play nice with iron filings. The Baton 3 Pro Max was super exciting, but ultimately disappointing. Yes it’s bright but I would rather longer run times. As it is the Baton 3 Pro can go longer. The “shake to wake” also seems unnecessary.
@@maxlvledc Ok, max run time. Sorry. The other brightness settings do run longer but the moonlight mode is .5 lumen for 120 days on the pro vs 1 lumen for 60 days on the Pro Max.
I have an Olight model 92 SR. Was a great light and threw a spot beam 1700 yards! After a couple of years the battery needed replacement (the battery was built into the handle) and lo and behold no battery was available from the manufacturer, they had stopped making them. So I now have a $300 flashlight head with a case but no way to make it work! Too bad as I really liked that light…..cheers
Just bought the warrior mini 2. Cant wait to see how well itll work. I have that smaller one the i5r that i love but it gets hot and then flickers the light thatll drive you nuts
Bro i agree with the i3t being number one. Ive had so many and given a few away. My favorite i own is probably the brass one but i just got the i3t 2 dragon light and im liking it so far. I just got it so im looking forward to trying it out more. I dont have any of the newer lights really besides that so my number 2 for edc is the s2r2
I would add a I3e eos. I have one on every keychain. AAA batteries available everywhere . Love all the olights. But I started only buying flashlights with replaceable batteries . I expect more than 5 years from my tools, and internal batteries always fall short. I use only enloop rechargeable batteries after having Duracell batteries leak and damage other flashlights. Never use alkalines. Favorites are Warrior 2 mini, Baton 3, and Perun 2. O K
I see you rockin the Casio lineage titanium! I’ve been thinking about picking one up, hopefully on a Black Friday sale. What are your thoughts on it? Mainly cons?
I have had the Baton 3 premium I’m anodized red for years and my main dislike is the magnetic charging on the tail end. I get that it makes charging a breeze and also adds some dual functionality to the light when you want to stick it to a metal surface but even in my pocket it picks up metal shavings. I work as a welder so the weld dust is in the air so this a a major annoyance. I’m thinking of upgrading to the Warrior X 4 to solve this very problem.
I daily carry a baton 3 ( with a small diffuser) , perun 2 mini and a sofirn if19 as they can all use the same olight battery type. I have ordered the warrior nano so I’ll have to see how that fits in with my daily carry system.
First off I want to say I had to miss the last q&a stream because I had family in the hospital and I had to be there and I hope you will do those 1 per month because they seem good. Also, I wonder if you would consider a "get to know you" type of deal where you could talk more about yourself how you got into edc stuff and where you came from and why you decided to do youtube videos that sort of thing. Also at first I didn't really like the magnetic chargers for olights but I've watched a lot of videos and I see now that besides the size reduction and ease of waterproofing you also get a magnetic tail cap which is really nice to have imo. Also, and I don't think a lot of people new to olight know this because I sure didnt, they make a bar that has multiple spots for mag charging so if you go all in on olight you can have a charging hub for them all. I still have type c battery flashlights scattered through my house. Which is nice for the ease of replacement. However, every time I go to use one it has set for so long that the batteries have discharged and have almost no output. These newer batteries are great at holding a charge and, in my observations, are much more reliable.
I use the Seeker range the most. Seeker 2 Pro, Seeker 4 Pro and the Seeker 4 mini are my users. I’d like to get a Seeker 4 for the throw. Not keen on the plug in charging though.
Love the seeker 4, and disagree with the baton 3 pro, love the size and the extended output. May not beat the baton 3 pro max but it’s considerably smaller, perfect fit in pocket
Imho, Olight makes nice flashlights, I don't understand why in the main land, people hates and dissed the brand . The only thing I find on google are hearsay.
I got the i3T EOS from Amazon-whoops! I have been hesitant to pull the trigger on any other Olights because of the proprietary charging system. I am leery of using websites of Chinese manufacturers due to security concerns. I always reasoned that savings on these websites might be offset by greater security risk. I had been looking at the Wuben X3 with the Aluminum Charging Box. I wonder if it would be interesting to do a video comparing the aforementioned with the Baton 3 Premium? Or even look around and do a video on all the small flashlights that have some sort of charging box. I don't think there are that many? Thank you for the video!
Great video thanks for all of your time making this and your imput. I'm new to olight and I'm looking to buy 1 I've just been admiring because I haven't seen 1 yet in person to see all the hype and they aren't the cheapest for me right now. I found out about 8 months ago I have stage 3 liver disease after going through testing from heart problems that started after the shot abd catching covid. No I have to pay 9 er visits in a 2 week period because I thought I was literally dieing. If you ever give away things you sample or review id be interested. Im going to sub just for this great video which i never do. Sending love from Upstate Ny
Please tell me , unless you want to use your torch (flashlight) as a weapon , what are the benefits of a handheld flashlight ,over a head torch /lamp , which leaves your hands free When out hiking, I sometimes felt I needed a third hand. Problem solved ,I bought a nitecore 68 .
Great video. You said there was a link to a full review for the warrior mini 3 but the linked one is just a brief overview amongst other products? Can you link the full review please?
I’ve got quite a number of Olights, but looks like I may need a new Seeker and an Ocllp. I am normally s Baton 3 and i3T guy. They are great to start others out with too.
How much is that baton 3 premium if or when it goes on sale?? I saw at the olight store that it cost 100$, dont mind paying full price but im also a patient person.
I'm torn between the Warrior Mini 3 and Baton 3 Pro Max since they are both the same price. Seems like the Baton is a bit better value since it's more powerful, though it does look a fair amount larger. What do you think?
I love olight and own over 10 myself and given more as gifts, but i hate the pocket clip. It snags constantly and makes no sense in most models it doesn't need the double-sided clip.
I carry my Warrior 3s almost every single day and absolutely love it! On the rare occasion I’m not carrying that, I’m carrying a Thrunite TN12 Pro. Both are phenomenal lights. Thinking a Perun 2 may be my next purchase.

Still not sure when I would carry this over a Warrior mini 3, could just up on the list after more use.
12. Baton 3 Pro: www.olightstore.com/s/K6FXJ0
outclassed by WM3 in versatility, outclassed by Baton 3 Pro MAX in capability
13. I5R: www.olightstore.com/s/R6S5FJ
Outclassed by its competition in other brands, proprietary 14500, and more expensive.
14. I Mini 2:www.olightstore.com/s/EKQLF8
Sadly this light is not waterproof which drastically drops it on the list. If it was IPX7 it would easily be top 10.
15. I3E: www.olightstore.com/s/7OPQ9X
Very simple light, great gift. HOWEVER, it misses out on mode options compared to other lights from different brands.
16. Seeker 4 Mini: www.olightstore.com/s/XH4SX6
This light is basically impossible to carry comfortably in the pocket with its formfactor. Otherwise it has a nice functionality.
17. I5T Plus : www.olightstore.com/s/SKXCYM
This is a great light for those with light sensitivity (ramps slowly), but other than that its outclassed in the marketplace.
17. Open Pro: www.olightstore.com/s/H21TBC
Very Nice, and sadly the battery has issues that cause it to drain more rapidly than it should over time.
19. I3T Plus: www.olightstore.com/s/F6EH57
This is just not a good flashlight...very little benefit over the I3T and it can only maintain its top output for 1min vs 5 from the standard 13T.

Thank you very much for your great overview
1. Warrior Mini 3: comination tail-switch & side-switch (best user interface, light weight, throw) 🙂
2. Warrior 3s: comination tail-switch & side-switch (best user interface, high output, throw) 🙂
3. Seeker 2 pro (Seeker 3 and 4 are a bit of a toy with the "turning" user interace, amd somehow less focused)
i just upgraded form the seeker 2 pro to the 4 pro and.... i have to admit the rotating dial absolutely makes it as you can set any brightness you want in seconds... going back to the 2 it just feels clunky now... the seeker 4 pro, baton 4 mini and Warrior x4 are my top picks... and the little clip light is amazing, got it free
I got the Perun Mini as a novelty for the collection... It turned out to be one of the best EDC lights I've ever had. I was NOT expecting that, and it was a close second to the Fenix LD15R.
I got the Mini 2 for the additional features that would have made it the equal of the Fenix, had they kept the stronger tail magnet and the grippy body... and then Fenix came out with the HM50R v2 with the best headband to date for this class of light.
I still carry the Olights every day, but I'll use a Fenix when I feel like something slightly fancier.
Man the holster that you keep in your truck is super cool! I didnt realize it can charge pretty much all of their flashlights too, glad you included that!
Sorry, that is not possible. The Seeker 4 Pro has 2 contacts for charging. The inner one is for the normal MCC and the outer one is for the holster. Except for the Seeker 4 Pro, you cannot load any Olight in the holster. They fit in but they don't charge.
I love the warrior nano because of the short length.
I use it for work a lot up in ceilings a an electrician. The short length lets it hang horizontally off any piece of metal without any fear of it flopping of.
You can hit it on accident and it won’t flop off a piece of strut, a stud, truck frame what have you. I carry it in the same pocket as my bench made and don’t notice it.
I'm so excited for this sale 🤩 I got my credit card ready! Can't wait to snag some of their new products. This is better than Christmas!
Baton 3 is my #1. The tiny size makes it easy to always have on me no matter what i am wearing and it has several lumen modes for every situation.
Does it have a good throw?
@@augustusgloop9330 The throw is good but it is more of a flood light. It is mighty for its size but it is still a small flashlight. If I was going camping or knew I was going to spend extended time in the dark I would grab a larger flashlight. It is amazing for an every day flashlight just incase I need it, always in my pocket and ready to go.
@@Shaggnanigans ok thanks for the reply, I’m trying to find a good light that’s got some decent throw for when I go out at night for walks. I’ll keep this one in mind
tell me which olight to get
Love the Warrior 3 hands down my favorite light. Can go very low lumens to super bright lumens. And it has tons of throw for the size.
Assume you mean Warrior 3 Mini. They also make the Warrior 3 S or Warrior X 3.
@@MPD90 tell me which olight to get
@@AriR6R Depends what you want to do with it. Personally I prefer the 21700 lights as the optimum performance/size combo and I think the Warrior 3S is possibly the best pocket friendly 21700 light they've made. A personal favourite. That said, if you're searching woods at night you may want something more throwy (Warrior X3) or on a campsite you may want something more floody (Seeker 4 Pro). But for an all rounder, Warrior 3S gets my vote.
@@MPD90 why do you like 21700 batteries
@@MPD90 you think the warrior 3s is better than the baton 3 pro max?
I'm not surprised by the Baton 3 being rated number 2, but I am surprised by the praise for the charging case. After buying two of them myself, I realized that even with some cables included, an equivalent mAh power bank is smaller, lighter, and more electrically efficient, plus it can charge anything.
Glad to see the Oclip make the top 5. I feel so bad for it since it's such a good light but hardly anyone talks about it and even during its debut it didn't get a sale. It is only IPX5 though, so don't kill your light by trying to submerge it.
100% agree. The Baton case seems like a gimmick and I'm surprised how many people rate it. As you say, a normal power pack works better, and if the user just wants lots of torch battery life then they'd be better off picking a bigger torch (instead of a mini torch with a chunky case that becomes... a big torch!).
Hear me out: Perun 2! You get a high output floody headlamp with a comfortable head strap. Take off head strap and use with a clip. Right angle is great for clipping on a pack, table standing, or more secure magnetic work light. Basically the same output and light pattern as the Seekers with more flexible usability.
The S2R Baton 2 (now the Baton 3 Pro) has been my main flashlight for years and I've been happy enough with it that I haven't upgraded. All my other flashlight purchases since then have been keychain lights or lanterns (and some of those are freebies from Olight -- love that about 'em). But I can tell how much thought you put into this and I must take notice that you think the Warrior Mini 3 beats the Baton 3 Pro. I'll go back and find your full review on that. Also interesting that you include the O-Clip. Thanks for all the work you put into this. It really can be confusing when trying to figure out what flashlight to get.
S2R Baton 2 for the win. Hands down. Form factor, size, everything else is just a reiterated version of it
@@rangerbravo I do think it's pretty much the perfect flashlight for home, EDC, and power outages.. And I don't need anything brighter. I never use turbo.
You are correct. My 1st Olight was the i3T. Slim fit in my Leatherman sheath with my Charge+. Soon after, bought the i5T. I switch them out. In my hip, I don’t feel them there.
you can carry the warrior nano tail up using the pocket clip adapter they sent out to everyone with the warrior mini 3. it's basically the same light.
Amazon Ships Faster (Most times you can get free delivery for 4am-8am next day).... Olight takes 3-7 days and sometimes 10 days. Just saying a possible reason for people to order from Amazon.
I just grabbed a Warrior 3S to keep on my nightstand. I like it because you can quickly access 2300 lumen turbo mode. Nice home defense if someone gets in the home and makes it to my bedroom, might he a nice way to distract an intruder while I grab my nightstand gun.
Your top 3 is on point! My first olight was the boosted i3t powered by a 10440, which I still carry as secondary. Pocket rocket!
But my overall top olight is definitely the warrior mini 3. A very hard to beat light. It literally has everything.
Btw this is the best edc channel! You're like the professor of the edc world. Thanks!🎉
tell me which olight to get
Warrior 3S for my bump in the night light. Arkfeld Pro for my EDC. Diffuser & Gober Kit for walking my dog at night.
Just got the Arkfeld pro as my first edc light, I love it
My parents sent me the baton 4 premium as an early Xmas gift. I was shocked how small it is ! Amazing output but the charger is going to make this a no brainer with it's ability to charge so many olight lights! Game changer
Love the content brotha. Gear reviews are my therapy 😂
I'm a creature of habit and still carry the S1 Baton mini 6 years after buying it. I have the Baton 3 as well, but the S1 just lives in my jeans pocket 24/7. Yes, I know it has a weird charging system compared to the other Olights out there (you have to take out the battery and charge it directly via mini usb port) but the torch itself is barely larger than the battery, and I love the small form factor.
Warrior Mini 3 is the best Olight to date, IMO.
tell me which olight to get
This was great! Thank you for this breakdown. I am just starting out new to Olight brand for EDC and received my first one today.
There’s been plenty of times that Amazon has a better price then buying directly from Olight
I've been using the Olight Diffuse with a suspension clip for a few weeks now and I've got to say that I'm loving it.
Being able to charge it via USB-C, or use a regular 14500 or AA makes it highly versatile.
Also, having the UI and functions of the "big boys" combined with the very nice lumen output (for its size) is a giant plus.
It's not the most beautiful flashlight out there, but it's growing on me. And the form factor does not make any difference at all when carrying it in pocket.
I was looking at the Baton 3 premium. The charging case seems to make it better. I totally agree on waiting for an O-light sale. It saves you money.
Now the Baton 4 premium is even better than the 3
@@frostriver4547 yeah, Baton 4 is nice. I think I’m going to pick one up.
I love the Warrior 2 Mini and the Warrior 3S and do actually prefer the larger one for daily pocket carry. I do recognize that most people are used to holding something smaller.
absolutly agree!! For me the 2 best Olight Flashligts.

@@romanhar4151 tell me which olight to get
I got the Arkfeld pro, Warrior 3 Mini, and Perun 2 headlamp for work in Aviation maintenance. Love all three of them but am most surprised by the Perun 2 mini, the light being at a 90 degree angle is so versatile and convenient, and it’s surprisingly bright. Ordering me a Baton 3 Pro for the house today.
Hmm the Amazon price is the same as the actual o light store. Not sure what he’s talking about.
Very good list! You showed me new stuff too which makes some lights even more interesting! The Baton 4 with its multicharging case is replacing the Baton 3 for me in terms of favorite. The case can recharge Baton 4, Baton 3 and Perun Mini and is super versatile with a charge level display - another winner for Olight. The OClip is super interesting however I have not seen it yet on sale at any of Olight sale events.
Great video as always. I've been trying to weigh different options for a car light and keep going back and forth between the Seeker 4 Pro and the Marauder Mini. Do you ever find yourself wanting/missing the long throw spotlight nature of something like the Maurader Mini or Javalot Mini while running your Seeker 4 Pro in the car?
not as much as I thought. I think there is also some justifcation for having more than one light to use. The marauder Mini isn't exactly something you can carry either.

@@AriR6R For EDC? Baton 3 Pro Max.
Hey y’all! FYI...picked up a leatherman skeletool and KBx knife at Costco for $65!
Lol I bought 5 when they went on sale at my Costco for $55. Made great Christmas gifts
I am totally blind. But I was looking for five flashlights, for my buddies who always help me whenever I need help. I was wanting something for them that has a magnet and a clip for around $15 or less because I am wanting to get five of them. So if you can make a suggestion and put it in the link or a link right here somewhere, it would really help me out a lot. Thank you very much.
magnet and a clip...this might be a bit of a struggle I know some with magnets and price (Imini2) but not clip. and I know ones that work very well (RovyVon A1 G4) but not in that budget range. The RovyVon is $26 which is as close as I can figure.
@@maxlvledcthanks for helping out the commenters
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but as an avid Olight fan, and in the market for a new work light, I found myself here. My two cents about the warrior mini 2 (which has been my EDC light for about two years now) is that it is a more friendly carry than the warrior mini 3 solely because you can mount the clip on the tail end to give the user a very deep tail up carry. The warrior mini 3 does not allow this (no groove to switch the orientation of the clip), and that is my only gripe with it. If they made a fourth generation of the warrior mini with the improved tail switch, more recessed and updated side switch, updated sensor, and a swappable clip, I'd be first in line to purchase it. I ended up picking up the warrior 3s for my work light because it comes with the nylon holster and I will be mounting it on a duty belt. Hopefully it works out well for me, but I will be trying to pocket carry it as a new EDC and use the warrior mini 2 in the holster. Nonetheless, I will remain a big fan of Olight's products and continue to buy from them.
Fantastic video!! I love all the models you chose, especially the Arkfeld. It's my favorite.
I thought it was funny, that you point out the keychain flashlight, is a good way to get started, if you are not sure if you want an EDC flashlight, and then end on don't buy it, becasue you can get it for free with another flashlight :)
I just bought my 2nd in 9 years. The Baton 3 Pro Max. Make sure that it is the 2,500 L`s-the 1,500 are a bit cheaper, 10.00. These have improved so much in the last 7 plus years. Go to RUclips and check out the models befor you decide. Best of luck, God bless. Ebay has some good prices.
I was waiting to see why there was a Leatherman Bit Kit in the opening shot. Nice roundup
I only have 4 but my order fits with yours, 1st place the perun 2 mini, 2nd the i5r, 3rd the i3e, and 4th the Diffuser.
The Diffuser is a great light but It isn't very comfortable in the hand and I find myself going for the i5r way more often, the i3e is a great little keychain light and it was free so cant beat that value, and the perun is awesome, it's the brightest of the bunch as well as being super handy to clip to a pocket or wherever and have light, can't really use any of the others hands free unless they're straped into the peruns headmount or in your mouth
I used to EDC the Warrior Mini, now it's Arkfeld Pro.
Baton 3 is my daily. Disappears in the pocket.
I have to go with the baton 3 premium, it is smaller than my thumb, and EDC’s perfectly, is not too heavy to wear on your hat. the charging case is perfect to keep it fully charged. I have a premium and also just the light, so I can continually switch lights in the case.
Great video, like the explanation of why you like each. Subscribed.
I had an S2A Baton, great output and runtimes. Now I switched to 21700 lights. The only Olight I would buy is the Arkfeld Pro, for the laser and UV. I'd also get that type c adapter/charger thingy.
In the UK some olight torches are cheaper on amazon than they are in the sale on the olight website. Always worth comparing prices between the two.
Nice an a Groove belt and Oclip light combo, that’s smart!
Are you for real are you actually saying that I can save money to buy something when it's on sale it absolutely blew my mind right now 😂 I just couldn't let it be ;) I love Olight but I would had loved a light with less lumens and much better run time without having to step up to a larger light and using it on a lower setting. Keep up the good content bud, Loads of love from Sweden❤
Ok, regarding your truck mount for the Seeker 4 Pro, does the horizontal piece that you have mounted to the console come with the light? Are you using the optional Seeker 4 Pro Horizontal Holster? How is it affixed to your console: screws or 2 sided tape?
comes with a mount with VHB tape, very strong. and yes, I bought the horizontal sheath seperately which actually was quite reasonably priced.
The finish wears off of all of my olights. Do they have a better finish on some?
@maxlvledc I think your almost spot on. I think with the baton 4 Premium out the 1 and 2 spot might need to be switched. The charging case can now charge the baton 3/4, S1R II, Perun Mini, and Perun 2 Mini. And to top it off it also a power bank that can charge your other gear via the usb-c port.
I was happy with my baton 3 pro but now I'm wanting the new arcfeld or upgrade to the baton 3 pro max .... The olight addiction is real
I have been lucky enough to receive most if not all of Olights flashlights and products and i have to say that the warrior 3 not the warrior 3s THE WARRIOR 3 is hands down my favorite and best light i own
I'm a huge fan of Olights, particularly the Baton 3/Pro/Max lights. I carry them all the time as my work EDC and can't say enough great things about them. But I was completely blown away by the Dream Blue/gold accents Warrior 3S. Definitely the best looking flashlight I've ever seen or owned. WOW what an incredible light.
Great video. New to the Olight lights, so this really helped.
I used to EDC the Warrior 3S but working in the scrap metal industry, that tail cap does not play nice with iron filings. The Baton 3 Pro Max was super exciting, but ultimately disappointing. Yes it’s bright but I would rather longer run times. As it is the Baton 3 Pro can go longer. The “shake to wake” also seems unnecessary.
I don't think the pro has more run time than the max in any mode..am I crazy?
@@maxlvledc Ok, max run time. Sorry. The other brightness settings do run longer but the moonlight mode is .5 lumen for 120 days on the pro vs 1 lumen for 60 days on the Pro Max.
I have an Olight model 92 SR. Was a great light and threw a spot beam 1700 yards! After a couple of years the battery needed replacement (the battery was built into the handle) and lo and behold no battery was available from the manufacturer, they had stopped making them. So I now have a $300 flashlight head with a case but no way to make it work! Too bad as I really liked that light…..cheers
Just bought the warrior mini 2. Cant wait to see how well itll work. I have that smaller one the i5r that i love but it gets hot and then flickers the light thatll drive you nuts
Very helpful list! Thanks
Bro i agree with the i3t being number one. Ive had so many and given a few away. My favorite i own is probably the brass one but i just got the i3t 2 dragon light and im liking it so far. I just got it so im looking forward to trying it out more. I dont have any of the newer lights really besides that so my number 2 for edc is the s2r2
I carry my i5r almost daily, I really like that if the rechargeable dies it’ll take a AA too.
Great video, that Seeker 4 has my attention!

Well done, just what I’m into. Sale purchases in the male👍.
Too many good flashlights here and that sale will definitely be worth it 5 times over. Especially with the bundles that they always have.
I'm hoping they have a cool special edition oclip for Christmas.
I would add a I3e eos. I have one on every keychain. AAA batteries available everywhere . Love all the olights. But I started only buying flashlights with replaceable batteries . I expect more than 5 years from my tools, and internal batteries always fall short. I use only enloop rechargeable batteries after having Duracell batteries leak and damage other flashlights. Never use alkalines. Favorites are Warrior 2 mini, Baton 3, and Perun 2. O K
What do you think of the baton 4 premium? 20:29
I see you rockin the Casio lineage titanium! I’ve been thinking about picking one up, hopefully on a Black Friday sale. What are your thoughts on it? Mainly cons?
only one con, 2 micro adjustments...other than that...basically perfection.
@@maxlvledc good deal! I’ll have to pull the trigger and check one out. Thanks man 🤙🏼
I have had the Baton 3 premium I’m anodized red for years and my main dislike is the magnetic charging on the tail end. I get that it makes charging a breeze and also adds some dual functionality to the light when you want to stick it to a metal surface but even in my pocket it picks up metal shavings. I work as a welder so the weld dust is in the air so this a a major annoyance. I’m thinking of upgrading to the Warrior X 4 to solve this very problem.
I daily carry a baton 3 ( with a small diffuser) , perun 2 mini and a sofirn if19 as they can all use the same olight battery type. I have ordered the warrior nano so I’ll have to see how that fits in with my daily carry system.
First off I want to say I had to miss the last q&a stream because I had family in the hospital and I had to be there and I hope you will do those 1 per month because they seem good. Also, I wonder if you would consider a "get to know you" type of deal where you could talk more about yourself how you got into edc stuff and where you came from and why you decided to do youtube videos that sort of thing.
Also at first I didn't really like the magnetic chargers for olights but I've watched a lot of videos and I see now that besides the size reduction and ease of waterproofing you also get a magnetic tail cap which is really nice to have imo.
Also, and I don't think a lot of people new to olight know this because I sure didnt, they make a bar that has multiple spots for mag charging so if you go all in on olight you can have a charging hub for them all.
I still have type c battery flashlights scattered through my house. Which is nice for the ease of replacement. However, every time I go to use one it has set for so long that the batteries have discharged and have almost no output. These newer batteries are great at holding a charge and, in my observations, are much more reliable.
Sorry to hear that, hope they get better 🙏
Another great review 👍
Nice video, i always carry my arkfeld uv with me, btw what is the name of that belt? looks nice
It's groove life belt
I use the Seeker range the most. Seeker 2 Pro, Seeker 4 Pro and the Seeker 4 mini are my users.
I’d like to get a Seeker 4 for the throw. Not keen on the plug in charging though.
If only the Ir2pro and i3t could have a baby. Love my arkfeld as well.
Love the seeker 4, and disagree with the baton 3 pro, love the size and the extended output. May not beat the baton 3 pro max but it’s considerably smaller, perfect fit in pocket

Imho, Olight makes nice flashlights, I don't understand why in the main land, people hates and dissed the brand . The only thing I find on google are hearsay.
Proprietary charging. Nuff said
I got the i3T EOS from Amazon-whoops! I have been hesitant to pull the trigger on any other Olights because of the proprietary charging system. I am leery of using websites of Chinese manufacturers due to security concerns. I always reasoned that savings on these websites might be offset by greater security risk. I had been looking at the Wuben X3 with the Aluminum Charging Box. I wonder if it would be interesting to do a video comparing the aforementioned with the Baton 3 Premium? Or even look around and do a video on all the small flashlights that have some sort of charging box. I don't think there are that many? Thank you for the video!
Great video thanks for all of your time making this and your imput. I'm new to olight and I'm looking to buy 1 I've just been admiring because I haven't seen 1 yet in person to see all the hype and they aren't the cheapest for me right now. I found out about 8 months ago I have stage 3 liver disease after going through testing from heart problems that started after the shot abd catching covid. No I have to pay 9 er visits in a 2 week period because I thought I was literally dieing. If you ever give away things you sample or review id be interested.

Please tell me , unless you want to use your torch (flashlight) as a weapon , what are the benefits of a handheld flashlight ,over a head torch /lamp , which leaves your hands free
When out hiking, I sometimes felt I needed a third hand.

My vote is for the baton 4 premium edition
I went with the baton 3 premium, just because the price was about 2/3 of the four
So which Olight would be best for keychain use that also has the magnetic charging?

I saw at the olight store that it cost 100$, dont mind paying full price but im also a patient person.

I'm torn between the Warrior Mini 3 and Baton 3 Pro Max since they are both the same price. Seems like the Baton is a bit better value since it's more powerful, though it does look a fair amount larger. What do you think?
