    Go back and read the insert for the mini 3 it has a proximity sensor but only works if the light turns on close to something but not if the light is turned on and then moved close to something.

    From my understanding the Mini 3 does have a proximity sensor..but it just prevents turbo mode when something is already close. Nice review, looking forward to seeing who winners will be

    Thank you for making this a *very* easy choice for me. Mini 2 all the way. One reason, in a Need-it-now! scenario, the Mini 2 is going to be easier to grab out of a pocket using gross motor movements because the clip sits just a bit lower on the body than the Mini 3. Not to a ridiculous degree (like on the 5.11 response XR1). Just low enough to be useful, especially with a CCW S.D. "tool" in the other hand.
    Granted, plenty of folks prefer a bezel that sticks up less out of the pocket in a head-up carried EDC light. So they'll prefer the Mini 3. But just makes it less gross motor movement friendly. I already have a Klaus head-up EDC light with a clip positioned right where the Olight Mini 3's clip is positioned. End up having to use a two-finger pinch grip to get it out. Not ideal. Easier to drop the light. If I'm using a pinch grip, might as well just go for any number of more common EDC tube lights out there with a bezel-down carry clip. Might be a small thing, but the Mini 3's clip placement is a deal-breaker for me. I'd get the Mini 2 and a black Olight replacement clip for it.

      It now ships with an attachment that allows for bezel down carry. Although im not sure why so many want to carry bezel down? Items in your pocket scratch up your lens when you carry bezel down.

      @@haneko6422 I’ve carried the same WM2 since it came out and I’ve never scratched the lens. I generally don’t carry anything else in my front left pocket unless it’s a slim leather wallet in the few situations I might need cash. I think most people that carry a light have a dedicated pocket for it.

    I’ll just stick with my mini 2 for now. No complaints with it and I prefer the warmer tone. They did away with the proximity sensor (unless turned on close to something) because rain or snow could enable it when you didn’t want it to on the mini 2.

    The 3 does have a sensor but only works for the first half a second or so if the sensor is blocked to stop pocket burn.

    The warrior mini 3 has a proximity sensor. Olight had gotten complaints about the warrior mini 2 diming when using in foggy or snowy conditions. So to keep the intended use of sensor for safty to prevent burns or fire yet make it so fog or snow does not activate it they made it so the sensor is only active for when the light first turns on. The sensor is then deactivated as to not cuase unintentional dimming.
