This is an amazing flashlight, it's so small yet so powerful and the battery really lasts and lasts. Got mine on a flash sale for 50 bucks. I'm thinking about buying the charging case :) I've tried a lot of little flashlights for edc- coast, surefire, Maglite, lenser etc. But this is my favorite for size and output power.
I picked up the red one at a outdoors show yesterday. It's an incredible light. I've been getting lights from olight for going on 8 years or more. I have a SR-95 and that's a good one too.
I love mine, as well. My only gripe is that the recharging case is slippery with dry (normal) hands. I put non-abrasive grip tape on mine. To me, the most important brightness setting is the .5 lumen as it can light an entire trail path in total darkness for 20 days on a single charge. If it's your only light, that feature is immeasurable. The higher lumens take a back seat in a true survival situation.
We got two with your discount. They arrived yesterday in red and black. Amazing. The Baton 3 is much smaller in person. I think the camera added 10 pounds.
Bought the baton 3 black without the case, traded for a blue premium and then bought the premium Orange.So now I own 3 of them .Brass ^Copper i3T-E0S are the best lights imo.Great Video thanks bud.
I like everything about this flashlight including being able to clip it to a ball cap .. i have the olight arkfeld ..love it .. has a nice pocket clip but the clip only goes 1 way the clip on the baton 3 allows me to clip it to face outwards . Very powerful flashlight ! You can feel the quality too..very well made . Im very impressed with it .
The button 3 might be my favourite product. I’m a tech junkie with an eye for gadgets but nothing is as practice, portable and versatile as a long life, virtually indestructible and powerful flashlight with a magnetic end, pocket clip and charging case. It’s an amazing product
I love my Baton II and thought that was as good as it got. Great additions on the 3. Can't wait to get it in the mail. Just got a 5.11 Rush 12 multicam backpack that is amazing. Great video. Subscribed.
I wish all my favorite RUclipsrs would deliver their sales pitches the way you do. Instead of being like hey hurry up and buy this product so I can make lots of money, your commercial seems to have more effort and honesty put into it than most others do! I can really see the points your making and I can believe you actually use and believe in this product and I do wish I could afford one of those little ones to clip on my cap bill and the magnetic lantern too. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one if they're still making them at that time?
I have owned several olights, they are ok. You should buy a few extra batteries and a few extra pocket clips when you buy one. They come up with new models so fast, they sometimes do not have replacement items even a year later. Another note, If you want to run it on High, you will have to change the battery out after about a year. It just will not stay up on high for more than a few seconds. I have used one of these at work for everyday for 4 years or so. When you change out the battery with a new one, do not just charge it till it is green. Leave it on all night.
You sold me brother! The last thing I need is ANOTHER light, been looking at this and previously thought I’d take a pass… just bought one! 🤣. Thanks for the great review! 👊
I put away my S2R Baton II a couple years ago, and can't find it now. Just yesterday I lost my S1R Baton II. I'm sick over it, and need something larger. I do love it for a hat light, which is how I mostly used it.
So far I am liking my Baton 3 Premium, but have a question. Have you our any of your followers had an issue with the " Mode Memory" not working great? I have turned the light off several times in "Low" mode, and had it turn back on in "Medium" or "High" mode. Thanks and keep up the great reviews!!
Wassup Charlie! Tom Foil up here in Laconia. I got that black Baton 3 during the flash sale. Love that thing! Considering getting the orange one during tonight's flash sale.
i own a few flashlights, from Nitecore Tini to AcebeamK75. i ordered the red one for the looks. i also own red Samsung Buds with a red case. i dont intend to use this as edc but to make it my back-up. for me a better choise as an edc is a headlamp.
As i commented on another B3 video....I have an old 2014 S10....runs on a Cr123...why I still use it. as a "back-up" light. Don't know why I boubht it in the first place being so tiny. I think it was the novelty of having a magnetic base...back in 2014 is was like wow--a ligh you can stick to a metal surfac...I'm not a "flashlight enthusiast". Just happened to hear about the Baton and a few others back in 2014. Today, I'm not sure I'd buy the B3. Do't see a need over a EDC light of at least 4"....something with more power or "reach" like a thower. Can you run the B3 with a CR123 non-rechargaable?
I am in the UK and OlightUK ran a mothers day give away. And I was lucky enough too win one of the new Baton 3 with the charging case as well in red. I only just brought myself an Olight which was a Baton in black. I am a volunteer 1st Responder for the ambulance service, and the Baton light I was going to use as a dog walking light, on them really early mornings or late night walks. I am thinking of getting a Seeker 2 Pro for my ambulance service work, special when trying to find the right cottage late at night when you can't see the house number. Cleary and a torch that is 3200 lumens will definitely help alot, and every second counts if it's a Cardiac Arrest that's for sure. Need to save some cash 1st as your prices are cheaper over in the USA compared to us here in the UK, which is not right I don't think. So In the USA its $99 which is I think around £75. But in the UK it comes in at £99 that's with free p&p so that is $135. So I would really like too know why we have too pay more? Come on Olight give us Brits a break and don't charge us so much.
I have a baton one with the lithium camera battery and a baton 2 with the 900 turbo mode looking forward to purchasing a baton 3 with the battery charging case at the flashlight charges in one hour in the battery case this is fantastic going on a trip just bring the charge case with you and you get nearly four charges out of the battery in the case
Can it use cr123a on high mode? The s1R2 doesn't work on high with cr123a. This kills it for me as far as having disposable batteries as back ups when the power is out or for camping when there may not be any power source
Been running Olight Baton II for couple years now. Buy extra clips they destroy easily. So light weight, battery life A+, and light settings from 3' away stealth, to 100 yards plus in the back field. The i3t Eos I have... meh. Just when would one need the extra weight, more pollution, more space taking charger ? The on/off button tells you when charge is dropping green-yellow-red.
My wife bought me an Olight Baton 3 premium, blue, last May. Its an incredible light, with me every day along with my Warrior mini 2. BTW , was that a Benchmade Adamas? Great knife. Your property looks like my native Minnesota. Good video, thanks
Great video brotha 🤙🏽 I just received my bundle from the flash sale I got the Baton 3 Premium Edition the charging case the Brass i3t and the i3e and LOVE it!!! The charging case is a game changer!!!
My SR2 went dead after a year. I fully charge it, but the button won’t turn it on anymore. Not sure if the button is completely dead, or if the light fried itself out. Either way, very disappointing. There are videos of the same thing happening to others, so it’s not an isolated incident. Really want to buy another one, but am afraid of this happening again.
Great review, and fantastic torches. I have the baton 3 and love it. What sort of coating to olight use on their buttons, as it seems to peel off after some use. I’m guessing it’s a very fine silicone with hard plastic underneath?
So what about the "greenish" tint to the light I've heard so auch about. I own about 20 various other Olights, but no Baton. I was going to pick one up on this 15th anniversary sale. But I am very apprehensive because of the greenish colored light I've heard about. I hate cheap LEDs that run a very cool White, and you see all the bluish color. And I don't think I would like seeing Green in the light any better. Your feedback would be appreciated. Great video by the way. 😎👍
Would love some opinions on the stream light wedge! Little bit of a chunky girl and probably too bright for EDC but it's one hell of a light for keeping in your backpack or vehicle
10 years ago peeps were fine with their 50 lumen lights but now this one would be useful for search/rescue or if you get stuck on the side of the road and you want people to notice you in that sea of lights
Yes, you can put 10440's in the i3T's and yes they certainly make the light brighter. I think it voids the warranty though, but big deal. The additional performance is worth it.
Didn't know about the run time I use two Baton 2s at work for headlamps all day everyday while my Red Baton 3 sit on a shelf looking pretty, soon as I get over the cost of my Marader 2 I'm gonna have to pick up a Batton 3 Black
You always give a brilliant review of things Charlie and though I found the ads intrusive I watch them as I know they help your channel. Terry and Steve especially use flashlights so I shall see if I can afford one. Take care and stay safe please my friend Mary-Ellen UK LFOD
Well damn… I found this video hoping to learn to use the light’s modes. I’ve had my Baton 3 for a week and have only turned it on a few times for maybe a total of one minute. I was keeping it in its charging case until 2 days ago when I stuck it to a metal part of my desk. I just now grabbed it to play with the modes and it’s dead… Maybe one minute of use and two days of standby and the battery is depleted? Does having it stuck to a metal surface deplete the battery, or did I get a dud?
Just minor betterment... Well, they stopped the lightest version they had and stopped the yellow model as well, which was much better then the cold white. But... all gone. I have the S1 Mini Baton HCRI under 20 grams without battery. If it had the yellow light it would have been perfect. So not really impressed by the little extra time you get, while they forget the most important things. Hmm that lamp, might be interesting if you can charge it with usb.
does the body of the light get scratched from going in and out of the charging case? does it have like any foam lining or anytjing to protect against that?
I got all 3 colors in the matching charging cases, the purple gradient perun2, a brass i3T & 2 of the orange🍊O-bulbs! EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Buying all that earned me a free Seeker 2!!
Great flashlight! Love the case and the portability. I tried to use your discount code but, b/c I’m in Canada, it doesn’t work b/c Olight doesn’t ship to Canada ... oh well 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for sharing.
I got mine a few months ago, always in my pocket, so i was wondering how do you get rid of those scratches on the light screen (dont know what its called) since its always in my pocket
Have two on order but was funny having a advert for a rival company 🤣. Anyone who claims the price to high and not US made. Or you can get better in a dollar store. Obviously have never used.
If I understand correctly, you're looking for a flashlight that is basically a solid flood light with little or no hot spot. The i5r is decent flood light in a small package, but if you're looking for a more powerful flood light without much or any of a hot spot, then check out the Olight Baton 3 max. It's basically a solid flood light with little or no hot spot.
Olights are pretty - until you turn them on. Want a pretty light on or off? Noctigon Emisar D4v2 ti Nichia e21a 4500K. It doesn't get better than this.
This is an amazing flashlight, it's so small yet so powerful and the battery really lasts and lasts. Got mine on a flash sale for 50 bucks.
I'm thinking about buying the charging case :)
I've tried a lot of little flashlights for edc- coast, surefire, Maglite, lenser etc. But this is my favorite for size and output power.
Well, I didn't realize they doubled the run time! I thought it was just an extra 200 lumens. I didn't think it was worth it. Getting one now.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us 👍🇬🇧
I picked up the red one at a outdoors show yesterday. It's an incredible light. I've been getting lights from olight for going on 8 years or more. I have a SR-95 and that's a good one too.

I love mine, as well. My only gripe is that the recharging case is slippery with dry (normal) hands. I put non-abrasive grip tape on mine. To me, the most important brightness setting is the .5 lumen as it can light an entire trail path in total darkness for 20 days on a single charge. If it's your only light, that feature is immeasurable. The higher lumens take a back seat in a true survival situation.
And you carry just another battery and you have so much more time for that little battery, win win engineering
We got two with your discount. They arrived yesterday in red and black. Amazing. The Baton 3 is much smaller in person. I think the camera added 10 pounds.

Nice. My cheapo China knock off just bit the dust. I got the red Baton 3, and I got a free mini just for signing up. Happy!!!

That's some serious wattage in the cottage. Olight is on their game!
No doubt about that TB

Those are really high quality lights! Thanks Charley
Where can I find that kydex belt sheath you have? Thanks!

No
which power level were you using at 4:00? Trying to get a better idea of the different lumen levels. Thanks!
Can’t wait to get mine and I got the perun2 in that crazy purple/blue color
I got all 3 colors in the matching charging cases, the purple gradient perun2, a brass i3T & 2 of the orange🍊O-bulbs!

How did you get a kydex holster for that?!
is the charging case hinge flimsy?
Great Review I ordered the Blue one
Why did they do away with the white one?
What's the lifespan of that battery?

I got mine a few months ago, always in my pocket, so i was wondering how do you get rid of those scratches on the light screen (dont know what its called) since its always in my pocket
Just got the Baton 3. It is a great little light.
Do you know if the new premium charging case will also fit and charge the original S1R Turbo-S?
I don't know and wish I could tell you
For me also it's great for EDC👌😜
Have two on order but was funny having a advert for a rival company 🤣. Anyone who claims the price to high and not US made. Or you can get better in a dollar store. Obviously have never used.
Very cool, clever, but but but perhaps just buy a bigger torch?
Hey I'm wondering can you buy the case by itself?
Yup
But... it is thursday...
It depends on where you are in the world right now Tom......either way enjoy my friend.
Can anyone confirm if the perun mini can charge in the baton 3 charging case?
I want the red one honestly black flashlights just don't appeal to me
Awesome vid!!
Very stimulating 😁🤘🏻
Awesome bit of kit that, have to see if available in the UK
That is a really cool setup!
Wish it had a tailcap switch.
Can I clip this to my back cap?
I ordered mine the day of the sale just waiting for the mailman. Can you run the 1200 lumens for 75 mins? Or is 1.5 mins the max it runs in high?
I recommend that song "ooh Mr.postman" 🤗 oldies
Awesome review
Just got the baton 3 its OK ' nothing to brag on for real '
that look like a winner
I got the white one. Cool isn’t it 👍
I've got one an love it
Nice light. The Tup light by nitecore can’t be beat tho…
I am looking for a flash light that lights up every thing I don't want a hot spot or any crazy distance lighting let me know for any suggestions
If I understand correctly, you're looking for a flashlight that is basically a solid flood light with little or no hot spot. The i5r is decent flood light in a small package, but if you're looking for a more powerful flood light without much or any of a hot spot, then check out the Olight Baton 3 max. It's basically a solid flood light with little or no hot spot.
They literally invented a zippo charger...
Cool
My issue with proprietary built in batteries is that when they die you basically throw away the light.
Why? It has a proprietary charger the battery can be replaced anytime
Olights are pretty - until you turn them on. Want a pretty light on or off? Noctigon Emisar D4v2 ti Nichia e21a 4500K. It doesn't get better than this.
I know. It's Wednesday
Thanks for the discount code I just order $409.31 from Olight, after code $395.32
I got some good stuff with the sale they were having.
