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

I wanted an edc light, but I didn't want to have to replace the batteries constantly. I saw this and did some research and decided I had wasted more money on other items, so worst case I was out a few bucks, theses days, not even a tank of gas... I have had this thing about a month now, and I am impressed. It is tiny and lightweight. Sometimes I forget it is in my pocket, having to check through the laundry basket to see which pair of pants I left it in. It lights up BRIGHT on the highest setting and also gets hot really quickly when on that setting. Throw a pretty far reaching beam of light as well. The three settings that are "normal" are usually good enough. The highest setting is normally used to annoy my wife. The super low setting works great as well, throwing enough light to see by if I decide I need to find something in the middle of the night without waking everyone in the house up. The strobe function works well too, but again, so far I have only used it to annoy my wife. The magnet is strong and I have used it several times at home and at work to provide hands free lighting to a darker work area. I also hung it from a light fixture in the kitchen during a storm where we lost power and on the medium setting it lit the whole room. I ran it dead during that same storm, roughly three hours of constant on. I grabbed a power bank and plugged the lights magnetic charger into it and the light was back to full charge surprisingly fast. I dig the clip for securing in my pocket and also clipped it to the brim of my cap, although I am not sure I like it for that use as it does not allow for discrete aiming like a head lamp does. It's a good lamp, pretty expensive, but you don't have the added expense of purchasing batteries.

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.

I’m not a flashlight collector and only own flashlights that I intend to use. Other than cheap flashlights that I’ve been given I only own one other high quality flashlight that I bought for home use. It’s a Streamlight casting a 3,000 lumen beam. It’s great for household use but is too large to carry for any length of time without a holster. I use it in or out of the house and it has an enormous amount of light - too much light to direct toward neighbors’ homes. I bought the Baton 3 for a pocket light so I had something to carry in my pocket on predawn walks. I already wear a headlamp to illuminate my walking path but wanted a handheld to illuminate animals or people I might unexpectedly encounter at 5:00 AM (it happens). I was not expecting the carry light to be a possible defensive weapon and it is not. The Baton 3 is a larger in diameter but shorter than the lip balm I carry in my jeans’ pocket. It is really small. The operating button is also small but is large enough to locate without looking at and the functions work well, are easy to use, intuitive, and convenient. The light creates a fantastic, nicely spread beam and the throw is as advertised. I haven’t had it long enough to comment on battery life or usage time with a full charge. The light is not intended to have a standard, off the shelf, replacement battery so if you want a backup battery you should order one. The unique battery design and shape provides a lot of storage in a small space. I knew the replacement or additional battery could only come from Olight when I ordered it but wanted the size, power and (claimed) battery life. I don’t have backup batteries for other long-life rechargeable items and if I need a replacement I’l order one. The included charger is also well made and it is not an issue (to me) that the light does not accept other chargers. To me, not having a port for the charger penetrating the exterior of the flashlight body is a plus (charger is magnetic and firmly attaches to the end of the flashlight body). I have a strong bias in favor of high quality and will pay more for something well made rather than fuss with something cheap (inexpensive and well made is a plus but I’ll go with quality over price anytime if quality is better). The Baton 3 is very well made, high quality, works as stated, and is SMALL. I recommend the flashlight if you want an occasional use, bright, powerful, pocket carry flashlight. It’s too cold and icy to walk today but I’m looking forward to using the light on my regular walk. I’m impressed and will probably buy a couple more for vehicles.

Small and fits comfortably in your hand. It shines as expected.

La lámpara es pequeña y muy potente, realmente es como un dedo pulgar. Estoy realmente impresionado. Recomiendo la compra ampliamente, además en Amazon internacional la encontré a menor precio. Cualquier duda les recomiendo ver videos de reseña de ésta lámpara en you tube, no exageraron ni mintieron.

Pedí esta lámpara con la idea de que su calidad de iluminación iba a ser buena, cuando me llegó la revisé y no alumbró, la puse a cargar y realice una prueba nuevamente y siguió sin dar buen intensidad ni buena calidad de luz, no tiene una relación del precio vs producto.
