Olight S1R Baton Rechargable Flashlight
When I was first asked to review S1R Baton flashlight from Olight by my friends from 365 Plus, I
immediately said »Yes, I'll do it«. Then, I asked myself, how am I going to do this? First, I looked it
up on the internet, to see, what I'm dealing with.
I became familiar with Olight from very positive reviews of their more mainstream tactical
flaslights, some of them getting shot and still performing flawlesly. Yeah yeah, it was onlybuckshot;
but, Will it blend? Most likely not.
Anyway, the reviews were good and a good year later I received as a gift Olight H15 headlamp,
which I still use and love. That one convinced me of Olight quality, since before that I used several
headlamps, that literally faded away after I tried H15.
I started thinking about what to write. Off course, technical details about it seem in order, but they
can be looked up online by all you number crunchers. Let's say Olight managed to make a flaslight,
that's really small, in a pocket form factor, that is tough and can cover its' user in a variety of
different situations.
Ok, a short overview. Don't want to let the comparers down.

- Page 3 Illustration 2: Package is tightly packed and you have to be crafty to put it back in nicely. But, once you open it and fire S1R up, I doubt you'll go that way.
- Page 4 Illustration 3: Contents of the retail package are plentiful and the suede pouch is a nice touch. But storing the flashlight in there puts it one step farther from being really useful. I've charged/loaded them all up and started to look for a good opportunity to test them. It presented itself quite soon, visiting my mother-in-law.
- Page 5 Illustration 4: One of the competitors Ultrafire MXDL, the closest one in form. This one has no power switch and modes. Just twist it on and off.
- Page 6 Illustration 5: Pocketman, that wasn't. This picture does no justice to it's size. Supersized pockets time. First days, then weeks went on and as my inner voice started to remind me, to write something, I noticed something; S1R became my companion. I am a user of several storage locations in our building, as well as a garage nearby, used to stash away all the stuff, needed for active life of reenactor, home improvement enthusiast, airsofter, sport shooter, motorcycle rider...
- Page 7 dark times. I've been using it on level 2, that is strong enough for making rooms bright and at the same time, I charge it once every two weeks, give or take a day. Charging is really painless, the magnetic connector is effortless to attach and it jumps into place as soon as it's put next to the back of the flashlight.
- Page 8 Illustration 6: Ultrafire MXDL; hot and light center, but not enough dispersion to light the wall properly for a nice picture.
- Page 9 Illustration 7: Pocketman, light circle, very pleasant to watch, but useful for a horror movie, since light is almost absent outside of the lens.
- Page 10 Illustration 8: Lowest power setting on S1R, with output of 0,5 lumens. The S1R can work 15 days on single charge with this setting.
- Page 11 Illustration 9: Medium setting. I use this one the most, since it's well suited for low and medium range use.
- Page 12 Illustration 10: High power setting. With this, we're talking medium to high range.
- Page 13 Illustration 11: Turbo mode. S1R has a 30 sec timer for this one, to prevent too much battery drain and overheating. For that period, you get a whopping 900 lumen output, 1800x stronger than the weakest one. This pic is merely a representation, since it looks similar to high power, but when you go above 100m range, differertrnce more than obvious.
