Thanks for the heads up!
I’ve got the S Mini Ti and it’s one of the few light that gets swapped out for my SC62d.
Put a 5000k and some glow tape in it, it’s perfect for an evening light.
I love the 3 minute timer, wish it was a bit longer.
I don’t need a copper version, but it’s a solid little light.
Either for lighting or as a timer.
Our bathroom is off our bedroom so when my wife gets up to use the restroom I turn on a low light. We’ve found it’s easier to go back to sleep if you can avoid turning on the bathroom light. With the timer feature I can tail stand the light on my dresser and go back to sleep.
My job involves grinding and I have to fill large coolant tanks. It’s easy to get distracted and forget that the water is on. When the light goes out it is a nice indicator that 1 or 3 minutes have passed. With other lights I’ll use a beacon to remind me.
It’s such a tiny light, always freaks people out when they see the output.

I have a Copper S Mini and really like it. though I hate CW, I improved the tint with a 1/2 minus green filter, but it is still not High CRI
I added a USB rechargeable 16340, highly recommended (sold by 0Light, Fenix and Klarus)
OOPS, looks like a typo on my part, it is the S Mini on sale, not the S1 Mini. and the price is 40% off what is on the web page normal price.
I love my copper Maratac AA, but I rarely carry it since I got my S1R. It’s good to know the S Mini copper will tarnish, as I do like that in copper.
I find the mode spacing, easy of carry, and ability to get 300 or more lumens very attractive in the S1R. I also like the magnet, which the S Mini does not have. But I may get the copper S Mini anyway. As much as I like warmer tints, the tint of my S1R is not terrible, in fact unless I compare it directly to my Maratac or Manker Boney nichia I don’t mind it at all.
You can also program for 9 minutes, at least you can with the S1R, but maybe that is too long?
I bet you saw my modded S-mini now with 219C 3000K 90+ CRI :-p
The S1 mini HCRI is worth buying to salvage the optic and put a Nichia under it (or really, just swap the XP-G3 for a Nichia if you succeed in not killing the driver while disassembling…)
