in theory, I agree, in real world use, I dont notice… Im suprised to admit that, but there it is.
what I like least about the Utorch is that it does not memorize moonlight, which the Olight does.
If I use moonlight on the Utorch and then turn it off, the next single click to on gives Medium! I Hate that! But I can work around it by using the moonlight shortcut, a long press.
Another thing I dislike about the Utorch UI is how slow it is to ramp down from Max to low… same issue with turning it off, there is a bothersome delay before the light goes dark.
I must admit I thought you were way wrong to say NW shows colors well… you were right, it works well enough for most uses
Im a snob when it comes to photos and colors, but, Im learning that my brain is much more tolerant (unaware) than my camera.
Thanks for challenging me to expand my horizons.
other Utorch Trivia, the Manual looks almost identical to the Klarus Mi1c, and seem to have similar UI.
and some lumen specs and measurements comparisons between the Utorch S1 Mini and Olight S1 Mini
I prefer the lumen levels of the Utorch Low and Medium. On the Olight, Low and Medium are too similar, I would prefer Olight Medium to be higher.
Another difference regarding lockout
The Utorch on lockout will shine momentary Low mode when switch is held down
the Olight on lockout will shine momentary Moon mode when the switch is held down
I dont like a lockout that does not make the switch stop working altogether. It is easier to just loosen the tailcap.
regarding Memory:
The Olight remembers its last used mode including moon, except Turbo. The Utorch will not memorize moon, it does memorize Turbo. If I turn off the Utorch on Moonlight, the next time I turn it on it comes on in Medium!(nasty suprise)
