[Review] OLIGHT S1 Baton Ti (XM-L2 NW, 1x CR123A / RCR / 16340)

Thanks for pointing out… didn’t have a regular alu S1… yet…

The new batch of regular alu S1 and the Ti and Cu S1 should have the new UI without moonlight memory as told by the Olight reps, so your description on the UI is still valid

Thank you for reading. As for the close up pictures, I have finally decided to get myslef some help with a macro ring flash (of course, el cheapo). This provide a very helpful hand when focusing macro shots with cheap equpiment, which in my case basically consists in a EF 50mm f-1.8 fixed lenses and a set of macro extensor tubes. :smiley:

Where did you get the NW version? On BangGood and other sites, I only see the CW version.

Got mine from Banggood. The link is in the review header. :wink:

It says CW in that BangGood link though.

BG, as most of the famous giant sellers from CN, have wrong specs in their product page.
Olight website shows this:

Oh, very interesting that the Alu and Cu versions have CW while the Ti versions have NW.

Yes, I was hoping the CU version will come in NW too…
shame on you Olight!

great pictures!

Thanks!

Damn, I wish they had options for NW on the Cu and Alu. I wonder if BG will restock the bead-blast Ti.

Good work M4D M4X! I'm not a fan of white wall shots because the tints always get messed up, mostly by the camera and also by the computer screen, but these tints look pretty real on screen.

I agree. If one pays more for the Cu version, it would be appropriate to offer the NW version, as in the Ti.

+1

I switched to AWB long ago because wallshots for tint comparison are not very useful.

I have been looking into a feauture / procedure to analize tint in my reviews, but haven’t yet decided a useful way to implement it to my standard testings.

If anyone knows a trustable method to analize tints, I’ll gladly consider it.

Thanks!

The upcoming Brass version will have the same price as the Cu version, but they will only be sold exclusively by GoingGear, will also come in NW version

So how long before S1 aluminum version has NW tint do ya think Olight knows NW is a big hit and highly desirable. Olight also knows they make more $ if to get NW you have to spring for a fancy metal finish.......

Very nice review and very nice pictures! :slight_smile:

M4D M4X Thanks for the tint pics. After seeing the BLUE LAGOON S1's tint I am SeaSick. No way I want that tint. :Sp So no S1 in my future til S1 aluminum version gets NW.
