Sorry guys, I screwed up the GPics links…
Is it better now ?
What leads me to Olight in the first time was their simplicity and minimalism, and I feel recently that they are trying to give their lines a new breath…
They have to be innovative, and sometimes innovation is not what customers want…
I kind of liked the M2R, for its unique 2 stages tail switch with included magnetic charging. The M2T only kept the 2 stages button but it’s kind of mushy… The feedback is not really precise.
I loved the X7R, a real lumen monster with USB-C charging port, proximity sensor and shake sensor to indicate battery level when you grab it.
The S1 mini was kind of a disappointment, for its lack of modability and the not-so-perfect beam (slight artifacts). The 16340 with micro-USB port was really cool though.
That M1T is simplistic, but IMHO it serves a purpose : backup light. I like that Olight sometimes make some choices, and don’t try to implement all their cool features in all their models…
The X9R is kind of late in the lumen monster race though
okay, another question does the light suddenly die without warning when the battery gets low? both my s1 baton and smini does that i kinda hate that puff and it goes dead…
Okay, so I tried it twice.
First time,with an Olight 16340 protected. The protection kicked in after an hour on high and the light shut off obviously.
The second time I used a CR123A primary cell, on high mode. After about 2 hours, the light went down on low mode. I then shut it OFF but couldn’t light it ON again.
I’ll try with an unprotected 16340 but I think it will discharge it quite low
