I’m also fan of M2R and Pro and also Seeker2 Pro but only for one reason, all of them are upgraded to 90CRI standard.
I don’t think “pimped S2 Baton” has temperature control but time regulated like all Olights.
Since Martin has one he can confirm that.
Also, being 5050 format it won’t see any normal use beside M2R (my case) just because of lack of HI CRI 5050 emitters. Installing 3535 emitter (modding) will produce ugly. Eam cause of TIR designed for 5050 footprint.
Maybe with M1R (announced at US FB group) might get my attention but this one for sure will not.
I would say to start on 2m30 till 3m20, where he presents the specs.
I was listening again and guess I may have misunderstood his words, when he was presenting the “stepdowns”.
His words are “Now, that is thermally regulated, so depending on how hot the light actually gets, that’s how fast it will start to drop down”.
Checked. He dows say “depends how hot it gets it will stepdown” BUT packaging cleay shows 4min on 1500lm then stepdown AFTER 4 min to 500lm for 200min...
I think presenter is not familiar with these words and terms and the mean.
But Martin, again, can confirm this 100%
Damn those runtimes are crazy good for an 18650. One of the most efficient 18650 lights I’ve ever seen. Olight really makes the most efficient drivers in the industry. But unfortunately Olight is too stubborn to provide neutral white and high cri options with “good tint” (non green). I’m probably going to skip this despite the amazing performance and aesthetics.
That info is absent from the manual :zipper_mouth_face: I really have no clue, but…maybe it is an SST-40 after seeing the image after the destruction test:
Minute 7:49
as far as i know and tested all Olights have a timed stepdown, but you can reactivate turbo as long as the cell voltage allows and the over temperature protection does not kick in
the guy in the OP video is not correct with "1500 for 4 minutes and then lower to 500"
i had max 45 °C and 1:40 mins to drop under 1500 (max was 1650)
level @531 reached after 4:30
Martin, thank you so much for the information about this light!
I am still thinking of it due to the dual swiches and UI, as I’ve been looking for a light like this for a while (smaller than the M2R and similar features).
Will you have any deal for it or the current Olight deal is the best one currently?
ZL beat the crap out of Olight in terms of emitter selection but Olight is miles ahead of Zebralight in terms of driver efficiency. The Olight H2R with 4000K XHP50.2 70 CRI has an efficiency of 135lm/w where as the Zebralight H600fc MKIV w/ 4000K XHP50.2 90CRI only makes 89lm/w. The difference in efficiency between the two emitters is 20% max, so Olight is obviously much more efficient. Also the more recent Olight Perun with the XHP50.2 can do “*500 lumens for 4 HOURS!! Olight is king of driver efficiency.
The thing ZL drivers are really good at is the ultra low moonlight modes that can last an eternity, which is great if you ever get trapped in a cave.
