I had asked and Olight has responded to me that spare 32650 cells will be available for sale later and the price has not yet been set.
For the time being, the Marauder Mini will come equipped with the special 32650 Olight battery.
Well that’s a bit of an omission!
Great video review! You’ve darn near got me over my proprietary cable objection. Now I’ve just got to see if I can deal with the cold light. But that high-output run time and the RGBs are really attractive. I’d love to see a comparison with the Wurkkos TS32.
I wonder how difficult it would be to swap in a few warmer emitters to bring the CCT down…
Several people have mentioned this. I have to get my hands on a TS32…
It is great light from Olight with very interesting features. But drawbacks are custom battery and emitters. Now there will be huge discount on that model for Black Friday from $199 to $139. For who lives in US I thinks that is bargain.
In Singapore and Malaysia, the Marauder Mini is priced at only US$129.99, tax-free.
But I will wait for an “improved” model using a more common battery, perhaps a 26800 or two 21700 cells.
Can expect Olight to offer some more better deals for other new lights during the upcoming Lunar New Year Sale in late January. 
You are lucky guy. In Europe now is BF Olight discount from 199EUR to 152EUR. In my country we also have Olight disrtributor, but they didn’t make any discount offers for Olight flashlights.
Why does olight hide the model of LEDs used for throw/ flood?
anybody know whats in the flashlight ?
Thanks for the review.
Please don’t take it personal but I’m very direct and opinionated!
I don’t think you mentioned it but possibly I could have missed it. Can this do flood and throw at the same time? There are some lights that can do that, I definitely prefer that.
Basically having three options flood, throw or flood and throw combo.
I have never had nor will I ever get a flashlight with proprietary battery.
I don’t like being dependent on the manufacturer. I like choosing and charging my own batteries!
The only good thing about this is you could take the cell out and it’s only one cell and not a battery pack.
6000 lumens is good no complaints there but 600m of throw? I have lights the same size and even a little smaller size that throw much further than that. They could have put a better LED in there.
My guess when they battery becomes available and for sale , they’d be at least $30. Probably closer to $50.
With the exception of the WT90 all my other lights are modified. So I’m even more critical when it comes to the stock lights, although ones like the K1 have caught up with these modifiers.
I looked, you can find the cells now, but they run from about $35 to $60. The capacity, considering their size at ~5-6 AH is not that great either.
I really wonder about the thought process involved in choosing this cell over more commonly available cells. I will rule this light out for purchase just based on this.
Otherwise, the feature set does look quite interesting.
My guess was pretty close.
A propriety battery is one of several reasons that I wouldn’t want it that I already mentioned.
This is the major reason although they won’t admit it . Them being any manufacturer that has these priority battery or battery packs.
In regards to the battery, the reason they chose that is because then the buyer is dependent on the manufacturer for replacement. You’re at their Mercy in regards to cost and the battery itself. Even if it was a 26650 or 18650 or another common size, the way they put the positive and the negative on the positive terminal you couldn’t replace it with one you wanted anyway. In a sense it’s a customized battery.
Overall single battery is cheap compared to some of those propriety battery packs they go up to $150 depending on the light and the size of the pack.
I would much rather have a single proprietary battery than 3 or 4 non-proprietary batteries in a soda can light.
I wonder if there might be a way to use a multi-cell cage in this flashlight. Or an expander to use a 26800 cell. Obviously it wouldn’t be able to be recharged… but having some sort of fallback would be helpful.
