For Flashlight Friday, we’re taking a look at one of the most popular product lines from EDC flashlight favorite, Olight. Olight’s S1R II Baton joins the fray as the upgrade to their original S1R, a light made popular due to its convenient magnetic charging and intense output for a pocket flashlight. While it uses the same Cree XM-L2 LED as its predecessor and is also able to use a CR123A lithium primary, it now runs off of an included IMR 16340 rechargeable battery. You do lose some runtime due to the smaller capacity, but the S1R II is now able to push out a top end of 1000 lumens on Turbo before dropping down to a more manageable ~300 lumens after about a minute. Its 4 other modes, including a Low setting that gives 0.5 lumens up to 8 days and direct access to Strobe, is navigated with the S-series’s tried-and-true single side button interface. It sports a new, more aggressive knurling, as well as the new 2-way clip Olight have been rolling out with their newer lights. It’s shorter, more compact, and even slightly lighter than the original, and even now available in an eye-catching desert tan colorway to fit more EDCs. Check it out at the link below.
