OLIGHT Warrior Mini3 Tactical Flashlight, Dual Switches LED Rechargeable Light with MCC3 Charger, 1750 Lumens Powerful EDC Light for Camping, Emergency and Outdoor (Desert Tan)

I've bought a lot of Olights over the years. They're quality made, with lots of features. But this Mini 3 has become my favorite, I don't leave home w/out it. I like the new pattern on the grip. Oversized side switch is easier to feel in total darkness. The dual powered tail-switch is so nice when you need bright light NOW, and it's magnetic to stick onto any nearby steel. 1st press is HIGH, then press harder for the super-bright Turbo mode. I also prefer its dim 1/2-lumen Moonlight mode, great for moving around the house w/out disturbing others.

If you are unsure of which model to get, the answer is both (probably) but read on to find out why. The differences between these two flashlights are battery size, overall size, and maximum brightness. Olight uses proprietary batteries in their flashlights. This is to enable their magnetic charging, but means that you can't just swap another battery into it. Generally it's not a problem because these flashlights have plenty of juice to last for many weeks of normal use. If you need extended run times I'd buy a flashlight like the nightcore e4k and some extra 21700 batteries. These can even be used with a ledlenser powerbank so that you always have 165 days worth of moonlight. For normal usage these two olight models are fantastic and have the added advantage over other models of two switches. So you might be wondering which of the two to get. Well here's the deal. The Warrior 3s is going to give you longer run times of up to 55 days. It will give you a brighter light and longer throw. It is longer, heavier, and thicker in the pocket. I currently carry the Nitecore e4k which is also a 21700 powered light and it is noticable but not too troublesome in the winter when I have bigger pants and jackets to carry it in. I like to have a fill size light in winter time because there are more hours of darkness and it's easier to use the controls on a bigger light with gloves on. In summer time when I have shorts and a tshirt I don't carry a full size light. I often carry a baton mini or a rovyvon keychain light like the A3x. These lights are lightweight but they do run out of juice fasted than I like. The Warrior 3 mini has enough juice to last me quite sometime and is small and light enough to work for EDC. My Nitecore is now going into my medpack just in case I need more brightness or extra run times. You might be wondering if the warrior series lights are bright enough. The answer to that is in most situations I believe so. My E4k puts out a max of 4400 lumens, I have never needed to use the light at that level of brightness. Usually 1000 lumens is plenty of light and often I find myself happily using moonlight mode or maybe 100-250 lumens if I am on a walk or on an outdoor chore. Having more lumens would be better for the strobe setting but I have never used a strobe light defensively nor heard tales of anyone successfully averting an attack with a strobe light so I am going to say that it's not worth considering much. What makes olight the winner is their interface. Press and hold the olight sideswitch for moonlight. Click the side switch to turn on at your last setting. Half click the tail switch to enter high and fully click to enter turbo. I will now be carrying a warrior 3 mini every day and a baton 3 as a backup light. I think the Warrior 3s is a good option but the proprietary battery is less than ideal in a large tactical light for me. Is it a perfect light? Well no. I prefer a warmer tone for the light. This is a cooler temperature, peobably around 5,000k. It is not a high CRI emitter ehich means that the light it emits isn't beautiful. I would love to just have an extra battery or be able to throw in 2 cr123as in an emergency. Every light has to make compromises but all of thr compromises this light makes result in an absolutely wonderful lightweight, long lasting, bright edc flashlight.

Best light I've had in years! Much better than streamlight, super convenient size, ultra bright and convenient back and side button! Held up for over a year for me so far no issues.

Wow, this is the best flashlight I have EVER owned. The battery lasts forever, there are so many modes to choose from, and it doesn’t stop there. The light has an extremely durable metal construction. And looks sleek in any place. Turbo mode is like turning on the sun. This light allows you to see from so far away because of how far it throws its beam, rather than flooding it near you. But it’s balanced perfectly because the light also works well for seeing near. On sale this was an absolute steal and I would absolutely buy this light again even at normal price. The light comes with a clip orientation adapter as well so you can carry the light lens up or down depending on your preference. It’s been months since I charged the light and I carry it everyday and use it regularly. The magnetic charger works well and the beam has a nice cool white color of about 6000k. Look no further on your search for a light. This compact light that you can carry in your pocket functions perfectly and there couldn’t be a better product. Read the product description to see all of the cool modes it has and how long the battery can last. I’m so incredibly impressed. The metal switch on the back also feels super nice and intuitive to use.

Just like it says. The Warrior Mini has a nice hot spot with decent throw and brightness for its size. However, the Sofrin Sp31 v3 is also is a regulated 18650 light, with 2000 lumens, a tir lens, a tail switch, a more useable moon mode, and much less expensive. The Sofrin is also usb c rechargeable and take any 18650 cell. The brightness across the modes are pretty much identical aside from moon mode .5lm (Olight) vs 1lm (Sofrin) which I find preferable. I also notice less green tint on the Sofrin on lower modes. The Sofrin also holds turbo for longer and does not get as hot. Imo the Sofrin is the better buy unless you really want fancy colors.

The Olight Warrior Mini 3 is an outstanding flashlight that delivers in every way. Its compact size makes it perfect for everyday carry, and the performance is incredible for such a small light. With impressive brightness and multiple modes, it’s versatile enough for any situation—whether I’m using it for work, outdoor adventures, or emergencies. The battery life is excellent, lasting a long time even with regular use, which adds to its reliability. Plus, the magnetic charging system is super convenient. For the quality and features you’re getting, this flashlight is an amazing value for the money. Durable, dependable, and worth every penny—highly recommended!

This is the second one of these I got. I have the older version and got the newer one for my wife. They charge easily and turn on and off easy with the switch normal click on click off. Holding the button down switches it from low to medium to high then back to low. The battery lasts a long time, I have put it on the charger several times and it doesn't need to be charged. The low setting is great for the middle of the night if you wake up and don't want to wake your wife up with a bright light and if you need more light for taking your dog out at night the next two brightnesses work.

Incredibly bright light for such a small flashlight! very well made, fits perfectly in your hand, money well spent.
