Olight Smini

Olightworld · Dec 29, 2016

Because you can use it on a hat. The optic is extremely strong as well compared to a standard lens so damage is not an issue.

Thanks. Only thing I'm not really a fan of on the s mini is the clip being such that the LED is face up. Why do they do that? On the S1, I reversed mine. I also really like the body color(s) on the Olight whereas there is no option on the Mark2 unless you get the combo. Also, the button on the s mini seems much easier to operate one handed than the Mark2 needing twist. Any thoughts? Can anyone think of a clip that would fit the unit but faces the other way?

I love the S Mini so much I now have 5. The tints out of them are quite uniform CW/NW I am very pleased! Got the NW S1R I do not know if it is my eyesight or if the highest two modes are quite CW and the lower modes nice NW? I must have some of those clips above! I love Olight! I must have bought a dozen Olights this year.

Same here bro. I have the entire collection of all 8 lights and all the newest generation Olight that has been released so far. Massive Olight fan here. They have the best EDC lights at the moment IMO.

Maybe this is a stupid question but has anyone tried the S1r tailcap on the S Mini?

CelticCross74 · Dec 30, 2016

Ryp I have the raw copper, polished ti, rainbow ti, brass and just got the surprisingly nice stainless steel today. Power them all of fresh and hard to find AW 16340's. I love these things. Hmmm S1R tailcap on an S Mini...almost tempted to try it but dont want to risk my warranty....

Not going to work unfortunately. It can fit but I won't try it and I would not recommend that you do lol. Listen to CC74 and don't risk voiding your warranty.

these S minis are like crack. Olight comes out with say a V2 S Mini with a 600 lumen output for 5 min etc Ill just buy them all all over again....

I'm still holding out for an aluminum version. A natural HA color would be really cool but I black would fine.

Just took delivery of my mini in rose gold finish. Compared to my S1 this finish is more brown than gold, is this normal? Seems to be a great light, just not what I was expecting for a finish.

So does anyone have a comparable table using a 700mah aw protected or similar?

My Rose Gold S Mini and S1A also have more of a bronze finish compared with my Rose Gold S1. I much prefer the lighter color Rose Gold of the S1. I have no idea why Olight went with a darker finish Rose Gold on these newer models.

Same here. Tempted by the bead blasted ti, but ultimately it's a tool for me. And I feel aluminium is the best material for the job. Plus I just love that signature Olight black with the blue accents... 😆

Got my Stainless Steel today. Smaller than expected but heavier. Does this light not have the fade in/out the S1 does? Also, where would I put a keyring?

I don't know about that particular light but I'd be surprised if it doesn't fade. They only do it on the highest levels though.

Yea this is kind of what I thought. Seems like odd position vs the tailcap.

Re: *new* Olight Smini

An olight s micro (cr2) would be cool

Re: *new* Olight Smini

I tried max mode using a few AW IMR 16340s (550mAh) and black AW 16340s 750mAh. I've had all of these cells for a number of years now so if there are new versions out these findings may not apply however I tried the max mode and on all of these rechargeable the turbo dropped from max to about the low mode (12 lumens) after 30-50 seconds.

Using a primary CR123 the light behaves exactly as it has on paper (max to about 300lm after 1.5mins) which I find quite odd. It's possibly my older RCR cells can't keep up with the current drain I suppose, I've ordered some Olight 16340s (650mAh) to see if they can make the light behave as others have found on rechargeable.

I'm seeing something similar and just as concerning. I'm on a AW Protected ICR 123 750mAh in a brand new S Mini. I'm using my phones lux meter so probably not perfect but from about 5.5 ft away, going to turbo aimed at the sensor is about 1200 lux. Within a few seconds (<10), it drops very noticeably and the reading is about 150 lux. Is Olight on these boards to assist? I also have an S1R and have the customized RCR from that. It is 3.7v 550mAh RCR123A. Any harm in me trying that one on the S Mini?

EDIT: and yet now, its not doing this immediate and blatant step down. Been running for a minute so far. Maybe its only the high voltage from fresh charge. Definitely a graduate step down now. After about a minute, 850. Stepping down about 10 lux every few seconds.
EDIT2: 22 minutes later, about 440 lux at the same distance.
EDIT3: 39 minutes since start, was holding strong in the mid-high 400s. During this test, it dropped to about 130.
EDIT4: 46 minutes since start, dips to about 20 lux.
