If I wasn't in the jacuzzi I'd check my lights for those winning numbers. I had no idea there was even a contest!

A more cogent review could not be made - thank you...
My TI performs exactly as described and is my EDC - if Olight made the SR2 in NW, that would be great.

Thank you for this excellent review. I just ordered the polished TI version from the Olight store.

Re: PWM/Flicker

PWM

The S Minis have (barely visible) PWM at 1500 Hz on moonlight mode only.

maukka, if you get a chance, I would be curious to see the Flicker Snob Index for the Cu S Mini

like you shared for the S1 Mini:

thank you for all your time and info!
Merry Holidays

The original post is old, I know, but I also appreciate the great review very much. Just order the titanium version of (I think) this model and it is supposed to be delivered today.

Received my Copper S Mini today.
Photographable PWM/Constant Current Flicker:

l-r 3000k N219c, 4000k N219b, 6000k XM-L2

Im amazed how small the S Mini is. The beam is very green in the middle.
Electronic Lockout causes moonlight to work when pressing the button, and turns off when releasing the button. a little weird.. but, Im entertained.

I love the copper host and am dreaming of marrying it to the High CRI TIR, switch w low battery indicator, and driver. Waiting for a post xmas sale on the High CRI for now.. since I have been carrying Nichias exclusively, the CW Cu S Mini has a ridiculously green beam by contrast, and makes my hand look like a zombie.. but Im loving playing with this little light saber, regardless of its foibles..

Do you get the full 550 lumen output with a primary? If not what is top output with a primary?

Thanks

I can't seem to get time mode to work. I put on moonlight it just stays on all day?

Is it turn on double click then hold on 3rd click or double click hold ing on second click? The latter just engages lock out mode. The former cycles through modes. Im baffled. Please help

 

[maukka]

On mine the shutdown timer works just like it's described in the manual. Tried on the S Mini Ti and the newer S1 Mini on low and moonlight.

Turn the light on, hold down the switch to get to the desired mode, double click and hold the 2nd click until the light blinks. One blink means 3 minute shutoff timer, two blinks 9 minute timer. To switch between short and long timers just double click and hold the 2nd click until the light does the blink.

 

[recDNA]

No way to make the timer permanent right? It only works on that one occasion?

 

[maukka]

That's right.
