Re: *new* Olight Smini

Hey guys,

We unfortunately have had a major delay in our shipment coming from FedEx. They have lost 3 boxes but currently we do have the polished titanium and rainbow titanium versions in stock since those boxes arrived. We have been corresponding with FedEx for the past 4 days trying to figure it out. They have told us that several people are looking for the boxes at their main location on Memphis, TN which is apparently where they are. We are trying to get to the bottom of this and we sincerely apologize that this has happened. We have already shipped out the polished and rainbow orders and we still have them in stock. We got about 20 raw copper lights as well but those were shipped out immediately when we received them a few days ago. We have another shipment coming from the factory as we speak and those should be here next week to fulfill any outstanding orders in all colors. Thank you for understanding. This is a very stressful and difficult situation for all of us.

Olightworld: I appreciate your candor and respect in letting us know what is going on. I think you are being generous in describing this problem as simply "lost" packages, as one could be more suspicious in nature and suspect theft. But I will choose to be optimistic and hope the boxes will be found intact, with no harm done to the lights. Thank you for keeping us informed about what it happening. I tend to be more interested in products made and/or sold by people who treat me with honesty and respect, as opposed to products made by people who do not.
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

That is unfortunate, even though I prefer CR123 lights I wanted to pick up a few AA lights as back ups and the S1A was high on the list. With no special editions neutral will probably be unavailable and that rules it out for me.

There is a neutral version of the S1A available now on the Olightstore website, but they will only ship if you are in the USA or Canada.
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

Thanks for some real pro insider information Marshall! ...well that sucks. Oh well I am quite content with my S1A as is.

Well, I had a deal with FedEx... Now my hair is gray :)

Back to the issue: what finish is it -- copper black? How resilient it is?
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

Does anyone know if the mini will also have the timer feature. I don't see any mention of it. I think the timer feature is kinda cool.
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

I thought the s1 was as small as you can get... way to go Olight!
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

Recived the BB Ti and Raw Cu today. Overall very impressive quality and design.

Re: *new* Olight Smini

BTW, I've got a question: my S1 Ti (previous release, as on the image above) tripping own Olight's 16350 current protection on high. I have to unscrew tail cap and close it again to revive the light. Does a new release suffer the same issue?

I like the Smini clip design to S1. The fixed clip of Smini enable me to locate the switch without any difficulties

However, the power on/off to/from maximum was a bit unusual, i would descibe it as fade in (intensity increase gradually) and fade out ( intensity reduce gradually) instead of from off to max output and vice versa.

There are two different Olight 16340 cells, one 550 mAh IMR (high discharge), the other 650 mAh (low discharge).
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

I would love to see the two tints of these lights side by side if you could. I really like that ti version.
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

Thank you Cubebike. The CW tint looks really good for a CW. I might actually prefer it. It's looks to be free of any tint.

They have the same function (light fade in and out gradually) on the S1R as well, which is explained as 'protecting the eyes from the stimulation caused by sedan brightness changes'. Personally, I like this function as it does give the eyes a chance to adjust to the sudden max brightness.
 
Re: *new* Olight Smini

Great Photos.

I really wish they would have differentiated this light a bit more by making it slightly wider to accommodate an 18350. It's hard finding nice 18350 lights, but I'm sure they will sell more with the current design so...
 
*new* Olight Smini

The old Batons had an electronic lockout feature that was activated via an extra long press from off, and required a similarly long press to deactivate the lockout. At some point I believe that feature was abandoned. Could someone who has one of the new Sminis in hand please confirm whether the electronic lockout function is present or absent in this model?

Thanks...
