OLIGHT Warrior Mini 2 1750 Lumens Tactical Flashlight with Dual Switch and Proximity Sensor, MCC Rechargeable EDC Flashlights for Camping, Outdoor, Emergency(Desert Tan)

Major design flaw by designer of this light. Metal charge port on end and metal switch on end. Can't pocket carry unless there is absolutely no metal on the pocket or in it. Have to treat this with care so no metal touches end and shorts it out dead.

I work for the railroad and sometimes at night in some really dark places. What i like about the light is that i can hang it from my gear and walk the ballast, lace air hoses, and tie brakes with my hands free. I also like the brightness level it can get when shoving back in a dark cut allowing me to see well ahead. I like having 3 levels of brightness for different situations and the moon light mode for looking at paperwork.What i don't like is it can't make it through an 8 hour shift. I mainly have it in low while working and only high level for short period of time when shoving. There's so much potential for this to be the perfect light for railroading but it falls short with the battery life. Did i get one that has issues? Maybe, but i doubt it. The 3 AA battery light i have issued by the railroad last 3 nights but it's larger than i really want for the job. The size of this light is perfect, but i have to have a backup to get through a shift. If you work outside and need the light to be on constantly with with primarily in low and some high you can realistically expect to get about 4 hours before you need to go to a backup. To me that devalues the light and it should be cheaper considering the price of what is issued to me and how long it lasts on AA rechargable batteries. I wish i could rate this light better with it's potential, but i can't. If you need something that doesn't require as much use as me this may be your light.***Edit***Olight reached out to me to try to resolve the issue. They sent me another battery free if charge. That battery died last a lot longer than the original. Because i have now got the warrior sand the prerun i can make it through the night. I also love this combination of light for my needs.

UPdate Replacement :Added picture left is original and right is the replacement. Much better anodized on replacement, did not scratch adjusting the clip. Olight did contact me to make sure everything is good, seems like good customer service support.The magnetic charge is a pro and a con. It’s great easy charge, but can only use their batteries to work. So if you have a lot of 18650 or cr123 rechargeables, they don’t work. When Olight gets them back on stock pickup a couple. Need a backup for EDC.Seems its going to be a good flashlight. Like the magnetic charge, but would think give it a magnetic function, like the S2R sticking on metal surfaces, it don't. Olights 186C35 batteries only.

If anything metal touches the magnet on the back of light it'll turn on in your pocket. Also the low beam does not want to work when you press the button and sometimes it does. I thought I got a bad light possibly so I went ahead and purchased a second one and nope has the same issues. For the price this should not be an issue but it is. I'll go with another brand for my next purchase.

This light has a few pros and cons compared to my stream light and wish I could have a little of each but I ended up returning this and keeping the streamlight.Pros: light starts on the last setting usedPower button is quietVery compact and good battery lifeCons: turbo mode is insanely bright but only last 4 minutes? Then goes into a 500 lumen lightHardly any flood light, mostly focused on the center

Purchased this over a surefire due to the rechargeable battery. This has multiple settings and brightness levels. The dim level is a little too dim (almost pointless) but mainly used the max setting. This thing definitely lights up and will blind you (great for self defense) as well as the strobe effect. Perfect for any possible animal encounters on the trail, burglars, or trying to find a lost contact on the floor. Only cons are the instructions were alot to follow (or maybe my attention span is shot idk) and this thing gets hot. I mean Hot HOT. After only a few minutes on max light this becomes the equivalent of touching a hot stove especially near the lense. Overall, I love it, it looks great and works great. And yes Olight is a china owned business, not USA. Honestly you'd never know it's pretty top notch.

The rear button is really something special that needs more praise. It has different settings, and is capable of being a momentary switch, and a contact switch, for two different light intensities, at the same time. Super handy feature when you think you need some light, and need ALL the light. 1750 lumens is incredibly bright, especially from a pocket-size light. The focal beam gets a bit muddy at distance, but there’s enough beam intensity that I can see a beach in the pitch dark to park at from an easy 300-400 feet off shore. I’ve been comparing this to all my buddies lights from stream lights and mag lights, like, “Is yours on? Wait, lemme turn mine off so we can see.”. It was hard for me to justify more than $50 for a flashlight, but I’m glad I did.

It's plenty bright the outside picture like is the gap between air force base fence and woods. It's still good to pocket carry with the clip without being to bulkly. I have carried it with the ring and keep the ring on there but it being a circular ring, I haven't mastered it being quick as I like. So stick to the pocket clip.I've never had it really get low on me battery life wise.I bought the white one for myself and when my brothers birthday came up I knew I had to get him one as well. It's just a little bit bigger than s2r Baton 2 but much brighter better throw. Annnnd has a tail switch. I quite like the tail switch need full bright hard press on tail and you got it. Need maybe not that much but a good high bright. Half press the tail. I typically save moonlight as my first press on the regular button. I doubt the warrior mini 2 would be a cap clip able light because can barely do it with the s2r Baton 2(I did at work while inspecting steel racking and the back of the s2r was touching my forehead.)I vary between carrying this light and the baton 3s I have. Sometimes I'll carry the warrior 3 or i5r. But for the most part carry the warrior mini 2
