Great review. I ordered the Baton 3 Pro on their Black Friday sale. They have disabled the proximity sensor on the Baton 3 Pro.
I hope olight remove the proprietary battery and charger... Just use normal 18650 or type c. That will make this the best light
I love my Warrior 2 Mini, and one thing I have never said was: “If only they would make it without this tail cap switch that gives me instant access to low and turbo.” It’s not too long, and if anything I wish it was larger and had even more output - which is why I have a Warrior 3S coming. So I would personally lean toward not going any smaller than the Warrior 2 Mini.
As for the CW emitter - I am over it. I appreciate the efficiency so much, that I don’t mind that is has the tint of my Tesla or Audi headlights. After all, I see things illuminated by my headlights daily. I think enthusiasts should start to see the beauty in efficiency when it comes to battery-operated devices, but very few reviewers test for it or talk about that.
Are you saying the NW has less efficiency?
You seemed to really downplay how green that emitter is. Well over 0.0100, and still above 0.0070 on high is ugly, wouldn’t you agree?
The other thing I wish they’d change is the clip placement. Bezel up carry ruins it for me. The ergos suffer for having that clip up there too. An option to move the clip to the tail would be awesome.
its an olight, can't ask for nice tint neither good cri
I don’t think I downplayed it at all. I showed it against other beams even.
Love nerding out to your reviews. And yeah, the Warrior 3S is just a bit too big for a lot of EDC situations. My job requires multiple EDC tools so for my light, compact but super bright is king which is why I carry the standard Baton 3. So when I saw the Baton 3 Pro it was a no brainer and I scored the OD green and orange during their Black Friday sale. Wow what a fantastic light in every way. I consider it my new yardstick that all other compact EDC lights are judged by. It's the perfect mix of overall design, build quality, compactness, brightness, run time, ease of use, versatility and price. Liked that included metal hanging bracket so much I reached out to Olight for more so I can store my Baton 3's and future Olights the same way, those things are great.
These are great musings! And thanks for watching!
@@cheule You're welcome! Now all we need is a Baton 3 Pro Eternal. The Baton 3 Eternal is incredible. It looks like a future tech antique.
Out of all of the lights you have that is the best one??
Good to kknow you like this light in NW. I have it. Love it for what it's for ...EDC use. Right size. Possibly the Pro Max being slightly better being half an inch longer and slightly thicker (subjective).....available in CW, Nw and WW).
As for emitter swapping....most of us wouldn't know where eto buy emitters fearing buying from some unscrupilous retailer selling emitters of poor quality, maybe cloness...etc. Even if we actually do own soldering irons and flux.....
Should do a video about swapping emitters that mentions where to buy from...it's not like they're available from Best Buy :)
I like the tint on my Baton pro Titanium, I don’t really know what color tint or cri it’s in but it’s definitely different that the regular baton pro..I wonder if the tint on the baton 3 pro is similar to the tint and cri on the baton pro titanium..?
I wonder as well!
Made a purchase today! I don't suppose the giveaway is valid for those of us outside the US is it?
I'd like to thank you for your review, it played a big role in helping me decide to go with the NW ODG Pro for Black Friday.
So far I've been INCREDIBLY impressed with the light, that being said, aside from poking around way too many enthusiast forums, my only good light to compare to is a CW i5T, so it's hard to tell for sure. 🤷🏻♂️
Even though I'd looked at tons of pictures of it, my very first thought when opening it was that it looked like one of those mini corn on the cobs!
I definitely do see the yellow cast on lower modes, and it does bother a bit, however I prefer it to the i5T green cast.
I'm also wondering if I won the tint lottery because I can see some pink halo, but maybe it's just due to crazy color shifting?
Compared to the i5T the 600 lumen high looks shockingly clean, something I didn't expect at all. Is that simply due to NW vs CW? Or is the i5T really than bad? I honestly had thought the i5T, while not having the best characteristics, still had a pretty good beam overall.
The clip is annoyingly stiff to get the light easily put away one handed, but I'm learning.
I saw some reviewers mention heat not being a huge issue... Personally I couldn't touch the pill end of the light on turbo. I'm disappointed they removed the proximity sensor, as the reviews I saw all mentioned the override function working well.
I was strongly looking at getting the M150 on Amazon, but due to the M150 not being on sale, and the Pro ending up similarly priced, I decided I just couldn't look past the bonkers numbers on the Pro. I've been in instances where I wanted more punch from my i5T, so power won over emitter for me.
The above BBL nature of the NW emitter cleans up a lot on turbo. It gets closer to BBL. If you want to know more about that, heck out this lengthy treatise on DUV and tint: th-cam.com/video/agIbkfuZjH4/w-d-xo.html
Wow, that's an awesome resource!
Looking closely at a couple of those charts makes me realize that I was getting my wires crossed, since I mainly noticed the pink halo on lower levels (up against the wall like in your video) with the definite yellow tints. I don't think I'd realized that yellow was also above BBL like green.
I'm also starting to question something I saw online that listed my phone's flash as something like 96 CRI and 3800 CCT... because the phone has a suspiciously similar yellow cast to it.
I was using my phone as a basis for what a good emitter looks like, so that seemingly didn't help either.
Nice review. sorry, you didn't end up selling me this light as I really like my WM2 and I am getting ready to do my first emitter swap. ordered some XML2s from Simon and the wait begins...
It;s my pleasure to bring flashlight review to you, no need to purchase ever!
@@cheule Appreciated. However, the more I see you with that W3S the more I want one. Since you have a great tutorial on emitter swap, I may just have to snag one. 😁.
I wish they had the baton 3 pro max green in NW!!
I had seen a review on a warrior mini 2 and there was stated that it has a luminus SST40. I dont know where he got this info. Olight doesnt mention their leds anywhere. But luminus SST 20, 40 and 70 are famous for having a green tint as olight has so this would fit. But I saw a lot of reviews from convoys with luminus led's and they didnt had a green tint. I ordered one with a SST40 in 5000k and mine also has no green tint. How is it that cheap convoy (by the way the build quality is very good) is able to get this fixed what fenix, olight etc dont.
This all makes sense!
I actually prefer around 5" because it fits perfectly in my hand. Not too short like all these small lights
Does the proximity sensor only step down when on Turbo mode? It seems like an accidental double click in the pocket would be unlikely. I’m wondering what the proximity sensor would do it the light got single clicked into high in the pocket. Would it dim the high mode too? Thanks!
The light is 5 mode, ML-L-M-H-T. The sensor only is active on H & T, and you can only defeat the sensor on T.
@@cheule Thanks for the quick response!
@@cheule My Baton 3 pro will only remember high mode when off for 60 seconds. If you set it to high and turn it off for more than 1 minute, the next time you turn it on it will be in medium mode. That would prevent the problem Tim B was asking about.
What does the NW with and arrow stand for on the light side
It stands for Neutral White.
Because of this video after I finish watching it I went down and ordered one thank you very much. Dude you know a lot about flashlights that's impressive and when you turned it on in the dark that blew my mind 1500 Looms that's awesome and I have been looking for a flashlight with high looms that's rechargeable and small had a great price. Thanks for the video brother.
Hope you're enjoying your Pro as much as I am. And oh yes he did. Peace!
@@davidsapir3764 I am brother you may not believe this but I'm from St Louis but I'm in Fort Hood Texas right now and my flashlight is in my hand as I'm messaging you I love it.
@@Trump145 I'm from St louis too!
What's the main difference between the Warrior Mini 2 and the Baton 3 Pro (other than the LED used)?
no tail switch and 250 less lumens than the wm2
Baton 3 seems more comparable to the S2R2, not the WM2. Bigger button, proximity sensor and NW or CW options are all different than the S2R2.
WM2 is bigger/longer/heavier and has a tail switch.
This is the right answer!
How often does Olight schedule it's Ofan sales? That Baton 3 Pro is sweet.
Usually 1 or 2 times a quarter.
@@cheule Thanks, but I found Olight's "store" on Ebay and found a good price on the Warrior Mini2 and went with it. Thanks again for the reply.
Great overview of this highly anticipated new baton! Great work! And I couldn't agree more about the value of a single emitter EDC! I use to carry quads, but haven't EDC'd a multi emitter light in months. These single emitter lights have everything you need with arguably more efficient beam profiles.
Baton 3 Pro for beam pattern, and the Warrior for its color temperature. Just my opinion
Great review, bought one.
Olight if you’re reading this, give us blue!
you know whats funny about lights and products in general that noone is talking about it? this light in US (your country) is worth roughly half day to 1 day of work-labor (4-8 hours) to buy it... in my country its worth 2-3 days of work... do you see the deference ? is this fair? well what can you do
I agree, this is currency exchange rates. This exists with all goods and services.
Are there any advantages of the NW vs CW?
Neutral white makes the colors of items pop more compared to cool white. Even at low CRI, the world looks better at warmer CCTs than 6500K.
@@cheule thank you for the answer. I have the SR2 and have been looking to upgrade. From your video the CW looks similar to my current light, just more lumens. I like the warrior you showed as well.
@@cheule I think colors look most natural at 5500k and that is the temperature of sunlight on a clear day.
So Warrior3 better EDC than BOSS?
BOSS is a fancy toy you put on a display case.
All depends on my mood! Boss is amazing, but short runtime comparatively. Also, I don’t mind beating the warrior up, I baby the boss.
Need a lanyard hole and better colors
The black with blue is the best looking color.
I really like the Baton 3 Pro. I'm a CW guy, that's just what I prefer. But Olight's never have "nasty" cool white. They are always slightly warmer than the competitors.
Hey it would be awesome to get one of my 2 order fo FREE! 🤞😎🤞
Olight is telling me who won tonight, I’ll announce it tomorrow! Good luck!
@@cheule
🤞🤪🤞
Their high mode is supposed to be 600 lumens, but you were only getting 300 lumens
I’m thinking that the bounce sensor had stepped down my high and I hadn’t noticed. You can defeat the bounce sensor on turbo, which I did, but not on high.
Sorry I didn’t catch that!
@@cheule ohh okay, gotcha! Still a good video!
High is supposed to be 600 lumens wtf
I believe the bounce sensor was on and I didn’t even notice. Whoops!
Proprietary batteries make me sick :( I don't understand why any company think it would be a good idea to force their customers to buy only their batteries and charger. You can't even charge them on a charger, Olight is such a disgrace to the flashlight community.
You can charge them on a charger. Just pop a little round magnet on the positive end, and it will charge in a normal bay charger.
I love to see these guys in low light classes with their Olight. These guys are fidget spinner guys, gadget guys. If you want a real edc light that’ll last you find a real channel. Don’t get me wrong good backpack or throw in the car 2nd light, but don’t be fool tho isn’t a heavy duty primary flashlight. I seen these guys in class they have to tap 3 times drop down, Jump once while rubbing their belly counter clockwise to get to full power. In a real life scenario, get a light that one click full strength no questions ask blast to the face. I’m ok with being a gadget collector like the guy on the video, but for real life your family or friends life in danger, trust me don’t get advice from a guy that said turbo 50 times in a video. You should have a disclaimer on this video.
What would you have the disclaimer state?
For low light class use you would get one of the tail cap versions. It has direct access to turbo. If OmarFlowTv knew anything about these lights he/she would know that is how the Warrior 3S or Warrior Mini 2 operates.
Everybody is now dumber for having read this, congratulation, and may god have mercy on your soul
@@rockon609 Ik, this made me cry.
Ugh the tint is so green 🤮
I wish they had chosen a better bin.
@@cheule i hear ya. I would almost be a buyer if it had something just a little more neutral.
@@bcarman120 I hate green tints as well.
Friend help me! I really like warrior mini (minimal dimensions, best control) but I want it to get HiCRI LED 4500-5000 K. I need it to work at short distances from 0.1 to 15 m. Do you know how to disassemble the flashlight? which LED is the best?
Disassembling the baton pro 3 is harder than other Olight’s. I don’t recommend it. It can be done but it’s not easy.
