Olight Baton 3 Premium 1200LM 166m Rechargeable Red Flashlight Description
The Olight Baton 3 Premium 1200LM 166m Rechargeable Red Flashlight is a compact flashlight kit designed for everyday carry, ideal for camping, hiking, and emergency use. For example, its 1200-lumen output with a 166m throw can illuminate a trail during a night hike, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. With a wireless charging case and a magnetic tail cap, it offers versatile functionality. Featuring a 2-year warranty, this Olight Baton 3 Premium for Outdoor Use suits campers, hikers, and EDC enthusiasts.
Powerful Illumination for EDC and Outdoor Use
The Olight Baton 3 Premium features a high-performance Cree XM-L2 LED, delivering a maximum output of 1200 lumens with a beam throw of 166m and a peak intensity of 6889 candela, making it ideal for short to medium-range illumination in EDC or outdoor scenarios. It offers five brightness modes plus a strobe, accessible via a single side switch:
- Turbo: Brightest setting for maximum visibility.
- High: Strong illumination for sustained use.
- Medium: Balanced output for general tasks.
- Low: Energy-saving mode for longer runtime.
- Moonlight: Minimal light for extended use.
- Strobe: Disorienting flash for emergencies.
The runtimes with the included 550mAh IMR16340 battery are as follows: - Turbo (1200 lumens):
1.5 minutes, drops to 300 lumens: 75 minutes - High (300 lumens):
95 minutes - Medium (60 lumens):
7.5 hours - Low (12 lumens):
33 hours - Moonlight (0.5 lumens):
20 days - Strobe (1200 lumens):
Not specified (typically 1-2 hours)
Powered by a customized 550mAh IMR16340 lithium-ion battery (included), it features magnetic charging via the tail cap (cable included) or the included wireless charging case, which has a 3500mAh 18650 battery and can charge the Baton 3 up to 3.7 times, taking about 1 hour to fully charge the flashlight. The flashlight is IPX8 waterproof (submersible to 2m) and impact-resistant to 1.5m, ensuring reliability in wet or rough conditions, though its 53g weight without the charging case (approximately 167g with the case) makes it lightweight for EDC. This makes it a versatile choice for everyday carry and outdoor use, though users should note the brief Turbo mode runtime and plan for recharging during extended use.
Durable and Compact Design
The Olight Baton 3 Premium is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish in a striking red color with gold PVD clip and bezels, offering durability and resistance to wear in rugged outdoor conditions. It measures 63mm in length (2.48 inches), with a 21mm head diameter (0.83 inches) and 21mm body diameter (0.83 inches), weighing 53g (1.87 oz) without the charging case, making it extremely compact for EDC, often described as pinky-sized in user feedback. The flashlight features a magnetic tail cap for hands-free attachment to metal surfaces, a bi-directional pocket clip for versatile carry (including on a hat as a headlamp), and an anti-slip knurled texture for improved grip, though some users note the small size can be tricky to handle with gloves. Its IPX8 rating ensures it can withstand submersion, making it suitable for rainy conditions, though users should avoid prolonged submersion beyond 2m. The wireless charging case adds convenience but increases the overall weight to 167g, which may feel bulky for some EDC setups. This makes it a durable, compact choice for EDC and outdoor use, though users should use the lockout function (press and hold the switch for 2 seconds to lock/unlock) to prevent accidental activation and consider the case's added bulk for carry preferences.
Designed for Outdoor and EDC Use
The Olight Baton 3 Premium for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, hikers, and EDC enthusiasts needing a reliable, compact flashlight for everyday carry, outdoor activities, or emergencies. For example, its 1200-lumen Turbo mode with a 166m throw can light up a campsite, while the 0.5-lumen Moonlight mode provides up to 20 days of runtime for extended emergencies, though some users have reported the Turbo mode's 1.5-minute runtime is limiting for sustained high-output tasks, as noted in web information. The light's five brightness modes and strobe offer versatility, and its IPX8 rating ensures reliability in wet conditions, such as during rainy hikes, though the 1.5m impact resistance is moderate, so users should avoid drops. The Baton 3's magnetic tail cap and clip make it ideal for hands-free use, such as attaching to a car hood during repairs, but the proprietary battery (not compatible with standard 16340 or CR123A) may be a drawback for users needing quick swaps in the field. It's perfect for those needing a bright, portable EDC light with a charging solution for outdoor and emergency scenarios, offering a balance of power and runtime, though users should plan for recharging and be mindful of the brief Turbo mode runtime.
