Hey hey folks!

So, after edc-ing a copper Olight S1 Baton for a year I thought it was time for me to expand the collection and add a couple lights. I also have a streamlight stylus pro and a foursevens mmu-x3, but I was so impressed with my S1 that I really wanted to keep going with Olight.

So I ordered an R20 Javelot and an S2R Baton and just received them last night and I gotta say...I continue to be blown away by Olight! I'll add some photos and thoughts on these specific models later, but I wanted to start a thread where other Olight users and appreciators could post their photos, thoughts and Olight love! Whatta ya got?

Right!? That copper ages so beautifully, and paired with great mode variation AND great run time it's a real winner. Got my eye on the copper s2 that's out now...

Would love to see some pics!

Added the S2A to my EDC rotation a few weeks ago. It's a pretty nice floody light.

I recently ordered both a S1 Baton and a i3e mini. I've not received them yet, but if I can really get 60 lumens out of a keychain light I'm going to be ecstatic.

I bought the Baton to use as a backup light when I'm tracking at night. I have a rechargable headlight, but my backup is a regular mini mag. If I'm out for a long time the ability to clip the baton onto my hat and have both one battery in it and a spare in my pocket was extremely appealing to me. I'm really really hoping they're worth all the noise I've been hearing. I've always got a piston in my hands at night so having to hold a mini mag in the other is awfully inconvenient. I'm really hoping this does the job.

Nice! That's really exciting. I'll tell ya, I have been so incredibly impressed by the S1. I think it's a truly incredible light, especially for its size. I'll be curious to hear about how you like it!

Welp got the Baton in today, the Mini i3e's are running a day behind. Holy crap this thing is going to make an amazing backup light for tracking tasks. I did get the version with the little yellow USB charger and 2 RCR1234As, so I should be able to go a full night in the woods between my headlamp and these two batteries and never run out of light. If I can't find a road in that amount of time I've got bigger problems.

That's great to hear! Would love to see some pics [emoji1417]

Also, I think rechargeable lights are totally the way to go. So easy to make sure you're leaving the house with full Juice all the time.

Got my copper S1 with me today.

That's a beaut! Bead blasted ti mini S1 is on my short list to own. I loooove that extra little design feature where the clip is sunk into the body to keep it from twisting.

I like everything about this light. Fit and finish are top notch, great output spacing and run time too. Oh, and that clip!

Love my olight s1r and s2r, the recharging capability from the base was the main reason I got one to begin with. Just awesome not having to change batteries or think about battery life.
 
I'm pretty sure I only have 3 Olights (in part because I stalled in my purchase of the blasted ti S30; and, by the time I got around to completing the purchase, they were sold out). S15 ti, R50 cu, S2 cu...all well loved.

I like it enough that I bought the standard version (black, hard anodized aluminum) for my stepfather...and he already had an EDC light he was happy with.
The copper version is heavy (18.5 oz); but I love it. UI is simple, there's a mode memory (excluding turbo).
If you've got specific questions, I'll try to answer them; but I can't compare it to any of its current competitors, as it's my only 26650 light.
 
They have been great to me over the last year or so and have put out some great stuff lately. My current personal favorite is the S1R. Small, bright and self contained (no changing batteries).
 
I picked up this S1R Baton at a knife show today and so far I love it!

The jeans that I wear have a neat little loop sewn into the upper leg that accommodates the light pretty well and keeps my pockets available for other items.
