The kind folks from Olight sent this Olight S10R iii Baton along for me to do a review on and if anyone is interested on buying these, Olight has a promotional offer going on during Sept 24-28th with their lights at 20-35% discount.

The S10R has been revised, this boasts a 600 Lumen with a rechargeable battery and arrived with a nifty base that is triangular in shape and the light's end cap is pulled down via magnet inside the light to the base charger. There is an indicating led on the base, Red as you might imagine means it is charging the battery, and Green...you guessed it, means it has completed it's charge.
The base has a mini usb connector and comes with a short cable so you can connect to a usb to do the charging. I think this will be handy to have sitting at the desk and just put the light on there to charge it up, neat and tidy.
Total time on a charge they are giving a 15 day run time, that would be at the lowest setting called Moon and is helpful in totally blacked out areas, I'll sometimes use this mode to get from room to room at night just before bedtime, shutting off the living room lights and making my way down the hallway via this low light.
Along with the charging base and cable, they also provide the rechargeable RCR123A battery, and their soft lanyard which arrives with an easy threading pin attached to the small cord so you can get that into the small hole easily.
Now this light, compared to the other models I've recently tested, does not have the center bump in the lens, but has a flat lens so this seems to throw the beam further, they list a distance of 118 meters.
It is listed as water proof down to 2 meters, as it has the side switch
Rated outputs are as follows
600 lumens for about 1 1/2" then dropping to 300 lumens with an estimated duration of 60 minutes
120 lumens duration of 160 minutes
12 lumens duration of 33 hours
0.5 lumens or their Moon setting for a duration of 15 days
Quite a bit of range there in a very small package.
Same method of threading in the lanyard, handy small cotter pin that they provide helps to thread it in

Charging station, please note that it also has a USB port so you can connect up something through the charging station, in this way you are not giving up a USB power port

That magnetic base can come in handy, here it is held by the metal latch as it is being used to light up the power panel in our house.
