OLIGHT Marauder Mini Rechargeable 7000 Lumens 600 Meters Range Torch 43.5Hours Battery Life IPX8 Water Resistance Ultra Bright Torch for Outdoor(Black)

Product Information

I will say that the rotary interface here doesn’t quite suit me. The switch seems to be some weird combination of rotary and “speed sensing switch” (there’s a real name for it I’m sure). If you rotate the dial very slowly, either nothing will happen, or you’ll rotate the switch nearly all the way around for onechange in level. In other words, the levels are not specific places on the dial. You rotate until the level changes. The rotary rotates freely; there are no stop points here (that is, it’s not like the rotary on the Olight Olantern Classic 2 Pro, for example. In normal use this is fine, but if you’re trying to dial in specifically to level 4 or whatever, it can be frustrating.

In Marauder mini, the Spot beam has been shaped in a circular pattern instead of a square compared to theMarauder 2.Unlike the Marauder 2, the Marauder Mini uses the signature magnetic charging system and also has a removable battery. The customised 6500 mAh 32650 lithium-ion battery is recharged inside the torch using the included MCC3 magnetic charging cable. Simply connect the magnet to the base of the torch and plug the USB end into a suitable USB adaptor (5 V 2 A recommended for fastest charging). The indicator light on the magnet will go red while charging is in progress and turn green once charging is complete after approximately 5 hours if the power supply is sufficient enough to support the 2 A output, otherwise the cable will output at a lower rate or 1 A or 1.5 A depending on the power supply. Note: The above data is measured in lab conditions, therefore results may vary due to environmental and heat dissipation conditions. The active thermal management system will decrease the output in Level 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 in flood, Level 7, 6, 5 and 4 in spot and Level 4 & 3 in RGB to protect the LEDs from overheating. It’s quite interesting that the TIR optics of the outer LEDs and the center LED with the convex shape are all made of 1 piece of plastic.

If you look at the 3 graphs, you see that L5 is actually doing the nices output from 25 minutes onward. It produces about 3500 lumens just short of 3.5 hours. Following the Marauder 2's lens design and composed of 9 LEDs surrounding the center, it enables sevenbrightness levels that provide 200-7000 lumens. A large round LED has been added to the center, offering a 600-meter spotlight beam.A built-in thermal sensor and cooling fins ensure safety in case of overheating and lens obstruction. Lamp Type: 1 x Central spot CW LED / 6 x flood CW LEDs / 1 x red LED / 1 x green LED / 1 x blue LED Uniformly Distributed RGB Color LEDs: Three RGB LEDs are uniformly distributed around the lens, greatly increasing its usefulness on any outdoor adventure. Olight must have considered several things during their research. Throw and Flood. The Marauder 2 can do both, but not at the same time. You either get extreme brightness with a very wide beam, or you get throw with a very narrow, but rectangular beam.A large circular LED sits in the centre of the head to enable an 600 m spotlight beam, and 6 smaller LEDs circle the edge in pairs to produce the 7000 lumen floodlight beam. Take the following graph with a grain of salt. It was using the ceiling bounce technique, but they should represent the actual runtime graph at least a bit. For reference, here’s a baseline shot, with all the room lights off and almost nothing hitting the sensor. Also, here’s the light with the worst PWM I could find. I’m adding multiple timescales, so it’ll be easier to compare to the test light. Unfortunately, the PWM on this light is so bad that it doesn’t even work with my normal scale, which is 50 microseconds (50us). 10ms. 5ms. 2ms. 1ms. 0.5ms. 0.2ms.In a display faster than 0.2ms or so, the on/off cycle is more than one screen, so it’d just (very incorrectly) look like a flat line. I wrote more about this Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight and explained a little about PWM too. User Interface and Operation There are two powerful beam options for this LED array: a spotlight beam of 600 meters max throw or a floodlight beam of 7,000 lumens max output from the 9 LEDs surrounding the central LED.Using a simple toggle switch, you can choose either spot or flood mode, and an intuitive rotary knob lets you choose from seven brightness levels. There’s a whole lot to love about the Olight Marauder Mini flashlight. Throw is fantastic, the output is good, and offering multiple levels of red or green or blue just makes the light extra fun! The unusual cell size (32650) does not bother me; I’m quite pleased that it’s possible to replace the cell. I do wish the Mini offered USB-C charging (and possibly a powerbank feature) as the Marauder 2 does. All in all, this one’s a big winner! Long Review The Big Table Olight Marauder Mini Flashlight

With the adjustable brightness level, you have just the perfect amount of light you need, whatever your situation calls for. The multi-colour RBG LED is beneficial in so many capacities. When you’re searching in the dark, working at a crime scene, or providing helpful service to someone in need, the RBG LED lights will illuminate your path without sacrificing your night vision. With its compact build, the Marauder Mini will be your go-to carry-on for any mission. All output numbers are relative for my home-made Integrating Sphere. It is set up with an Extech SDL400 Lux Meter for measurements including a Kenko PRO1D ND-16 filter. The base measurement is done with a Convoy S2+ that has been tested at 255 lumens. Because I did so many runtimes, I also did a bunch of charge tests, too. The charging indicator on the charge base is red while charging and green when charging is complete. It’s noteworthy that the indicator turns green WAY before the termination I’m displaying below. The cell seems to keep charging after the indicator turns green, so I just let it. In every test, the final voltage was 4.17V, so it doesn’t seem to be overcharging. This charger is a “charge base” style item, which connects to USB power on one end and magnetically to the (or “a”) flashlight. Olight has a ton of lights using this same connection, so if you’re already in, this won’t be a problem.

Measurement disclaimer: Testing flashlights is my hobby. I use hobbyist-level equipment for testing, including some I made myself. Try not to get buried in the details of manufacturer specifications versus measurements recorded here; A certain amount of difference (say, 10 or 15%) is perfectly reasonable. What’s Included There are 2 switches in place. 1 is for changing the beam from Flood to Throw, and the other is for turning the light on/off and changing output. Available modes: I can’t wait to talk about this flashlight. If you’re impressed with anything build by Lumintop, Fenix, Acebeam and the like, you will definitely be impressed with this one. You can, however, deactivate the proximity sensor, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless your application really gets screwed up by the sensor. Anyway, to deactivate the sensor do the following Compared to the Marauder 2, this light is more compact and holds a lighter weight at only 16oz, which comfortably fits in your hand and feels exceptionally balanced. In comparison to Marauder 2, what are the upgrades? Firstly. Marauder mini hasRGB light and a light color indicator.Secondly. A vibrating charge indication is available for the Marauder mini. And, It uses bottom magnetic for charging.Also. Spot beam shape changed from square to circular.
