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

The flashlight's body surface is covered with 270-degree silicone for a more comfortable and stable grip. With the hidden lanyard hole design, the device can be easily stored, carried, and used on a regular basis. Smaller in size but still powered like a beast, the Marauder mini is a must-have for search & rescue, hunters, and all outdoor enthusiasts.

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. 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

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 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. 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. 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. Hover your mouse over any particular line to see data points! Or select a flashlight at the bottom of the graph to highlight that particular graph. (Are you on a mobile phone? Hold your phone horizontally).

Dual-beam with Spot and Flood: An array of LEDs offers two powerful beam choices: a 600-meter max throw from the central LED’s spotlight beam or a 7,000-lumen max output floodlight beam from the 9 surrounding LEDs. 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: That being said: I couldn’t measure output in Flood mode in an integrating sphere, since the sensor senses the object (integrating sphere) and therefore reduces the output directly. (Now I can though with the sensor turned off). So I couldn’t measure lumens and runtime the normal way. Only after doing some crazy testing, and errors, I realized that the proximity meter only is used for the Flood settings. booo.After quite a bit of trouble, trial, and error, I learned that you can actually turn off the proximity sensor. So I repeated the test, and these are the numbers. They are slightly lower than done by the ceiling bounce test. I still trust these more than the ceiling bounce test I did before. Mode Turning this light on was a bit of a struggle. Instead of a push switch it has a dial + push switch. I had to read the manual to understand how to turn it on… men don’t read manuals you know. Unlike the Marauder 2 (or “M2”), this little loop does not seem to flip out and in the photo above is as exposed as it gets.

This is not the end of the world. It’s very nice that it’s even possibleto change the cell, even if we’re required to buy one directly from Olight. I am also pleased that this light runs on a singlelithium-ion cell; any configuration of series or parallel just adds more complexity than I often like to fool with. (That said, cells in series or parallel is exactly why a light like the bigger Marauder 2 has the cells built in…) It's a powerful rechargeable dual-beam LED flashlight with both flood and throws. Following the Marauder 2's lens design and composed of 9 LEDs surrounding the center, it enables seven brightness levels that provide 200-7000 lumens. A large round LED has been added to the center, offering a 600-meter spotlight beam. The Marauder 2 is 8% longer (so, not longer by that much), 17% wider at the head and at the body (ok, 17% is a bit more), and finally, 61% heavier (ok, this is very noticeable). On the other hand, the Marauder 2 has double the brightness of the Marauder Mini, and 200 meters (or 50%) more throw. But the Marauder Mini has a RGB LEDs, as well as vibration indicator for when you reach minimum and maximum outputs. It is compatible with Olight's MCC3 magnetic charging cable. It's convenient for charging. You don't have to worry about battery usage at any time, anywhere. It only takes about 4 hours from empty to full. 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. Three RGB color LEDs are uniformly distributed around the converging lens, making it suitable for use on any occasion.

The following runtime shows the highest output in Throw mode, in Candela, not lumens. This is probably a more important datapoint than lumens for this setting. 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. 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.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. Some people complained about the rectangular beam, and it’s probably because they aren’t used to it. I think our perception of a beam is usually round. It’s not like the imperfect beam of most zoomable/focusable flashlights. The LED for throw is in the center behind a convex shaped lens. The outer ring of LEDs are in the outer ring behind TIR optics. In the flood setting, the beam is really wide and smooth. I don’t really know what kind of LEDs they are.
