OLIGHTMarauder Mini 7,000 Lumens Bright Flashlight with 600 Meters Beam Distance, Powerful RGB Lights, Magnetic Rechargeable for Outdoors Work, Hunting, and Searching(Black)

I learned of the Mini after scouring the internet for a powerful, well-regulated and quality flashlight that offered beam colors other than white. I love Acebeam and considered getting their L19 with a green OSRAM emitter, but didn’t want to be limited to a pure thrower experience with no flood option. Reviews of the Mini were positive, and although I have mixed feelings about Olight’s proprietary batteries and magnetic charging system, I took the plunge and ordered it.My first impression was how hefty this light is. The 32650 cell and thick aluminum housing result in a light that weighs well over a pound. I love this, though—the weight, shape and design simply feels fantastic in the hand.Finally, the beam: The central emitter projects a tight beam with almost no spill that reveals objects hundreds of feet away; the six small emitters surrounding that provide a brilliant, 180 degree flood experience; finally, the remaining three RGB emitters provide a beautiful, rich flood of red, blue or green depending on your selection. Since you’re limited to one emitter for these colors, they’re not as bright as their white counterparts, but are still amazingly bright in dark or near-dark conditions.I will continue to use the Mini to see how the proprietary cell performs. I understand that OLight uses boost or buck drivers in the Mini which gives me confidence in having sustained lumen output during use.

Unfortunately I've returned two of these due to my own error. Three of thee perimeter lights are off under normal operation, I'd thought they were defective. The three lights are for red, green, blue mode which I didn't even know this had. You'd think a light would be simple to operate, but you'll need to refer to the manual just to figure out how to turn it on. Operational challenges aside, this is a great and well built light that is very bright. I've since purchased two more of this model and one of the even brighter. They are expensive, but I consider them worth the price. I love that they charge off a USB plug. Much better than my other bright lights.

I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. I was looking for a light that was capable, both as a general purpose, flood flashlight, but with the ability to pick out deer and other animals at a distance. This flashlight does both very well. I like the fact that there is a simple switch to go from flood to throw without having to cycle through some complex UI.If there is anything to complain about, it would be the size and weight of this light. It is not what you would call an everyday carry. It is fine for my purposes, but if you are considering this light understand that it will not fit in your pocket.The other criticism sometimes leveled at this brand is its commitment to magnetic wireless charging and proprietary batteries. If you are the kind of user that likes to charge your battery out of the light itself this is not for you.

Well, what can I say? This flashlight bestows a veritable biblical magnitude of illumination into one's hand. I find myself irresistibly tempted to utter, "Let there be light," before engaging the actuator button.I acquired this light to equip myself for those instances when I must investigate the proverbial thing that goes bump in the night. The first time I ventured into my darkened yard with this device, I was astounded by the level of illumination in floodlight mode. It quite literally illuminated my entire front yard, which spans approximately 50 yards (or 100 cubits). I am uncertain who was more astonished by this brilliance—myself, or the three raccoons busily raiding my bird feeders. The sheer magnitude of light convinced them, without further persuasion, to abandon their efforts and vanish into the dark perimeters of my field of flashlight brilliance.After recovering from my initial surprise, I switched the device to spotlight mode out of curiosity. With childlike delight, I swept the penetrating beam across everything in the surrounding area. This, unfortunately, resulted in a telephone call from my neighbor who resides more than a hundred yards away. Evidently, the light penetrated their windows, startling them enough to inquire if anything was amiss.In summary, I am profoundly impressed with this light's performance. Its incredible brilliance is coupled with a reasonable battery life in both spot and flood modes. The ability to vary the level of brightness and select multiple output colors is greatly appreciated. If I were to point to a single drawback, it would be the cost. This is not an inexpensive item, but in the realm of quality tools, you indeed get what you pay for. This is a quality tool and well worth the price.
