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 There is yet 1 more switch, and that one is for switching between flood and throw. The center LED is actually used separately from the LEDs on the edge of the flashlight. I like that idea to have this option. The single LED has a much longer runtime as well. But anyway, the flood/throw switch is located below the knob. It’s pretty easy to operate in the dark. Powered by a customized 24Wh 32650 rechargeable lithium battery, it offers an extended runtime. The tail cap of the Marauder Mini can be removed, unlike the Marauder 2. That means thecell can be replaced, so it can be used again and again.

Sometimes, features are a problem. One of the things I never encountered before is a proximity sensor inside a flashlight. I am usually not very fond of this type of feature, but I actually appreciate it, because it’s a safety feature. It reduces the output when an object is close to the flashlight. This could be a person, but it could also be your bag! In Marauder mini, the Spot beam has been shaped in a circular pattern instead of a square compared to theMarauder 2. A fantastic torch for outdoor ventures, hunting, search and rescue, marine navigation, and much more. 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. The light does shut off with low voltage protection, and the stepdowns seem to approximate what Olight’s manual claims. ChargingNote: 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. For Spotlight lumens, I used the integrating sphere for this. My measurements were quite a bit higher than the specifications. Marauder 2 Spot: Levels 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…) 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.

Miniature and Powerful] Smaller than the previous Marauder series flashlights but with both flood and throw dual-beam LED flashlights, must-have for search and rescue, hunters, and all outdoor enthusiasts Olight includes a nice stretchy holster for the Marauder Mini. It fits in one direction and the light shouldn’t be used while inside.White and RGB Light Combo]This flashlight is composed of 9 LEDs surrounding the center, enabling 200-7000 lumens at seven brightness levels; Three RGB color LEDs are uniformly distributed around the converging lens, making it suitable for use on any occasion 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. 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.Three RGB colour LEDs are uniformly distributed around the converging lens, making it suitable for use on any occasion. 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. A red indicator LED will show when the light is running out of battery. Also, the output will decrease when the battery is running low.
