*new* Olight S1 - XM-L2, (R)CR123

[firsttothescene]

Is end fully tightened? Did you try another battery? Does battery have a clear seal over it?

 

[ncristia]

tightened has much as possible tried 3 new fully charged batteries no seal on batteries. Thank you for he quick responses.

For those weight watchers out there, I took some quick measurements

Empty with pocket clip - 30g / 1.058oz
Surefire primary CR123 and pocket clip - 47g / 1.657oz
Empty without pocket clip - 25g / 0.881oz
Surefire primary CR123 without pocket clip - 42g / 1.481oz

I don't have any 16340's on hand at the moment, sorry guys.

Also, another user had asked that I take an amperage reading at maximum output, and I got around 1.8 amps, even fluctuating as high as 1.9 amps
A little worrying seeing as primary CR123's can safely put out around 1.5amps continuously.

I just ordered one of these to throw into the EDC mix. Lots of good info here I can't wait for it to arrive!

Great light. I want to like it. But a clip that sticks out like 1/3 as wide as the entire light itself? Can't get over that.

I like my clips. Loose in the bottom of a pocket, turning sideways? Even worse!

Nice flush screw-on deep carry clip would have been perfect.

Unfortunately that happens with all/most manufacturers. I don't expect them to spend the time to scrap an emitter just because it's not the same as another, but it would be nice! I really like consistency, which is a total curse for this hobby!

Yeap, thanks for your comment. But it is really wierd that manufactures of these LED's can't really do that consistency you are talking about Bodies of the flashlight can look pretty much the same with every peice, but they can't manage LED's and it is just a lucky pick, if you get more neutral white or more cool white LED on the same flashlight I have noticed that also the beam dispersion is pretty much different on every single of my Olight S1... one is more spread, second is more focused, some of them are not centred well enough. Nonetheless, I just love this little light

Just Pre Ordered a Bead Blasted Ti S1 Neutral from Going Gear.

$71.16 out the door with coupon code ... SPOOKINESS

Nice looking light.

^Jealous. If you have access to a decent scale, any chance you could weigh it? Uncle Sam doesn't seem to care how heavy our gear is, so whatever personal items we take like flashlights and knives, I like to try to find the absolute lightest I possibly can, in what is probably a futile attempt to save my back and knees, haha.

Love this light. Will wait for the copper version. Does anybody know when it'll be available.

Nice. Pricey though. It should come down

Flip the clip around. I also tried to straightened the end of mine and it snapped off. Shorter now

Why is the output of the ti light 480 lumens? (Battery junction site)

 

[gunga]

Neutral tint LED has slightly lower output.

 

[firsttothescene]

Going gear says neutral white yet lists 550 lumens? (Ti)

 

[firsttothescene]

Neutral tint LED has slightly lower output.

battery junction states it is cool white

 

[gunga]

The official olight world site lists 480. Battery junction has the wrong description at times. Note that the dealers are just cutting and pasteing from the alloy version. The olight official specs are relatively new.

oh OK, thank you.

It'll be interesting to compare the new versions to the original. Neutral white and different materials on an already excellent design is pretty exciting!

On an unrelated side note, I just got some RCR123A's to feed my S1. I hope the reduced runtimes don't affect my usage much.
