Recommendation S1R or RC09?

Nursie · Nov 6, 2016

Afternoon All
I'm torn between these two tiny lights
They booth look great and seem to have similar functions
Are there any strongly heal feelings as to which is better?
By better I mean more robust, better value for money etc
I like to be able to have my lights bezel down in my pocket, is this doable with the S1R?
Neither of these are cheap in the UK, and the weaker £ is unlikely to help
Thanks in advance for your help
take care

I'm biased towards the Olight since I love my S1. One major reason I'd pick the S1R is the moonlight level and the nice big hotspot from the TIR lens.

RC09. Have both the lights and the Fenix just has much more run time at the higher output levels and is a bit more solidly built. Mine has a very nice and unexpected neutral leaning tint. The built in charger on the Fenix is more stout than that of the S1R in my opinion as well.

I need to have a Moonlight mode which Fenix is determined to ignore as a feature for one?

Also the odd charging cable on the Fenix also puts me off some,it just looks like something they are going to have issues with down the road to me.

I would like to love the Fenix but those are the deal breakers for me.

Th S1R has almost double the output on highest mode, is that important to OP?

Thanks guys
The higher output did make my son go WOW
He is getting into this addiction
I think the S1R seems to take the lead so far
Thanks again for your help
Take care
