I have an Olight S1 which I got in 2016 (serial number starts with G), and an S2 which I got in 2017 (serial number starts with H), and I was surprised to find that there are some subtle differences in the UI. I'm wondering if it's a 2016 vs 2017 difference or S1 vs S2 difference. If anybody else has an S1 or S2 I'd be interested in knowing which year it was made and which way yours behaves. You can tell which production year you have from the first letter of the serial number. Here are the differences between mine:

2016 S12017 S2
Turning OffImmediate on release of buttonDelayed ~1/2 second
Double-click for highAs soon as button is depressed 2nd timeDelayed ~1/2 second
3 minute timerlong then 1 short blink1 short blink
9 minute timerlong then 2 short blinks
2 short blinks
Number of modes,
excluding moonlight
3
4

Most of these changes don't matter, but I have to say I don't care for the delay in turning off.

(edited to add row for number of modes)

Both my S1's and my S2 follow your table exactly. All three serial #'s start with G.

I also did the same test on my oldest S1A about a year old maybe a little more it's also a G. It acts like an S2.

Thanks, that's really useful. It seems like it's a difference by model and not by when it was made.
