OK despite me saying I wasn't going to buy anymore the new Olight S Mini Cu arrived today.

The smallest cr123 light around (I think) and packs a pretty hefty 550 lumens.

Last photo is a comparison with the S1

Got a few new ones lately:

Nitecore Thumb - great dual color light with an articulated head and a pocket clip. I was hoping that one of the main LEDs was red, but it's still very useful.

Streamlight 1L/1AA - they call it the "Dual Fuel" and, while the output is noticeably different between the two batteries, it's nice having the option.

Streamlight Polytac LED and HP - tough polymer lights with very good brightness and multiple modes. Lightweight too.

Great looking light.  I have been so tempted by Olights offerings namely the rechargeable ones.

I've got this light.  Very bright for a AAA.  I love the clip as I can use the light on my hat as an impromptu head lamp.

Sigh.

My latest is a LED lenser automotive, kindly sent to me by Kampfer in the 2016 secret santa.

It now lives in my car plugged into the socket for when I need it

Tell me about it  :facepalm:

To be fair though the Ti S Mini seems to be about the same weight as a couple of my AAA lights (Olight Cu and Fenix 15th)

This maybe the coolest tiniest thing I ever got, jetbeam mini micro usb rechargable next to what I thought was the smallest thrunite T01

sorry if the pics stink, its kind of dark out and I had to shrink them and email them to myself, will post some better shots tomorrow, with my regular camera, and with a sak so you can get a feeling for the size of this thing, for $22 its well worth it, 130/8 high/low lumens, that gift tin, split ring, spare o ring, chain and battery included

My first Olight, the S1A just landed. Impressive output with a 14500. I like the simple UI too.



I was so impressed, I might have ordered a S Mini Cu to keep it company...  :angel:

I had a yellow/black Olight I3e with a clip that Zoid had sent me but unfortunately it decided to grow legs and walk off :facepalm: I really liked that light so I ordered a silver one and it arrived over the weekend and I am very happy with it :cheers: The site said that the silver one put out 120 lumens vs. the 90 the other colors put out but I have no way to compare it but I am happy with it nonetheless :like:

All these lights in this thread are awesome and I wished I came in here more to check them out :tu:
