weird, I think it's the same as mine from this thread https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,70228.0.html from awhile back, 2nd post, I know it has the PVD coating, but maybe you have the raw version

Possibly because mine was never that shiny :think: Either light looks pretty cool though :dd: :like:

Bummer to hear you've misplaced your light.  I did see the newer version but I was more interested in the newer Thrunite T10 v2.  That little light looks perfect for the keychain.  Can't wait to hear how this new light compares to the S1R.

After it charged I had to go and pick a trailer up from my dad :cheers: it is dark here so I brought the light with me :tu: when I got there I clipped it to the underside of the brim of my hat and turned it on high :o Turbo is a whole nother bright :ahhh but high is a very good light and we got the trailer hooked up without issue :salute:  I like the new clip on this model much better than the other one because it can be clipped both ways :cheers: The grip is nice but since I used it clipped it made no difference in this instance :dunno: Overall I am glad to have another S1R and will be sure to be much more careful and not lose this one :facepalm: :D

I lost my Mini somehow and really like it.
So I realized that the only way to find it is to order a new one and it is supposed to be here any day! :dunno:

Hoping that works for me but I have my doubts that the other will turn back up  :cry:

Hope it works for you though :tu:

TY

I carry the S1 in the front left of pic everyday in an older fenix holster, it's very small and light you don't even notice it. The beam profile is not as good as the rest of the lights, has a sloppy hotspot, not sure If I got a bad lens or they all look like that.

S1R is extremely bright and has good magnetic charger.
Smini in brass is solid but a bit heavy, has a nice warm beam

My BF Haul arrived Yesterday and here ia quick Glamour Shot!

The Pistol light is pretty amazing and way nicer than I expected for the price really!
The SMini is nicer than the original in most ways and brighter as well but.......

The tiny 1REOS is simply Mind Blowing :woohoo:
I was expecting just another 10810 clone like all the others that seemed to sprout last year but this thing seems much smaller and more nicely finished and smoother in operation than the others that I have seen or tried.
Truly a handy Keychain light and so small that I think anyone would appreciate it.

Liking that light on ball chain.  Its great when a light or lights deliver as expected and even more so when they put a huge grin on your face.  Glad this round of lights has done so.

The 1R3 is really bright for its size for sure  :tu: I have this one on my keys vs. Having it just clipped in my pocket like the I3E :cheers: so hopefully I will be able to keep this one  :tu:

That one is the Jetbeam not the Olight,sorry for the confusion.
The Olight just seems so much smaller to me.
The smaller the light the bigger small differences seem I think.

It's been one of my favorites for keychain use, just got another from the free offer from last week, it's only weakness vs the Jetbeam and similar clones is the non replaceable battery which may be a bad decision on Olights end when they all start failing

Yes, I am always skeptical about not being able to replace batteries in anything :ahhh but I have had good service and have seen so many good things form this company that I thought I could give it a try since I was ordering something else anyways :D Free is hard to pass up anyways :whistle: ;)

So if I get Christmas money this year ::) Hope I have been good enough :ahhh What is the best step up, size wise past  the S1R :think: I like the S2R and S30R but does anyone have any comparison pics of some of the bigger lights side by side :think: and if you have any pros and cons for these models :salute: :tu: Also the H1R and H2R :whistle:

The H2R may be out because of price and anything more expensive will be as well :facepalm: that is why I have went with those models mostly :cheers:

Well if we are just talking then M2R Warrior.  I also would thing the H2R would be serious upgrades.  That being said,  I understand costs.  I think the H1R would feel similar to your current light.  I think the larger S2R is just that, larger.  Any interest in Zebralight?

I have H1r and its great, very lightweight and floody, does not throw too far though. THere were some nice discounts a few months ago for H1r and H2r on amazon but I thought the H2r seemed too big and heavy for headlamp so I passed on it and went with the small guy. You may want to try a Skillhunt H03 first like $25-$30 so you can get an idea of the weight of 18650 headlamp, it's really good and not heavy.

Although, the Nitecore TM10k is pretty sweet too.
