Introduction to New Compact Flashlights
Olight has just announced their new addition to the flashlight market with the Baton series, designed for everyday use. These flashlights are not just small but pack a punch when it comes to brightness. The Baton 4 Pro boasts a 1,600-lumen output powered by a 15W LED, capable of reaching a throw range of 200 meters (656 feet). Meanwhile, the Baton Ultra ups the ante with an 1,800-lumen 18W LED, pushing the range to 300 meters (984 feet). Both models have impressive specifications that make them perfect for everyone, whether you are camping, working on projects, or just using daily. It’s pretty clear that Olight made these for convenience and power combined.
Design and Controls
- Side and tail switches for easy operation
- Side switch controls five brightness levels (turbo, high, medium, low, moonlight)
- Tail switch allows quick access to high and turbo modes, including momentary activation
What makes these flashlights user-friendly is their dual-switch setup. The side button makes it straightforward to toggle between all five brightness modes, allowing fine-tuning for various tasks. The tail switch is optimized for quick, one-hand access to the brightest settings, which is handy in emergency or fast-paced situations. Overall, the controls are designed for quick, intuitive use that even beginners will find easy to learn. These features combined create a seamless experience whether you’re a professional or a casual user.
Battery Life and Charging
The power source in these flashlights is a 3,500-mAh 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion battery. They are rated to last just over 198 minutes on turbo mode, which is quite impressive given their brightness levels. In the lowest moonlight mode, they can last up to 100 days, perfect for long-term outdoor use or inverter backup. Recharging is flexible with options for a hidden USB-C port or the magnetic MCC3 wireless pad that attaches to the tail for convenience. These features mean you can recharge the flashlight quickly and easily without any special tools or fuss. No more worrying about battery replacements or long downtime.
Build Quality and Durability
- The Baton 4 Pro body crafted from 6061 aluminum, drop tested at 1.5 meters

- Compact size less than 4.5 inches long for easy carrying

The Ultra employs a special O-Aluminum alloy, slightly stronger with a 2-meter drop test. Both flashlights feature textured patterns for anti-slip grip, making them less likely to slip from your hand during use, even in wet conditions. Compact and lightweight, they are easy to carry around without feeling bulky, making them the perfect companions for any outdoor or indoor adventure.
