OLIGHT Marauder Mini 7,000 Lumens Bright Flashlight with 600 Meters Beam Distance, Powerful RGB Lights, Magnetic Rechargeable for Outdoors Work, Hunting, and Searching (Orange)

I work as a caretaker for the USFS on the Oregon Coast. I don't have a casual relationship with my flashlight(s). I use them every single night often in gale-force winds and rain. A flashlight takes on new meaning in these dark and wet woods. I wanted to absolutely love this flashlight. But I can't. Here's what I like about it: 1) The build quality. 2) The output 3) the simple interface (that could have been horrible and complex given the light's multiple functions). 4) the spotlight function. Here's what I don't like: 1) The silicone grip. When it gets wet in the pouring rain, you'll think it's raining olive oil. 2) The flood is almost too wide and floody. See, there's flood and then there's FLOOD. It's the floodiest light I've ever owned and the 7000 lumen output never quite feels like 7000 lumens because the ultra-wide flood tries to light up 180 degrees and 50 acres around you at a time. 3) The RGB lights feel gimmicky to me. I didn't buy the light for the RGB lights and to me they are a rarely used function. 4) Then there's the SPOT function. I find the light's spot function almost too spotty. It's just like looking down a tunnel with a bright light at the end. So, I'm hard pressed to say why this light, of all my high-powered lights, is the one I take with me in the darkest, foggiest and stormiest nights in the Oregon woods.

Unfortunately I've returned two of these due to my own error. Three of thee perimeter lights are off under normal operation, I'd thought they were defective. The three lights are for red, green, blue mode which I didn't even know this had. You'd think a light would be simple to operate, but you'll need to refer to the manual just to figure out how to turn it on. Operational challenges aside, this is a great and well built light that is very bright. I've since purchased two more of this model and one of the even brighter. They are expensive, but I consider them worth the price. I love that they charge off a USB plug. Much better than my other bright lights.

Everything I wanted and sound excellent product

The Olight Marauder Mini is the latest in the Marauder line next to the larger (and more powerful) Marauder 2. In a way, it's the Marauder 2+ in therms of functionality, but it does not replace the larger sibling.The stubby giant is an impressive device with a price tag to match. For $200 you get a solid metal housing with a beautiful anodizing. I liked the black with blue accents, but ultimately decided on the more standout Orange. It's beautiful, and it's easier to find in the dark. A recent special of $130 was irresistible to me.One improvement of the Mini over the Marauder 2 is a pretty significant one. By making the battery a replaceable (large) standardized 32650, the longevity woes of the larger flashlight with a built-in battery are addressed. The housing is built for eternity and the battery should have an option to follow. The large diameter and plastic collar make it difficult to fit this giant into an external charger. The included USB adapter cable (with magnetic connector to the flashlight) works well, but is unique and when lost, you can't charge the battery (until you get a replacement). It is, however, the same interface as many other Olight flashlights and you may have a few of them. (That may not help when on a trip with the cable(s) left at home.)The other improvement may matter more to some than others. A new ability to provide Red, Green, and Blue light is a nice option—even if in my use there isn't much need for it. The activation of the different colors is the only thing about the user interface that feels like it got a secondary treatment. You hold the button after unlocking for like 3 seconds and the red LED turns on, repeat a press and hold and the green one takes over. You can probably guess how to activate the Blue. It's in sequence and always starts with white, then red, then green ... You cannot pre-select a color before turning the light on. You can, however, change the brightness just the same as the white light.A nice touch is the tactile feedback (buzz) when reaching the maximum or minimum brightness setting. In a way, that's not essential, but it adds to a well thought-out interface.Double tap the button and you switch between maximum brightness and 50%, regardless of which light color. And triple tap only works when in white flood mode, where it triggers a strobe light at maximum brightness. Do this in any other mode (color or spot) and the triple tap does nothing, not sure why. It sure feels overly restrictive and it would be nice if I could set a red strobe at half intensity for longer battery life. Just, that is not an option.The dial is a great interface idea and so is the self-locking (when off) with the 1/4 turn flick to unlock. That should prevent unintentional activation, but also takes some getting used to when trying to turn it on. The bars for battery charge level and brightness surround the dial. They are too dim to being useful in bright locations, but that's probably also when you don't need a flashlight. The center dot light up in the color chosen, but that's rather a gimmick since you can't pre-select a color and it's more or less to confirm the obvious.There is no moving part in this housing (aside from buttons), and the beam doesn't adjust by sliding the head/lens. The toggle switch alternates between a floodlight setting that activates the six outer white LEDs, and the spotlight setting, which disables those and enables the center LED. So you have the option between a wide coverage and a fairly narrow spot, but nothing in between. The claimed 7000 lumen (max) only applies to the flood setting, whereas the spotlight tops out at 900 lumen. That's a much smaller number than many of the lofty claims reaching a million lumen or more in other manufacturers. (It's fair to trust the Olight numbers more than the many "cheap" models flooding the market.) Either way, it's very bright and 50 Lumen is the minimum brightness. That's a very workable range, even if I miss a moon lighting mode (5 lumen) for situations when 50 is simply too much.The lanyard attachment seems out of place at first, but works just fine where it is. The holster is a nice accessory to keep the flashlight looking new longer.PS: During the special offer, I received a used flash light. It was fully functional but not declared used. It even had the previous owner's name tag on it (and none of the protective covers were in place anymore). As I don't know the reasons for it's initial return, Amazon was very easy to work with to get a new replacement. That was probably unnecessary, but at this price, I simply wanted to be sure.

I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. I was looking for a light that was capable, both as a general purpose, flood flashlight, but with the ability to pick out deer and other animals at a distance. This flashlight does both very well. I like the fact that there is a simple switch to go from flood to throw without having to cycle through some complex UI.If there is anything to complain about, it would be the size and weight of this light. It is not what you would call an everyday carry. It is fine for my purposes, but if you are considering this light understand that it will not fit in your pocket.The other criticism sometimes leveled at this brand is its commitment to magnetic wireless charging and proprietary batteries. If you are the kind of user that likes to charge your battery out of the light itself this is not for you.

Great quality rechargeable flashlight !
