Wow! where were these when i was in scouts? - Olight S1R II Baton Rechargeable Flashlight

Who rembers taking a Maglight that took 3-4 D batteries on camping trips? Big, heavy, bulbs burned out, really wasn't all that bright when it was said and done.

It's about the size of a shotgun shell. 3 brightness settings and a strobe mode. Double tap for max brightness. Triple tap for strobe. The on button will indicate charge with the stock rechargeable battery. It can work with CR123 if the provided battery runs out of charge. The CR123 does not work with the battery life indicator. It requires a special CR123 if you want to charge them. Olight's rechargeable battery isn't expensive. Battery life seems reasonable so far.

The base plate is magnetic and can stick to conducting metal surfaces for hands free operation. This plate is also how it charges. This method should almost certainly hold up better than USB or micro USB chargers, which are flimsy. The clip can attach in either direction and will function as a head lamp on a baseball cap.

It can easily fit in a pocket or small pouch. I'd recommend a lanyard or EDC pouch for pocket carry. It's small enough that it could easily be lost if dropped. A lanyard is provided. Blue or red might have been a better stock color if it falls on a car seat/floor. Copper and titanium is available at an increased price. Bling, but not necessarily added function. I could see using a larger version for camping, but this would be just fine as long as I don't require the longer battery life. Even then, I could bring an extra CR123 or two.
