OLIGHTBaton 4 Rechargeable EDC Flashlight, LED Light 1300 Lumens with Magnetic Charging Cable, IPX8 Waterproof for Home, Camping, and Emergencies (Black)

What I like about this Olight is that it's small, compact, and powerful. I can also clip it to my cap for hands free use. At full power, you get 1100 lumens. Though I never have to use this at all. Keep in mind that if you do, your battery will drain faster. But for the other settings, it's perfect. Great for camping and when you need just enough light to light up the tent area. At its lowest setting, it's perfect for reading a map or a book. Very versatile and compact, it's small enough to fit in my front pocket when ever I need it. The construction is really good quality. After I finish camping, I accidentally forgot I had it in my breast pocket of my flannel. Only after the wash and dry, I realized I forgot it was there. I turned it on and it was still working. I highly recommend this light for use at home, in the car, and camping.

I’ve been carrying a NiteKing M10 in my pocket for almost 10 years. It’s worn through several Cargo pant pockets (!) but it has served me well and is really bright, using a rechargeable EBL 14500 battery.Recently, I invested in a Micro Maxpedition EDC pocket pouch and have been able to add to my EDC carry list without too much bulk in my front pocket. Having the larger NiteKing in my pocket, in addition to the pouch, is impractical. I needed a much smaller flashlight. After a lot of research, I ordered the Baton 4 (in black/blue). It was a tough call at nearly $70 for such a tiny thing but, what a tiny thing! I was really tempted by the green/gold version. That looks gorgeous. However, I know this light will get dirty and scratched over time. Black is better in the long run..When I got the OLIGHT in my hand, it was even smaller than I’d imagined. It actually fits really well in my pouch because it is so small but I decided to keep it in my pocket as that makes it more quickly accessible, especially in the dark. I like the fact that you can easily lock the power button, with a long press when off. My NiteKing often warmed my leg before I realized it was on. I’ve already used the magnet on the end, to hold the flashlight above my bench in my unpowered garage. That feature is very useful and can even act as a retrieval magnet for dropped items when a cord is attached via the pocket clip. The double-bent pocket clip not only allows for clipping on a pocket flap, but for clipping on the peak of a cap, as a headlight. The light weight means the cap doesn’t drop down at all..The beam intensity and battery power LED indicators on either side of the power button are not visible when your thumb is on the button. They extinguish fairly soon after a button press and often, I look, see just my thumb, remove my thumb, and they are dark. Useful though. The power button has been reduced in height from the Baton 3. It is now almost flush with the body. That actually makes it harder to locate by feel. I’ve learned to feel for the pocket clip in my grip and the button is opposite that. I’d actually prefer a more tactile button, using the lock feature to avoid accidental operation. With gloves on, that power button is really tricky to find!.I’ve not used it long enough for the temperature control to kick in and kick down the brightness when in Turbo and High. Turbo is awesome. Even high is fantastic. Incredible when you consider the size of this light. Low and medium are often enough, though I must admit I love a bright white light when out in the dark. You have more time when that man-eating animal comes for you. 😊 Moonlight mode at 0.5 lumen is handy when you don’t want to disturb your partner, though you need dark-adjusted eyes for it to be really effective. The controls are easy to learn and operate..My photos were taken at Low, Medium, High, and Turbo. The tree is 60ft away and the garage doors, 130 feet away. The beam has a fairly large hotspot, but also a wide outer ring of light. My NiteKing has a much tighter beam and is not as bright. I guess that’s 10 years of development progress! 😉.I do like that I can have separate spare batteries for my NiteKing and can swap them out when the current battery is dying. As I understand it, you can still swap out for commercial versions of the Baton 4 battery but you can’t use the magnetic charger and charge in the flashlight. Not sure what other features also don’t work, maybe nothing else is affected. Only the OLIGHT proprietary battery allows that.I didn’t want to spend $100 for the charging case kit. $70 was enough and I’d be carrying a bulky charging case around with me. I already have a slimline, pocketable, INUI, 10,000 mAh, power bank..Overall, I am really pleased with the Baton 4. It’s proven well worth the money, especially since I won’t be wearing out pockets anymore! 😊

The OLIGHT Baton 4 blew me away with its performance and build quality. This little flashlight is insanely bright for its size—up to 1,300 lumens that easily light up a backyard or trail. It's perfect for everyday carry, camping, night walks, or keeping in a glovebox.What really sets it apart is the charging case—not only does it recharge the flashlight multiple times, but it also shows battery levels for both the light and the case. That’s next-level convenience, especially for travel or extended outdoor use. The magnetic base and side switch are classic OLIGHT features I’ve come to love, and they work flawlessly here too.The Baton 4 feels solid in hand, has a premium finish, and fits in any pocket or bag. Battery life is excellent, and the beam quality is crisp and wide.

This seems to be a very high quality light. I've only worn it for about an hour, but it clips on to my hat and stays secure, and has a magnetic end to stick to things as well. It appears to be well sealed, I wore it in the rain for half of that hour. Bright enough, and very compact. I'm not sure what real-world battery life is, but this appears to be able be able to replace a headlamp. I saw Dan Becker refer to it on YouTube and decided to try it. I may pick up another!

This flashlight is everything it claims to be. it's very reliable very very bright.. I'm a big flash light person and so far this is the best flight light I've ever owned. I lost my first one that was the same one just the older motel and only 1,200 lumen.. this would make a great gift for anyone over 18 only and I only say that because it's so bright that it could possibly do eye damage or burn someone or start a fire but does have a safety lock which is nice if you have young kids.. everything is very reliable from the stong magnet to the pocket clip very good quality metal and very nice color.. very recommended ...
