OLIGHT Marauder Mini 7,000 Lumens Bright Flashlight with 600 Meters Beam Distance, Powerful RGB Flashights, Rechargeable MCC3 Magnetic Charging for Outdoor, Hunting, Searching (Orange)

I have had my Olight mini marauder since Dec 2023 and it has been a great flashlight. It does get pretty warm if you run it on high for more than a few minutes but I love the brightness this light puts off and I really love the option of being able to toggle between floodlight and spotlight with one switch. I like the size and weight & It's built very durable. I've had it for 8 months now and it's still amazing but the charger not so much. About two months after purchasing it, I noticed the light on the magnetic charger would stay green and not turn red (charge) even when the battery was depleted. I have to slide it off and on and sometimes move the cable around before it will turn red and start to charge, but even then it usually turns back to green pretty quickly. I have it plugged into a proper outlet, so I know it's not due to low voltage. I have read online several other people have experienced this same issue with their chargers. I think the charger should be built with the same quality as the flashlight since it is a pricey flashlight. It wouldn't be a problem if it didn't require the special magnetic charger. The company should consider going to a common one such as USB-C or work the bugs out of the current one. I hope I can find a replacement and that it doesn't come defective as well.

Very bright! Charges quickly. Haven't tested charge duration, nor estimated beam throw distance. Strobe function should prove helpful for defense, or to signal location. I may find it useful for search and rescue, as well as warning oncoming traffic while working vehicle accidents as a volunteer firefighter. Not clear from the instructions, but to activate the strobe function, the switch must be in the "floodlight" position (found out from email from Olight Co.) . Color functions should help preserve night vision and may be helpful for signaling. Construction is very robust (and HEAVY!), so it should last. Haven't tested water resistance. Bought as part of promotional offer and "on sale". Agonized over purchase price-MIGHT buy again if 'on sale'. Its got to last!

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.

The media could not be loaded. I really wasn't sure if I would like this light I have a few O-Lights and this is just a bada$$ hot-rod. It's just amazlying featureful packed full of goodness!! For starters it comes in 🍊, it's big but not massive like the full size Marauder 2, the hapatic feedback on the switch is great let's me know if it's at full brightness or minimum, 10sec from off lockout mode is a plus and very convenient, it's easy to unlock and adjust or switch settings just spin the switch and click, the single thrower led has a white hotspot with almost a green ring around it I guess from the lens,the flood is just great in low or max, the rgbs are just plain fun, the battery is huge and replaceable, which is something I did not like with the design of the original Marauder 2, the switch has led indicator bars around half of it one side for lumen output and the other side for battery level, the threads are well greased and double O-ringed, loud clicky spot or flood switch, comes with a lanyard charging cable and holster, the light is just solid all the way around I just can't find anything I don't like about it. Tbh I want all the colors thank you for having a Great Black Friday price deal! I am very satisfied with my purchase of the Marauder mini it's like 5 flashlights in one very usable in all modes, I love it. The video is just a quick mode switch because cars were passing by.

Extremely bright with a lot of battery capacity. Choices of flood, spot or red, green, blue light makes this and all around contender. It is smaller than I imagined, and the weight is concentrated in the handle/battery compartment rather than in the head. The carrying case that fits on the belt is handy, but would’ve preferred a hard plastic clip rather than two Velcro pieces that can be awkward or may fall short in bigger applications or when the Velcro wears out I am just nitpicking. I would recommend this light as a first choice, unless you needed something lighter and more concealable.
