To start, this light take the place of it's older brother the S1R Baton I and never leaves my pocket (except use you hair splitters!).

From doing a night op for that late night snack (moon light mod), on to clearing your house due to a bump in the night, on to just needing light for when your battery takes a dump in your work parking lot - This light has not left me wanting.

I didn't expect a powerhouse, yet I did expect a decent throw, good features, and the ability to withstand my daily punishment - and this light did so with ease (the S1R Baton I lasted 3 years... before I lost it, sad day).

TLDR - This light checked all MY boxes for an EDC light and is the first light I recommend to anyone looking to upgrade from their Streamlight micro or even if it's their first EDC light! If you're on the fence, just get one!

I have not had one until the charity sell for COVID-19, I am upset that I went to long without having more. This is without a doubt the greatest EDC light ever; it’s a perfect size and has a lot of power.

This thing is baller. I carry in my hunting bag as a backup, have used it blood trailing deer and bringing my squirrel dogs out of the woods. The reverse clip makes it hat bill compatible. Run time is great, and the modes of light emission are perfect. Home run on this model.

I have carried this light almost daily for over a year and it is my go-to for all kinds of situations. It is extremely well made down to the the thoughtfulness of the clip - carry it up or down. I am very happy with Olight and since have purchased a Valkyrie - love it too!

This is the best sub compact light on the market! Durable, versitile, and the magnetic charging is very cool.

This light has been thrown off plenty of ladders, gone in the ocean, lake, river, been lost in the forest (then found). The point is that it’s a amazing light and I use it for work as well edc. It’s a crazy light and I’m in love with it. I also would recommend carrying it in the pocket with a magnet facing down...it’s very powerful and if you work around metal it comes off quick.

This is a great EDC light, the compact size & big output is just great. Love the ease of recharging with the magnetic tail cap is just an added bonus. Highly recommend this light.

I have 7 or 8 of these in various finishes. All have performed perfectly, not a single issue with batteries or charging. I have one in every car, in my go bag, and in a couple rooms in the house on docking stations. I gave a few out as gifts for x mas and got great feedback from the family. I typically used Streamlight previously, but these little buggers from o-light are just too good.

Well built. Incredibly bright for such a small package. The pocket clip is strong. It stay put in your pocket. The built in cap clip is a nice touch. The limited edition brown is sharp looking. This is my go to EDC Flashlight.

So bright for such a small light.

I own several of these and are my favorite pocket carry edc lights. I’m not a clip to my pants type of guy for lights so absolutely love the size to just throw in the pocket. And don’t let the small size fool you because it packs a big punch. Can’t begin to tell you how many times I use this light. Love the output and size plus the convenience of magnetic charging.

Awesome edc light. Super bright and fits perfectly in 5th pocket of jeans

Awesome edc light. Super bright and fits perfectly in 5th pocket of jeans

Perfect size for any gentlemen out there that enjoy wearing their gear in an inner coat pocket. Concealable and elegant

I am a light hoarder and have many many lights!! From MagLite to Surefire to Streamlight, Nitecore, ect.... This was my first Flight and I am very impressed with this little guy... It now holds the top spot in the pocket of my EDC backpack... Which used to belong to a Nitecore MT1A... I have been so pleased with the light I bought two more! The mag charging system is so convenient and great for a light that I can't believe no one had done it before... Except Apple and on laptops :-)

Best light I've purchased period. 0 complaints

i have the S1R Baton II Its a amazing light for its size. I EDC this light everyday and use it every day, one thing i have found if the black coating is coming off but i like it better,

I first purchased the S1R Baton I, loved it until I saw the S1R Baton II with 1,000 lumens and the magnetic charge that snaps to the light just by getting close to the cord on my desk. I use it everywhere, camping, inspections of homes, attics and crawls, even looking under the couch for missing grandkid toys. It just clips to my hat as a headlamp. The electronic button lock is perfect for making sure it doesn't come on in my pocket. It's so amazing I just put 4 more of them in my shopping cart for Christmas gifts for my boys.

A buddy at work told me about Olights system and I gotta say it's pretty nice. We work in an industrial environment with a lot of grinding, welding, and confined/enclosed spaces, so it's necessary to have a dependable light source. If they secure the lights... It's not a place you want to do a blind egress.
Pros:
Compact
Knurling and lanyard help with not dropping it.
Easy to recharge (you DONT have to remove the cell to place in a base. Plug in your cord and bring your round end close to the butt on the s1r, then, just let the magic of science do its thing).
Battery indicator light
Good output

Cons:
I get grinding grit sticking (naturally) to the magnet but usually a small piece of duct over the butt end alleviates... I will most likely 3d print some covers to see how it does.
Could use an option for a slightly larger or textured pwr switch for use with gloves.

The perfect light for every day use, with the clip and the amount of light such a small light puts out!

Pros:
The S1R Baton 2 fills my hand perfectly and is comfortable in use. It is just slightly longer than the width of my palm which helps it to stick out just barely. This helps me feel like I have a secure grip on it and don't have to worry about it coming out. The length and weight have also made it a great carry in my pocket. I also like the knurling on the body. It could be a little bit more aggressive for me but not by much. This texture helps to make sure I have a good grip without feeling like my hands are going to get shredded. Next up is the rechargeable magnetic base which is hands down the best option for a rechargeable flashlight in my opinion. Another feature that I have grown to appreciate is the small power indicator that is in the center of the side button. As I sit here I actually need to recharge my flashlight and I know thanks to that light. The magnetic aspect is also a great asset as it allows me to attach it when I really need some light. I have used it quite a lot recently as I have worked on projects around the house and it was right at my side.


Cons:
The biggest drawback in my opinion is the battery situation. A custom 18650 provides all the power that the S1R Baton 2 could need but it is also an uncommon battery. Even with CR123 lights I can just keep a couple of spare batteries in my bag because they aren't incredibly expensive, but I don't like paying $20 for a special battery just to have a back up. Obviously, if you keep it charged you shouldn't have too much of a problem but this is definitely a draw back in my opinion. The next big issue I have is just the price point. I have bought all of my Olight products on sale so that has helped me a ton but I really don't want to pay $70 for a flashlight. I am not saying the quality is not there but it is one of those mental things where everyone has to decide a their limit. Lastly, at first I didn't really mind the clip, however, after carrying it for quite a while I have noticed that there is not quite enough tension to keep it from getting snagged out of my pocket. There have been several times where my keys caught the light and pulled it out. The design is still fine to me, most of the time I can catch it before it gets to late but this has happened enough for me to notice.


Conclusion:
In all reality, I am not lying when I have said that this has been in my pocket for the last few weeks. I saved this one for my last review of full sized lights I have picked up because I wanted to spend more time with it. It has been a constant companion and will almost certainly continue to be in my pocket for the foreseeable future. It definitely has a couple of drawbacks but ultimately I really find it a great tool that has served its purpose. I found that I started using a flashlight far more often than I expected once I started carrying one and this light has been a workhouse, which is why I have had to recharge it a few times.

I recently purchased the S1R Baton II. This light is AWESOME!!! This is my go to EDC light. The size of this light is perfect. Don’t let the small size fool you, this thing is super bright (1,000-lumen output).

I have used this light everyday for over 3 months and have had ZERO issues. Olight’s quality is unmatched.

This light also comes with the MCC charger which is compatible with all existing Olight rechargeable flashlights and headlamps. If you are thinking about purchasing this light, DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

Nothing to say that hasnt already been said. This light is awesome. Like everything about it. Its output, size, hands free capability, etc.etc.

I can't say I don't like anything about this thing. I got a batch of crap batteries because I didn't buy directly from Olight. Otherwise, I don't see myself running around without this thing in my pocket, ever. Charger is awesome, it finds the light, charges in a hurry, and is a dang good quality cable (from USB end to the quite angry mag end).

I got this light for free during the Veterans Day event for spending over $200 (hi I’m Cody and I have a flashlight addiction lol) anyways...I love it! Among other things, I got the s2r baton ii for my edc, and this s1r baton ii is slightly slimmer and about half the length. My wife snagged it and keeps it in her purse at all times. She loves it and says the moonlight, 12, and 60 lumen settings are most useful to her. Great product olight!

What not to love. Perfect amount of lumens, great size, easy to recharge. I've carried this everyday for over a year, love it.

Small compact with powerful punch anther awesome product

I bought two in the tan color, love the color, so rich and vibrant, I mentioned it to several people, I know of at least one person, that followed my advice, so when Olight had their Baldr Pro bundles and seen that I could get two more in black, I went for it without hesitation, they will be added to my plate carriers and chest rig's. Keep up the good work Olight, my credit cards keep telling me no, but my mind keeps telling me yes.

I personally love this little thing. I couldn't believe how bright it was once I first got it charged up. It's so light and compact that I can clip it the bill of my hat to go hands-free with out it being obtrusive. My wife on the other hand HATES it for the fact that I want to purchase several more!

I was eager to get my hands on the new design s1r 2. My only complaint about the original s1r is the clip moving around makes it hard to find the button. I think Olight almost got it right on the s1r 2... but the s1r 2 doesn't index comfortably in the hand with the clip in the fixed position. If it was rotated 90° it would fit my hand much better. It's uncomfortable to operate the switch, basically pushing against the clip.

Purchased this for my elderly mother and she loves it. Its light, compact and bright enough for when she needs it. I definitely plan to purchase a few more to have around the house.

Great light, my whole family like it. Every one try to grab it and keep in the pocket. I should and will buy more of Olight when comes next sale.

I absolutely love these little stubby flashlights for edc. I have a few lager ones as well, but these are my favorites. I don’t go anywhere without one.

I have been carrying one every day for more than 7 months and simply put, I cannot bear to be without this flashlight. Adding a flashlight to my EDC was always a want, and this flashlight made it a necessity.
Now I own two of them, and my wife does as well!

The S1R Baton II is the absolute perfect pocket flashlight. The battery life is more than acceptable and the magnetic charging is super easy. Adding an L-dock for convenience makes it even better. The light this thing puts out is ridiculous for something this size! Turbo mode is fun to use in spurts but even in medium or high mode the light is more than adequate for almost any task. Moonlight mode is great for moving about the house at night to avoid disturbing others.

The two-way clip is especially helpful. Clip the light onto a hat and you have a ready made, kickass headlamp. I will never venture into the attic again with out my S1R.

The quality of the flashlight cannot be overstated. The output, beam and color are exactly what I wanted. The machined exterior is just right - an added bonus is it begs to be fiddled with in the pocket. The texture just feels right when you run your fingers over it. After 7 months of every day carry in my pocket, I am happy to say the thing still looks brand new.

I literally use this flashlight every day. I recently received a second one during the Elite sale, and I can honestly say I can barely tell the difference between the one I carry every day and the new one out of the box.

Personally I will never hesitate to purchase from or recommend Olight to anyone. Buying from them is an enjoyable experience, and this purchase was absolutely perfect. Very happy!

I have tried/carried numerous lights for my EDC as a manufacturing engineer. For troubleshooting, part inspection, and assisting maintenance on breakdowns this light excels. The build quality and machining rivals other big names. The interface and charging are great. My only regret was not buying this light sooner.

This light is comfy in the hand, it's lightweight and the rubberized texture adds grip without being too soft and spongy. It will easily cover my back yard In a couple passes back and forth with very bright and clear lighting. The chargers are very convenient and come in handy when you own a few lights. Very good quality product.

Brightest small light I have owned. Many well engineered features. My favorite carry light. You will not be disappointed in this purchase.

I am an admitted flashaholic and I have spent far too much on flashlights over the years. I am knowledgeable about a wide variety and about multiple brands of flashlights. I highly recommend the Olight S1R Baton II as a rugged and reliable every day carry flashlight. All Olights are well built lighting instruments and the S1R Baton II is no exception. This little powerhouse has all of the power that I need in every situation. I love the multiple lighting levels, the various flashing modes as well as the ability to recharge this light with the included magnetic USB tail cap charger. The turbo setting that outputs 1000 lumens is very impressive for a light of this compact size. If you are looking for a bright, rugged, reliable and versatile EDC light then this is the fine lighting instrument for you.

I've had a lot of other lights in the past, thrunite, nitecore, even an old foursevens quark pro.

None of them were as feature loaded and compact as the baton II, nor did they have the same level of lumens. I love the magnet charging system and the fact that the end of the light is magnetized so I can pop it on a metal surface to get my hands free.

Worth every penny.

I've had my S1R2 for almost a year now and it's hands down my most used EDC tool. Long Alaskan winters need reliable lights. Between a rechargeable battery via tail-cap, 2 direction clip, user friendly UI, plenty bright for any task and small enough to fit in my coin/watch/flashlight pocket, it doesn't get much better. This is a perfect EDC light.

Small enough to keep in a front pocket every day.

Low-Medium-high, plus
Very Low and Very High.

Turns back on at last Low-Medium-high.
Press and hold for very low (5 lm)
Tap twice for Very High (1000 lm)
Tap 3 times for strobe

Easy charging with magnetic base. Replaceable rechargeable battery.

I received this light for free as part of my order during the Elite sale which was a great bargain for spending only $199.99.. I literally use this light everyday at work as a QC inspector at the only new nuclear power plant being built in the U.S. right now. It's magnetic base is so useful when I need my hands free.

Honestly I love this light. It’s very very handy and personally I thinks it’s the perfect edc flashlight

Very high quality and packed with features I've never seen in a light this small. Perfect for clipping onto a sun visor or stowing in a small dash compartment in your car.

Honestly, I purchased a S1R II in copper a while back. My wife used it one time and I never saw it again. She confiscated it! So, I recently purchased the S1R Baton II to replace the one my wife STOLE from me. There really is nothing like it on the market. Believe me, I tried to carry a cheaper light for a week and I was very disappointed. The ONLY light I will carry now is Olight!

Five *

used to be a Nebo light guy! NOOOO more, brightest little light! Just changed my brand for ever!! all of them are well made and heavy! great craftsmanship! I bought 4 different lights during your sale!!!!!

You bet bang for your buck with this flashlight.

The best edc light in the market . High quality, easy to operate , and very powerful . I used it every day ( drop it every day ) and haven’t fail me .

Amazing light! Durable and settings for every situation. Love it! The beam is perfect.

I love my sr1 baton 2 , it’s perfect to clip on your pocket and go about your day and it throws a lot of light for a small package

I bought this flashlight back in November of 2018 and I have been carrying everyday since then I use flashlight everyday and it is one of the best flashlights I've ever owned I would recommend any of these flashlights to anyone they're the best on the market that I've ever seen and the prices are awesome especially when you get them during one of their sales

This is in my Top 3 EDC lights along with the the S2R Baton II and the M2T. It also makes the perfect gift. And since they are available in so many colors, they are fun to collect. I think I have everyone so far: all four seasons, solid copper, and black. I love the magnetic charging base. The magnet is strong enough and the light is lightweight enough that you can stick it to a vertical metal surface to use as a work light (that goes for the S2R Baton II as well!). Highly recommended for EDC, collectors, and as gifts!

Love this and all the other light I bought from Olight... I could easily give it a 5 Star review if the Archs/Engineers develop a "one sided magnetic" plate or cover that would adhere magnetically to the charger cap yet be non-magnetic on the opposite side so every iron/steel object in my pocket or car console would stop sticking to it hahaha :)

I am very pleased with how bright this light is. Love the magnet recharge.

Easy to keep in the pocket and bright. Easy to use.

I use this everyday. I got it free with the elite sale, but i will definanyly be buying these as xmas presents this year. So tine, yet so powerful and versatile. Olight never dissapoints.

Great quality flashlight. Super light output for the size. Love the fact that you can stick it to a metal surface, because of the magnetic charging dock.

I bought this light last week. Now it's my edc light with multiple light levels and surprisingly great battery life. And it's smart enough to lower the power levels as it heats up to protect itself. What else more could a guy ask for.

Awesome light for edc, perfect size, and can become very bright for the size. I would definitely recommend!

I ordered mine last week for fathers day and have kept it on me whenever I'm out of the house. The light is super strong and the battery lasts all day. The clip works great and helps make it a good choice as a uniform light while on patrol to keep me hands free. I used to use a competitor brand but Olight will now be the first place I look when I need a new light.

I love this light use it every day. Definitly shopping with olight again.

My first Olight purchase and I carry it every day!! Wow, I had no idea how fantastic a small light with 4 settings could be so useful in everyday life! Great decision to buy this light and seriously well done Olight!!

Ive owned a few different lights of this size over the years but this is by far the best. Amazing quality that feels great in your hand, perfect size to throw in a pocket or small bag, and the light shines bright with plenty of adjustments. Strobe is also a nice feature. Couldn’t be happier with this.
