Honestly if i had to pick one id pick the 3s because of the longer run times of the 21700 battery

Yeah, fair call. I prefer the mini 3 but that's mainly due to it being easier to pocket.

I hope they add the upgrades from the mini 3 to the warrior, with the new tail button, metal side switch & sensor. Maybe a Warrior 3s Pro/Max.

Same feeling with you, and they've added new tail button to the new warrior X4, with a type-c port

The bigger 3s is potentially useless. All lights have limited run time on turbo before step down to manage heat. On this one though turbo won't activate once the battery is below a 75% charge. Tough luck if you need it after that! Never known any other light with this restriction.

Yeah the turbo step down is a pain - could definitely be less conservative. Warrior Mini 3 is my fav one to EDC.

Im not into Olight throwers, only the regular big point, and i own many of them. But in this case, the 3S for the badass look. The other one looks like an innocent Batton.

I'm guessing they both can. And did you mean 3s?

As someone who is also concerned with self defense, I’m curious about how the two flashlights would compare when used as blunt weapons by striking with the bezel.

@DarrenYeoYT

10 ай бұрын

Both bezels are smoothed down, no sharp edges. You'd be able to break a window fine. But I'd recommend the larger one.

Now, the 3s can disable the proximity yes? Can the mini disable the proximity sensor as well?

​@DarrenYeoYT Of course it works. Read the instruction manual!!! Figure 17 "Obstruction caused downshift within 5 seconds, side switch operation = Double press"

Hi Darren, Do you think the warrior mini 3 is still worth buying today? Or there's more better options with the same form factor and performance out there

@DarrenYeoYT

Yeah it is, for a small tactical 18650 light, it has a great size to candela ratio. Otherwise, there are tons of other 18650 tac lights with better performance. This one is just the easiest to pocket.

Pd36r pro or the olight 3s?

I'd rather the Fenix if it were a survival situation as I can use other non-proprietary cells, charger. Otherwise the Warrior S3 looks and feels cooler haha.

Haven't had any luck getting samples from Nitecore unfortunately ​@@matthewmoscozo6377

There is no comparison: the 1750 Mini 3 can go into turbo multiple times but the 2300 Warrior 3S is only good for 2.5 minutes, then 1 minute if you need turbo a second time then recharge before turbo will function again.. absolute marketing BS! So essentially with the Warrior 3S you get a greenish tint 800lm high for 166 minutes with 2.5min of turbo..

That's the issue with putting the SFT70 and higher powered LEDs in small hosts. Runs too hot and fast step down. But running them in lower modes in those hosts is incredibly efficient. Produces more light.
