A Review of the Olight S1R Baton II for EDC (Every Day Carry)
The Olight S1R Baton II is a USB rechargeable battery LED flashlight with a 0.5 lumen low mode and a 1,000 lumen high mode. I’ve found this lumen range, combined with it’s size and weight of 1.8 oz (including battery), to make the S1R Baton II a very useful light for my backpacking and camping trips where the expected lighting needs are a bit more critical. The 2.48 inch length, and deep pocket tail clip make it a great light for my EDC needs as well. Particularly for front pocket carry.
