@Diablo-ii4yp 5 месяцев назад

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

@DarrenYeoYT 5 месяцев назад

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

@mstevens113 2 месяца назад

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.

@DarrenYeoYT 2 месяца назад

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

@snowride30 10 месяцев назад

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.

@DarrenYeoYT 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I'm pretty sure they will. Very significant upgrades!

@CeeWorld69 6 месяцев назад

@yuejiang5759 3 месяца назад

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

@tristanhidalgo8463 10 месяцев назад

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 месяцев назад

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

@thetropicalraven4426 5 месяцев назад

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

@DarrenYeoYT 5 месяцев назад

Nope I didn't find a way to disable it on the Warrior Mini 3

@HeizerNo1Paraguay 3 месяца назад

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

@louisarturo5625 Месяц назад

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 Месяц назад

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.

@randomescu 6 месяцев назад

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.

@DarrenYeoYT 6 месяцев назад

The warrior X3 is the serious one :D

@Appalachianamerican67 10 месяцев назад

The biggest thing for me is that the s3 is able to withstand recoil.

@DarrenYeoYT 10 месяцев назад

That's good to know, for me it's not a huge issue other than it protects the light if I drop it

@blakeolson2036 6 месяцев назад

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

@boristheblade12 10 месяцев назад

@ynotjf 6 месяцев назад

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..

@DarrenYeoYT 6 месяцев назад

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.

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.

Both these lights struggle in the candela area. Other 21700 lights are pushing 50,000 plus candela.

I carry around the Warrior 3 Mini a lot these days because of the larger hotspot :D not as intense but it's useful for walks.
