Olight Baton Ultra – 1800 Lumens – EIP 1 LED – OAL Aluminum

The Olight Baton Ultra is a technically superior EDC and outdoor flashlight that pushes the boundaries of compact lighting. Thanks to the implementation of the innovative EIP 1 LED and the exclusive OAL aluminum alloy, this flashlight offers an unprecedented combination of efficiency, power, and structural durability. Whether you’re looking for a wide beam for close-range tasks or a powerful beam with a range of 300 meters, the Baton Ultra delivers consistent performance under the most demanding conditions.

The Baton Ultra was developed with a focus on optical purity and thermal efficiency:

- EIP 1 LED Technology: This LED, developed by Osight, utilizes non-uniform electrodes, resulting in 10% higher efficiency at high power levels. With a DUV value of less than 0.006, the lamp provides a natural white light output (5700K–6700K) without distracting color shifts.
- TIR Optics: The high-quality TIR lens focuses the light within a 19-degree angle, creating a powerful hotspot with sufficient spill. This results in a maximum light output of 1,800 lumens and a light intensity of 22,500 candelas.
- OAL Housing: Manufactured from Olight’s proprietary OAL alloy, which is twice as strong and significantly more scratch-resistant than the standard 6061-T6 alloy. The green color is embedded in the material, ensuring it remains intact even with deep damage.
- Protection Rating: Fully waterproof to IPX8 standard (up to 2 meters depth) and drop-resistant from up to 2 meters.

The Baton Ultra offers an intuitive interface for both everyday and tactical use:

- Dual-Switch System: Features a side switch for standard modes and a rear switch for direct access to High or Turbo.
- Switching Logic: * Side Switch: Controls Low, Medium, and High modes. Includes Moonlight mode (press for 1 second from the off position) and an electronic lock function.
- Rear Switch: Supports both momentary and constant-on operation.
- Shortcuts: Double-click for Turbo and triple-click for Strobe mode.

The flashlight is designed for maximum flexibility during charging:

- Battery: Uses a custom 18650 3500mAh Li-ion battery (ORB-186C35), optimized for the high current draw of the EIP 1 LED.
- Dual Charging: * Magnetic: Compatible with the MCC 3 magnetic charging system on the rear.
- USB-C: Features a hidden USB-C port, accessible by unscrewing the rear of the flashlight. This ensures waterproofing while still allowing for universal charging.
- Battery Indicator: The side switch includes an indicator that displays the current battery status.

For long-term reliability of your Baton Ultra, we recommend the following:

To ensure the long-term reliability of your Baton Ultra, we recommend the following:

- Charging: Keep the magnetic charging points and the USB-C port free of dirt and metal filings to ensure uninterrupted power transfer.
- Thermal Management: In Turbo mode, the flashlight automatically switches back to 600 lumens after approximately 1.5 minutes to protect the LED and battery from overheating.
- L-Bracket: Use the included magnetic L-bracket for a fixed wall mount, which improves accessibility.
- Cleaning: The TIR lens can be wiped clean with a soft microfiber cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the coatings.

The Olight Baton Ultra is a technically robust tool that excels thanks to its innovative material selection and superior LED technology. The combination of the extremely durable OAL housing and the impressive 300-meter beam distance makes this one of the most versatile EDC flashlights on the market. The objective verdict is that, thanks to its dual charging options and natural color rendering, the Baton Ultra is a superior investment for both professional users and outdoor enthusiasts.
