Olight unveils Baton flashlight series with 1,600+ lumen output and dual switches for EDC

Olight has unveiled the Baton series, its latest compact, high-brightness flashlights for everyday carry (EDC). The Baton 4 Pro comes with a 1,600-lumen 15W LED with a rated 200 m (656 ft.) throw range while the Baton Ultra comes with a 1,800-lumen 18W self-developed LED with a 300 m (984 ft.) throw range.

The Batons come with a side and a tail switch. The former provides access to all five brightness levels (turbo, high, medium, low, and moonlight), while the latter provides quick access to high and turbo, with optional momentary on.

The flashlights are powered by 3,500-mAh 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. They have a rated runtime of just over 198 minutes in their brightest turbo mode and as long as 100 days in their dimmest moonlight mode. The Batons can be recharged through the hidden USB-C port or the Olight MCC3 magnetic wireless charging pad on the tail.

The Baton 4 Pro body is made out of 6061 aluminum drop rated for 1.5 m (3.3 ft.) while the Baton Ultra is made out of proprietary O-Aluminium drop rated for 2.0 m (6.6 ft.). The bodies have an anti-slip pattern for a more secure handhold, and both are less than 4.5 in. (11.4 cm) long for convenient carry. The rugged Batons are IPX8-rated for continuous water submersion deeper than 1 meter (4.9 ft.) and have an operating temperature of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).

The Baton 4 Pro comes in matte black, orange, and OD green at an MSRP of $69.99, and the Baton Ultra comes in olive green at an MSRP of $129.99. Both models will be available for sale starting April 21, 2026 at midnight GMT from Olight and Amazon (Baton 4 Pro and Baton Ultra).
