What’s in the box?
The Olight Warrior Mini 3 flashlight is a new flashlight from Olight. Can a 4.25” LED flashlight with non-sharp, shallow crenulations be a worthy weapon, or might it be best suited as an excellent flashlight with a surprise feature? I’ll focus on the build quality, light production, and features of the new Olight Warrior Mini 3 flashlight in this review.
Lighting performance
The Warrior Mini 3 features a high-performance LED coupled with a TIR lens for improved light beam distribution. It delivers a maximum of 1750 lumens, up from 1500 lumens for the Mini 2.

Handling and ease of use
Ergonomics have been optimized with a textured grip that prevents the lamp from slipping, even in wet conditions. The side button is well positioned and allows quick access to the different modes, while the rear button offers instant control in tactical situations.
The Olight Warrior Mini 3 flashlight I was sent has a green-fade-to-black paint scheme.
I really like the concave lens of some of the Olight flashlights and the Warrior Mini 3 has that lens style. I think that design offers protection of the lens mainly from other stuff in our pockets that might scratch a light’s lens. I’ve used the Olight Baton 3 for a long time (on the left above), and the lens is as clear as the day it was unboxed.
