Greetings fellow flashlight friends! As all you enlightened folk know, autumn is upon us which means one spooky thing – Halloween is nearly here! To get in the spirit of this terrifying time of year, I thought what better way to celebrate than with an epic flashlight throwdown between Olight’s two carry lights - the compact Javelot Mini versus the mighty Warrior 3S. 🕯
Now I know what you are thinking - “Flashlights? Boooring! Where’s the trick and gore we crave for Halloween?!” Fear not, my friends. While no living things will be harmed (unless one of these lights gets angry...), rest assured this flashlight face-off will be just as frightfully fun! Wait a minute...We do prepare a treat - a specail Halloween gift! In the meantime, don't forget about the Halloween discounts on these two products!🦇
We’ll examine these lights’ technical specs like lumens, throw distance and battery life. Halloween night is the perfect time for you to witness their dazzling beams of light. Beware though, shining 1000 lumens straight into your eyes could leave you blinded for weeks! I’ll also probe their interfaces, designs and durability with a series of “torture tests” no decent Halloween activity could be without. Don’t worry, no lights will become the victims of my experiments...or will they?
🎃Javelot Mini: A Terrifyingly Tiny Titan
Let the screams and chills commence! First up in the thrilling tournament of torch terror - the daringly diminutive Javelot Mini! At just 4.53 inches long and 5.43 ounces, this little firefly certainly packs a scary amount of lumen-pumping prowess into its itty bitty frame. With a maximum output of 1000 intensely illuminated lumens powered by a single 18500 battery, it can throw a 600 meter long (nearly 1900 feet!) beam of bright round light.
Scenarios this tiny titan can handle:
● Search & Rescue - ✔check
● Camping - ✔check
● Outdoor Adventure - ✔check
● Everyday Lighting - ✔check
● Law Enforcement - ✔check
In the face of such a small and so many "skills" flashlight, what should the warrior 3s on the other side object to!
🎃Javelot Mini Torture Test
But that’s not all this itty bitty illuminator is capable of, mates. Equipped with a round Cree LED for beautifully balanced and artifact-free beams, its sweet spot of illumination is crisply cut for optimum targeting of any terrors that go bump in the night. And thanks to its magnetic tailcap, recharging is a snap anywhere via USB-C without worrying about dropping it into a pumpkin’s putrid pulpy pulp. Too gross? Sorry, I’ll stop with the alliteration-heavy Halloween humor now...👻
No flashlight face-off would be complete without ensuring each competitor’s toughness can take a serious torch-torching. So for the Mini’s torture test, first I attempted to crush it under my boot’s heels - but nary a dent! Then I dunked it in a bathtub full of “Saint Water” to check its waterproofing claims. Emerging unfazed after 30 “bone-chilling” minutes submerged 1.5 meters under, this little light proved it isn’t just a pretty face but a survivor through and through. Even a short “accidental” drop from a two-story attic didn’t leave so much as a scratch on its battle-hardened body. Looks like the Javelot Mini has what it takes to withstand the worst of Halloween’s haunted hijinks and still keep lamping with the best of them!🍬
🎃Enter the Warrior 3S
But could this minimalist marvel really compete with a tried and true tactical titan? Wearing a regal blue, enter the mighty Warrior 3S, a multi-mode flashlight of illumination perfect for any of your Halloween happenings! At its highest output setting, it unleashes a downright 2300 maximum lumens powered by not one but two 18650 batteries, with a TIR lens, ensuring any and all living things get an eyeful of its blinding bubble of brilliant brightness. Its applications compared to Javelot mini:
● Everyday Lighting - ✔check
● Outdoor Adventure - ✔check
● Self-defense - ✔check
● Law Enforcement - ✔check
Well, I mean, they both get special "skills". Turns out Warrior 3s is a tank (or maybe it's a support) and he can defend himself or defense us.👻
Boasting 55 days of runtime on its lowest firefly-esque mode, the Warrior 3S has the battery-life bang to burn the midnight oil all October long and then some for your midwinter going to come. And with its built-in proximity sensor, accidental activation of its strobe settings is a no-go, protecting your eyes from the full radiance of its retinal-roasting lights. Indeed, safe brightness levels and operation are the name of the game even when handling such a light beast with multiple layers of protection.🦇
🎃Warrior 3S Torture Test
But does this tactical warrior have the tenacity to take on my torture trials? Let’s find out! First I subjected it to the watery testing to test its waterproofing - it emerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes while still functioning normally. Its fully sealed structure effectively prevents water and dust from entering the interio. I then tossed it off the attic and stomped on it for good measure - not a scratch! Finishing strong, The warrior activates its cooling magic, withstood the heat, still maintain full CW light with full output prowess intact. This menacing monster of a light toughness is no mere facade - it’s a true beast built to best!
What's the record of both sides? Let's look at a simple table sheet:
Specs | Javelot Mini | Warrior 3S |
Size | 4.53 inches | Larger tactical size |
Max Output | 1000 lumens | 2300 lumens |
Max Throw | 600 meters | Shorter throw distance |
Battery | Single 18500 | Dual 18650 for higher output |
Interface | Simple tail switch | Advanced side button/indicators |
Waterproof Rating | IPX8 | IPX7 |
🎃The Victor is...
So, which of these two frightfully functional flashlights gets my Halloween approval? Noooope! Nobody wins...I just gotta say this, you know why, they need a leader, am I right? Both the diminutive dynamo Javelot Mini and dominating dread nought Warrior 3S proved they have the lumens, runtime, durability and freakishly fun factor to successfully see you through any and every gala or gathering the holidays can heckle at you.
🎃In the End
In the end, I’d recommend the Javelot Mini as the ultimate all-round everyday carry option for any of your lighting hobbies or schedulings thanks to its compact concealability and magnetic charging convenience. But if you need no-nonsense nocturnal night vision for more Halloween happenings, the Warrior 3S and its ruggedized readiness for bright readiness checks all the boxes.
Whichever fits your flashlight fancies and other needs best, these Olight illuminators will keep the shadows at bay and horrors at hello this Halloween and beyond! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to scheming up some spectacular schemes and scenarios to sufficiently value these lights again. Same scare time, same scare channel - and remember, the only thing to fear is fear itself! Or maybe the things that go bump in those dark places your flashlight can’t reach. Heh heh heh...
