Inside This Launch:
The secret is finally out, and the wait has been worth every second of anticipation. If you’ve been a part of the Olight community for any length of time, you know that the Baton series isn't just a product line—it’s a cornerstone of the modern EDC (Everyday Carry) movement. From the pocket-sized reliability of the Baton 3 to the record-breaking performance of the Baton 4, these lights have earned their place in the pockets and kits of millions worldwide.
But we didn't stop at excellence. Innovation is hard-coded into our DNA, and today, we are taking a massive leap forward. We aren't just announcing a single new tool; we are introducing two high-performance heavy hitters that push the boundaries of what’s possible in portable lighting. Welcome to the next era: the Baton 4 Pro and the Baton Ultra.
Whether you’re navigating a dark trail on a weekend hike, managing a professional job site, or simply making sure you have the most reliable gear for your daily commute, these two new additions are designed to exceed your highest expectations for power, durability, and intuitive ease of use.
Meet the Next Generation of EDC
What exactly makes a Baton "iconic"? It’s the balance. It’s that intuitive, "just right" feeling in the palm of your hand, coupled with the unwavering reliability that ensures light is there exactly when you need it. The new Baton 4 Pro and Baton Ultra take that legendary foundation and supercharge it with a feature set that reads like a flashlight enthusiast’s dream come true.
Both models now feature a game-changing Dual-Switch Interface—incorporating a tactile tail switch for the first time in this series—and Dual-Charging Convenience, supporting both our standard MCC3 magnetic system and a hidden USB-C port. With a staggering 100-day runtime in Moonlight mode, you are guaranteed peace of mind during extended adventures or emergency situations.
These aren't just simple updates; they represent a total refinement of the EDC craft. Let’s take a closer look at the unique personality and technical breakthroughs of each new light.
Baton 4 Pro: The Professional's Daily Driver
Baton 4 Pro
The ultimate high-performance all-rounder designed for work, home, and every high-stakes task in between.
- 1,600 Lumens: Raw power for any situation.
- 200-Meter Throw: Balanced reach and flood.
- Dual-Switch Design: Side + Tactile Tail Switch.
- Versatile Charging: Hidden USB-C + MCC3.
The Baton 4 Pro is engineered to be the most reliable tool in your pocket. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for a Baton with more "oomph" and more intuitive switching for professional or high-stress situations, this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
Performance That Never Backs Down
With an output of 1,600 lumens, the Baton 4 Pro provides a versatile beam profile. It’s the "Goldilocks" of lighting: enough flood to illuminate your entire backyard while maintaining a strong center spot to peer down long hallways or dark alleyways. It’s as effective in a tight crawlspace as it is on an overgrown camping trail.
Tactile Feedback When It Counts
The most significant evolution is the Dual Switch interface. You still have the fan-favorite side switch with its laser micro-perforated indicators for battery and brightness. But we’ve added a new textured tail switch that provides instant, tactile access to Turbo and High modes. This means you can deploy maximum light in an instant, without having to cycle through various modes or menus.
Baton Ultra: A Breakthrough in Material Science
Baton Ultra
The pinnacle of EDC technology, featuring proprietary optics and ultra-hard superalloy construction. Compact at 113 mm / 115 g.
- 1,800 Lumens: Extreme peak performance.
- 300-Meter Throw: Unrivaled long-range visibility.
- EIP 1 LED: Self-developed Olight innovation.
- Superalloy Body: 1.73x harder than 6061.
While the Pro is the ultimate workhorse, the Baton Ultra is our "Apex" light. It is where our Research & Development team was given the freedom to experiment with futuristic materials and proprietary lighting technology not seen in the industry until now.
Proprietary EIP 1 LED Innovation
The Baton Ultra is powered by Olight’s self-developed EIP 1 LED. This isn't just another off-the-shelf light source; it uses a proprietary non-uniform electrode design that delivers a real balance between brightness and reach, with an ultra-low Duv of <0.006 across all modes for a crystal-clear, pure white beam similar to natural light. The result? A stunning 1,800 lumens and a massive 300-meter throw in a body that still fits perfectly in your pocket.
Forged for the Impossible: Superalloy OAL™
For the Ultra, standard aluminum simply wasn't tough enough. We utilized Olight’s proprietary OAL™ (O-aluminum), a breakthrough in material science. This alloy is 1.73x harder than standard 6061 aluminum, providing superior strength and scratch resistance built for daily wear and the demands of an active lifestyle.
Family Tree: Which Baton is Right for You?
The Baton family has grown, and every member has a specific role to play. Here is how to choose the right partner for your EDC needs:
- Baton 4: The ultra-compact king of deep-pocket carry. Best for keychains and "just in case" backup.
- Baton Turbo: The specialized "thrower." Optimized for long-range spotting in a micro form factor.
- Baton 4 Pro: The daily workhorse. High output, a balanced beam, and dual switches for home and job site tasks.
- Baton Ultra: The flagship for tech enthusiasts. Toughest material, longest throw, and pioneering EIP 1 LED technology.
