    Bought the Warrior Mini 3 to replace a Fenix LD30 because I never liked it's green tint. The WM3 is essentially the same size and marginally heavier, but has better light quality, eliminates green tint and can be turned on/off with the tail switch or the side button. Love it!

    You just blew my mind with that Perun 2 Mini strap trick. I'm going to have to try that with mine. I seem to remember Olight mentioned somewhere that they're going to be selling the headband separate at some point.
    Proximity sensors are great, but still practice proper safety. Turn off your light or turn it low if it's unattended or temporarily stowed. Not saying don't trust the proximity sensor, treat it as another line of safety. DO NOT BURN A HOLE IN YOUR POLYESTER PJs like I did with a Baton 3 Pro Purple that for some reason didn't have a proximity sensor. The other Baton 3 Pros at the time did. There was not a disclaimer saying the Purple edition didn't have one but I am still a dingus, put it in my pocket while opening my mailbox and it took no time at all!
    Thankfully the only injury I suffered was my pride, when I contacted Olight they helped me out and sent some goodies and it made my day. I might consider wearing cotton PJs from now on, polyester just wants to burn. Don't be a dingus, if I had respected the flashlight I would have that pair of PJs still. Yet again maybe it pays to be a dingus? I did get goodies from Olight worth more than my PJs. Is it possible that they wanted to avoid a settlement over my slightly burned PJs/leg? Doubt it, it's more likely that they wanted to spare me the embarrassment of my epic dingus moment.
    If you managed to read through all of this, I'm sorry lol. Hopefully my idiotic story will serve as a warning and be helpful in some way. Even if it's just to laugh at me.
    For real though, Olight has your back, especially if you are a massive dingus like me. I feel so special :)

    Lithium ion battery in the i3t AAA spot. I've heard olight doesn't recommend this, can anyone explain why and what the risk of doing so is?
