Olight's Limited Edition Trio: Copper Warrior Mini 2, Ancient Bamboo i3T Plus, and the Brass Bark O Pen

Introduction

Olight’s limited editions usually lean on bold finishes like glossy chrome blues, but this month the lineup takes a warmer, more tactile turn. Three releases stand out: the Warrior Mini 2 in raw copper, the i3T Plus in an ancient bamboo finish, and the O Pen in brass bark. Each one pairs a familiar, proven design with a finish that feels genuinely special, and all three are on sale for a limited time, with sale items moving quickly.

Olight Warrior Mini 2 in Copper

The Warrior Mini 2 in copper keeps everything that makes the standard version practical and adds a finish that changes over time. The copper will tarnish and develop different fades based on the oils and fingerprints it picks up, and you can clean it back to a like-new shine whenever you want. That means every light ends up looking one-of-a-kind, which is a big part of its appeal for collectors and daily users alike.

Functionally, it carries the full spec of the normal Warrior Mini 2. A proximity sensor drops the output to low if you’re running turbo and the light gets too close to something, so it won’t burn pockets or surfaces. That sensor directly addresses the known recall issue where these lights could turn on in a pocket and cause burns. Inside, it runs a 3.5 amp hour 18650 battery, charges on the back via the magnetic MCC charging system, and uses the familiar Olight interface: a light tap for low, a firm push for turbo, hold for intermittent momentary mode, plus a forward switch to step through modes and a strobe function. The copper does make it heavier than the standard version, so it suits a truck light or collection piece better than a minimalist pocket loadout.

Olight i3T Plus in Ancient Bamboo

The i3T Plus in ancient bamboo is a slim penlight with a clear-coated, colored copper body, and the finish carries a textured bamboo feel with small raised bumps that give it real character in the hand. The interior parts reveal a brass base material under the anodizing, which adds to the sense that this is more than a paint job.

Operation could not be simpler: the first press turns it on low, and pressing again after turning it off brings it to high. It runs on two AAA batteries, which are included. At $40, it isn’t badly priced, and bundles can bring the cost down further. It’s a carry-it-with-you kind of light, best suited to people who genuinely enjoy the bamboo aesthetic or collect flashlights.

Olight O Pen in Brass Bark

The brass bark O Pen is, frankly, the standout of this trio. It keeps the normal Olight lines but adds bark-textured sections anodized darker against the lighter brass, and the result looks genuinely premium in a way standard anodized colors don’t.

The controls work like any other click pen, with a push to extend the refill. Push up once to turn on the light; while the light is on, push and hold to cycle through light settings. Push up again to turn it off, and with the light off, push and hold to activate a green laser, then push up again to switch it off. If you’re shopping for a gift, or just want something to keep for yourself, this is the one O Pen that deserves the must-have label. For anyone who picks pens based on looks, this is where it’s at.

Which One Should You Pick Up?

If you judge gear by performance-to-weight, the copper Warrior Mini 2 is a trade-off: heavier than the standard aluminum version, but with a patina that makes it uniquely yours. Titanium would be the dream weight-wise, but the copper brings its own charm. The i3T Plus is the easy, affordable carry for penlight fans, and the brass bark O Pen is the piece to gift or keep.

Keep in mind that special editions like these function identically to the standard versions, just with different exteriors, so any other review of the base models applies here too. The sale on this trio runs for a limited time, so it’s worth checking availability soon if one of them has caught your eye.

Conclusion

Olight’s special editions succeed when the finish adds something the standard version can’t: the Warrior Mini 2 in copper ages into a one-of-a-kind patina, the ancient bamboo i3T Plus is an affordable, characterful penlight, and the brass bark O Pen is arguably the best-looking pen Olight has made. Match the one you choose to how you’ll actually use it, and any of the three is easy to recommend.
