Olight Summer Sale Picks: Warrior Mini 3 and the Bundles Worth a Look

Introduction

Olight’s summer sale packs its usual mix of bundles and free gifts, but this round has a genuine headline act: the brand new Warrior Mini 3. It keeps the output of the previous model, trims the body down, and adds a handful of thoughtful design changes that make it one of the most interesting everyday carry flashlights Olight has released in a while.

The sale runs from July 10th at 8 pm EST through July 14th at 11:59 pm EST, with an advanced sale starting July 8th at 8 pm EST. Here’s what stands out, and what’s actually worth your money.

The Free Gifts: i3e and i1R 2 Pro

Olight is giving away a small light to anyone who logs in during the sale. New customers get the i3e with a special design finish, while returning customers receive the i1R 2 Pro in pinwheel orange with a pinwheel-pattern design. Neither is a reason to buy anything on its own, but as a free login gift they’re a nice touch, and both are genuinely useful keychain lights.

Arcfield and Otacle Bundle

The Arcfield is Olight’s first flat-profile flashlight, and it comes with a green laser pointer that you can toggle on the fly with a switch to flip between laser and lighting modes. It’s a compact, pocketable light with a genuinely distinctive form factor.

Paired with it is the Otacle, a utility blade tool with a distinctive lion’s-mouth style end and a lockout switch on the back so it stays safe in your pocket. The bundle price is $63.99 during the sale.

Perun Mini 2 in OD Green

The Perun Mini 2 arrives in a new OD Green color, bundled with the OD Green Open Mini. The original Perun Mini was a favorite work light for outdoor use at night thanks to its head strap and patch attachment that turns it into an effective headlamp, and the Perun Mini 2 improves on that formula while staying just as bright.

At $46.76 for the pair, this is one of the better deals in the sale, and it’s the bundle that would see the most actual use for anyone who works outdoors after dark.

Olantern Classic Mini in Copper

The Olantern Classic Mini gets a new painted copper color, bundled with a matching copper-painted i3e. It’s worth being clear that neither is actual copper, just a copper finish. The pair costs $51.08 during the sale.

The Classic Mini is a meaningful step up from the original Olantern. It offers a warm light mode, and rotating further switches to a cool white, downward-facing softer light, with small LEDs inside lighting up in warm white mode. The handle doubles as a carabiner, which is a clever detail. For campsite or patio use, it’s a charming little lantern.

Warrior Mini 3 and Warrior Mini 2 Bundle

The last bundle pairs the brand new Warrior Mini 3 with an i3e in Zombie green for $63.99. It’s pricier than the Perun Mini 2 bundle, but the Warrior Mini 3 is the star of this sale for good reason.

Warrior Mini 3 vs Warrior Mini 2

The specs start familiar: 1,750 lumens, the same output as the Warrior Mini 2, but throw increases from 220 to 240 meters with 14,400 candela from a cool white emitter. It ships with the same 3,6V 3,500 mAh 18650 rechargeable battery, which can be slot charged or charged in the light with the included magnetic charger.

The physical changes are more interesting. The head diameter is noticeably smaller and blends into the body instead of bowing out, the body is slimmer and shorter, and the side switch is larger and now made of stainless steel instead of rubber. The bezel is finally properly aggressive and crenellated, addressing a long-standing complaint about the mini Warrior line.

The tail switch is the biggest surprise. Olight calls it the Tactical Tail Switch with nano molding technology, and it’s much flatter than before, making it easier to wipe off metal shavings or dust and slightly sturdier for tail-standing. The feel has changed too: the half press is far more defined for stepping up to medium, while the full press to Turbo feels a bit stiffer and notably more silent than the clicky older version.

The UI carries over unchanged: short press on and off via the side switch, press and hold to cycle low, medium, and high, double click for Turbo, triple click for strobe, and a half press on the tail switch for medium or a full press for instant Turbo. There’s also a new proximity sensor that, for the most part, no longer drops the light down when it detects raindrops or glass on Turbo, which fixes one of the most common complaints about proximity sensors.

On beam character, the Warrior Mini 2 has a larger hotspot and a floodier profile thanks to its wider head, while the Mini 3 produces a tighter, more defined hotspot with an even outer perimeter. The color temperature is very cool white, but noticeably less green than recent comparisons, which is a real upgrade. With the naked eye, the extra 20 meters of throw is hard to distinguish, but given the smaller size, improved switch, and new bezel, the Mini 3 is the one to reach for.

Buying Advice

If you only pick one thing from this sale, the Warrior Mini 3 bundle is the standout, provided you’re happy with a cool white beam. The Perun Mini 2 and Open Mini pairing at $46.76 is the best value for practical users, and the Olantern Classic Mini bundle at $51.08 is a charming pick for campers. Olight bundles during sales have historically been worth it, and discounts are generally reserved for these sale windows, so this is the time to buy if any of these were already on your list.

Conclusion

The Warrior Mini 3 is a genuine step forward for Olight’s everyday carry lineup, with a slimmer body, better switches, a proper crenellated bezel, and improved rain resistance on Turbo. Combined with solid bundle pricing across the sale, there’s plenty here for both new buyers and existing Olight fans.
