Features

The second generation of the S1R Baton has been expertly designed to incorporate all the essentials you require from an everyday carry torch - compact, lightweight and reliable.

Beam Quality

The S1R Baton II uses a TIR optic for exceptional clarity with a balanced beam. This small pocket torch has an impressive 145m throw and a perfectly balanced hotspot. The different lighting modes make it easy to choose the beam strength for any occasion.

Charging

The charging station makes recharging easy. The torch connects magnetically to the charging base, which has a light indicating the charge status – red for charging and green for full battery.

The innovative charger is easy to use and does not require a plug connection to the torch, which helps improve the torch’s strength and water resistance. The charger can be plugged into any USB power source, such as a phone charger, computer or portable battery bank.

The torch uses a helpful traffic light colour code to indicate the remaining battery life during use. A green light indicates a high level of battery, orange is medium and low battery is indicated by a red light.

Power Button

The S1R Batton II is controlled by a single power and mode button. One click turns the torch off and on. Holding down the button whilst the torch is on will navigate through the available brightness modes. The S1R Baton II remembers your previous brightness selection for the next time it is used.

Turbo mode can be turned on with two quick clicks of the power button. Turbo mode is available for 1.5 minutes, after which the brightness will decrease to prevent the torch from overheating. It is important to note that on turbo mode, the end of the torch can become quite hot.

Three quick clicks of the power button will engage the strobe function, which is also known as an SOS mode that can attract attention, if needed. This mode is disengaged when you turn off the torch, and it will return to a regular beam when you next turn it on.

The moonlight mode, which provides a light glow, can be turned on with a long hold of the power button when the torch is off.

There is also a convenient lock function that can be engaged by holding the power button down for approximately 2 seconds when the torch is off. This will prevent the flashlight from accidentally turning on when in your pocket and bag, which could drain your battery.

Grip, Clip & Lanyard

The S1R Baton II feels great in hand thanks to its bevelled design, which runs along most of the torch’s length. The textured body is comfortable in-hand and provides ample grip when wearing gloves.

The torch comes equipped with a detachable 2-way belt/pocket clip. If the clip isn’t required, it can be quickly removed, which further reduces the size of this compact torch. The multidirectional clip makes it convenient to store the flashlight in the direction of your preference.

The wrist lanyard is another convenient feature. It isn’t attached to the torch by default, so you can choose whether you want to use it.
