Benefits Of Olight Baldr Mini
The following benefits of Olight Baldr mini are listed:
Good Dimensions And Lightweight
With a length of 57 mm, a width of 32.8 mm, and a height of 35.8 mm, Olight Baldr Mini has great dimensions. Thus, it gives the impression of being a small, light weapon.
Furthermore, it weighs 3.07 ounces when the battery inside the compartment is included. Therefore, the Olight Baldr Mini is a small and lightweight weapon light, as evidenced by its dimensions and weight.
Modes Of Operations
Momentary-on mode on the Olight Baldr Mini allows the light to turn on for one second before turning off for the following second. Additionally, it has a constant-on mode that keeps the light on constantly.
It can alternate between the white light and the green beam in addition to these modes. Additionally, there is a benefit to using a green and white light simultaneously.
Performance – Light And Power
The performance of the Olight Baldr Mini is determined by the luminous flux and the power source. The light output is 600 lumens, and it covers a range of 130 m. However, the lighting is poor, having a significant negative impact on performance.
Besides having a light output, the Olight Baldr Mini also has a lithium polymer battery. Following a brief burst of 600 lumens, the light runs for a further half an hour at 100-lumen output with the beam on or for 40 minutes without it.
Endurance Level
Due to its aluminum body, the Olight Baldr Mini has a high endurance level. Strong aluminum precludes the weapon light from being broken by a collapse or crash. Additionally, although it is not entirely water-resistant, it can withstand liquid splatters and dust cloud humidity.
Additionally, it has a warranty that covers any damage to the weapon light, with no additional cost to the shooter. The weapon light, however, needs to be replaced by you if the damage is severe; otherwise, the company will not be held liable.
Drawbacks Of Olight Baldr Mini
Olight Baldr Mini has a very small number of shortcomings, hardly any of which are noticeable. These are thus;
- Less intensity of light
- Does not cover a good beam distance
- It has an IPX4 rating (Olight Baldr Mini is not waterproof)

Yes, the Olight Baldr Mini is a reasonably priced weapon light. The price varies because the Olight Baldr Mini is available in a variety of colors. Accordingly, the price varies, but the black Olight Baldr Mini is the least expensive color. Furthermore, the cost of the Olight Baldr varies from vendor to vendor, but it still falls within the reach of most consumers.
