Features
Beam Quality
Olight torches are known for their excellent beams and the Perun 2 Mini is no exception… there is a perfect balance between flood and throw, allowing you to see off into the distance in addition to what’s right in front of you.
There is a smooth beam with no harsh transition areas.
Charging
Charging occurs via the included magnetic charging cable – there is a standard USB on the other end that can be used with any USB plug or portable battery.
I’ve come to really like this unique charging method – the magnet literally attracts the charging base and can easily be done one handed.
The only downside is that the charging cable is not a generic USB-C, meaning that you have to carry a separate cable in addition to the one you might be using for other products such as your phone… having said that, I don’t find this to be too much of an issue as it doesn’t take up a lot of space and you can use the same Olight charging cable for most Olight torches.
There is a charging light adjacent to the magnetic pad of the charging cable – it lights up red when charging and green when fully charged.
Magnetic Base
The magnetic charging base can also be used to attach the torch to any metal surface… an extremely useful feature that enable your hands to be free while working.
Power Button
The power button is located at the top of the torch and has a rubbery texture, making it very easy to turn on and off, even in the dark.
To lock the torch – hold down the power button for a few seconds, hold it down again to unlock. This is a very useful feature and prevents accidental powering on while the torch is in your bag, for example.
Modes
To cycle through the modes – the torch should be switched on and then the power button held down – this will cycle through levels 2-4 (250 – 60 – 15 lumens).
Level 5 (moonlight mode, 2 lumens) is activated by pressing the power button for one second, while the torch is off.
Turbo mode (level 1, 1100 lumens) is achieved by double tapping the power button while the torch is on.
The red light is activated by double tapping the power button while the torch is off.
Low Battery Indicator
There is a battery level indicator located on the power button, which lights up when the torch is powered on as follows:
- Green: >60% battery power
- Orange: 10-60% battery power
- Red: 5-10% battery power
- Blinking Red: <5% battery power
Clip
The Perun 2 Mini has a detachable dual-sided metal clip that can be used to attach the torch to items such as a utility belt or backpack.
Head Mount
The head mount is very easy to use – the torch attaches to it with the aid of a clip and be rotated 180 degrees.
Conclusion & Exclusive Offer
The Olight Perun 2 Mini is an excellent EDC torch that doubles as a head torch.
It has lots of useful features, from moonlight mode to the red light to preserve night vision and in my opinion is a very good all-rounder for any outdoor adventure.
