Klarus Mi1C HCRI 395-Lumen EDC Flashlight

Bear in mind this is the HCRI version of Klarus’ Mi1C (sold elsewhere on Drop). Lumens are lower but beam reach is farther and color rendering better. A review on Candlepowerforums says: “Today, the little thumb-sized pocket monster, KLARUS Mi1C brings his new brother home.  KLARUS Mi1C HCRI, a Nichia high CRI diffused EDC Flashlight simulates natural lighting condition.  It uses an orange peel reflector, delivering 395 lumens and beam distance of up to 77 meters, while KLARUS Mi1C uses a single convex lens, delivering 600 lumens and beam distance of 40 meters.” https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?450220-New-Mini-EDC-Flashlight-KLARUS-Mi1C-HCRI-Release!!!! The advantage of HCRI is better color rendering of objects and landscapes that the beam falls on. ”High-CRI LED lighting is a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting source that offers a high color rendering index (CRI). CRI is a quantitative measure of a light's ability to reproduce the colors of objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or natural light source.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-CRI_LED_lighting So this one is neither worse or better than the standard Mi1C light, just different. I have the standard model in Deep Copper bellow among other mini flashlights. [image]

Looks like black is the color choice KLARUS offers this light with other color, material options. I would be interested in something other than black.

How does this compare to the Olight S1R Baton?
