Best praise vs top criticism for Olight Baton 3

Best Praise
+5 pts
β€œThe Baton 3/4 can sustain 300lm and it's a lot smaller than the D3AA even. Granted it's using an efficient cool white emitter, but it's also using a really good buck driver. And I think saying it can sustain it and sustain it comfortably in hand are different things. With tiny lights like these there's nowhere to hold the lights to get away from the heat. So while it might sustain 300lm that doesn't necessarily mean you want to be holding it when it does.”

β€œNo, it doesn't get any hotter than the stock light. The beam is more defined. My phone tends to significantly improve the appearance of bad tint That stock Baton 3 is Duv 0.0142 at equivalent output. https://i.imgur.com/QTXuwjh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0x6f9kk.png”
