Olight’s ridiculously powerful new handtorch pumps out 25,000 lumens and can illuminate objects 1km away

There are powerful flashlights, and then there’s the new Olight Marauder 3, which feels like someone took the specs of a portable searchlight and somehow squeezed them into a handheld torch.

The new flashlight has an impressive spec sheet, with the ridiculous 25,000-lumen maximum floodlight output being the standout.

According to Olight, that matches the company's hulking X9R model, even though the Marauder 3 is roughly half its size.

And if simply turning night into day isn’t enough, a separate spotlight can throw a focused beam as far as 1,000 metres (~3,280 ft).

You can switch between floodlight and spotlight modes or run the two together, giving the Marauder 3 everything from broad campsite illumination to long-range visibility.

Inside is a built-in 31,900mAh, 118Wh lithium-ion battery, which Olight says can keep the flashlight running for up to 14 months in its lowest Moonlight setting.

More than just a very, very bright torch

That oversized battery also turns the Marauder 3 into an emergency power bank.

Its USB-C port supports 30W bidirectional charging, with Olight claiming there’s enough juice onboard to fully recharge an iPhone 17 Pro up to six times.

Olight has also given the flashlight a small smart display that shows estimated remaining runtime as you change brightness, as well as the predicted time until the battery is fully charged.

Separate indicators cover battery level, brightness, Moonlight mode and high-temperature warnings.

A touch-sensitive rotary dial handles control, unlocking and activating the light in a single motion.

Olight has also retained a conventional rotary unlock option, useful when gloves or wet hands make touch control less practical.

Despite being considerably smaller than Olight’s X9R, the Marauder 3 is hardly pocket-sized.

It weighs 840g with the battery installed, measures 152mm long and has a 75mm-wide head.

The aluminium body is rated IPX8 for water resistance and has been tested to survive drops from one metre.

It will be offered in Black, Midnight Blue and Orange. No pricing or availability information was available at the time of writing.
