Core Features
Beam Pattern, Lumens & Candela
The Olight PL Mini 2 features a 600 lumen LED with up to 2500 cd, the light is slightly brighter than the Streamlight brand TLR 7A, but based on my first impression, the light is very bright on a fully charged battery, and it has an effective 40 yard throw and a super wide flood beam to lit up everything right in front of the user.
As far as beam pattern goes, the light beam is balanced between throw and flood, which it has a softened center corona with a wide flood, similar to Surefire's TIR lens performance that is optimized for close quarter tactical low light applications.
For a light this size, it's quite impressive to have this level of performance.
Light Beam Color Tint
The Olight PL Mini 2 features a neutral tint, which helps with identifying object's subject contour, color, details and gradation.
Why is it important ? Accurate color rendition helps the user accurately identify the subject in the dark by bring out the details such as color that a coolish tint beam can't.
A light with cool (bluish) tint tends to make certain color appears to be different than its true color. For example - Dark red looks black, white looks blue, dark green looks brown....etc
