Black Friday usually gets all the attention when it comes to big discounts, but Amazon has just beaten one of last year's best torch deals before its October sale has even officially started. The Olight Marauder Mini is now £119.99 at Amazon, down from £199.99, giving Prime members a massive £80 saving, or 40% off.

I reported on the same torch during last year's Black Friday sale, when Amazon dropped it to £129.99. Today's early Prime deal takes another £10 off that price. Prime Big Deal Days officially takes place on 6 and 7 October, although Amazon has already started rolling out deals ahead of the main event.

Olight Marauder Mini Rechargeable High Lumen Torch: was £199.99 now £119.99 at Amazon
At £129.99, I thought the Marauder Mini was one of the standout torch deals of Black Friday. At £119.99, it's now cheaper still, and that's before Prime Big Deal Days has even officially begun!
Despite being called the "Mini," there's not much that's mini about this compact torch's performance. Its floodlight can output up to 7,000 lumens, with nine LEDs providing a wide spread of light. Flick over to the dedicated spotlight, and it'll throw a beam up to 600 metres.
There are also separate red, green and blue LEDs, each with multiple brightness levels. The controls include a rotary dial to adjust brightness and a physical toggle to jump between the floodlight and spotlight.
The aluminium-bodied torch has an IPX8 waterproof rating, is tested for drops from 1.5 metres and uses a replaceable 6,500mAh rechargeable battery with Olight's magnetic charging system. Maximum runtime stretches to 43.5 hours when using the lowest spotlight setting.
I've reviewed several Olight torches over the years, including the smaller Seeker 4 Pro, which I awarded five stars. The Marauder Mini takes that basic idea of a powerful rechargeable torch and turns everything up several notches.
And judging by its reception, I'm not the only one impressed. People on Amazon call it a "great torch" with "just the right balance between brightness and portability." Another review simply calls it the "Best Torch Ever."
