The Olight Seeker 4 Pro packs up to 4,600 lumens into a torch only 133 mm long. I paid $200 for it. Like all our Olight torches, it came with us on a trip up north to Bouddi National Park.
What You’re Getting
A black aluminium torch with a blue bezel ring, a pocket clip and a big round side switch, plus a holster and a USB-C cable. The handle has a rubbery grip, and the flat tail is magnetic, so it sticks to a metal surface. We stick it to the body of the car, and it lights up the camp kitchen hands-free. On our scale it weighed 207 g.
What we like
- 4,600 lumens from a 133 mm torch

- Magnetic tail: sticks to the car
- 5 lm moonlight runs 15 days
What we don’t
- Less throw for tracks and wildlife
- Turbo only lasts 2.5 minutes
- Battery is Olight’s own 21700

Brightness and modes
It’s a lot of light for its size: a massive amount of output that you can carry around more easily than the Marauder Mini. Where it shines is around camp. After dark, the wide flood lights up the whole area while we cook, and it’s what we use to check the ground for snakes. What it lacks is throw: for spotting wildlife or lighting up a track a long way ahead, the Marauder Mini’s spot reaches much further. Turbo gives 4,600 lumens and throws 260 m, but only for about 2.5 minutes before it steps down to 1,200 lumens. The five levels:
| Mode | Brightness | Runtime | Throw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo | 4,600 → 1,200 → 600 lm | 2.5 + 122 + 35 min | 260 m |
| High | 1,200 → 600 → 300 lm | 135 + 35 + 10 min | 130 m |
| Medium | 300 lm | 11 h | 65 m |
| Low | 50 lm | 60 h | 25 m |
| Moonlight | 5 lm | 15 days | 9 m |
The big metal side switch turns it on and rotates for stepless dimming, so you turn it to set exactly the brightness you want, and a ring of small lights around it shows the output and the battery level. On Turbo it gets hot quickly, which is why it steps down.
The holster
The holster is the clever part. The torch slides in head down, and charging contacts in the bottom of the holster charge it through the tail. Olight says the holster also locks the torch when it’s in and unlocks it when you pull it out, so it can’t switch on in your bag. The holster has its own USB-C port, and the torch charges over USB-C as well. The battery is a 5,000 mAh 21700 cell, but it’s Olight’s own design, so a spare has to come from Olight.
Size and weight
It’s 133 mm long and 35 mm across the bezel, so it’s small for the amount of light it puts out. It weighed 207 g on our scale, with the battery in, which is 2 g more than Olight’s figure. The pocket clip on the side lets you clip it into a pocket or onto a bag strap as well as using the holster.
Seeker 4 Pro vs Marauder MiniVs the Marauder Mini
The two do different jobs. The Seeker 4 Pro is the compact all-rounder: a wide flood, small enough for a pocket or its holster, and less than half the weight. The Marauder Mini is the big gun, with a 600 m spot as well as a flood, coloured light and a lot more power, but it’s too big to carry around all evening.

Conclusion: Olight Seeker 4 ProConclusion
The Olight Seeker 4 Pro puts out up to 4,600 lumens and throws 260 m from a 133 mm body that weighed 207 g on our scale. Stepless dimming and a big side switch make it easy to use, and the holster charges it and locks it. Turbo only lasts a couple of minutes before it steps down. It still has a lot of lumens and puts out a massive amount of light, but it’s more portable than the Marauder Mini. It’s the light for around camp: stuck to the car by its magnetic tail while we cook, or checking the ground for snakes. For tracks and wildlife it lacks throw, and that’s where the Marauder Mini comes in. I paid $200.
A 4,600 lumen, 133 mm torch with stepless dimming, a holster that charges and locks it, and USB-C charging.
It weighed 207 g on our scale and is at its best as a flood light around camp.
- Car campers
- 4WD tourers
- Travellers
Yes. I paid $200 for a torch that still puts out a massive amount of light but is easier to carry than our Marauder Mini.
