Absolute Simplicity - 1 Mode > 1500 Lumen Extreme Output. Zero Hesitation.

Includes 14500 Size -  920 mAh battery with built in USB-C Charging!

When the situation demands immediate illumination, the last thing you need is to fumble through strobe modes, eco-settings, or complex menus. The Maratac® Checkpoint S1 is engineered around a single, uncompromising philosophy: one click, maximum power.

Designed with an ultra-intuitive, pressure-sensitive tactical switch, the Checkpoint S1 gives you instant momentary-on with a half-press, or locks into a constant, blinding stream of light with a full click. Whether you are a law enforcement officer relying on high-lumen situational awareness or a hiker navigating a sudden mountain storm, the Checkpoint S1 delivers immediate, predictable utility when seconds count.

Key Features

  • No-Nonsense Single Mode: One setting. Max output. Zero cycling through unwanted modes. Perfect for high-stress tactical environments or simple, reliable outdoor use.

  • Tactical Pressure-Sensitive Switch: Seamlessly transition between an intentional half-press for quick, silent momentary checks and a solid click for continuous runtime.

  • Strike Bezel & Light Indicator: The precision-engineered scalloped head serves a dual purpose: a rugged tool for self-defense and a visual indicator that spills light onto surfaces to let you know if the flashlight was left on while placed face-down.

  • Premium Built to Last: Machined from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum with a premium Type III hard-anodized finish, this pocket rocket resists heavy abrasions and impact up to 1.5 meters.

  • Submersible Waterproofing: Boasting an IP68 rating, the S1 is completely dust-tight and can handle submersion in water, ensuring it thrives in the absolute worst weather conditions.

Incredible little torch!

Compact and crazy bright. Takes a second to get used to the switch but great little EDC. The battery indicator is brilliant!

Bright!

Nice very small, very bright light. Love the one mode setup, hit the button and the Sun comes out. No fidgeting thru lesser lumens. Button use is similar to my O Light Valkerie with a quick click for constant on or hold the button down for momentary light.
Down sides are the light gets hot quickly and battery life is not very long. It’s adequate but don’t expect to go a month without charging.
Up sides are that I bought the two battery spare pack and type C charging is easily done. The button changes color of the light it shows to reflect charge status.
I plan on getting another of these.

Good, but an issue

Great size, great build quality. Love the simplicity. But, at first serious use ( stranger in my driveway at night), light came on, but I had to remove the battery to shut it off. Has worked correctly since.

**★★★★★ Damn near perfect.**

The Maratac Checkpoint S1 is what happens when someone finally builds a flashlight for people who are tired of cycling through moonlight, eco, strobe, SOS, and “oops I just blinded myself in the kitchen.” One mode. One job. Click it and you get 1,500 lumens of spotlight throw out to about 326 meters. That’s it. That’s the whole UI, and it’s excellent.

Half-press for momentary, full click for constant-on. No menus, no mode memory, no accidental strobe at 2 a.m. Just instant, stupid-bright light when you need it. The beam is a real spotlight—tight enough to punch down a hallway, across a parking lot, or pick up something at distance without washing out the whole scene.

Size and weight are the other half of why this thing slaps. About 93 mm long, 19 mm around, 40 grams without the cell. It disappears in a pocket or on a clip and still feels like a proper tool, not a toy. Aerospace 6061 aluminum with Type III hard anodizing, scalloped strike bezel, IP68, 1.5 m impact rating. It gets warm on turbo because physics exists, then it throttles itself so it doesn’t cook. Runtime is in the 75–90 minute range on the included 920 mAh 14500 with USB-C charging. For a light this small throwing this hard, that’s honest.

Is it perfect? Almost. You only get one output, so if you want a firefly mode for camp or a flood for close work, this isn’t that light. The battery is proprietary-ish in size (14500, not AA), and 90 minutes isn’t all-night runtime. Those are design choices, not defects. Maratac aimed at “checkpoint / search / I need light RIGHT NOW” and hit the target.

For $40 with the cell included, this is one of the cleanest little pocket rockets you can buy. Simple, bright, tough, and small. Damn near perfect.
