    Out of curiosity, are Olight flashlights just not good/popular, or is there another reason why they aren’t on this list? I own several, and they seem solid and reliable.

        @[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks for the info. That’s pretty disappointing to hear.

        The only issue I had with one of my Olights was a known firmware issue, and they replaced it without hesitation.

        I’m not a fan of propriety chargers/batteries, so I do agree that it’s a good reason to leave them off the list.

      They’re very overpriced for what they are. Also they’ve had some pretty stunning QC/design failures in the past involving lights exploding which have given them a bit of a reputation in some circles.
