Olight

So missed the flash sale of the red baton 3

If anyone can provide an answer, how come Olight discounts are rare. Now that I think about it, I notice only a select few brands always have discounts happening? Conspiracy?? $$$???

Yup, no Olight in the big list. :cry: Super All Wheel Rare. Hmmm SAWR…sounds like car technology lingo. :smiley: :beer:

IIRC, Olight once made it onto the black list of commercial sellers on BLF.

Maybe they never tried to come back. IDK.

Lol, Hall of Shame. Sometimes the truth hurts.

if u are in usa they make on holidays etc crazy flash sales, no need coupons here as they dont really work like that…

They do in the UK too, there was a really good deal they did the other day which I posted in the deal thread.

Easy answer: They sell excellent lights, and US prices are ok. Their peer group are made of manufacturers like Acebeam and Zebralight.

The US price for the Baton 3 was really nice. Don’t think we’ll see that again so soon, if ever. Anyone noticed the 300 lm mode is back? It’s a dream EDC, would have bought it immediately if I were in the USA.

It isn’t a dream EDC for all of us in the USA, for more than one reason - not a suitable item for my needs, but a very nice flashlight.

If you subscribe to emails at Olight store, you will never be able to unsubscribe. Hitting the unsubscribe button does no good. I had to train my email client to toss their crap into a spam folder where it’s automatically deleted. They are relentless with daily spam.

I don’t get any spam mail from them. Once every few weeks I get an email about a flash sale and that’s it.

I did buy a red Baton 3 during their flash sale, and after a week of no updates on the order, I was told they were waiting for it to be shipped from China and would update me when it reached NJ (I guess where they get their products in the U.S.) After a second contact seventeen days after the order, I was told that the shipment was lost and they’ll be sending me another one. No tracking number yet…

I love my old S1 Mini (especially because of that 300 lumen high mode) but the max output and battery life of the Baton 3 convinced me. Now if only Olight made a larger capacity proprietary 16340 for it… 550mah is pretty low yet still gives an impressive almost 90 minutes on high.

I don’t get spam from The Olight Store either, just the flash sales’ announcements. The sales are timed around holidays , mothers day , fathers day so another might be coming.
I think it is poor business to operate in the US and have to wait for the shipment from China.
I watched their youtube video about the Baton 3 you would think the (US) warehouse would be stocked for the orders that were generated from the sale campaign.

I bought one Baton3 in blue. Nice little light, clever little Zippo style carry case that holds an 18650 & will rechaege light 3.7 times. Pity about their proprietary batteries but thats part of the deal. Only thing is being a 16340 cell light it’s so short you end up pinching the light to hold it. I prefer the Baton2-pro with 2k max lumens. Just my 2c

If you want, you could also use the 1Lumen discount code, it gives you 10% off.

I just found out the the Baton 3 Premium does wireless charging! Hmmm looks interesting. :money_mouth_face:

It’s the standard magnetic charging system.

Edit:

US: $64.95
Germany: 77.95 EUR

I have two words for you, Olight.

I can only guess what these two words would be. :-))

BTW, the same applies to ThruNite. Great prices for customers from US, Canada and Japan but extraordinary expensive (import?) prices for EU customers. I find it hard to accept any further excuses for higher prices due to VAT in the EU.

Oh magnet technology, okay no biggie. Bit it sure looks snazzy! :D Actually I doubt it'll fully charge up my iPhone though.

Theirs a sale almost every month, typically 30% off, or 40% in a bundle.

I like this system, instead of a year round 15%

Hey nice and a bundle is even better! :-) I might get the Warrior X Pro Military! Already signed up to their mailing list too.
