Hi BLFers

I like your universal charger. It’s very useful for traveling.

I like that Olight has tough tactical flashlights and also the latest flashlight tech like wireless charging.

Welcome to BLF Olight Canada. I’m glad Olight finally came to this forum. Unfortunately, you must know that your giveaway is against the “rules” of this forum. The point is:

• Please do not post giveaways that require signing up outside of BLF, for example on Facebook or Instagram.

Welcome, Olight Canada! That’s a nice first post.

I really like my Olight i1R 2 EOS. It lives permanently on my keychain and is very useful. I just wish it were high CRI.

It’s great to see a giveaway, but is joining a Facebook group necessary? I avoid this, and many on BLF do too. I hope there’s some wiggle room on that. :innocent:

Hi Phouton! Thanks for your support and suggestion about the i1R I’ll record this and tell to our product designer. Really sorry for the interruption of the giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

headlamps can be used for outdoor utilization

Ooooh, learning opportunity! I think I learned this here; and in a very similar sounding post. When you’re “utilizing” a thing, you’re doing something with it which was not intended. If I use a light so I can take advantage of the outdoors, I’m just outdoors. Unless it’s a graveyard and I’m having a birthday party. If I use a scooter battery to power a flashlight, I’m utilizing that battery. If I use that same scooter battery in a scooter I’m using that battery. If I’m using the scooter solely for its headlight, I’m back to utilizing.

oh oh oh and:

1. Comment what do you know about Olight

According to an article on flashlight wiki: Their board chairman is the owner of Foursevens with whom they have a “strategic alliance.”

I admit I did not know that until just now.

as pointed out that’s against the rules, but I personally do not have a facebook/insta at this time, that I know of.

Hi Robin! “headlamps can be used for outdoor utilization” is a text error caused by our careless. Truly thanks for your participation! We need to make an adjustment about this giveaway. Really sorry for all.

@Pavlo

I have heard only good feedback about the build quality of your lights.
I have yet to own one.
I don’t like proprietary battery systems.

Hi Pavlo! Thanks for your participation. Really sorry for the interruption of this giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

@Gunga

I like the overall design of Olights but the cool white LEDS and non mod friendly designs leave a lot to be desired.

Thanks for your support and suggestion Gunga! I’ve record this. Then I will tell to our product designer. Really sorry for the interruption of the giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

@2A

Welcome to BLF, Olight Canada! I have several olight and they are very good.
Is is safe to assume only Canadian customers or prospective customers are eligible for the GAW?

Hi bro! Thanks for your participation. Really sorry for the interruption of this giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

Expensive, cold white light and proprietary batteries. Change my mind and send me a better Olight flashlight.

Olight has been around for more than 10 years, has 5 yr warranty on their flashlights, has lots of fans and fanatics and has officers around the world.

@derfyled

-Olight was among the first quality LED light from China along with Fenix and Nitecore more than 10 years ago.

- They produced the first 4SEVENS flashlights

The titanium S MINI is possibly my most used EDC light. I really like their design but I don’t buy them anymore because they only use cool white LED.

Hi bro! Thanks for your participation and suggestion. I’ve recorded this. And then I will tell it to our product designer. Really sorry for the interruption of the giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

• I’m NOT a Canadian citizen
• I’m NOT on Fakebook or on any other “Social” Medium

Simple math: “minus” times “minus” is “plus”.
Does that make me qualify?

Hi bro! Thanks for your participation. Really sorry for the interruption of the giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future.

How about a worldwide Olight giveaway? :-P If I am not mistaken Olight (USA?) was banned from BLF some time ago. Some questions...please don’t take any offense.

• Does Olight plan to relaunch their activities on BLF for each sales region (e.g. Olight Canada, Olight USA, Olight EU or EMEA)? Or is Olight Canada some kind of a franchise operation, being responsible on their own?
• What happened to your German representatives? It seems all former marketing activities have stopped by the end of 2020. I noticed that lately many customers have had big complaints concerning communication with www.olightstore.de.
• Could you please take more neutral, warmer tints into consideration? By the way, many of your coldwhite flashlights have a rather significant hue into greenish tint, i.e. LEDs seem to be on the positive side of the BBL chromaticity region. Many of us here would appreciate if Olight chose to use LEDs being pure white (on the BBL) or slightly rosy (negative side of the BBL).
• Last but not least: Please offer more models without the need for proprietary batteries. I do like magnetic charging but paying EUR 20 - 30 for one single spare custom battery is out of the question, at least for me.

Thank you.

When you’re “utilizing” a thing, you’re doing something with it which was not intended.

I remember seeing the original post about this and thinking it was too prescriptive.

For comparison:
Oxford English Dictionary “Utilize (v) To make or render useful; to convert to use, turn to account.”
Collins English Dictionary “Utilize - to make practical or worthwhile use of”

I did find a Merriam-Webster article that goes a bit further “while it’s true that use can generally be substituted for utilize without a change in meaning, utilize is typically applied with the particular meaning of ”to make use of : to turn to practical use or account,” and often suggests the discovery of a new, profitable, or practical use for something”.

I don’t remember who made that original post, but if I recall correctly the source cited was not very authoritative. I think the Merriam-Webster quote is probably a more balanced interpretation.

Hi bro! Thanks for your participation. Smile Really sorry for the interruption of the giveaway. We will make an adjustment in the future (lovely generic canned response)

Overpriced, only cool tints and proprietary cells make this the trifecta of crap

Olight are trash and they are only here to use our forum as advertising

Mate!!! Are you saying they are not posting for feedback on what they could improve in their torches! How presumptuous! /s

I’ve got an average size collection of torches, ~120 with decent variety.

A few brands missing from my list - no Zebralight and I want one (SC64w Hi), no Olight and I’m ok with that.

Zebralight are the opposite of Olight, in every single way, highly recommend, as well as Emisar too of course

[Lux-Perpetua]

So, almost one month has passed and Olight never came back for an adjustment of this giveaway? However, a smart (or would „clever“ be the more appropriate term?) move to turn a giveaway thread into a pure advertising thread. Well, there’s no such thing as bad advertising. ;-)
