How about a worldwide Olight giveaway? :-P If I am not mistaken Olight (USA?) was banned from BLF some time ago. Some questions...please donāt 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.
I remember seeing the original post about this and thinking it was too prescriptive.
For comparison:
Oxford English Dictionary āUtilize (v) To make or render useful; to convert to use, turn to account.ā
Collins English Dictionary āUtilize - to make practical or worthwhile use ofā
I did find a Merriam-Webster article that goes a bit further āwhile itās true that use can generally be substituted for utilize without a change in meaning, utilize is typically applied with the particular meaning of āto make use of : to turn to practical use or account,ā and often suggests the discovery of a new, profitable, or practical use for somethingā.
I donāt 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
So, almost one month has passed and Olight never came back for an adjustment of this giveaway? However, a smart (or would ācleverā be the more appropriate term?) move to turn a giveaway thread into a pure advertising thread. Well, thereās no such thing as bad advertising. ;-)
I also donāt particularly care for CW emitters and proprietary batteries, but their lights certainly are not crap. I have a few Olights, all of which have had their emitters swapped for better CCT/tint/CRI options. They all have excellent machining and finishes and a very simple and usable UI. Their drivers are efficient CC buck drivers (boost for XHP35 models). I like their āgas pedalā two-stage tail cap buttons. Despite requiring proprietary cells, the magnetic charging works well and is very convenient (I never remove the cells from the lights).
If you are someone who hates CW emitters and you are not willing to perform an emitter swap, or you have a use case that requires you to swap cells often, Olights are not the lights for you. However, that doesnāt make them trash.
I got a coupla i1R whatevers a while back (2-stage twisty w/ usb charging) and itās pretty nifty, but those are the only Oilights I got. Think they were via a promo (āfreeā but you pay shipping? forgotā¦). Quite nice, actually. Buttery-smooth action.
And yeah, CW, but not hideous. Maybe I just won the tint lottery, dunno. Not a fan of CW, but for what it is, itās pretty nice.
Really nice beam with the TIR lens, in fact. No nasties at all.
Soā¦ thatās my only experience with Oilight, and it aināt bad.
That said, I donāt like proprietary, and wouldnāt get a light (except for free / review / seriously heavily discounted ) that had a proprietary system. Light that takes a proprietary battery but can take a standard cell, no problem. Light that takes only a proprietary cell, nuh-uh. (Well, unless itās cheap enough to be considered disposable.)
