Olight recall

I hate overly sensitive tail switches. By now, given how long so many of these flashlight firms have been in business designing and producing flashlights, this is unacceptable. A switch isn’t so complicated. Mechanical or electronic. How can one get it wrong, especially with a company like OLIGHT?

Of course, one should be able to employ a lockout, but that can be inconvenient for some owners. I wonder how the switch the M2R Warrior compares to other OLIGHT flashlights.

But I have to ask, why didn’t OLIGHT didn’t incorporate a step-down feature triggered by excessive heat? And if you want to override, maybe a menu item to override it temporarily if the need calls for it.

They do have a temperature controlled step down, but that is to prevent the flashlight getting too hot rather than heat from the light beam which as with all high powered lights can burn holes in things rather rapidly. They added a proximity sensor in later models possibly to mitigate the risk of the over sensitive tail switch.
