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.

@Showroom7561 @flashlight There have been Olight models on this list before. There aren't any currently due to the company's heavy use of proprietary batteries. Their LED selections in many models also leave something to be desired.

@potatopotato@sh.itjust.works @zakreviews@social.goodanser.com 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.
