Well, I own a number of Olight's. Love their side side switch and really love the new Arkfeld Pro. I work in the HVAC trade and can use all 3 lights on it.
I really don't understand why the dislike for Olight. Yes, I have read all of this tread.
I'm a Voc teacher and I'm always giving my students a hard time for not carrying a flashlight. Way to many young people totally rely on their cellphones. I give them an assignment that requires a light and to use their phone at the same time. They are learning, slowly.
It is sad people are...
Got into flashlights a number of years ago. Got way more then I needed, got bored. Hadn't bought anything new for years. Then my favorite brand (Olight) started making some different choices and that drew me back in. Still have more lights than I will ever need. But, it's fun.
Just saw this thread. I have had a Olight Baton S2 in my pocket for almost 4 years now. Never had an issue and love it. It has been moved out for the new Arkfeld Pro, that gives me more options. Don't understand why the hate on the S2.
