I don't think it is at all when you can get lights with more materials, better materials, more sophisticated electronics, better warranties, and more features for $50-65.
That's my point though, most Olight's are overpriced for what you get when compared to the competition. Especially the S1 and Smini series imo.
Of course I would like to pay less too, but to me they're still worth it. But I'm a bit of a fanboy I guess.
I tried several different brands before I bought an S10 and as it turns out the Olight S-series just works for me. Their UI and form-factor just happen to match my needs perfectly where all others I've owned have left me unsatisfied in some sort of way. And they seem pretty bomb proof. My cat has knocked my S10 off a 3 foot high bedside table on to a hardwood floor on daily bases for the last two years now, trying to get me to wake up and feed him, and it still hasn't stopped working, lol. It's not that much money if it lasts a lifetime, or even just half a lifetime.
But different strokes for different folks I guess, don't buy 'm if you think they're not worth it.
Thanks for the links. I can use parcel motel if they ship to the UK.
If you do need help with shipping just send me a pm, I'd be happy to order one for you and ship it to Ireland if needed be.
