    This is a weird move by Olight considering it’s specifically these kinds of reviews that drive much of their sales in the flashlight community.

    Non-enthusiasts dgaf about quality and will just as willingly buy the $1 flashlight at the Home Depot checkout line. Olight is dependent on flashlight hobbyists so it’s strange that they would potentially alienate that whole consumer base.

    Olight has demonstrated a lack of ethics fairly regularly in one way or another. I stopped buying from them a while back. And there are better alternatives.

    What an annoying company. A few of their models were attractive but nah, there are always alternatives. Good luck getting your money.

    Added: you might replace all your olight reviews with a banner saying the issue.
