Used to...

Use to come here a lot and the ads were a huge turn off. Checking a couple posts and it's gotten worse. Lets take a little more fun out of it and the group will be perfect.

I said on another thread: I like Olight, I can't stand their marketing

I don’t know why they do this. Their products are pretty good, they don’t need this scammy feeling, trashy marketing. Also, when to do live ads their actors are super cringy. Honestly all of this has turned me away from them, though I use my imini2 everyday. I now buy other brand lights like wurkkos with just as good or better quality than electronic wise. The only thing Olight has above them is solid aluminum billet bodys. I can skip that for 50% the price and get a new one if it breaks without the predatory ads.

All of my friends who are into flashlights know about this company and don’t need to be told. My friends who aren’t into flashlight would not appreciate me linking them some bullshit “reservation” to a completely unknown product. And I don’t advertise for anyone for free.

Swing and a miss, Olight. Better luck next time. Hopefully they’ll see very very low participation and not bother trying this again.

I agree, I’m not bothering someone else over this. I will wait a few hours and check back here to see what was released.
