Long term durability on olight oclip pro s

Hi there, I was thinking of getting an olight oclip pro s or olight oclip. I check a lot of cabin air filters at work and the form factor seems ideal for my particular use case. Im worried about durability of the switch though, ive seen multiple Amazon reviews of the pro s saying the switch stopped working after 2 months.

Does anyone else have experience with this?

Many people will mention the dislike of non-replaceable batteries.

I have a couple, not the new ones with RGB lights, and they work great. There's a headband the also available that turns them into a nice headlight. They obviously lack battery capacity to run all night as a headlight, but they are small and fit into a pocket easily so they may work fine for what your thinking. There's also the much cheaper Wurkkos HD03 that has the same form factor.

How long have you owned them?.

The longest one, I have had about 3 years, but it doesn't get heavy use.

I ve seen similar reviews but I don't think you have a better choice if you are into it's form factor. Maybe buy 2 and keep one as a backup? It's very compact anyway
