About Product
What we have committed to: Olight continues to focus on delivering more reliable and innovative lighting products.

1. Kept and improved versions of our classic product series. The Marauder mini, Obulb Pro, Valkyrie Turbo, Baton 3 Pro, etc., were inspiring additions to our classic line-ups with enhanced performances.
2. Continued expanding into new lighting categories. We were proud to launch the dual light source EDC flashlight — the Arkfeld, a multi-use safety light — the Gober, a work light — the Odiance, a 2-in-1 angled foregrip light — the Sigurd, and even more, all to bring you more illumination solutions.
3. Kept the O-designer Program thriving. By listening to and integrating the wonderful suggestions from our fans to improve our products, we successfully launched 9 colour variants of our existing and widely-favored products, such as Baton 3 Zombie Green, Perun 2 Mini Lime Green.

To Olight, we always put quality at the forefront when considering creating a new product.
To make our lights your most reliable illumination companions, we have tripled our efforts to improve the quality of our products to new levels. For example, we have focused largely on the quality of batteries used by gradually perfecting our battery inspection process to meet the strictest safety standards. Internally, we upgraded a Quality Management Information System to easily track data during all our processes before an Olight gets into your hands, making it possible to identify and prevent any quality issues from happening.
