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.

@rbd22 Odd indeed. I imagine they didn't like what I had to say in my review, but they had the option of terminating the affiliate account before anybody used it.

Woah, that is not cool. How much in sales does that come out to?

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.
