OLIGHT Thread

I have an Olight R50 pro. It's a decent flashlight, but I don't recommend it for two reasons:

#1. It requires the use of Olight proprietary batteries. You have to buy theirs, and at a hefty mark-up.

#2. There is a glow in the dark ring around the edge of the reflector dome of the light, which will give away your position even if you turn the light off. Not a big deal if you don't intend to use the light for tactical purposes (or in the commission of burglaries), but it's a definite no-no for law enforcement use.
