TECHNOLOGY FAQS
In 2009 the American National Standards Institute published a standard called the ANSI/NEMA FL 12009 which has become widely accepted in this industry because this made comparisons among different flashlights easier. This defines how flashlight performance should be calculated in terms of beam distance, peak beam intensity, run time, and light output. Until now, most Olight flashlights and headlamps comply with ANSI/NEMA FL1-2009 standards in the aspect of performance testing.
Detailed specifications can be found in their product pages on the official website, or their user manuals.
Most standard Olight flashlights or headlamps are made with aluminum alloy with type III hard anodizing for their main body, with a small number of special editions using stainless steel, copper, titanium, or other materials.
The majority of Olight products are waterproof with different standards, which were given in the form of IPX followed by a number, i.e IPX8, IPX7 etc, among which IPX8 is the highest indicating that the product can be submersed up to two meters for 30 minutes without damage. These standards are shown in the product specifications section.
Olight products typically use Olight branded 18650 or CR123A/RCR123A Li-ion batteries as their power source and are included inside of the product. Other Li-ion batteries, i.e. 26650, built-in Lipo batteries, or AA, and AAA batteries are sometimes also used.
Yes. Most Olight products have batteries included and provide necessary accessories such as a pocket clip, lanyard, charging cables, and so on.
This may because of the protective film in the battery compartment to prevent drain during shipping. You will need to remove the protective film when you receive your product. Another reason may be that the flashlight is in lockout mode to prevent accidental triggering. Try to press and hold the side switch for over one or two seconds until the flashlight blinks once, and it will be back to normal use.
It is normal for a flashlight to start dimming down after being on for a few minutes, especially when it is on a high mode typically over 500 lumens. It is intentionally designed in this way to prevent the light head from reaching a high temperature which could damage the product itself or pose danger to the user. The low battery could also be another possible reason.
Most Olight flashlights and headlamps use a uni-body structure which combines the components of the light into a whole, inseparable body, with only the tail cap removable to insert batteries. This structure greatly reduces the possibility of water damage and makes the build more robust.
