History
Olight, which was established by Fox Fan in Shenzhen in 2007, currently focuses on flashlights that can be rechargeable.

In 2014, it launched a new product with a light range of 810 meters, and then a torch with a magnet function.

In 2015, the brand rolled out the S2 Baton, which is small in size but high in brightness, with a total internal reflection (TIR) lens and a magnetized bottom.

At the end of 2018, Olight launched a tactical flashlight called "WARRIOR X".

Criticism and controversies
In November 2017, a man was killed by an Olight flashlight that exploded due to improper use after placing it in his mouth. As of September 2021, the lawsuit alleging negligence by Olight is still being litigated in court.

In March 2022, Olight recalled 215,000 flashlights. Some of these products caused burns after they were accidentally turned on, including three instances of second-degree burns. The recall notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stated that "The flashlights can be turned on inadvertently and overheat while stored in the holster or a consumer's pocket, posing a burn hazard to consumers."
