Are you looking for a powerful tactical flashlight, but don’t want to burn a hole in your wallet? If yes, we hear you.👂
When you have purchased and reviewed so many tactical flashlights, you realize that these are more expensive than any other type of flashlight. Tactical flashlights are a little different than regular flashlights. Their unique features, functionality, manufacturing process, and overall body construction are what make them expensive. Only a few flashlight manufacturing companies give you premium quality tactical flashlights under 💰$100, and Olight is one of them.
Why is Tactical Flashlight Expensive?
Unlike normal EDC flashlights, tactical flashlights are made for special situations. As the saying goes, anything that is made for special situations has special features; this applies to tactical flashlights too. Tactical flashlights are more expensive than other flashlights because they are designed to be more durable and feature-rich. They are made of higher-quality materials and have advanced features such as rugged body construction, strobe mode, multiple brightness levels, proximity sensor, tail switch, and more.
Though tactical flashlights are often used by the military and law enforcement, you as a civilian can also buy one for yourself. You can use this flashlight for self-defense, outdoor activities, illuminating dark areas, and sending signals in demanding environments when required.
One standout feature of a tactical flashlight is that it can be mounted on a firearm or used in conjunction with other tactical equipment, such as helmet mounts. On the expensive side, some even come with a built-in laser beam.
In general, tactical flashlights are more specialized and are intended for use in specific situations where a more robust and feature-rich flashlight is needed. This is what makes them more expensive than other flashlights.

A tactical Flashlight is a Useful Device to Carry Around
Investing in a tactical flashlight can be one of the best investments you can make in everyday security. Most people think buying a flashlight is a waste of money, but they’ll never know its importance unless they own one and use it. Stop relying on smartphone lights!
The three most important features you should look for in a tactical flashlight are Lumen, light mode, and material. The Olight Warrior series flashlights have a lumen output of 1000 and above, they have multiple brightness levels including strobe and the body is made of aluminum alloy.
More than the features of a flashlight, what is more, important is the brand. Just think for a second, why do people buy an iPhone when it’s the most expensive smartphone? Apple is a brand and its products have top-notch quality and features. Similarly, when you buy a flashlight, look for reputable brands. When you buy from brands such as Olight, the price you pay is always worth the price.
