Illuminating the thin blue line
I bought my first Olight about 2 years ago. The Boldr mini was the perfect fit for my duty weapon. I've been hooked since. When my department issued lights die in the middle of my shift, my Olights keep going strong. Olights have helped me give field sobriety tests, find runaway pets, run VINs of stolen vehicles, locate those narcotics hidden in the trunk, see that gun on the passenger seat at the 'bad guys' ready, locate pedestrians thrown over (or under) the guardrail after being struck by a driver that didn't care enough to stop and so much more. It's nice knowing I can count on Olight while others are counting on me.
How it started
My story is very similar to Alot of people's, it started with a light I got a few years ago and has developed into morethen just a light and a company, it has unveiled friendships with new people, getting to know new things, being part of this community is nothing less then family, I lost my leg in a motorcycle accident a few years back, befor I got the prosthetic that I am on now I had Alot of down time,, olight filled that time for me, with the people, great company that treats the customer amazingly, if thereis a problem they will fix it!! Thanks for everything olight
Best Tool For The Job
I’m as a few months ago, a retired law enforcement officer. Our department issue flashlight is a Pelican 7575. Strong body great throw but with a major flaw. It can run for roughly an hour and needs 10 to 11 hours to recharge on a special charger. I was working Metro and normally this was ok but during the pandemic and protesters throughout the city, I needed a good light that can recharge fast on the go! So glad I bought the Warrior X Pro! Compact, solid, great throw and wide beam area. Because of the USB magnetic charging cable, I Cold keep it charge with a battery bank or USB port in our unit.
One night we responded to a call of protesters sitting homeless camps on fire with people in the camp. As multiple units arrived, the protesters fled under some freeway bridge and maintenance areas that had no lighting. Officers approach but I was on the top of the bridge. I used my Warrior X Pro and it lit the entire area up. We could spot five people hiding and one with a crossbow taking aim at the officers. Because my light was so bright and shining down from above, the protesters thought it was “air support (helicopter) and surrendered. Officers could see the threat with the crossbow and order him to drop the weapon, he complied. Thanks to the power and area my Olight offered, we mange to make the arrest and keep officers from getting hurt by an arrow. I’m grateful to Olight for this.
