Frequently Asked Questions

How durable is the new Olight S weapon light?

The Olight S demonstrated significant durability in a 5-foot drop test onto concrete. While it sustained cosmetic damage like scratches and marring, its enclosed emitter windows and internal components remained intact and functional.

What material contributes to the Olight S's durability?

The presenter suggests that the Olight S's improved durability is due to its new housing material, which is not solely aluminum. This material appears to offer better resistance to impact and damage during drops.

Is the Olight S suitable for concealed carry?

Yes, the Olight S is described as a smaller, enclosed emitter optic that is well-suited for concealed carry applications, offering a balance of size and protection.

How does the Olight S compare to the Olight X in terms of durability?

The Olight S and Olight X are different systems. The presenter clarifies that negative drop test results for the Olight X should not be extrapolated to the Olight S, as they are distinct products with potentially different designs and materials.
