so how about we go through the points and really help the op out; of the big names-which have parts stocking warranty centers here in the US-which warranties are the most inclusive-which offer the lights with the longest run times and the most useful levels of output and which lights are correctly labeled as to origin?
I only buy Fenix and only do business with fenixlighting.com for the all inclusive warranty- for the on shore service/support and for the unmatched performance both in run times AND length of operation, I don't believe any other maker offers the same combo of quality/design/support and performance..
Don't work for entities posted, receive no compensation for the posts and I believe both are supporters/advertisers here or am I mistaken?
Other than Surefire, Elzetta, Malkoff, and all the other brands with their own forum here that are all USA made, like I mentioned Olight has excellent customer service here in the USA in Georgia.
I thought my X7 Marauder was having issues so I called Olight. They said I could send the light to them and they would repair or replace it. She also said she could just send me a new tailcap and see if that fixes it. I said yes. I had the new tailcap in 2 days with vinyl stickers and velcro morale patches for free.
Come to find out I just had nyogel on a couple contacts I couldn't see. I guess you're very myopic since you only buy one brand. Or possibly Olight and American made lights are out of your budget.
Edited to add: The Chinese made Olights only have a 5 year warranty, while the American made lights have lifetime warranties.
