Oh yeah I know it’s real. Just seems bonkers to me, like make a good product or don’t. If you make it good enough, it can stand on its own without paid endorsement. Just my humble opinion.Oh it’s real. There was a document leaked a little while back, “vista outdoors”… I beleive was the company. Anyway it showed all of the payed endorsements to YouTube personalities like Garand Thumb and MrGunsNGear etc.
that being said I don’t think Olight is bad for casual use I just think with research and smart shopping you can find better options
but yeah they’re decent lights. My handheld at work is an olight so far it’s been decent. I have one of their small weapon lights on a pistol and it’s worked every time I clicked it on. But also heard of one blowing up and killing a guy too so
