Overall I'm a fan of these Lights. It locks on fairly nice onto my g30. However, there's a quarter inch gap from where it sits on the track making the light looks longer than it is. That's the only downside for me. Aesthetics and personal preference.
Long time olight customer here. There are some holster makers out there that support olights. I personally edc their lights so I haven’t purchased a holster. Though I use them on my home defense guns. They also call every light a limited run, even though they are not really. They have flash sales about once a month with new model of lights.
Yeah, I was thinking maybe this color had a limited run but I don't know. I haven't received a flashlight from them in over 6 months so I haven't really kept up with what they make other than a few of their smaller lights that I have bought as gifts for friends and family
Got the Baldr Mini with green laser and 1 light brightness. Magnetic charging. Paid think 104$ with a free i03T light wirh clip. Oh, had to pick the 'tan' colored ones for flashlight bundle deal. I've zero complaints
Have you tried other brands of batteries? My 2 year old Baldr would not accept other brands. Bad news when the batteries died and Olight no longer stocked them.
@@travisp11 Olight may have fixed the issue in the last couple years, but the Olight batteries that came with the light were about 1mm shorter than the other brands. I had to remove a rubber washer from the bottom of the battery compartment so that a normal CR123a would fit.
2 issues with these lights. First is a personal preference that I prefer the rechargeable options, and second is the button configuration limits holster options because most kydex on light bearing holsters hold the light for retention, and those buttons make the light turn on when inserting into the holster. For nightstand gun use, or a lockbox in the home or vehicle it's a great option.
You make some important points I didn't think about. Yeah, I had mentioned that the holster options may be slim but the form factor of the Olight looks very similar to the TLR 10
I just bought 4 rechargeable surefire batteries and now it's more efficient than a single rechargeable unit. And they also make certain holsters to fit this light. Problems solved.

Right on!
I'm trying to find a viseo for the blue version havent seen it anywhere but sold out?
It may have been a single run production. Olight does that sometimes.
How long does shipping take I’ve just bought new blue color way
I'm not sure. It may depend on where you live. When Olight ships to me in Nebraska it takes about 5 days to get to me.

I have not but I wonder if it would run off of the Streamlight ones. I may need to pick some up.
