Were You a Witness to These Changes?
How many changes have happened in a year? Here, you can find the changes Olight has made over one year since the brand promise was released on our 15th anniversary in 2022. Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom to find out who our 100 O-Witnesses worldwide are.
Customer-centered promises drive us to move forward and remind us to continually take your feedback into serious consideration. Based on the 4 quarterly surveys collected from our customers, we are rated 4.18, 4.35, 4.23, and 4.29 respectively out of five on average in products, customer service, shopping experience, and logistics. We have learned more about ourselves by focusing on these four categories which are essential to your Olight experience.
We would like to thank all of you who have participated in our satisfaction surveys. Hopefully, the yearly review (4/2022 — 3/2023) below can offer you a wider picture of what we have done to meet and exceed your expectations.
About Product:
What we have committed to:
Olight continues to focus on delivering more reliable and innovative lighting products.
What we have done:
1. Kept and improved versions of our classic product series. The Marauder mini, Obulb Pro, Valkyrie Turbo, Baton 3 Pro, etc., were inspiring additions to our classic line-ups with enhanced performances.
2. Continued expanding into new lighting categories. We were proud to launch the dual light source EDC flashlight — the Arkfeld, a multi-use safety light — the Gober, a work light — the Odiance, a 2-in-1 angled foregrip light — the Sigurd, and even more, all to bring you more illumination solutions.
3. Kept the O-designer Program thriving. By listening to and integrating the wonderful suggestions from our fans to improve our products, we successfully launched 9 color variants of our existing and widely-favored products, such as i5R Zombie Green, Warrior Mini 2 Battle Green, Warrior Mini 2 Black Lava, etc.
4. Continued bringing in new materials and seeking manufacturing process innovation. We spearheaded the application of some new materials into flashlights, including magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, etc., and achieved some of the highest quality craftsmanship.
Furthermore, Olight was the first brand to be accredited with the CNAS LABORATORY ACCREDITATION CERTIFICATE in the outdoor lighting industry in China and obtained 123 patents regarding product innovation.
To Olight, we always put quality at the forefront when considering creating a new product.
To make our lights your most reliable illumination companions, we have tripled our efforts to improve the quality of our products to new levels. For example, we have focused largely on the quality of batteries used by gradually perfecting our battery inspection process to meet the strictest safety standards. Internally, we upgraded a Quality Management Information System to easily track data during all our processes before an Olight gets into your hands, making it possible to identify and prevent any quality issues from happening.
About Customer Service
What we have committed to:
Olight Continues to Provide Excellent Service.
What we have done:
- Continued consolidating after-sales service
1. We have launched the Warranty & Repair section on our official website, where both registered customers and third-party clients can submit their repair requests through Olightstore.com. This helps to save communication time and customers can receive return information by email within 2 hours of submission. Registered users who submit a refund request through the after-sale section can have their application approved and receive a refund confirmation email within 2 hours.
2. Our after-sales processing procedures are constantly being improved and there is staff handling them during flash sales to shorten customers' waiting times. Currently, we can repair or replace the product within 2 business days of receiving the returned package from the customer. During the flash sale, we can complete the after-sales service process within 3 business days. This is a 5-day improvement compared to 2022.
3. Starting from March 2023, our Livechat support will be available 24 hours from Monday through Friday, and our goal is to respond to emails within 2 hours (average email response time in 2023 was 5.71 hours in January, 2.23 hours in February, and 1.52 hours in March).

Kept updating membership benefits
1. We have updated the membership system in September 2022 which was introduced on the membership page more clearly and concisely; one new level and three new benefits were added and three existing benefits were revised, among which the free postage for black diamond members is the most popular one.
2. Products in the redemption zone will be updated on the 1st of each month; meanwhile, some surprise gifts will also be launched for redemption to satisfy customer's desires.
3. We offered many birthday benefits to our members in 2022.
(1) We prepared free exclusive birthday gifts i3T and handwritten cards to customers with yellow diamonds and above, 2,200+ members have received exclusive birthday gifts.
(2) Birthday patches and blessing cards were randomly placed in the orders of customers who placed orders in their birthday month. 3,000+ members have received handwritten Blessing cards.
4. We have launched 12 half-price trial products totally for Yellow Diamond and above members in the past year.
Based on the feedback of our O-Fam, this year we'll continue to optimize our membership in September, providing a better membership experience for all O-Fans.

Continued thoughtfully preparing surprise gifts
1. 36 surprise gifts were created and over 42,000 were given away in the past year.
2. In the past year, we have prepared over 2,000 surprise gifts for customers for the 15th anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, etc.
We're committed to creating and designing more unique gifts, so as to provide all customers with more positive customer-focused services.

Additionally, we were honored to witness a meaningful shopping experience among most of you who participated in the breast cancer charity sale. We donated all of the proceeds — $90,851 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (USA). It goes to prove that your purchase of a flashlight can be vital to help those in need. Olight will look for more opportunities to give back to the world, and we look forward to having you with us along this journey.
About Logistics
What we have committed to:
Olight Strives to Improve Logistics Delivery Efficiency.
