Made in the USA… for that price… ROFL! Try $250-$300 and up for a US made hand heald tactical light. Don't get me wrong I like my Olight flashlights. I actually liked the Warrior 3s distressed titanium model so much I bought two of them. But Olight is a Chinese company through and through. They actually started there unlike many companies that design here and produce there (like Streamlight). They only recently started expanding their US based staff in the last few years. Before that they had only Chinese based representatives. But as a company they push boundaries and make innovations that move the US companies forward as well. Forcing even old school US based companies like Surefire to start innovating again to compete.
Even so they have nothing on a quality US made tactical light like a Modlite or Cload Defensive. For example you get way more brightness… like 52,000 Candela for the Modlite PLHv2 and 69,000 for the Modlite OKW. For reference the Warrior 3s is 26,000 candela.
So you think the Warrior 3s is blinding… it has nothing on the OKW. Which is my preferred EDC bag light. Although I carry either a Surefire Stiletto Pro (or usually) the Olight Baton 3 in my pocket.
However, when I travel overseas I don't take my beloved Modlite due to ITAR restrictions, and if it gets confiscated It'll be expensive to replace. That's why I have two Warrior 3s titanium models. So if one gets confiscated I have a backup.
