OLight OClip Pro S

Olight upgraded their already best-selling OCLIP Pro with a new S model. It looks practically identical on the outside. The OClip is named for the large spring clip built into the body that allows the flashlight to clip onto clothing, gear, and objects; and has an embedded magnet to be attach to metal surfaces.

But the difference is more colorful. Instead of simply outputting a red beam for night vision preservation, the S model now offers RGB color; you can cycle between red, green, or blue color output.

The OClip is designed to clip on pockets, backpack straps or even a hat brim. But note that attached to a hat brim The OClip illuminates as much of the user’s face as it does items at hand reach.

Despite its limited beam direction and mounting choices, the design is compact, elegant, and affordable.

OLight imini 2

The Olight iMini 2, a keychain flashlight that only claims to pump out 50 lumens. But this pocket-sized powerhouse illuminates like it’s compensating for something. Probably its size. It’s not because its cold, this compact flashlight makes your Chapstick look like the flashlight she told you not to worry about.

The iMini 2’s design is delightfully simple: two magnetic halves that snap together. The front half houses the LED bult, while the back half terminates in a bare USB-A jack. To activate, simply pull the two halves apart. The light stays on until you reunite the halves, in a snap.

The most surprising feature was its run time. OLight claims a one-hour runtime, but I got considerably more. After an hour, it dimmed like your enthusiasm on Monday morning, then gradually faded over two hours. By the three-hour mark, it was so faint that in daylight, I thought it had given up the ghost. But I discovered it was still on with a faint glow; maybe just 1 lumen? I left it on my desk where it ran for another 12 hours before I gave up on testing it because I had to recharge it for filming more testing the next day.

At around $20, this diminutive dynamo costs less than a movie ticket and outlasts most celebrity marriages.

OSight XR

The XR is the newest micro reflex red dot from OSight. It features an enclosed emitter body and significant performance upgrades. It adds two options for the size of its dot (2 MOA and 6 MOA) and adds additional charge capacity to its cover (5x instead of 4x), for a jaw-dropping +30 years of runtime.

This RMR footprint optic has a clear window at the rear to protect the rear of the lens from weather, moisture, and debris that could render traditional reflex sights useless. The unit has a relatively low deck, though not low enough for me to co-witness my Glock’s factory sights. The unit has a set of spring-loaded pop-up rear sights built into the rear deck, which can be utilized with some practice.

OLight flashlights surprised the firearms community when they launched the OSight two years ago. Their flagship product was the first magnetic recharging micro reflex sight red dot. This pistol red dot charges using a unique protective cover that also functions as a wired USB-C charger or detached as a mobile power bank for the OSight. The OSign XR has clever LED indicators to inform the user about the internal battery level and the battery level of the cover, so there should be no surprises at the range or on the job.

OSight XG

Earlier this year when I tested the original OSight X, I wondered when they would come out with a green reticle. Well they finally have. This new OSight XG is nearly identical to the original OSight X with very minor cosmetic changes to the placement of the logo on the frame. It retains the 3 changeable reticles and the wireless recharging cover and improves it’s maximum battery life by 20,000 hrs.

The human eye is more sensitive to the green end of the visible spectrum. Many shooters with astigmatism say green dots are clearer and sharper to their eyes. This new XG provides a desired option for many shooters.

OLight OStation X

OLight has been branching out beyond EDC lights with products like gun red dot sights, lighting strips, tools, and pens. At SHOT Show 2025 they debuted something completely different: an automated AA battery charger.

The OStation X is a colored translucent box that reminds me of a Tangerine iMac knock-off PC from the 2000’s. This unit holds up to 32 drained AA batteries. Simply drop in your batteries—no need to check (+)/(-) polarity. It auto-detects battery type and offers both a standard 3.8-hour and fast 2.5-hour charging mode. It will automatically test them ancharge 4 of them at a time and drop the charged battery into a dispenser tray at the bottom. Any defective batteries will be kicked out and held in a reject tray for disposal.

The unit will only charge AA NiMH batteries. A different model changes AAA batteries. It should prove invaluable for working environments where AA batteries are often used for work comms, devices, and tools. They may also appeal to young families with kids and their many toys. But this should have come out 15 years ago before everything became USB-C rechargeable.

OSight X

OLight surprised many when they quietly debuted their OSight micro-reflex sight. Nobody expected a flashlight company known for high-performance-budget-priced EDCs to make a pistol optic. I was not expecting them to follow up the following year with a big launch of two new variants, the compact OSight S (which I have reviewed) and the upgraded OSight X.

I presume the X stands for extra because on the surface the X looks nearly identical to the standard OSight. It has some minor superficial differences with the placement of logos and a different-sized tap and counter-sink on the mounting holes to utilize more industry-standard mounting screws. The X retains the OSights features such as motion activation, wireless recharging cover, and auto-brightness sensing.

The X now features user-changeable reticles. Pressing the “-” button allows the user to cycle between a 3 MOA dot, 32 MOA sunburst circle, and 32 MOA circle-dot. The X also has a slightly larger battery capacity and substantially longer runtime. The X is rated to run for 57,000 hours, whilst the standard OSight was rated 70,000 hours with the dot set at its lowest brightness. Both will run for about 2 weeks constant at max brightness.

The X can be recharged using OLights USB magnetic contact chargers used on their EDC flashlights but its primary charging method is the plastic cover box which displays the current battery charge level of the OSight when attached. Moreover, the charging cover has an onboard battery that can fully recharge the OSight up to 4 times. The cover can be plugged into a USB-C cable to recharge the OSight and the cover.

The battery capacity indicator alone should change the minds of anyone (myself included) concerned with a red dot with a dead battery. Replacing a coin battery quickly and cheaply has its advantages, but no red dot I own can display the current charge level of the coin battery powering it. With the cover recharges and onboard battery, the X can theoretically run for over 28 years when both are fully charged.

With all of these upgrades, I’m left with only three questions. First, when is OLight coming out with a green illuminated OSight X? Second, why even make the standard OSight without the X’s features? Third, shut up and take my money.

OLight OSight S

Last year, Olight released the OSight, a revolutionary micro reflex sight (MRD) with a unique wireless charging cover. The OSight features an oversized window, which is great for fast target acquisition and re-engaging the target during rapid fire. However, a large window is a negative for those who want to mount an MRD onto a compact concealed carry pistol. OLight created the OSight S to address this issue.

The OSIght S (presumably this stands for “small) uses an RMSc footprint and is one of the smallest enclosed emitter red dots available. It is roughly half the physical size of the OSight but its smaller size means it also has a smaller battery. Fully charged an OSight can run for up to 21,000 hours, which is over 2 years. For those concerned with a non-replaceable internal battery, the OSight comes with a cover that displays the OSights battery charge level. Moreover, this cover functions as a mini-powerbank, capable of recharging the OSight up to 4 times.

Despite its small size the OSight S has the full-sized OSight X’s changeable reticle system. The user can press the “-” button to switch between a 2 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, and a circle-dot reticle. This feature makes the OSight S one of the smallest MRDs on the market and also the most versatile.

OLight OSight Red Dot

Olight is a flashlight company known for making high-performance flashlights for a more reasonable price point than more tactical brands such as Surefire and Streamlight. It was a bit surprising when Olight quietly previewed a micro-reflex sight at SHOT Show 2024. OLight makes weapon lights but is the first flashlight company to make a weapon optic (that I’m aware of).

The OSight is unusual among micro-reflex sights for having an oversized lens window and for being powered by an internal rechargeable battery. Moreover, it is unique in that its lens cover is also its charger and a mini-powerbank capable of recharging the OSight up to 4 times without being plugged into a USB-C cable. Fully charged the unit can run for up to 70,000 hours on low brightness which is impressive.

The Osight functions like a perfectly normal red dot and now comes in a green dot version as well. It also has auto-dimming, motion activation, and auto-off. And like OLight’s other products, the OSight comes in at a reasonable price compared to premium brands such as Trijicon and Holosun.

70,000 hours is a long time, nearly 8 years at low power; and they claim it will run continuously on the highest brightness for 17 days. But why would you need to constantly keep it charged? It seems a bit of an overpowered solution to the problem of changing a CR2032 coin battery. But overpowered for a reasonable price is something Olight is known for. I’ll leave that for the consumer to decide.

OLight OClip Pro

The OLight send me a special holiday limited edition OClip Pro, which has snowflake graphics on the front of an anodized candy cane red body. A large spring clip runs the length of the unit on its back allowing it to be clipped onto clothing, gear, and objects. Furthermore, the base of the clip contains an embedded magnet allowing the unit to be attached to metal surfaces.

The unit is about the size of an OLight Arkfeld if you cut off 2/3 of the length. The Pro model has a trio of LED emitters on the front side of the unit which face outward when clipped onto a pocket, lapel, or backpack strap allowing you to illuminate the area in front of you whilst leaving both hands free. The three emitters are controlled by a selector dial on the side with an integrated button.

The unit’s emitters include a long throw beam with a tight hotspot capable of illuminating objects over 100ft away. A wide flood beam which casts a broad defuse light, and a high intensity red LED. The flood and focus beams have a Turbo, High, Medium, and Moonlight mode (and strobe). The red emitter has constant or beacon mode.

The flood beam was able to emit about 455 lumens in Turbo mode, which aligns with the 500 lumens Olight claims when fully recharged. In my endurance testing, I was able to achieve a 120 minute runtime starting in Turbo mode. Unlike many of Olights flashlights, the OClip uses a standard USB-C port for charging which I find to be a welcome option. The USB-C port cover does not allow the unit to be submersible in water.

The only drawback to the right-angle design is that he clip and ergonomics do not lend itself to be used as a clip on headlamp. When clipped to the brim of my baseball cap, the majority of the light hits my chin and some of the spill does also blind the user. Despite this one mode of use, the OClip is a useful secondary light and is bright enough to be used as a primary and is compact and light enough to truly an Every Day Cary flashlight.
