Olight

Olight is a maker of torches, head torches, lanterns and small rechargeable lights, sold through its own UK store. If you have arrived here looking for one of its better-known models, the important news is that several of them are now listed as discontinued on that store, including the Array 2S headlamp, the Baton 3 pocket torch and the S1R Baton II¹. Discontinued is a sales status, not a safety warning: it means Olight has stopped making and selling the model through its own store, and the product page stays online for reference.

That distinction matters for two reasons. First, some discontinued models still show a "Buy on Amazon" link on their Olight pages, so old stock can still be found elsewhere³. Second, a discontinued light you already own remains perfectly usable, unless a separate recall or safety notice applies to it, which for Olight models listed here it does not.

This page sets out which Olight models are discontinued, which current models sit in their place, what to do if you already own a discontinued one, and how the recall system works for lights and electrical items generally. For the broader picture of what a UK household should keep ready, see our emergency lighting, power cuts and backup power guides.

The Array 2S headlamp: discontinued, and what sits in its place

Olight's UK store lists the Array 2S headlamp as discontinued¹. The page remains online and still describes what the light does, which is useful if you own one and want to check its features. The Array 2S produced a 1000-lumen beam, with light sources covering flood and spotlight combined, floodlight on its own, spotlight on its own, red light and SOS¹. It offered 10 different useful settings with mode memory, and its headband was described by the maker as weightless, elastic and sweat-proof, adjustable by 60 degrees¹. You could also control it by waving a hand: left and right to switch mode, up and down to change brightness¹.

If you were hoping to buy an Array 2S new, the closest current model in the Olight range is the Array 2 Pro. It is a headlamp offering a white LED floodlight, a combined floodlight and spotlight, a spotlight mode, and a red LED mode⁵. When checked, the Array 2 Pro was itself marked Out of Stock on the UK store, in an Orange bundle⁵. That is a different status from discontinued: out of stock suggests the maker still sells the model and expects it back, whereas discontinued means it has been retired. Check the Array 2 Pro product page before making plans around it, because stock changes.

For a household building an emergency kit, a head torch is one of the most useful lights you can own, because it leaves both hands free for finding fuse boxes, checking on children or carrying things during a power cut. Our emergency lighting guide explains what to look for across all the options, and our power cuts guide covers the wider steps to take when the supply fails.

The Baton 3: discontinued, with newer Batons in the range

The Baton 3, a 1200-lumen pocket EDC torch, is listed as discontinued on Olight's UK store². Olight described it as an upgraded version of the earlier S1R Baton II, so its retirement means two generations of that line have now left the maker's own store². As with the Array 2S, the product page remains online for reference, and it still showed a Red colour variant when checked².

The Baton family itself continues, so if you wanted a small pocket torch from Olight there are current models to consider:

Two things are worth noting from the maker's own descriptions. The Baton 3 Pro Max's proximity sensor, which dims or cuts the light when something is close to the lens to prevent overheating, can be disabled temporarily or permanently⁹. The Baton Turbo's recessed switch is designed for safe carry in a pocket, with a display showing brightness and power levels at a glance⁶. A Baton 3 Pro Max Brass Stonewash edition was limited to 240 units in Olight UK, in brass with stonewashing for durability and corrosion resistance⁹.

A pocket torch is the light most households reach for first, and our emergency lighting guide explains where it fits alongside lanterns and head torches.

The S1R Baton II: discontinued, and its stablemate with it

The S1R Baton II is listed as discontinued on Olight's UK store³. It was a finger-sized torch with a 1000-lumen output, USB rechargeable, with a second-generation TIR optic lens that the maker said pushed the beam to a new level with unmatched clarity and a balanced hot spot³. It kept track of remaining battery with a three-colour indicator light, and a dual-direction pocket clip allowed it to be attached to belts, pockets and backpacks, or to a hat brim³. Its body had an articulate texturized pattern for a firmer grip³.

Although discontinued on Olight's own store, the S1R Baton II page still carried a Buy on Amazon link when checked³, so remaining stock may be found through that route. The S2R Baton II, a closely related model described as tiny and powerful with a 1150-lumen output, is also listed as discontinued¹⁰. It offered a double-sided clip, lanyard and magnetic tail cap for carry options¹⁰. Since the Baton 3, itself the S1R Baton II's upgrade, is now also discontinued², the current pocket-torch options from Olight are the Baton 4 and Baton 3 Pro Max covered above.

Other Olight models listed as discontinued

Beyond the three models above, a fair share of the Olight range shown on the UK store carries the discontinued mark. If you own any of these, the same principles apply: the status is commercial, not a safety warning, and the pages remain online for reference.

A few of these are worth a line more. The i1R 2 EOS Kit delivered two output modes, 150 lumens on high and 5 lumens on low, selected with a quick twist of the head that also turned the light on and off¹¹. The i5R EOS offered momentary-on and mode shifting between 15 and 350 lumens through a non-slip tactical tail switch²¹. The i18 Brass, also twist-operated, was stated by the maker to have an output 20% higher than the i1R 2¹⁸. The Obulb Pro was Olight's first app-controlled light via Bluetooth, with the app enabling mode, brightness and colour changes, group control of up to 8 groups, data sharing, and checks of remaining power and runtime¹⁴. The RN 1500 bike headlight is out of stock rather than discontinued, with a Buy on Amazon link shown²².

For context on how makers handle retired models, Ledlenser, another light maker sold in the UK, marks its own discontinued items such as the iW2R and P2R Work with the words "THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. This page is for information only." The practice of keeping reference pages online after a model retires is common across the industry.

What discontinued means, and how to check a model's status

On Olight's UK store, discontinued means the maker has stopped producing the model and no longer sells it through its own store. It is not a recall, and it is not a statement about safety. Three practical points follow from it:

• The product page usually stays online, so you can still look up your light's features, modes and operating instructions¹.
• Some discontinued pages still show a Buy on Amazon link, so new-old stock may be available from other sellers³.
• Accessories and related current models remain sold separately, so a discontinued torch does not strand the rest of your kit.

To check any Olight model, go to its product page on the Olight UK store and look at the status shown there. The store uses two different marks, and telling them apart saves confusion:

The Motion Sensor illustrates how the two can sit close together in the range: it was marked Out of Stock when checked²³. It automatically reports human motion detection status, supports OTA upgrade, and Olight states it must be used in conjunction with the maker's Obounds product²³. Statuses change, so treat the product page as the authoritative source at the moment you check it.

If you already own a discontinued Olight

Keep using it. A discontinued light is a working light, and the maker's decision to stop selling a model says nothing about the unit in your drawer. The sensible steps are the ones that apply to any rechargeable light or electrical item in the home:

• Keep the product page bookmarked, since Olight leaves discontinued pages online as reference for features and operation¹.
• Follow the maker's operating instructions for your model, for example the twist operation of the i1R 2 EOS or i18 Brass¹¹.
• Charge and store the light as the maker describes, and check the battery indicator where your model has one, such as the S1R Baton II's three-colour indicator³.
• Register your electrical items so you hear about any future recall. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service guidance on electrical safety notes that to register an appliance you will typically need the model name or number, the serial number and the purchase date²⁴.

That last point deserves emphasis, because it is where a genuine safety issue would reach you. Recalls of lights and electrical products in the UK are published by the government's product safety reporting system and by Electrical Safety First, and they name specific models. Discontinued status from a maker never appears in those systems; a recall notice does.

Olight kit that supports household emergency lighting

Olight's range is built around personal lighting rather than power storage, so it contributes to the lighting part of a household emergency plan rather than to backup power itself. Within the current range, a few models stand out for what they do:

• Marauder 3: a torch available to buy on the Olight UK store and Amazon UK when checked, in Midnight Blue.
• Baton 4: a 1300-lumen pocket torch with a 170-meter beam distance and a metal switch⁸.
• Baton 3 Pro Max: a 2500-lumen torch with a disable-able proximity sensor⁹.
• Prowess: a torch with dual-direction illumination that can be used as a desk lamp, attached to metal surfaces with its magnetic tail, propped on a tripod, or hung on a wall with the included holster and bracket²⁵.

The Prowess is worth a second look for preparedness because of that flexibility: a light that can stand on a surface, stick to metal or hang from a wall can serve as a room light during a power cut rather than only a handheld torch²⁵. Our emergency lighting guide explains how to combine torches, lanterns and head torches so that a household is not dependent on one device, and our emergency kit page sets out where lighting sits among the other essentials.

For longer outages, lighting is only one part of the picture. Our backup power guide covers keeping phones and essential devices running, and staying informed explains how to receive alerts when the networks are under strain.

Safety notices and recalls: how the system works

No recall or safety notice in the pack applies to any Olight product. But because this page is about owning lights that are no longer sold, it is worth knowing how recalls of lighting and electrical products work in the UK, using real recent examples from the same product categories.

Electrical Safety First, the electrical safety charity, publishes recall notices for affected products. Its notice for the Tycolit C10F6 floodlight advises:

Government product safety reports follow a consistent pattern: a report on a Lusta LED reptile heat lamp sold via Amazon recommended that owners stop using the product immediately and contact the distributor they purchased from to request redress²⁶, and reports on a YIYUANJI rechargeable torch and a Luxvista reptile heat lamp noted that the listings had been removed by the online marketplace²⁷.

The pattern to take away is consistent and simple:

1. A recall names specific models, often with model numbers, and identifies where they were sold.
2. The advice is to stop using the affected item immediately.
3. You contact the retailer or distributor you bought it from for redress.
4. The listing is removed from the marketplace so no more are sold.

None of these steps applies to a discontinued status. If a notice like these ever names a model you own, that is the moment to act on it; until then, a discontinued Olight is simply a light the maker no longer sells.

Where to go next

If you came here deciding what to buy, the current Olight range on the UK store covers pocket torches, head torches and larger lights, with the models above as the current options in each line. If you came here because a model you own is discontinued, the short answer is that nothing changes for you: the page stays up, the light keeps working, and only a named recall would say otherwise.

To place lighting in a full household plan, start with getting started for the overall approach, then the emergency kit checklist, and the lighting, power cuts and backup power guides for the parts of a plan that Olight's kit touches.
