Free Olight I1R2 (Worth £19.95) Tonight From 8pm

    As the title says, a free Olight I1R2 is available tonight from 8pm in their Elite sale via their website https://www.olightstore.uk/customer/free

    All you have to do is log into your account or register an account, and share the link provided by them to Facebook, Twitter or via Email and you'll great a free random coloured I1R2 into your basket this evening at 8pm.

    You do have to pay for postage but that's just £4.95 (Pretty sure it costs that) and it's well worth it for the flashlight on offer.

    They also have some good bundle offers available this evening if you wanna spend a few quid on some cool flashlights. I'm sure many people on here have some Olight flashlights already and will agree they make good quality flashlights.

    Enjoy :)

    When you successfully share at 9am 17/08-midnight 28/08, a free i1R 2 EOS will be added to your cart automatically when you log in again during the sale time (8pm 24/08-midnight 28/08). Note: Colour will be randomly selected.

    do you have to share at a specific time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,610 ✭✭✭shocksy


    do you have to share at a specific time?

    No, I'd advise sharing before 8pm though so it'll be in your basket when the sale goes live. I'd imagine it's only while stocks last so if anyone wants it free I'd be on the ball and get it as soon as possible.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭Brego888


    Hmmm, £5 for a torch I don't need nor want. Decisions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,129 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Is it like the last free one, the size of a pimple on a flea's butt? :pac:

    :pac::pac::pac::D:D:D

    That was the Olight i3e.

    This one is small too though. The main difference being it has more lumens and is rechargable.

    Thanks OP, grabbed one earlier and have already had the dispatch email from DPD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,933 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    I just did this now and got it in case anyone is wondering if it is still ongoing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,498 ✭✭✭recyclops


    still working as of last minute or so

    This. Told herself. Got "But why, we've got loads of small torches?".

    Like, what a silly question, it's a bargain!

    How did you get it so quickly - you ordered on the offer last night??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,872 ✭✭✭budhabob


    This is a great little torch!!! fantastic value at that price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,429 ✭✭✭Kenjataimu


    You don't even need to share.
    I clicked on the facebook share link and backed out ( I don't have a Facebook) and it automatically put the torch in my basket.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭Testament1


    Offer still active, just got one there. Shared the email to an old account I stopped using years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,948 ✭✭✭SouthWesterly


    Ordered at lunchtime and just got a text from dpd for delivery tomorrow.
    Hope I'm as impressed with the torch


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,348 ✭✭✭GhostyMcGhost


    Still going. Got on this a bit late but still available

    You don’t have to share, just hit share but on the share page don’t make the post, just close it

    Nice one!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 787 ✭✭✭cnoc


    Is there a battery charger supplied with this torch?

    It'll be micro or USB C no need for a charger to be supplied

    Another question! I cannot enter my County, even though I have entered Ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭Decoda


    Thanks op, just ordered one. Like another poster said, just click on the facebook link and then back out, the light will have been added to you cart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,424 ✭✭✭StaticNoise


    I ordered around 6pm, and I got a text from DPD around twenty minutes later. Serious service.

    As for the previous poster with address issues, it's a known problem. I worked by entering the address, then changing the country, and then starting again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,027 ✭✭✭jpb1974


    Ordered the freebie and a full price torch 24 hours ago and now't yet... FFS :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Alfie1


    Just ordered one, already have one but they are a great little torch, a bargain for €5.70 delivered.

    Thanks OP :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 320 ✭✭dedaw


    Chanced it just now and still working. Thanks Op!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,181 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    Just ordered, thanks OP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,040 ✭✭✭✭Del2005


    Think the courier just delivered my torch to my neighbour. Got a text from DPD saying delivery around now, had a DPD delivery last week and a similar van just dropped off next door!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,054 ✭✭✭Pique


    35 hours from order to delivery out in the sticks.

    That's some service!

    Mine arrived an hour ago from DPD. Ordered 8pm Monday, arrives 11am Wednesday. Don't think I've ever had such a quick internet order ever!

    Yeah, mine was the same. Had a message from DPD with 20 mins of my order, then an email to say the order was delayed....arrived late this morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,716 ✭✭✭brightkane


    I think some retailers hold stock with DPD and its sent immediately from DPD warehouse the minute an order is put through. (i am not saying this is the case with the flashlight)

    I think Virgin do this, ie order today and you have it the next day.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,406 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Hmmm, ordered yesterday but no word on dispatch or anything from DPD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,610 ✭✭✭shocksy


    I just received mine from DPD now. I got the mint green colour. Great little light.

    To respond to some previous posts, I follow the Olight page on Facebook, and they did a couple of live videos before and since the sale. They worked through the night on the night of the sale to get orders out. Then DPD came and collected another load of packages yesterday evening from them and they'll do the same again today. They don't have DPD hold any of their stock. The Irish/UK part of the business is based in Northern Ireland so that's why DPD are quite efficient with the deliveries.

    Everyone who ordered on the first night should receive their package today or tomorrow apparently.

    Seems fairly pointless seeing as every phone has a torch these days. Good present for kids though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,110 ✭✭✭Thirdfox


    https://olightworld.com/olight-i1r-2-eos-black - here is the technical specifications btw - and after checking Aliexpress it seems that £5 is a reasonable discount price for the item - ordered one too.

    Here's a slightly worse torch for $5.34 on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000214644098.html

    And a slightly more comparable one for around $9: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000214644098.html

    ^ Of course if ordering from Aliexpress items can take 2-3 months to arrive - especially right now with the pandemic.


    On the US website they even put up the technical and testing procedures/results which is impressive from the company:

    phone lumens usually in the 30-80 range with no focus /cover range

    this is 150 max lumens with quite a decent 40m focus.

    so the applicability of a tiny torch is different from a phone flash light.

    It's not about being useful it's about being a Bargain :D

    I just ordered a second one - used a different email :)

    Arrived today. Small in size, but fairly powerful.
    9hr on the low setting, 15 minutes on high.

    Green, too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭adamshred


    Ordered yesterday, arrived this morning, deadly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Ordered at 5.00pm on Tuesday, received it this morning.

    FFS.. still nothing, ordinarily a few days would be no big deal but seeing that everyone else got theirs I'm a little concerned. Have emailed them :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,498 ✭✭✭recyclops


    lovely olive green arrived today, impressed tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,948 ✭✭✭SouthWesterly


    Got mine today. Ordered another one last night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Alfie1


    Mine arrived earlier, green.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭bromley52


    I didn't realise they were so small. Don't think I would pay full price.
