Olight Weapon Lights

Compare current Olight weapon lights in South Africa by mounting interface, physical size, beam pattern, output and power source. Start with fit: confirm the exact rail, available slot and clearance on your setup, then check the individual product page for included adapters, current price and stock.

How to Choose an Olight Weapon Light

• Check the rail and available space first. Picatinny or 1913 and Glock-style rails use different keys or adapters. A compatible rail name alone does not guarantee frame, control or holster clearance.
• Choose compact or full-size. Compact lights reduce bulk on shorter setups; full-size models can provide more output, reach or runtime where there is enough mounting space.
• Compare lumens and candela. Lumens describe total light output, while candela indicates beam intensity. A wider flood beam helps with nearby context; a higher-intensity spot reaches farther.
• Choose the light source you need. Some models provide white light only, while Baldr models combine white light with an adjustable green aiming beam. Confirm local requirements and safe operation before use.
• Choose a charging or battery system. The current range includes USB-C charging, magnetic charging and replaceable-battery models. Check the product page and included accessories before ordering.

Replacing a Retired Model?

The retired PL-3 and PL-3S store listings now lead to the current PL-3R listing. The retired Black PL Mini 3 store URL leads to the current Black PL-Mini 2 listing.
