A new Olight flash sale went live, and will run through 11:59pm EST 10/26/23.
The flash sale features a mixed selection of Olight EDC flashlights, including a couple in “Pumpkin stain,” “antique bronze,” and “zombie green” color patterns.
The freebie is a Halloween-themed i3E EOS AAA light, which can be purchased for $0 by itself (while supplies last) if you’re willing to log in and pay the $5 flat shipping fee.

Newly launched is the Olight Warrior Nano, a compact tactical-style EDC flashlight that’s powered by an 18350 Li-ion battery.
The Olight Warrior Nano delivers up to 1200 lumens and 4,697 candela of illumination.
It has a side switch for mode selection and on/off control, and a tail cap for alternate on/off and momentary activation modes.
I have been testing a Warrior Nano – provided by Olight – and have yet to make up my mind about it.
The Warrior Nano shrinks down the core functionality of a Warrior Mini into a more pocket-friendly size. It’s not as compact or pocket-friendly as the Baton 3, but it has a tail cap switch and larger battery size.
For some, the Warrior Nano could be the Goldilocks size. Personally, I like choosing between smaller or larger longer-running and more powerful lights depending on the context.

Maybe the Warrior Nano will unseat the Baton 3 (and its predecessor) as my favorite EDC pocket-carry lights.
As with most of Olight’s other rechargeable flashlights, the Warrior Nano has a magnetic tail cap charging system. You’ll need to supply your own USB-A charging adapter.
Here’s a better look at the Halloween free gift light. The i3E is a very good AAA light in my opinion, for its size and typical ~$10 price. If you’re a fan of the Halloween-themed design, you can get the light for free if you’re willing to log in and pay $5 for shipping.

I’ll take the “free” ($5 w/ shipping) mini light since it uses AAA, but I really don’t like their lights that seem to have proprietary everything.
Arkfeld Pro looked interesting with the 3-in-1 design, but a non-replaceable battery and only being chargeable with their magnetic charger is a deal killer . IMO, bare minimum for something with a non-replaceable battery is a more universal (USB-C) port.
Husky has some some newer flashlights that do use a proprietary battery (still appears to be an 18650 inside of a plastic casing), but they also have a holder for 3xAAA as well as a USB-C port, which is a good compromise for me.

The Husky are an interesting design, but none of them are designed to fit in a pocket. https://toolguyd.com/new-husky-led-lights-with-usb-c-charging-backup-battery-options/

I own several the olight magnetic base charging lights. No complaints. At this price point they hold up just fine. The charging bases have been very durable as well.

Olight claims to have “lifetime warranties “ on their products. It’s unclear however if that covers a light with a built in non-replaceable battery. I haven’t seen a definitive policy on a light with a battery that stops charging, for instance. Will they replace the light entirely?
Stuart
In the case of a defect within the warranty period, most flashlight makers will replace the entire light, either with the identical kind or the closest replacement available at the time.
If the battery is not serviceable, I would expect them to replace it with a new product.
If it’s wear, rather than a defect, that could be a different story.
Here’s their warranty terms:
They add that rechargeable batteries and the charging case have a 2-year warranty.
I would think that if the flashlight is damaged, that could fall under the lifetime warranty. If the battery isn’t charging due to wear or age, that could fall under the 2-year warranty,

Yes they will. They recently replaced my Warrior 3 because it stopped charging. They acted like they were repairing it but in the end I got a new Warrior 3.
