Acebeam kindly presented me with an Acebeam Defender P16 Gray tactical torch with my name engraved on the pocket clip when I visited their headquarters.

Acebeam kindly welcomed me to visit their headquarters and factory.

Olight kindly presented me with a bolt-action Olight O’Pen Glow in OD Green when I visited the Olight factory in May. Here is my review of the pen from the perspective of a torch enthusiast.

The NEXTORCH TA30C has been designed for military and law enforcement use. It has a rotary switch where you can reliably turn the torch on.

I was having a chat with Vivi at Sofirn and we started talking about the IF23. The multi-coloured LED strip caught my attention. I was keen to see if it could be used as bike light.

Mateminco kindly welcomed me to visit their factory.

The Wuben X2 with a white micro-arc oxidation finish is a lighter version of the EDC torch and it feels smooth.

Today I am taking a look at the Olight lab, the Olight factory, a battery supplier and a supplier with CNC machines and lathes. We will see how the Olight O’Pen Glow is made.
