They apparently do this every year. You have to make an account on their site which subscribes you to an email newsletter (you can unsubscribe) and deal with some popups and upsell attempts, but it's a decent basic 1AAA light from everything I've heard. 90 lumens, 1 level, 60mm long, maybe not great LED tint, i.e. sort of a less nice version of the Skilhunt E3A but still fine.

Users supposedly get free shipping on their first order and someone on reddit claims to have actually received this, but I didn't, and had to pay the $5.

It's 1 per person and there are apparently a lot of people trying to scam the site, so my payment got flagged as possible fraud (card declined). I called the card company and they fixed it, so my order went through.

I'm not a huge fan of Olight for various reasons, but hey, a free light, I'll take it.

Shipping address appears to be US only. Oh well.

Pff.

It says "new users free shipping on first order" right there bold as brass under the "participation rules" but then this clearly doesn't happen when you go to check out.

Alas, their system is smart enough to prevent you from making your item total go negative with any of the blizzard of coupon codes they send you after signing up. Oh well.

I wonder what happens if you buy something else at the same time.

Don't know, but I ain't paying extra to find out.
