Olight has opened the world’s first flashlight experience store at Fashion Show Las Vegas. The retail concept uses modern technologies such as cloud computing and IoT to enhance retail efficiency and streamline the customer journey. Shoppers can order online and pick up in-store. Alongside this, Olight launched five new products, including the Arkfeld Ultra — a product boasted for its durability. The brand also introduced a charity initiative tied to its Arkfeld Pro (Paw Edition) to support animal welfare.
Olight's flashlight experience store is significant for consumers interested in high-end, durable flashlights, especially those looking for a blend of online convenience with the ability to physically interact with products. Mavis Xiao, CMO of Olight, shares: "Olight has consistently focused on the U.S. market and achieved outstanding results online. We want our first experience store to not only showcase our products but also serve as a bridge between the online and offline, connecting our brand with our customers."
