OLIGHT Arkfeld Pro Rechargeable EDC Flat Flashlight, Black NW

There are so many details, but I don't want to become winded so I'm going to hit only on the ones that truly resonate with me. • BODY: This thing is made out of one single solid, milled slab of aluminum. It's drop rated to 1 m, which I have tested, and that is conservative to say the least. I don't want to damage my light, but it's not going to break easily. • BATTERY/CHARGING: The Arkfeld Pro comes equipped with the OLIGHT proprietary Magnetic Charging Connector (MCC) system. This mag charger is so good that all you have to do is put the base of the flashlight within 2 inches of the charging connector and it will snap itself on. This thing is no joke. The light has an internal 1500mAh rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, which is non-removable. On the lights lowest setting, a full battery will last 11 days. CLIP: The clip on the Atkfeld is so good that it gets its own section. It's a double clip that allows you to slide the light into your pocket (source down) or onto the bill of a hat (source up). Possibilities are endless. It's the most high-quality, Well built pocket clip I have ever seen. I have Benchmade knives that don't have a clip this nice. • ACTIVATOR/SWITCH: The only interface control on the device is the Activation button and the surrounding selector wheel. I won't go into detail of the minutia of the controls, but let's just say that they are intuitive and easy to use. There's also a lot of different options, it's like Christmas morning figuring all of them out. Everything is wonderfully finished and has the touch & feel of a superior piece of technology. The only moving part on the flashlight is the selector wheel, but you don't have to worry about the switch wearing out, degrading, or failing as most switches do with heavy use. You don't you need to worry you ask? The selector wheel isn't actually a switch in the traditional sense, it's a mag selector. Meaning the wheel doesn't actually actuate a switch, but rather it's moving a magnetic field to different places on the PCB to activate the different sources of light. Magnets abound! There's literally nothing wrong with this system, it is engineered so well that it's almost perfect. The only con to this type of switching system is that it's sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, any strong magnets directly near the switch will interfere with the normal operation of the light. A powerful magnet near the wheel will force the light sources to change erratically, though it does absolutely no damage. • LIGHT SOURCES x3: Obviously, the reason for choosing this light is the fact that it houses three separate light source emitters. All three of the sources work seamlessly and are actually tuned very exactly to fit certain requirements. What I mean to say is the Arkfeld was not thrown together, it is a pinnacle of engineering. The single protective piece covering the light sources is what appears to be (but can't confirm) sapphire crystal - just like iPhone camera lenses. There's no other way to describe its ability to resist scratches and heat, Lots and lots and lots of heat. The flashlight doesn't get hot normally, it's actually very cool to use and doesn't really pose a risk or hazard. However, when the UV source or the normal source TURBO mode is enabled - it gets hot. Very hot. Turning the light off cools down almost immediately, probably because of the Heat dissipating ability of this solid aluminum frame. > 510-530nm GREEN class 3R laser w/ <=5mw peak output This has to be the cleanest green dot I've ever observed in a non-lab grade laser. No bleed, no artifacts, no lens effects making everything messy. Just a clean green line leading to a crisp little point. > 365nm UV source w/ 900mw peak output I own three different UV flashlights, but this one is specifically tuned and works the best trying to locate dirt, food, urine, and basically anything that's there that shouldn't be. In other words, this UV source illuminates different materials in different ways, so it becomes extremely clear when something is in a place that it shouldn't be. Other UV lights I own tend to blend everything together. The wavelength is either too low and there's not enough visible UV to see the specific material you're inspecting, or it's too high and the field gets flooded with visible light, masking the illuminating material, making it hard to see. This is just a really good UV light, you won't be displeased. > 4000K-5000K•CCT Neutral White light source w/1300 lumen peak output I selected the neutral white option, but you can also get it in cool white. I prefer neutral white because it's simulates daylight and is much less offensive to the eyes. Not to mention it makes colors look a lot More vibrant. There are five different light modes: moonlight (1l), low (26l), medium (100l), high (432l, ⌛️ then 100l), and TURBO (1,300l, ⌛️then 432l). The two highest light modes operate at max output for a short time, and then reduce to the lower setting to preserve battery. Enclosing, the Archfield pro is probably the most amazing EDC I have ever owned. The fact that it is a three and one doesn't make it Cincy or gimmicky or crappy like so many of the other all in one rolled in hunk of chunk out there. This thing is a beautiful Pinnacle of human engineering that should be owned by anyone who values quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Cheers 🍻

The OLIGHT Arkfeld Pro Rechargeable EDC Flat Flashlight is one of those tools that just feels dialed in from the moment you pick it up. The flat design makes it super easy to carry, and it disappears in a pocket way better than a traditional flashlight. It’s crazy how much functionality they packed in without making it complicated. The white light is very bright, and having the UV and laser modes built in actually turns out to be more useful than you’d expect. Switching between modes is quick and intuitive. Build quality feels premium, and the magnetic charging is convenient so you’re not messing with ports or cables. It’s also tough enough for everyday carry without feeling fragile. Overall, it’s a solid mix of compact, powerful, and practical. Easy 5 stars.

I've been using my Arkfeld for almost 2 years and i absolutely love it. it is durable beyond my expectations I've dropped it off of buildings and left it in bad places, but its finally dead turns out losing it in traffic all day is one thing it cant survive. Even then it did reasonably well, the battery is intact, the wheel still turns and the laser still works. Its expensive, but it always fits in a pocket and if you can avoid loosing it it will last a long long time. Longer than any other $20 flashlight that you'll buy 5 of. Just get it you wont be disappointed.

I bought this after someone at my workplace showed me his, and I was impressed with the UV light, which is impressively powerful, especially for a multifunction light like this. The price is pretty high, and it's really fairly clunky to use overall, but it's still worth it for that UV light. I would have bought the Arkfeld UV that doesn't have the laser pointer, since I didn't really need that, but was disappointed to hear that the UV light on that is substantially weaker, so I went with this. Good stuff: - Build quality is more than fine. The body is well-formed and nicely-textured metal, the front window appears to be real glass, the button and selector switch feel good to use, and it looks nice. If you like to impress people with gadgets, you'll probably like this. - The white light has a good brightness range and beam profile. It's very soft at the edges and the color is very uniform. The angle is just about perfect for indoor use; it can reach across most rooms without issue, but doesn't feel too tight even up close. Battery life at the lower modes is great, making this an attractive reading light for camping trips. - The UV light, as mentioned above, is great. It appears to be genuinely 365 nm - that is, actually mostly invisible - and is very powerful, meaning that anything fluorescent will glow very brightly and be easy to spot. I've seen hidden stains and dust with this that were completely invisible under a cheap 395nm UV LED; it's the real deal. Bad stuff: - The proprietary magnetic charging connector thing is annoying. I'd much rather have had a plain old USB-C port. In this day and age, I don't have a lot of patience for having to keep yet more single-purpose cables in my backpack while traveling. - Switching between brightness levels on the white LED is confusing. You have to press and hold the button to step through the three upper levels, and the lowest level is only accessible by turning the light off and holding the button. I wish the brightness levels could have been additional positions on the rotating selector switch instead; that would have made way more sense. - The white light has a strobe mode. Why do they always have a strobe mode? It's activated by double-pressing the on-off button, so if you were trying to get a brief flash, chances are you'll get strobe instead. - It's hard to switch between white light and UV light without turning on the laser pointer (or turning the light off first). It may seem minor, but for a light styled like this, I feel like I should go harder on anything that looks like unprofessionalism. Nobody likes negligent discharge of a laser pointer, and the Arkfeld Pro kind of sets you up for it. Once again, I would really have rather had the Arkfeld UV, but I wasn't willing to settle for less UV power. - I've noticed a few instances that look like weird firmware instability. For example, sometimes, when I turn on the laser pointer, the white light will flash very brightly for a fraction of a second. I can't make it happen consistently to know what causes it, but nobody wants that happening when you're about to give a presentation in a dimly-lit room. Bottom line: This is a great light for you if you like cool-looking gadgets, spend most of your time in an office, and frequently need both a UV flashlight and a regular one at work. (If you think this is a rare use case, you might be right, but I have to admit that it does describe me pretty well.) In my case, I think my tastes tend to run a little less pretty and a little more rugged, so if you're not as much of an outdoor-adventures type of person, you might like it more than I do.

I now own the newer version of this light too, and wish there was a version between the two. This light has a single blended beam, with a nice brighter center which fades out to a flood. Preferable to the newer model's dual flood/spot options, which is not great for everyday use. But the laser on this model is part of the main dial switch (it's the center option) so it's way too easy to accidentally turn that on instead of the light. The newer model has fixed this by putting the laser option on the side and out of the way. Overall a fantastic light that lives in my everyday bag. Gets used every day too with it being winter and darker often. Also way cool that it has a white, UV and laser light all in one. So handy. Tip: Get the neutral white option. Cool white looks, well, cool in movies, but it's harder to see the natural environment with less yellow/red hues reflected.

Fantastic light. Would pay for it again and actually have, just didn’t get the second on here. Perfect pocket light. Has the most ridiculously low setting when first using it after x amount of time. Then goes right up to bright AF! And the UV?? Far more handy than one may think. Especially when chasing an oil leak or any fluid really (buy the dye 🤙🏼). The ONE thing I don’t love is that the light doesn’t make a nice crisp circle. I mean, it’s a rectangular light so meh. The magnet is insane, to the point of having to watch out for anything ferrous and within a few inches lol. I’ve dropped it in oil, on pavement, concrete, it’s been kicked halfway across a basement… still going strong. The magnetic charger is definitely convenient but it sucks that you can ONLY use that specific one to charge it and it only COMES with one charger. I’d say for the price, it should come with two. One for home/shop and one for the vehicle. Though it’s rare that I’ve run it out of battery. Everywhere I go, it does. Love this light. Tough. Easy to carry. Worth every penny. Everything you could ever want or need in an EDC light. Go’on ‘n gitchu one!

This light seemed pretty cool when I first got it. The light itself wasn't absolutely amazing or anything, but it had potential with the laser and UV and I was looking forward to using it and carrying it around, until after a few weeks of owning it I accidentally dropped it about a foot and a half into an empty stainless steel kitchen sink. Not even on hard concrete or anything and it wasn't even a hard fall. I was completely surprised to find that the light was rendered useless after this. It bricked itself and just gave low battery indicator and would not turn on, take a charge, or anything. I emphasize that the light didn't really even fall that hard into the sink. Since the flashlight is sealed, there is no chance of replacing the battery, so there's nothing to do other than just eat the $100 loss I am a flashlight enthusiast and I have over 120 flashlights both expensive and inexpensive and this is the only time a flashlight I have owned has ever rendered itself useless like this. I have dropped flashlights wayyy worse than this before with no issues. I would not rely on this flashlight at all, nor would I recommend it to anyone. As far as I'm concerned the Arkfeld Pro is a gimmicky, unreliable, expensive, non-user serviceable POS and I will not be replacing it with another.

The light itself has been great. Its bright, small and seems solid plus has a uv light and green laser pointer. I've had mine since August 2024 and about 8 months later it stopped charging. I don't know what happened. I use it for work so some of the paint is worn off and has a few scratches but otherwise it's in good condition. I might try and buy a new charger but as far as I can the charger is fine. Update: apparently there is a lock feature I didn't know about. If you hold the power button down you can lock it so it doesn't turn on in your pocket. Just hold the power down again for a few seconds to unlock. So this is once again my favorite flashlight.
