OLIGHT Arkfeld Pro Rechargeable EDC Flat Flashlight with Green Beam, UV and White LED Combo, 1300 Lumens Portable Pocket Lights, Triple Sources for Outdoors Emergency Working (OD-Green CW)

The Olight Arkfeld Pro is hands-down one of the most versatile flashlights I’ve ever owned. As someone who works in construction, I need gear that’s durable, reliable, and easy to carry—and this light checks every box.The dual light system (white light + green laser) is genius. The white beam is powerful and adjustable, perfect for close-up work or scanning dark areas. The laser is a surprisingly useful tool for quick pointing and measurements during walkthroughs and team discussions.Build quality is top-tier. It’s slim, tough as nails, and the magnetic clip is super handy for attaching to my vest or metal surfaces. Battery life is solid, and the USB-C charging makes it easy to top off during breaks.Olight nailed it with the Arkfeld Pro. Whether you’re on the job, camping, or just need a dependable EDC light, this one’s worth every penny.

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.

Before receiving the Arkfeld Pro I was excited to experience what appeared to be an excellent flashlight. Upon unboxing, my anticipation was confirmed and my EDC has proven, not only how good a flashlight the Arkfeld Pro is, but how important it is to always have a flashlight. OLIGHT took their time to deliberately make a good quality flashlight. I gave as gifts to 3 family members and will be buying a second for myself. Highly suggested.Take Aways:- The magnetic charging mechanics are intuitive and seamless. Easily connecting and immediately seating properly. Though, a USB C connector would be nice, it isn't required due to the battery life.- The selector switch is very intuitive and doesn't easily get moved in pocket. Though it does happen from time to time.- First interaction with changing light settings seemed odd, but once familiar it is quite smooth. Hold for light power cycling, triple tap for super light. It just takes a little experimenting to be smooth with changing light power settings.- The battery life is impressive. I use it daily for short durations on medium and I haven't had to charge for roughly a month.- The UV setting is truly amazing for cleaning. When I first received it, playing around, it forced me to immediately clean my stove top. I also found this setting to be perfect for locating and thoroughly cleaning pet stains on carpet. It causes the accident area to glow a faint neon allowing you to ensure complete cleaning.- The laser is a properly working laser. The light/laser feature is really nice. Though I have not had a need for it practically. If your use case is identifying objects from distance, in low-light situations, this is the tool. The light cast is soft ambience and does not overpower the laser. Providing just enough accessory light to emphasize upon the laser's point.- The belt clip is stout, rigid metal and does not bend easily. It has nice clip pressure for grip retention and seems to be spring steel(?).- The coating and finish seems durable but does take wear from keys, etc. Albeit this only gives it a cool look and makes it appear well aged and overly used. The time frame for this topical wear is delayed and after 3 months of daily carry, with car keys, has only shown minute indentation of aluminum housing.Foot Notes:- I have noticed that the form factor is not intuitive with firearms. If you need a light to work alongside a firearm in a two hand hold, though capable, this light is not ideal. The button location needs to be on the tail and the rectangular form doesn't seat like a cylindrical light does. Turning on the light and transitioning into a two hand hold isn't practical in a threat scenario. But this isn't a negative to the light, but an observation of usage.
