OLIGHT Arkfeld Ultra 1400 Lumens EDC Flat Flashlight, Rechargeable Compact Pocket Flash Light Combines White LED, UV and Green Beam, Triple Sources Perfect for Checking, Working (Olive-Green NW)

An unbelievable tour de force of design perfection and a continuation of the perfect EDC light(s)!I must admit when I decided to "bite the bullet" and upgrade my well-loved Arkfeld Pro to the Ultra model, I did not expect to "love" a new model as I knew I was perfectly satisfied with my Pro. But when the Ultra arrived, I immediately knew when I opened the very classy packaging, that Team Ohlight in designing the box knew there was indeed a difference and wanted to make sure from the start, that I would know it. At least I felt that way. It was reminiscent of when I first opened a new phone from that certain California Company known for its design beauty. But since I had read reviews for the Ultra, I still did not really expect to appreciate a few minor differences. Was I ever wrong!When I first picked it up, I appreciated the smooth tactile surface. This OAL material was something special. While I'm not sure it was as was described in the description "leaves warmed by the sun after a heavy rainfall", but since I am having difficulty describing it as anything but "smooth" I'll just suggest getting one and you too will appreciate the design difference.The next thing I had to do was to read how to reprogram so that two clicks accessed "Turbo" and not as "Strobe" which is the way it arrives from the factory. I still don't understand that decision as I hardly ever use Strobe but constantly make use of Turbo! I really don't want to inadvertently access strobe multiple times a day so I was relieved switching back was simple.Next, I wanted to check out the U.V. light. I am someone that really uses U.V. several times a week. I travel and appreciate the ability to check out my hotel bedding for invisible bodily stains that may be a sign of a lax housekeeping staff. While I have not yet discovered any bedding issues, I have found multiple chair stains, the occasional bathroom issues and quite a few stains around Hotel trash cans where guests obviously missed their toss! I don't really wish to know what they were! I also have a pet Schnoodle and I now am able to use the U.V to check her skin for several things after bathing and happy to report she has been pest free, but it does give me piece of mind! Once again I didn't expect a difference between the Pro and Ultra. But there was quite a difference. First when set on U.V. I noted there was a larger Flood area with my Ultra. The center shows a nicespot which is bright and useful up close and then a significantly larger spill area. I don't recall reading that in any other reviews. Stat-wise there was no difference but there it was. So if you use the U.V., you should definitely upgrade.I purchased the NW model of the Ultra so I knew that my overall view wouldn't be as bright as my Pro in the CW. That said, I walk my dog several times a day at least a couple of those each evening. I appreciated how easy on the eyes the NW Ultra is for those walking in the opposite direction. Still plenty of light but overall better for dog walkers in my opinion so I was glad I made that switch in my new EDC.Lastly, the pointer is also much brighter to the eye. In fact, the green dot is down right a beauty when compared. Once again I did not expect any difference but my eyes don't lie!So there you are! In my amateur opinion everyone could benefit in some fashion by an upgrade. I truly don't believe you will be sorry you made the jump. Enjoy the Ultra!

I've included three pictures showcasing the UV light, the laser pointer, and the lowest brightness setting - because this flashlight deserves a proper introduction! After months of using it, I’ve realized it’s more than just a tool - it’s a brilliant teacher, guide, and performer all in one.With its UV light, I’ve learned exactly which spots in hotel rooms to avoid (trust me, some things are better left unseen). As an instructor’s assistant, the built-in laser pointer has made explaining concepts much easier. And when it comes to visibility, this flashlight’s three brightness levels each serve a distinct purpose - whether I need a subtle glow or full-on illumination.But here’s where things get wild: this flashlight is basically a magician. The battery life? Almost unreal. I’ve been using it daily for eight months, and I’ve only charged it twice! Then there’s the charging itself - magnetic induction with a seriously strong magnet built right into the base. On top of that, I can clip it to my belt or attach it to my hat, making it the ultimate hands-free sidekick.Now, to add a little context to the rest of this review - I travel across the country working with maintenance professionals across different industries. And if there’s one unspoken truth in the fix-it world, it’s that we have a deep, secret affixion with flashlights. Over my 50-plus years, I’ve owned plenty, but none have impressed me like this one. I take it everywhere. So much so that I’ve been stopped at airports multiple times because people assumed it was a knife! Once they realized what it was, they were genuinely impressed by its multifunctionality.Every maintenance pro I’ve introduced to it has the same reaction: this is the best flashlight they’ve ever seen. Some have tried going the budget route with a cheaper version but ultimately came back to this one. No contest - when it comes to capabilities, features, and sheer reliability, this flashlight stands above the rest.Man… this flashlight ROCKS!

Lives up to the hype and then some. It’s advertised to be built with a super strong alloy that won’t scratch or chip or dent.In part it sounds like some crazy claim you’d hear on an infomercial pitching a solar based kitchen product that comes with 101 coleslaw recipes.Truth is every word is the true. I dropped it from four feet onto to my driveway and nothing…absolutely nothing happened. Not one mark. Not one scratch. It’s absolutely worth the couple extra bucks.In terms of the light…it’ll do the job for everyday tasks. It gives you a 1,400 lumen wide beam that could use a little more pop. I’d like to see the next generation come with a battery powerful enough to support 2,500 Lumens and make it more meaningful across the board.The green laser is a great pointer for business presentations or to drive your cat crazy. It can be backlit, but not through Turbo. That’s a mistake that needs to be corrected.In terms of toughness it’s a walk off home run. In terms of a flashlight it’s a good start. I expect newer versions will make significant upgrades.
