OLIGHT Arkfeld UV Rechargeable EDC Flashlight, 1000 Lumens White LED and 365nm Blacklight Combo for Outdoors, Emergency, Working, Pet Urine Detection (Black NW)

4-1/2 stars. I love the light. The good- Multiple brightness settings remembers the last setting. Plus, the Turbo mode is every bit the 1000 lumens advertised. The shape and size and weight. It feels like a sturdy pocket knife and sort of shaped like one. So it fits in my front pocket just like my knife. I don't feel it when I'm driving or working and I don't feel like I'm going to break it if I drop it. The battery indicator. So simple yet so useful. The battery indicator for any other light I've ever had was a dim light. Black light. Unless you have a need for it, it's probably just a useless gadget. But for me it's a necessity. It's a reasonable intensity and good enough to chase leaks Notible- The belt clip has two directions which allows you to clip the light to the brim of your hat and use it as a head lamp. The bad- The lock feature is too cumbersome and automatically resets the brightness to the lowest setting upon unlocking. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but either way I would have preferred a mechanical lock, like a slide switch on the side, over the same button as the settings button. - 1/4 star for that. The charger- For me it's annoying to have to keep a specific charger for each tool or gadget I own. While the magnetic charger is great, it's just another tool specific charger that I have to make sure I keep with me. I would have loved to see a usb-C option. That said, the light seems to hold a charge for a very long time, so it may not be that big of a problem. -1/4 star All in all, worth every penny. It's a high quality light made by the same folks a lot of us trust with lights on our firearms.

I bought this because I was tired of fumbling for my phone light. It's so handy, I use it several times per day now, even just walking through the house without touching wall switches. USE - The UV mode is fantastic for making maggots glow—I'll spare you the squirmy details, but if you're in the farm or veterinary business, you NEED this light. I also use the UV light to read set lists (white paper / black ink) on dark stages; the paper is plain as day at my feet, but the audience can't even tell there's a light on. I've never seen the battery meter dip below full and I only top it off for a few minutes once a week or so. The strobe function isn't bright enough or accessible enough to blind an assailant but it does get your attention from a distance. The magnetic charger snaps on so easily and firmly, I wish it were the standard for every USB charged device. And the magnetic end of the light itself is strong enough to firmly stick to most any metal surface—car doors, appliances, lamp posts, etc. I've gotten my light very wet several times without completely submerging it, and had no problems. LOOK AND FEEL - The orange metallic finish is just beautiful, and makes it easy to find in the dark. It does look like a vape pen (see photo: orange light, red vape pen), so be prepared to explain from time to time. The light feels solid. The aluminum is smooth on top with textured sides for a better grip. The switch and button feel like they'll last forever, and the metal clip is sturdy, working great as both a pocket clip and a hat clip, although on a baseball cap it's a little heavy and requires adjustments to keep my cap from falling off or slipping down over my eyes. COMPLAINT - The LED on the charging cable is too bright in a dark room. It stays bright green even when there's no flashlight connected. If you're sensitive to lights when sleeping, you'll need to unplug it or cover it with something. I'm going to try blacking it out with a Sharpie to at least dim it. Overall, I'm very happy with this light. The size is perfect, the battery life is more than I need, and it's become a permanent part of my EDC kit—I feel naked without it. I've been recommending this to everyone I see wielding pen lights or fumbling with their phone lights.

Great light. So many settings to choose from, I find myself using pretty much all of them for different situations. The moonlight feature especially is nice as we have an infant in a crib in our room and using the super dim moonlight to find things in the night and not wake him up is super handy. The battery life is great, I dont use it for long extended periods of time, but for the 5-10 minutes at a time that I use it, I've had this flashlight for like 6 months and only had to charge it once after the initial charge. The UV light is a little gimicky, I played with it a lot when I first got it but ill be honest, havent actually used it in real life. The magnet it the back is great, I've more than once stuck it to a metal shelf over my head or a garage door thats open and it has stayed on solild and not even come close to falling off. The clip is great as well, I have used the double side feature to clip it to my hat a lot, especially renovating our new home, it was great for hands free light quickly. My only real complaints about it are that the switch to go between UV and normal light is really easy to move, and it always gets switched in my pocket, so I pull it out and turn it on needing a flashlight and just get a UV light instead, which can be annoying. The other complaint is that if you use it for more than 20-30 minutes, it can get a little warm. Not hot enough to burn or hurt your fingers, but definitely noticeable, especially if its hot out.

Great quality and extremely functional

The light is compact, powerful, and well-built — excellent quality for its size. However, it tends to heat up quite fast when used in hot environments, and sometimes even in normal room temperature. I hope future versions improve the heat management system, because otherwise it's a great and reliable product
