OLIGHTArkfeld 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)

The media could not be loaded. I just got my Navy Blue OLIGHT Arkfeld Ultra delivered today, and I already love it. As a longtime Olight fan with multiple models in my collection—from the Baton 3 to the Warrior Mini 2—I had high hopes for this one. Right out of the box, it delivers exactly what I’ve come to expect from the brand: high performance, premium build quality, and smart design choices. The Arkfeld Ultra doesn’t just live up to that standard—it brings a unique form factor and functionality that make it stand out.Let’s start with the design. The flat body took me by surprise the first time I saw it online, but now that I’ve held it, I get it. It’s slim enough to fit comfortably in your pocket without creating that awkward flashlight bulge that most cylindrical lights do. It slips right into the coin pocket of my jeans, and I can already tell this is going to be a true EDC item for me. The Navy Blue finish is sharp and subtle—professional looking, but still stylish.Functionality-wise, the Arkfeld Ultra punches above its size. The 1400-lumen output is no joke. I tested it outside just after sunset and it lit up the backyard with ease. The beam has a great blend of throw and flood, giving you both distance and coverage. I also love the inclusion of both a white LED and a green laser. The laser is bright, clean, and practical for pointing things out or just having fun with the dog. Switching between modes is simple and intuitive with the central selector switch.One feature that’s been surprisingly useful is the memory function. It remembers your last used brightness level and goes right back to it, which saves time and hassle. The lockout mode is another smart addition—especially if you’re carrying it in your pocket or a bag where accidental activation could drain the battery. Speaking of which, battery life seems solid so far, and recharging is as easy as ever with Olight’s magnetic USB cable.Build quality is, as usual with Olight, top-tier. The body is made from anodized aluminum and feels sturdy, but not overly heavy. The clip is strong and well-positioned. I also appreciate the flat tail that lets you stand it up for hands-free lighting. The buttons are tactile, responsive, and well-placed for one-handed operation. Olight really knows how to make lights that feel good in your hand.Now, I’ve only had this light for a day, so I can’t speak to long-term durability just yet. But based on my experience with other Olights (some of which have survived drops, rain, and months of rough use), I’m confident this one will hold up just as well. It’s also IPX7-rated, so it can handle the elements when needed.Pros:• Flat body design fits perfectly in your pocket• 1400 lumens with great beam spread and throw• Green laser adds a fun and useful touch• Magnetic USB charging is convenient• Excellent build quality and tactile controls• Memory function and lockout mode are genuinely helpfulCons:• The flat design might take getting used to if you’re coming from traditional flashlights• Not the cheapest light out there, but you’re paying for qualityFinal Thoughts:If you’re already an Olight fan like me, the Arkfeld Ultra is a must-have. It offers something different with its flat design without compromising on power or performance. Even if you’re new to the brand, this flashlight is a great place to start. It’s compact, versatile, and powerful—everything you want in an everyday carry light. The green laser is a cool bonus, and the fit and finish are as good as it gets. I’m seriously considering picking up another one to stash in my work bag or glove box. Well done, Olight.

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!
