Yes! I have to get one. I use my original arkfeld everyday and the only thing I wish I could do is laser and light at the same time for the exact reason you gave an example of. Above the ceiling trying to point something out but it's too dark. I even wrote an email to olight. This is awesome!

Coming soon- Arkfeld Ultra Elite with light, UV, laser, taser, and patriot missile.

Out of 20 videos this one was the only one that truly broke down all the different light modes (yes, all 9 of them). THANK YOU!!

I've been waiting for this video since I saw the release.

First time viewer. The dual angle (aerial and ground, starting at 19:06) shot is genius 👌

I was 99% sure I was going to buy this before the video and now it's 100%

Great shot comparison. I’ve never seen aerial shots, well done.

Great review and comparison! I appreciate the in depth analysis!

I am so glad they finally have the laser one with the reversible clip, so you have the option to put it on your hat. I would use it with only the light on my hat, but this way I can point out something with the laser pointer, in a building and then if I am working on something, I can slip it on my hat. The magnet, like you said is nice to stick on something. I barely would use the UV but it's still awesome to have. I am glad I waited to get this light.

Excellent, flashlight and laser at same time is what I've been looking for. Great review, thanks 👍

Fantastic. I’ve been looking for my Arkfeld for like a month so I guess I’ve got a reason to buy this one.

I bought one today! I held off on the 1st gen, because I wanted the laser and UV. Now, I get both!

Just ordered the pro in orange earlier today. Been after one for a while and picked it up in the black friday deals.

This is a great evolution of an interesting, jack-of-all-trades Swiss Army Light... I just might find room for this little toy of a light!

7:42 you forgot to mention that triple click is strobe and its FAST. I've been EDCing mine for a week and a half and it's fantastic. The size does not bother me when it's in my pocket.

Excellent review as always! I'm gonna love the pro but it would have been perfect if it had the larger tir optic like the Gen 1 especially with the extra lumens I know they needed the room but for something that important i wouldn't mind if it was thicker or wider if it meant getting the proper optic in there but the lazer uv extra battery life and the zombie green makes it all worth it and the sale price lol . I'm definitely not looking for high cri with a light like this everything you say is always spot on no bashing and not bias awsome video!!

Thanks so much, I too have both of the first ones and was on the fence about the new one, but you did a great job and I’m on my way to the third one. Thanks !

I have a just under a month old UV. It's going back to Amazon and grabbing the pro. Good review.

Learned something new today.... I learned what a "flappydoodle" is. I never knew.

I'm so happy you brought up the first gen optic It's much better than the uv model I'm still buying the arkfeld pro hoping the extra lumens makes up for it a little but I really wish they some how used the first Gen optic I can't stand the light on my uv arkfeld very glad u brought that up cause most people have no idea and trying to explain it to them hurts my brain. In the end the pro is cool cause it's got all 3 and battery upgrade and it comes in zombie green but I won't be getting rid of my first Gen.

Great review. I've got the zombie version but now I want neutral white too. These lights are so useful and carry easily.

Now I need one with red light, less intrusive to bugs and animals when I go out at night.

Man, I really love your videos! I appreciate you breaking down every little consideration to make things clear. I’ve been waiting for this light for a couple years or however long it’s been since the original arkfeld was released which didn’t have the proper clip that I could use on my hat brim so it did not work for me. And then the uv light did not have the laser pointer I needed for my job as a contractor. So now… finally it’s here! I do still wish olight would release more color options with the neutral white or at the very least offer us just one bundle package on the sale with a neutral white. Currently all of the bundle packages only have CW which I think just isn’t fair to us neutral lovers 😄👊 Like, am I being punished for not wanting cool white light? Lol

This is definitely one of the best lights Olight has ever made.

I don't use any of the chip clips i just take them off and depending if they need to screw the screws back in and trim them if i need to

Just picked one up on their Halloween sale with the orb light thing for 90$!

I'm coming over for this one. I want it.

you're the best reviewer on the youtubes, thank you!!!#

11 years from now a Martian kid is saying, “Dad I just saw a green ufo streak across the sky.”

I work in technical theater. I've been looking for this instrument for years -- I bought two. What it needs: a way to lock it OFF while it's in my pocket.

Awesome review!!! I own several Olight lights, and I think I need an Arkfeld Pro. So: Cool White or Neutral??!!! Most of my others are black. But; that Orange is sweet! Looks like that one is only available in Cool white.

Ok..im sold !😊

OK I’m pretty impressed but I still haven’t seen if this does momentary push on and off, I don’t want to go through cycles on flashlight settings to be able to get some thing I want simple momentary on and off for a lot of what I do so can this flashlight do that

Now make a pro plus with laser, uv, flood and throw emitters olight

I've been on the fence because I knew I wouldn't be able to decide between a laser or UV. Now that I don't have to I'm going to pick one up.

Is there any strobe? Looks pretty sweet might have to pick one up. Thanks for the review

I picked up one during the halloween sale. Love the light but not a fan of the non replaceable battery

How do you feel about this Olite vs the Nitecore EDC27?

Love to have the pro

I have been on the fence for a while. I bought a Warrior 3 but I find the texture too harsh for pocket use when I am in and out of my pocket all day. This should fit in my shirt pocket and will be great for searching prison cells the UV has me interested, I wonder if I will be able to see drugs like fentanyl or meth that have been real issues lately. I wonder if it will help see the powder traces on their metal desks.

What's the IR spill on the laser?

Can you take the clip off on the pro? Iv never really liked haveing a clip on my flash lights.

They should make a thrower version with red and green laser

👍Nice. Now it just needs a replaceable battery 😉👌😊

I wonder how good the UV would be on the beach. I wish o could have UV but still have cool and warm beam options not sure which one ide fet amd im hella OCD, i hate that, working on it... preferences can be a prison, i a a flashaholic though pretty bad and i like that

Thought mine was damaged because the lens was pushed slightly in at the bottom. Appears to be a design change. Haven't seen any other KZfaq reviewer mention this.

What's the purpose of a UV light on a flashlight?

Its near how it tbe battery charger clicks on, keep this light away from sandblasting areas, be collecting all kinds of debris

Nice work, Cheule...exactly all the info I needed to make a decision.....although I'm embarrassed to admit that if I snag one, it will be my FIFTH Arkfeld! 🤔🤣 One of them is copper, and it is a freakin' TANK. I know the battery is officially non-replaceable, but do you know of anyone who has attempted it anyway?

I just wish it came in OD green.

I'd like to see them do a version with dual leds.

can someone recommend another "CHEAPER" Chinese alternative or Chinese copy of this Chinese UV-Laser hybrid olight?

I got so excited about this then realised that no amount of features would justify spending more than 20 on a light which I can't swap out the battery. Also it doesn't look like the NW is available in my country yet which really sucks that a nice emitter isn't standard anyway given that this is a premium light.

I still don’t understand why a red led light isn’t used for reading a map at night or doing anything at night where you don’t want to be blinded and loose your vision . But instead Choose to put a laser or uv that we never need

Would that laser be strong enough to work on tree limbs 30+ feet up during the daytime?

I just really want one with two LEDs. Not really a use for the laser or UV for me.

Will peopt actually buy yooperlites?

How do you feel about the size? I think the originals are perfect.

If they had a version with a body/chassis made out of G10, Carbon Fiber or even Ultem that would be awesome! p.s. 500 microwatts = .5 milliwatts

Are they worth the money?

separate comment for unrelated question here Is there a reason you dont turn off auto-focus for outside shots, and auto-whitebalance for indoor demos? I noticed pretty much every flashlight youtuber doesnt do those things, but I dont know video well enough to know if there is a reason for it, or if it is just too tedious to handle on the fly?

Do you know for a fact if the uv will detect pet urine? I need urine detection for cleaning purposes. You could test for me please? 😅 if it does I will purchase.

Has OLight sorted out the issue with the issue with metal in your pocket (keys, coins, etc...) touching the charging circle and shorting out? Try it, touch your OLight tail cap with something metal connecting the center to the ring. It will probably create a small spark which is bad enough and it will short out the switch requiring it to be removed and replaced to reset. There is no way I can depend on OLight as an edc or defense light if I have to remove and replace the tail cap to get it to turn on. When they fix that problem with their lights I might buy another one.

I never actually liked the Arkfeld. I have better options and it is definately not a Warrior 3s replacement....but this new one...I may get it for the glory of gimmickness. It might be a suit&tie carry that replaces the warrior....hmmm. got me thinking. I appreciate the olight-clip on there. When clipped inside the pocket, that backwards bend is brilliant for holding a set of keys (like work keys or the shed key when going out there). Note, I dont carry critical keys outside my pocket (a camera can grab your key and it is too easy to replicate these days).

Shit, I don't need it but I want it 😂 Same with the LEP flashlights😊

Pro zombie version goes hard

I am still in that category of not a fan. I can see the appeal for some people but its just not for me. I will be picking up a Javelot Mini

Man I would love to own one, but nobody sells them here in New Zealand. Pretty disappointing we only have one stockist in nz, and the one stockist we have only has old stuff.

I don't mind proprietary charging/battery on the Arkfeld, it's a very unusual shape and therefor justified. Just dislike it on normal shaped lights

Been wondering if they’d attempt a 3 in 1. Now that they have I’ll have to get the pro… will give my brother my normal laser/light Will wait to see if they make a titanium model since the aluminum is a bit too fragile

Love my arkfeld uv it’s perfect edc for a mechanic. Would love the laser but not a fan of the size and no warm white option ☹️ I’m out. Edit: how did you get neutral white it’s only cool on their website‽

Would be a perfect tool for astronomy if they chose a red led instead of the UV. I have the old Arkfeld and the laser is too weak for pointing out stars.

Just wish they did the zombie color way with the warmer K values.

The real question would be, how many minutes does it work on High and Turbo, at the loss of making it smaller?

will that light clear a eprom?

👍🍻

I want now. How'd u get it before release date!! I'm never meant to save money ..

The reviews are well-thought-out and planned and well executed. I just wish you would do the review in a place where you needed a flashlight? That place is way too bright....

I have both the Original and UV versions. I'll skip this for now. If they shrink it to the same size as the UV, I'll get one. "Arkfeld Pro Mini"?? IMO, Olight magnetic charging is one of the best features.

Imagine of it had a chamber for live resin vaporization built into it, the light could enhance your mind mood and visibility and perhaps help fight cancer

Both LASERS need push-hold to only only.

Is it metal? My only concern is that it is not durable. It looks like it is plastic.

I also hate flappy doodles. They are annoying to use, and I don't trust the IPX rating on them.

So it’s advertised as 0.39mw but puts out 5? That’s crazy

I only wish it had a tail button, but overall it looks like a fun option.

I don't understand the hype, especially for edc enthusiasts, I don't want another proprietary cord to carry around. If it was usb c, maybe I'd get one.

olight really is like apple. with names like PRO, inflated prices, "premium" products that get slightly better every year, proprietary chargers....

1:43 that’s what she said 😏

yeah the brightness on the original version laser is seriously weak...more of a gimmick than anything truly useful.

Titanium??? Hope so..

Son of a Bit** i just bought the UV

I wanted to see the aerial shot of the lasers and I was so disappointed. 😢

My only complaint about the Olight Arkfeld Pro it that they have the laser as the 2nd(middle) option and UV light as the 3rd(left) option. So, when the Arkfeld Pro has the flashlight turned on in order to get to the UV light you have to scroll past the laser temporarily turning on the laser as you're scrolling left with the switch to get to the UV light. This may cause you to unknowingly turn on the laser and potentially have the laser reflect off of a surface and hit your eyes, causing eye damage or blandness(Arkfeld Pro has much stronger laser)😢 Olight should have designed the Arkfeld Pro with the UV light as the 2nd(middle) option and Laser as the 3rd(left) option!!! That way, you could access the UV light without having to scroll past the laser and temporarily turning it on👍

Did he just say monstrous😅

... Unlike the seeker 4 Pro which I got and it is my least used flashlight. It's large, heavy, gets super hot and the light beam is average at best. Very disappointed. Man I have smaller less expensive lights that have a better beam.

Well you shouldn't join clicks anyways😂

Although it's a solidly constructed multi-function torch, I think £70/£80 (Amazon) is too much to pay for a 'gadget' torch with a non-removable lithium battery. That alone guarantees obsolescence as soon as the battery fails and it will, long before the torch LEDs and circuitry. Non-replaceable battery powered products are destined to become e-waste heading for landfills, only because of it's dead lithium battery. Manufacturers are creating these disposable products to force consumers into an endless loop of unnecessary recycling of otherwise perfectly good electronics. Non-removable lithium battery powered products are contributing to e-waste mountains, not helping to reduce the global problem.

sad they mad it so much bigger.... very sad

I just wish the laser was brighter. Only usable in dim/dark rooms.

imagine buying this when a nitecore EDC27 is available...
