My opinion olight knocked it out of park! I finally have a flashlight I actually carry everyday! It is my true edc! Wedge was always too long in pocket! It's usefulness sells me!

I have both. The wedge is more tactical. Better for self defense/quick deploy. The arkfeld seems better for edc and work. Both awesome fucking lights. I bought the wedge before the arkfeld simply due to the universal charging port. As other have mentioned proprietary charging is a deal breaker.

Pretty big difference, the wedge puts out more light and easier and quicker to turn on in case of a self defense situation

The Olight is the better light but both are good

I think the streamlight is bigger on purpose. When you use your flashlight all the time having something that fits the hand and hits on ergonomics wins over something smaller. If you use it more than carry it it's the clear winner. If you carry it more than you use it the baton 3 probably wins. I'm with you on the arcfeld they missed with the bulbous charger end. The magnets in general are great though when you need to mount your light and at the tail increases that versatility. It's a real head scratcher. I've carried a lot of both streamlight and olight. Both great companies. The baton 3 is my edc. The streamlight 90 is my bicycle helmet light. They build winners.

Olight glue in the two screws that retain the pocket clip. Attempted removal results in broken screws. As you unfortunately found out.

Proprietary chargers just kill it for me

I think the wedge is the winner! Always been a streamlight fan! I have 4 Pro tacs 2 TLR1 HL's and a small 115 lum pocket light. Love them all!

The arkfeld can stand upright and the magnetic base can stick to metal like a car hood for mechanic work. Plus strobe and laser.

Thank you for this review showing! Helped me decide which of these two to go with. I'll be getting my first streamlight

The other difference not mentioned: Arkfeld has a magnet on the base where as the wedge has none. Guess you could tape a magnet on the wedge and then it would have more function.

Seems like the Wedge has more flood than the Arkfeld. I was looking at both of these and decided on a Wedge, mainly for the simple lever interface instead of pressing/holding the Olight's button. 😉😎

The two hold ups for me with the wedge is no low mode and the price at 80+ is harsh

Magnet that holds it in place and strobe? Sleep timer? Lockout? Forgot to mention those about the Arkfeld.

Hey I think they listened to you.. the newer UV version of the Olight Arkfeld has a slimmer backend and a deeper 2-way pocket clip. Charging port is located in the same place but they've squeezed it down so the magnetic ring cut off on two sides so it's not a full circle.

I have both these in my collection and personally think Olight absolutely nails the form factor. The Streamlight is a complete disaster, it's just too long to be comfortable in normal jeans pocket. In the same way a big phone is. Also the Olight is slightly thinner in the places that matter. If you are going to any kind of beam/brightness test you'll need to lock the exposure of the camera, otherwise its a complete waste of time.

It’s a nice mellow laser for pointing, not everything has to be overkill

I have a olight and I don't care for the proprietary charging cable. Idk how times I've lost it lol.

The Streamlight wedge was designed for Law Enforcement and Military use. The "Wedge" design is to slip into Molle gear slots. It is a little bit longer but also it was designed for LEO/MIl wearing gloves so that probably factors for the size/length.

Thanks for the video. This helped me decide to get the wedge.

Like wedge better but wish it was a bit shorter. Olight magnets on they're lights ruin it for me working in a body shop. Fills up with crap too fast

I am a home inspector and do disaster work and for the past several years have been using a collection of Streamlights running CR123 batteries. I am slowly switching over to rechargeables and a few months ago bought an Olight Seeker 3 Pro. In the past week I bought both the Olight Arkfeld and the Streamlight Wedge. I am early in their use but the Streamlight Wedge is the first light I use because of its simplicity. Off/On/Turbo…everything you need and nothing you don’t for basic flashlight use. The Arkfeld is sort of a love/hate thing. I use the laser to point things out to clients…useful. The magnetic charging point at the base is a feature, you can use it to stick to metal and have a stationary light, freeing hands to do work. I was always sticking the battery powered Streamlights in my mouth to free my hands, not really a smart thing to do. My dislike with the Arkfeld, and Olight in general, is that the button programming is wonky. The old battery powered Streamlights are much more intuitive. The form factor for both the Wedge and Arkfeld are winners, each are more pocketable than typical round lights. Each get more work than the bigger Seeker Pro which gets used mainly when the others are charging or I want something in hand also useful as a bludgeon.

I back pocket my wedge & it's a great no frills just get the job done light.

The fat end makes it magnetic lol

Why has nobody paired an Arkfeld with a matching Microtech ultra tech or utx 85? This is the perfect match imo I’m getting one sion

I need a new light as my old olight just shit the bed and decided to pull up good ol youtube to see what people are carrying these days. I clicked subscribe right around 45 sec, just after that pause to take a sip haha. Solid content, and cool shirt.

You mentioned that you wanted to change the clip on the arkfeld, what clip were you going to replace it with?

I’ll keep the Wedge

If only those oligjt magnetic chargers were reliable

That streamlight is made in china.

Problem with the wedge is that it has au momentary switCh for 1000 lumpen mode.

Really wish there were more usa made lights that weren't the price of a couple hundred bucks. I usually use streamlight but I do have a couple olights. They have been great and I know their customer service is amazing.

Fantastic review

I'm not positive but I would guess the size difference would have something to do with heat dissipation. And the higher quality/safety standards in American manufacturing. I'm not trying to hate on olight, but I bought an olight I5T plus to replace my streamlight stylus pro. The olight is already broken. While it worked I did like it but the on/off push button started to get sticky and then simply quit working. So for my money I guess I'm going to go with the streamlight. Anyway if you really care about the United States I think you would go ahead and buy an American product if it's of similar value.

I prefer Streamlight. I carry bigger knives. Bigger revolvers. Bigger Torches. So the wedge isnt too big for me. I already carry the Streamlight Pro Tac 2L-X

Did Olight warranty the pocket clip ?

in my country Olight just increased the price of WarriorXTurbo with 20 euros. i dont think that flashlight worth more then 130 euros. i expected the black friday to buy it. not anymore, i bought Acebeam L17, the most portable thrower. Olight is becoming like Leatherman in my country, they keep increasing their products price with 20 euros every now and then.

arkfeld uv - white light and uv dual light sources flashlight Olight

Is the wedge and arkfeld battery user replaceable?

Arkfeld all the way

If it wasn’t for my Batons moonlight mode and tail standing ability then I probably would use something else. There are better brands out there.

Grew up on rainier beer here in Washington state

I bought a proTac 2-LX. Worst flashlight I have bought from stream light. The light turns on without pressing any button. It is a very common problem with that particular model. Stream light customer service did not care. I’m hesitant to buy another stream light product.

Nice review!

I think I seen u in Shelton WA somewhere

My olight just gave out on me less then a year in done with this company. Stream light or nothing.

Olight aka fancy China has proven to be junk over and over again for me. Warrior, Pl2 Pro, i5r, all stopped working in some way or another. Stick with surefire, arisaka, or streamlight at the very least.

most people don't want a million lumin settings, and I am damn sure buying American before anything else

The thing about olight that I don’t like is the 4min “step down” on high. Plus they are Chinesium.

46 bucks? Sorry dude try 65 or 70

I have Olight and Streamlight weapon lights and I have to say the Olight really copied the Wedge which is a turn off to me.

I hope Olight listens and fixes the Arkfelds carry

Arkfeld also has a strobe setting.

After 20 minutes of doing work that USB will be packed full of mud sand grime destroying the internal shit making it not able to be recharged.

For me it's about being able to hold it in my mouth. That's why I'm not going to buy the fat stubby light. I wish you'd have told us how much they weigh.

That Olight is more of a forest green than a Flat Dark Earth.

great review, but that beer is nothing to be proud of. There is help available if your a alcoholic. I buried my best friend 38 years old because of alcohol. My barber lost his wife and daughter because of a drunk driver. Alcohol has 2 faces the one that's says look at me I'm cool, I'm tuff, I'm a man I'm drinking beer! The other one is celebrated at the funeral home with a lot of sad faces. My best friend died at 38 years old 4 days later his mother died from a stroke leaving is broke father to raise 3 grandsons. I hope you never see the ugly side of alcohol, please get some help

Wedge for the win

wedge only one mode...not good for edc surviving situation u need at least 2 mode............a low mode that last a few hours at least.

Olight all the way , all those saying “buy American “ from phones made in china 😂

Your should keep your opinions to yourself and just tell facts on the product.

Biggest fail by olight in a long time. Could have been great.
