If you put it in lock and press the button 12 times then on the 12th hold it until it flashes, it will change to 2 clicks turbo like all .other olights. 3 clicks for strobe.

[@robkukla2054]

Bro I randomly clicked this video and seen this comment and thank you! My pro was setup to where turbo was 3 clicks and strobe was 2 I hated it now I changed it to normal

[@KnifeLover97]

I think Olight really knocked it out of the park with this new Arkfeld. Can’t wait to pick one up.

I’ve had nothing but good experience with Olight. The Arkfeld series is my EDC light and I absolutely love it.

Huge thanks Sootch! I watch you regularly and am impressed by all that you do to help those of us early on our prepping journey to move forward. I just found that Ebay has a deal with some sellers until 11/11, which gives $24 off of a purchase of the Arcfeld Ultra. I found a seller, offered $90 which they accepted, and with the discount just bought an Ultra for $78 , tax and shipping included.

[@pirateofmiamibeach]

I just got mine. This is a great review and I have to make a review with it for Metal Detecting. I can't wait open it and take it out tonight for a run with the detector. The turtles nesting here are going to be happy with the low light settings on this.

[@YouTuber-mc2el]

I have the Arkfeld Pro and I can't say enough good things about it. Olight simply went and designed way outside the box and it shows. What has really impressed me that I wasn't expecting was the battery life. It simply went on and on without the need for recharging until last night. Recharged in 2 1/2 hrs. from red light on battery life indicator. I use the light almost everyday and it is my EDC. I use the lumens as best suited for the lighting task at hand. I didn't baby it as I wanted to see how it would perform. I could go on and on. From the 4 different lumen settings to the three different light choices to the ergonomic design and the exceptional battery life you cannot go wrong. Olight is setting the standard.

[@Solidus286]

My biggest qualm is no replaceable battery and no USB-C Charging. Have to always find that cable when I need it. But my Arkfeld is a great light that I do carry often.

[@frankievassallo552]

I have to agree with you. no replaceable battery. That is the only thing that is keeping me away from getting one.

[@swarbrickjesse]

@@frankievassallo552 yeah! I mean, even if the battery wasn’t replaceable, make it USB of some sort so I can charge with whatever.

[@AaronScutt]

I understand being sponsored etc, and I love your videos...but I support Surefire and Streamlight rather than Chinese companies. The Wedge XT is the best EDC light I have ever carried.

[@floridaman6138]

I get it, but I do prefer Olight pistol lights for quick detachment and how they actuate, which I just personally prefer. My Olights have been completely reliable, whereas, for example, Nightstick flashlights are made in Texas but are pretty uniformly terrible (and I say this from personal experience within a large sample size). My Olight Warrior X Pro has been great and I carried that in place of 3 different ones they cycled us through, but did retire it to the nightstand once we went to the Streamlight Strion LED HL, which is more compact, lighter, durable and close enough to as good as the Warrior X Pro. The Strion is more of a hassle to charge, but that's less of a thing than it used to be for me. As small EDC flashlights go, I have had a Streamlight Microstream USB for a good long while and don't plan on changing. I'm certainly happy enough with Streamlight to never pay the premium for a Surefire, just don't see the need.

[@ericmcfarlin4272]

My various stream lights were all made in china

[@AaronScutt]

@@ericmcfarlin4272 Yeah, hard to avoid these days...but I said Chinese company. Olight is a straight up Chinese entity...Streamlight and Surefire are both American companies that do have manufacturing onshore for their higher end stuff.

[@dzavelion]

definitely going to try and not submerge it I was worried when I saw it pouring water after your puled it out of the water. I worry about anything with a slide switch like that as is would have tight tolerances and an o ring in to prevent water but I worry about longevity of the water resistance over time of moving the slide. Otherwise love all their other products I have been using their baton series since ive been in the field and been loving it so well see if this becomes my favorite among the ones I have.

[@derekvargason]

You know it’s crazy how much hate olight seems to get. I think I’ll be buying one of these for work, this was a great review. I’ve been using their lights for probably around 6-8 years but I haven’t bought too many because I’ve had no reason to, they hold up very well. My only issue with some of their lights is the magnetic charger on the back that is also the button to turn them on. I’m a heavy equipment mechanic and when grinding and working around metal shavings if you get too many shavings on the magnet, it pulls them in and the rear button will quit working. I’ve since solved this problem by putting a soft rubber cap on the back while at work. These lights preform just as well or better than other “high end lights” and they don’t come in at near the price as some of them. And in my line of work out in the field in rain or snow, hot or cold, oil, and simply just beating the crap out of them by the nature of my job I give these guys a big thumbs up

There has not been “a lot of upgrades since the original pro”. There has been a material change, a small textured grip change and different engraving. Incremental change and nothing more.

[@Hungrybird474]

Hey sootch 👋. I have had the arkfeld with the blue light option and it’s been a good flashlight . I hardly use the high power option as high is enough for my purposes . There’s the one with the laser pointer too but of no use to me . Also , the baton 3 with the case is a good one . Just my opinion .

You can put it in lockout mode click button 12 times and on the 12th click hold it until the light flashes unlock it again and turbo is double click

I hate to be "that guy" in the comments, but here's a PSA, please don't play with your dog with a laser pointer, it can cause behavior issues.

[@aliceburte9278]

Thank You sir👍🇺🇸

[@89dhvac]

Idk I don’t think olight is listening too well…at least not to me lol. I want a version of this light that is as small as possible, doesn’t need to be insanely bright, no stupid uv, only green laser and white light, and under $60. I currently use Milwaukee’s edc light daily as a commercial hvac tech. It’s a great light. Only $50, battery lasts forever, rechargeable, I use it constantly, but I’d really like to have a laser. I have no use for UV though and I’m not paying over $60 for something that could get accidentally dropped down a duct or a wall where it can’t be retrieved.

[@logic63]

I love my Olights but I hate their pocket clips. I've bought multiple clips for older models because I keep bending them and I finally switched to a Nitecore light because I just bent the clip on my Arkfeld UV and they're non replaceable. I'd rather have a beefier clip than the hat clip function. This light looks really cool though.

This one have a much more beefer clip than the Arkfeld PRO, we will see if people can still bend it lol

[@danaoneal1]

I lost my Olight Arkfeld a couple days ago setting up my tree stand. I purposely carry orange wallet, key holder, and light so they are easier to find. Unfortunately it didn’t help when I lost my Arkfeld in the woods. The trial is pretty wet and I think that’s why I haven’t been able to find it. Guess I’ll have to get the Pro, if I lost the Ultra, I’d be more sick than I am now having just lost my standard Arkfeld.

[@Scleavers]

If somehow you can recover your arkfeld serial number printed ON the light, write to olight support and maybe they'll send a replacement unit. Even without the serial number try reaching out.

The pro because it’s cheaper. The only real difference is 100 lumens so it’s not like you’re getting anything better with the ultra. Both lights are almost the same but the pro comes in at $25 cheaper. I’m sure you can even find the pro for even better deals online. I’d go with the pro unless you just have to have 1400 lumens. I have the pro and I’m very happy with it.

yeah I thought it was kinda cool at first but it's one more thing I have to have when I'm scaling back. Found I'm much happier when I have less stuff. My Olight Warrior X Pro has magnetic charging, but the Olight pistol lights I have just take batteries, and my EDC light is a Microstream USB. Only reason I would replace it for EDC is if they would finally get around to making a USB-C version, which last time I checked they still didn't.
