New Olight Flashlights (September 2024 SALE)

[@TopDog8762]

Bro I don't know why every KZbin video I have seen on this sale fails to mention the FREE Engraving until Sep 21 When ordering the Olight Arkfeld Ultra and/or the Baton Turbo. You can get both Text and Image engraving on the Arkeld and Text or image on the Baton Turbo. Its a big perk and people should be made aware of it.

[@maxlvledc]

Because they sent it to me, I had no idea! I'll add to description

[@nomercyinc6783]

good customers can get engraving anyways regardless of sales

[@TopDog8762]

@@nomercyinc6783 That is true but its free during this sale, and image and text would cost you 15 bucks I believe. Free is always better than paying for something when you don't have to.

[@Whitepinoy]

had the custom engraving done on the Turbo OD Green

[@AV84USA]

Engraving a flashlight seems odd, and I certainly wouldn’t consider it any kind of “perk”

[@StoicMaverick]

FYI: IPX doesn't mean an internal spec. It just means that it wasn't tested for dust resistance.

[@maxlvledc]

@@StoicMaverick I thought it also meant not independently tested?

[@StoicMaverick]

@@maxlvledc sort of. It just means that it wasn't tested. It's not to indicate a zero, like my Samsung Galaxy folding phone that will have a problem if it's within line of sight of any sand, it just means that it was not tested, and they make no guarantees. It's possible to have a rating like IP4X as well, which would mean that it's dustproof, but not tested against water, but that's much more rare. It's actually really expensive to have the official certification done, so sometimes companies will ought not to test for dust.

[@pretentiousname01]

I just grabbed my free sphere. I am looking forward to checking it out

[@dustinw.5090]

What a pro tip, just changed my limited edition racing pro light. Been hating that strobe since I got it.

[@maxlvledc]

right on!

[@starkparker16]

Gimme an LEP in baton form, Olight.

[@phantom6knight]

We are on the same wavelength! Just yesterday I was thinking, “I want an Arkfield Pro Mini!” Or an i3 laser pointer head, or i3 sized laser pointer flashlight.

[@KM4ACK]

Thanks for the tip! Just fixed my Arkfeld so it will go to turbo on double click.

[@maxlvledc]

Glad it helped!

[@aczm1988]

Ultra also has a glass lens

[@maxlvledc]

good to know.

[@keithdunn6354]

I told them in the pre production survey that the baton turbo should have been a warrior mini turbo.

[@dannybroddy]

I like all the new lights, probably will get the Seeker 4 Pro but best part, I didn’t know you could reprogram the Arkfeld Pro! Also, I thought it was me and not the light lol now I have turbo on double press! Thanks Domenic!

[@samslade5498]

Thanks. Just switched my Arkfeld Pro to strobe on 3 clicks.

[@yom73]

I fully agree with you! When I saw the throw of the Baton Turbo, I immediately thought that this head would have been so much better on the Warrior series (Nano/Mini). I would happily replace my Warrior Nano for the candelas of the Baton Turbo but not sure I am ready to loose the tail switch.

[@JediWigSplitta]

Man you need to get into nitecore

[@maxlvledc]

Funny, nitecore video coming tomorrow lols

[@GBall_Vision]

Nitecore is without a doubt a game changer. Not just ights their other gear is good. Best battery banks in the game

[@Matthew-uz4jn]

Arkfeld pro is awesome but the wurkkos HD01 seems a bit brighter, is shorter like you requested and is more fun to play with and I snagged one the other day for $30 with coupon and promo code. Doesn’t have uv, but makes up for it with rgb modes

[@Olafaloofian]

The Wurkkos HD01 is a fantastic light, I've been carrying it for a few months now!

[@37gdog]

Wurkkos and Sofirn are just as good as Olight at half to a third of the price.

[@maxlvledc]

QC not quite as good, but cant argue with the insane price and value.

[@JoeJ523]

I agree I wish the baton turbo had a tail switch. Still ordered it tho.

[@VxJaMzXD]

i would highly recommend trying the trustfire mini x3, they have come a long way and is a strong Arkfeld competitor

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

Really fair point that if you're in an emergency and need strobe you won't be counting, just rapid clicking! Wish the sphere was a free gift for canada too. Might still spend the $27 for it.

[@maxlvledc]

OUCH! is that shipping??

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

No that's the price of the sphere in cad. Plus $10 shipping unless you spend over $59 So definitely not as good of a deal

[@OnusBones]

You've heard my love/hate comments about Olight before; as they may be useful to others though, I'll repeat them. You will never feel like you're holding a higher-quality flashlight than an Olight; maybe close, but there will be a difference. Their customer service will, unprompted, bend over backwards if you run into difficulty (even your fault). This latter quality in particular makes them worth the business, even though... Most of them use proprietary batteries, which are difficult or impossible (for a non-techie) to charge outside of the flashlight. They are also VERY expensive for what you get. Certain competitors are almost up to the quality (may have identical IP ratings), but are 1/3 to 1/2 the price. You typically don't get to choose the color tone (i.e. 6500K vs. 5000K) except on a very few. For myself, I did get the free Sphere, and finally got an Oclip.

[@TopDog8762]

You make very valid and sound points.

[@omicrondec]

@onusbones What other brands are you a fan of? I've got a number of Sofirn, Wurrkos, and Olight lights, among several others.

[@OnusBones]

@@omicrondec My favorite, by far, is Sofirn. I have many of theirs.

[@sx20Ramar]

You left out that Olight has a lifetime warranty on their lights now Including battery! 😮

[@Whitepinoy]

got the free sphere and bought a 2nd got a baton turbo. was looking at the seeker 4 pro but due to funds couldn't

[@maxlvledc]

I thing I may have been too harsh with the Baton Turbo, the output is nutz.

[@GityaLIVEdnb]

I loved the easy strobe as i switched from warrior mini 2 . still not as intimidating but i like it for night life street roams.

[@henryohenry1504]

Olight sales have been substandard lately. They went from doing sales too often to having just sad deals and no bonuses. Idk how much contact you have with them but if you can mention that they need to do a mini arkfeld! They also need to come out with an Ir pro uv or an IR pro with laser combo! Like they did with the baldr light. The next biggest thing is they need to get away from these proprietary chargers! Everyone is switching to USB and they really should get with the times I lose my charger all the time but I always have my phone charger!

[@maxlvledc]

I feel you, and I agree.

[@DoctorJones841]

The UI change is because two people lit their pants on fire with the Arkfeld pro specifically. I guess the sales numbers made Olight view it as more of a mainstream option, which is why the other flashlights have not been affected. Olight has been ultra wary of bad optics since the incident where they got unfairly blamed (and still do to this day) for what some third-party garbage batteries did. There was actually a brief period where you couldn't turn off Nanny Mode at all, but they modified it due to the backlash

[@user-ii8dz4vu7n]

I am extremely disappointed that they didn't put a USB-C on the Ultra. That alone would have made be buy it over the Pro, regardless of the price. They really dropped the ball here

[@indomotor]

Thank you!!

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

I've got a green arkfield. The one with a lazer and light. I've had it nearly 2 years. I've had to charge it twice. The magnetic system is fantastic. It's well bright enough for me. And has ample battery for my needs for a edc light. I'd like a newer model but i don't think I need it. I wish I could have the light and laser that can work simultaneously and the uv is more useful and fun than you'd think. So I may upgrade just for that and the reversible clip. I've also got a mini 2 on my keyring. It's a handy keychain light. And has decent light output and battery life for It's size.

[@twinty3326]

Not going to lie, I keept getting adds about the new Arkfeld ultra and thought the only difference from my pro was the material. Good to know it mostly was and not worth the upgrade.

[@avxrevo]

Nitecore MT1C Pro and MT2C Pro if you want pocket throwers with a tail switch and USB C charging

[@kathleensmith370]

some cool new lights

[@dgross53]

Thank you for the arkfeld pro strobe fix!!! My arkfeld pro was doing the same thing as the new version. I hated it. You are right, it is a bad move to randomly change the order of get to Turbo. I found it weird as well.

[@maxlvledc]

awesome, glad I could help.

[@StarDarkAshes]

I’m surprised I’ve heard nobody say that the design of the Arkfeld seems to have taken some design cues from Tesla cyber truck. It’s just a long gated, but it seems to have the same facets as the truck.

[@maxlvledc]

Dude...that esthetic is from the 70s lol.

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

The cybertruck just looks like a shiny door wedge. And I'm going to predict it's a bigger flop from the last bare metal vehicle I can think of and that's the delorean. A car that's way cooler and always will be

[@efuller6770]

So the reason for the change to double press for strobe and triple for turbo was due to complaints about turbo being activated in pockets and bags... causing discomfort or melting. Its a safety feature they had an announcement about last year.

[@maxlvledc]

sorry, that is on the user...there is lockout and it still requires a double press for Turbo. If that made sense they would change it on EVERY other flashlight at the same time.

[@efuller6770]

@@maxlvledc I'm not here to debate you, I was just checking out the new lights. Seems a silly thing to be mad about when you showed how easy it was to change back. Hope you have a good day.

[@jboomhauer]

Why don't they have one which takes a normal 18650?!

[@maxlvledc]

The proprietary 18650 let's them make the flashlight very narrow. The battery is used to convey information from tail to head. That is why the Baton 4 and warrior mini 3 are most compact in class.

[@OnusBones]

@@maxlvledc I used to think this too, but it is NOT TRUE. Sofirn has some equivalents that are visibly shorter, by a good 1/4."

[@trollmcclure1884]

@@GBall_Vision after a quick search I think it was better than the Streamlight models I saw. It went from total flood to less than one meter beam at maybe 70 meters. I think the dudes were in the UK so it might be some European brand

[@muddy657]

I have the same thoughts, it would be the ultimate package it the baton turbo had a tail switch. I think im going to go with a convoy s8 shorty nm1 instead.

[@dalecarr5445]

I think it needs momentary mode for the laser and main light too.

Seeker needs more candela... I mean, it sounds like it should be a search and rescue style light... but its all flood.

[@maxlvledc]

the regular seeker version is a Thrower, it also has a tail USB port.

[@theohiaoancowboy9866]

I bought a pro when it first came out. I never had to do that two sitch turbo but I got like 10 of my coworkers to buy it and all theirs were like that

[@AtomicBleach]

I wonder if they improved the lens on the ultra... The pro the lens can melt super easily. Also sad to see they haven't fixed the pocket clip yet on the baton series. One would think they would learn.

[@maxlvledc]

I heard they did, glass now

[@AtomicBleach]

@@maxlvledc that right there is a reason to get the ultra. If the pro gets activated in your pocket it doesn't have a prox sensor and will just burn you and itself lol!

[@henryohenry1504]

Can you compare the UV, the pro and the ultra? Also are there different modes for their UV light? I think it would be good to have a low high or low/med/high for UV light 😮

[@maxlvledc]

they are the same from my testing, and I agree with at least 2 modes in UV.

[@henryohenry1504]

@maxlvledc I have the UV and wanted to get the pro but my biggest concern is the size difference

My boss has the Arkfeld pro and hates the turbo/strobe stock setting so I just did what you showed at 13:12 and now it cycles low, medium, TURBO.. double click drops down to high. Like, what?!? 😂

[@OddBall1997]

I ordered the freebie and an additional one yesterday. Being that I own a Pro S already I'm super exited to compare them... Ship them out already darn it! BTW, it's kind of annoying IMO how you wait to post your Olight sale videos. It's still definitely useful for a lot of people, but when somebody is waiting for your review to decide on a product they are forced to wait. Shoot, I'm pretty sure I've been there before! I totally get you have NDA and whatnot that would cover releasing before Olight announces, but Olight gives customers so little time to decide in the first place many people rely on content creators.

I also like that if I need more light for a moment, I can then dial it back, without having to start at too dim a setting.
