Olight Arkfeld Series: 4 Ideas for Future Models

[@keithdunn6354]

I agree with your wish list. I would carry a arkfeld more if it was a thrower.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

It would be neat to have a model like that in the lineup.

Something coming you will be happy with!

Flood and spot would be a sweet option. But I do like my UV light now that I’ve had it a while. It’s always nice to super charge my glow in the dark gear with it. Tail switch would definitely be nice for tactical operation of the light. That’s why I prefer the warrior 3S or warrior mini 3 many days. Removable battery would be handy but not so imperative with lifetime warranty. USB C charging port not as big of a deal now that I’ve accumulated quite a few chargers including the 4 port bar. All great ideas though. Hopefully Olight picks up on some of them! Thanks for the content

Good points and thanks for sharing your thoughts! We have some glow in the dark stars for kids at home and the UV definitely helps those “charge” super well.

My Warrior Nano has a magnetic, two-stage tail switch along with a side switch, so it may be possible with an Arkfeld model. I ordered the navy blue Arkfeld Ultra, which is a Loyalty Program deal. I'm still waiting for it to ship. It's 50% off of the list price due to the finish not being as durable as the olive green version. What happened to the finish on the top surface of yours? It looks a bit worn off.

My blue Aekfeld Ultra has already arrived, and it is georgous!

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Good call. Yeah, I think sticking to a metal switch would be best in terms of durability as well. As for my Arkfeld Ultra, I took 80 grit sandpaper to it in a past video to test OAL. It held up surprisingly well.

[@garyk4017]

@@PardonMyEnglish I see. I won't try that with the blue one. I just hope the finish on it is as durable as a normal (non-OAL) Olight.

@@My.Phone. That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to receiving mine.

why does everyone want usb-c charging? i don´t care that it´s propietary it´s so much better and easier. usb ports are just another potenial failure point

My opinion on the Arkfeld ultra is that they should of put a better selector switch that had better detents and better visual indicators. Right now you can have the switch in the middle of a selection and it might be the uv or lazer that turns on. Very stupid by a company like Olight to put such a shitty switch on there. Their Pocket clip Pro switch is much better. Other than that the light is awesome. Built like a tank. Come on Olight fix that selector switch. It really sucks balls. Also like the way the lights angle down for the purpose of a hat cap mount. Lot of reviews don't even realize that.

[@EricLoeser]

Liked your reviews. That Pocket clip pro for the price is a hit. One thing that reviewers do not cover is that I love the magnetic charging connections but it is proprietary to Olight. C is universal and the cables are everywhere. But on anything that is out in the elements Olight magnetic charging system is the most durable. I am an Aircraft mechanic with 38 years of experience. That Arkfeld light is a hit for my profession. But like I said they need to improve the selector switch. The UV is great for leak detection. Checking phony Bills. Dont know if you did that. Shine the Uv light on a 5 10 20 50 100....bills. Fun bar trick. Also the pointer comes in handy when your training. All in all Olight has the market right now. Keep up the good work. Cya next review.

You know it. Filmed and edited haha

Stayed away from the Arkfeld at first,because of the non replaceable battery, but have caved in and bought the Ultra , I believe they should / could make the Arkfeld series with replaceable batteries.

[@EricLoeser]

With a lifetime warranty. And if you take care of the light. How long do you think it will be before you wear out the battery. Even then I believe Olight will replace it for you. Also How about your new cell phone? Can you replace the battery on that? I know its is convenient to carry a battery with you on a trip were you can just swap it out. But how many times does that happen? if so get the baton 4. There are flaws with this light. But the battery is not one of them.
