The OLIGHT Arkfeld Ultra is a compact and versatile pen-flashlight designed for everyday carry and outdoor use. It delivers a strong 1400 lumens of white light, which is bright enough for most tasks like working, camping, or emergency needs. In addition to the white beam, it offers a UV light and a green beam, expanding its usefulness for checking items, detecting stains, or special signaling.

The flashlight uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery, which is convenient and eco-friendly, and it includes a magnetic charging cable for easy recharging. Its size is slim and lightweight (just over 4 ounces), making it comfortable to carry in a pocket without feeling bulky. Made from O-aluminum, the Arkfeld Ultra feels sturdy and durable, with a high-quality glass lens that resists scratches and maintains clear light output over time. The matte olive-green finish gives it a sleek, modern look, and it is also waterproof, which helps in various weather conditions.

While it has multiple beams, the green and UV lights are relatively low power (green ≤5mW), so they are best suited for specific tasks rather than illumination. Also, the compact size means its battery life might be shorter under high brightness use compared to bigger flashlights. This pen-flashlight is ideal for those looking for a reliable, multi-purpose light that can handle daily tasks, outdoor adventures, and specialized needs without taking up much space.

The OLIGHT Oclip Pro EDC Flashlight is a compact and versatile pen-flashlight that shines with a maximum brightness of 500 lumens. This level of brightness makes it suitable for a variety of uses, from cycling to outdoor adventures and indoor tasks. The flashlight features three lighting options: a powerful floodlight, a spotlight with a 120-meter range, and a low-intensity red light, catering to different lighting needs. The user-friendly design allows for easy switching between modes, and the battery indicator keeps you informed about its charge level.

One of the Oclip Pro's highlights is its lightweight build, weighing only 1.87 oz (53 g) and measuring just 2.24 inches (57 mm) long. This portability makes it an excellent choice for everyday carry. Additionally, the flashlight is designed with multiple fixing methods, including a magnetic base and a lanyard hole, allowing for convenient attachment and use in various situations. The Type-C rechargeable feature adds to its practicality, and being IPX6 waterproof ensures it can withstand splashes and rain.

There are a few drawbacks to consider. While the flashlight is highly portable, its small size may compromise the functionality of larger flashlights, particularly in terms of battery life under heavy use. The initial moonlight mode can be a bit confusing for first-time users, requiring a long press to switch modes. Furthermore, while the durability is good for everyday use, those seeking a rugged flashlight for extreme conditions might want to explore options with tougher construction.

The OLIGHT O'Pen 3 is a well-designed pen-flashlight that combines multiple useful features into a compact, lightweight form. It offers a bright 120-lumen white LED for clear illumination, enough for close to medium-range tasks, paired with additional red and green beams that are gentle on the eyes and useful for presentations or night vision. The built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery charges quickly via USB-C and provides a solid 25 hours of runtime, which is excellent for long-term use without constantly swapping batteries. Its compact size and light weight (just 33.5 grams) make it easy to carry comfortably, with a sturdy aluminum body ensuring durability and resistance to daily wear and water exposure.

The smooth bolt-action switch allows quick and precise changes between lighting modes with one hand, which is handy in professional or outdoor settings. Also notable is the included premium ballpoint pen feature with a comfortable grip and extra refill, making it a practical tool beyond just a light. The green beam’s power is intentionally kept low for safety, which is great for presentations but not ideal if you need a strong laser pointer.

This pen-flashlight is well suited for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone needing a versatile, everyday carry light combined with a quality pen, though it may not meet the needs for heavy-duty lighting.
