The flood beam is nice and wide. There’s some starbursting at the edges but it’s not something you notice during use. The throw beam has a crisp, (relatively) narrow hotspot that I love. Its spill has two flat sides and a corner from the bezel so it’s not a perfect circle.

First impression, really nice packaging. I don't know. I think you can see it. Textured feel. I don't think I ever saw packaging like this box. Really well made. Really freaking thick. I was wondering, this gave me the impression of a densely packed uh product in the packaging. And I was wondering uh what type of packaging is in here to protect it.

Because, as a flashlight (that does a couple of other light-based things), it's really dang good. Not perfect, but really good.

I think the Ark Pro is actually the upgrade at least I've been waiting for over the ultra. Welcome back. So, if you've been following my EDC videos, you know I've had a soft spot for Olight's flat flashlight. The Ark Field series has been my go-to for a while. The ultra was great, solid build, good brightness, decent battery. But, it always felt like something was holding it a little bit back.

It’s a versatile light that I carry in my chest pack.

Great flashlight. Had the navy blue. I gave that to our friend Dame. He absolutely loves it. Very cool flashlight. If you're unfamiliar with it, it's a threein one. white light, UV, and green laser.

This is a badass flashlight. It's perfect for EDC. Uh, it's rechargeable. You have the magnetic charging port in the back that doubles as just a magnet in general. And then you have three outputs here. You have your little selector here. We're in the white light mode right now. So, all you have to do is press the button. You're in the white light mode.

I love the texture on the side, so you got a great grip. It has a couple of different switches. One is for a laser beam, one is for the flashlight, and one, I believe, is for like a UV or ultraviolet light. Look at that heavy heavy heavy duty clip. I like it. I like it a lot. Let's see what we got here. I don't know what this is. Looks like looks to me like it's a gold coin. All right.

And one thing before we talk about the way it looks or its features or anything, the durability on this thing is impressive. And I'm not just talking structurally that it hasn't gotten bent or crushed or anything like that. I haven't babyed this at all and it still looks brand new. This nice kind of green natural uh color has not chipped off at all.

I love O Light's packaging. So, this is the flashlight. It's a beautiful color. It does come in a few more different colors. Also in the box, we get this cool little O light gold coin. And you guys know me, I love my coins. This is a beautiful coin. So that is a nice little collector piece from OE. Olay packaging is one of my favorite.

This an upgrade from the Arkfeld Ultra, which only had a single white LED, UV, and a laser. Adding the second white LED is a nice bonus, since you get a cool white spot LED and a warmer flood LED all in one (only the ArkPro Lite comes with the warm LED at this time).

Yet, I'm here today to tell you not to buy this light. As fantastic of a light this is, I'm going to tell you right now you should not buy this flashlight.

When I say "regulation is inexplicably bad like most Olights", I'm talking about how they can't use Turbo below ~60-70% charge on most of their models I've tested.
