Ooh. I have an Olight Arkfeld Pro every day carry flashlight that I love. It's kind of flat and has a good clip for your pocket. Brightest mode is 1300 lumens and also has a blacklight and a 5mw green laser. Built solid as can be and has a lifetime warranty, including the built in battery. Love the thing.
Hank makes great lights, but I love OLights. I have 3 of those damned Arkfelds - I loved the UV one so much I got the laser version, and then they came out with the tri-function version!
It's such a great light! The UI is fantastic, the battery indicator is pretty, the UV is incredibly bright, and kudos to them for choosing a laser color other than red - green was a good choice. The battery lasts forever, the rectangle form factor is super comfortable to pocket-carry, and (of course) the 5-mode light is bright and clean. Oh, and that tail magnet is a beast! It's the only flashlight I carry, anymore.
That said, I'd give up some of that huge battery to slim it down. The original Arkfelds are OK, but the new tri-function is chonky. Doesn't stop me from carrying it, but it's right on the threshold. I could go for a smaller tri-function; the current battery is IMO overkill.
While I like the magnetic charger, I do wish it had a USB-C charge port. As is, having to travel with an extra bespoke charge cable sucks. It's my only real beef with OLights; contact charging is nice, but I'd trade it for versatility.
The proprietary charger is my only real negative about it. If not for that, I would take a slimmer version, like the old one over the bigger battery, but since I don't have as much access to my proprietary charger like I do with USB c all over the place I'm good with the bigger battery.
Right? If it had a C charging port, it wouldn't need the big battery.
I've been carrying and using the tri-function since it arrived, at the end of October. It's still at 4 bars. I haven't tried to run it down, but it's an absurd amount of battery.
