    I agree that Olight makes lots of “fun” lights that are also useful and of high quality (and I have the literal receipts to prove it), but please review lights from other companies, too. Like you, I understand that some folks would rather have USB-C charging ports, but I prefer Olight’s proprietary charging system not only because it is quick and easy, but also because it enhances the water resistance, because there is no opening to be protected.
    I find the lux and temperature readings very informative, and I also like that your language is family-friendly; please continue that.

      Thanks, Kris. I really appreciate the comment. I have more from different companies...and different price ranges...in line to be tested. If you have suggestions, I am all ears.
      Side note...I'll always keep it clean here. While I can cuss like a drunken sailor behind closed doors, I believe there is a time, a place and an audience to respect.

    Do you know if there is a plastic protective film over the lens that needs to be removed?

      I don't recall there being one one the two that I have. However, I am only going by memory. Why do you ask?

      I actually just used this today for a client presentation for my day job. And you’re absolutely right.

    Looks like a great light. However, I stopped buying Olight flashlights years ago because of the proprietary charging. I have a Klarus R30 with a proprietary charging cable, but at least the batteries are removable. Olight, in effect, has now doubled-down on the likelihood of stranding their customers by going with proprietary charging and an unremovable power source.
    It's too bad, I would have bought several of these lights if Olight offered them with standardized charging and a sensible and removable power supply.

      I can't disagree with that. While I like the convenience of the charging (it works great) I do agree about it not being serviceable, it makes you worry just a bit. Case in point, I actually had the very light in this video on hand in a client presentation. I pulled it out and hit the button and...nothing. I put it on the charger and it never changed from green to red. I remembered seeing this comment and started to worry that my Arkfeld had a glitch and was bricked. However...I forgot that I locked it before I put it in my computer bag. 🤣 It was still fully charged and worked great once I remember to hold the button for one second to unlock it.😜

      Yes, 4 green lights but one turns red. See the 6:45 mark.

    I might have mistaken my tv control for camping or watch tv with my flashlight. 🤔 Not for me. The flashlight must look like a flashlight not a remote control.

    • @handheldlightreviews
      @handheldlightreviews  ปีที่แล้ว

      I can see that happening, it is very similar to a modern TV remote. I didn't even make the connection until you mentioned it.

    $10 or less without replaceable battery is just use and dispose, any good flashlight that you throw away after 40 or so charges is disgusting to me. Just saying crossed my mind.
