Description
The Olight Arkfeld UV 1000LM 101m Throw EDC Flashlight 365nm UV is a slim, dual-light source flashlight designed for everyday carry, ideal for outdoor activities, cleanliness detection, and emergencies. Its 1000-lumen output with a 101m throw can illuminate a trail during a night walk, while the 365nm UV light can detect pet stains in a hotel room. With a flat design and magnetic charging, it offers versatile functionality. Featuring a 2-year warranty, this flashlight suits campers, travelers, and EDC enthusiasts.
Powerful Illumination for EDC and Outdoor Use
The Olight Arkfeld UV features a Cree XP-L2 LED, delivering a maximum output of 1000 lumens with a beam throw of 101m and a peak intensity of 2560 candela. It includes a 365nm UV light with a power rating of 580mW, perfect for detecting stains, validating currency, or identifying fluorescent materials. The flashlight offers five brightness modes plus a strobe, accessible via a rotating dial and pushbutton switch:
- Turbo: Brightest setting for maximum visibility.
- High: Strong illumination for sustained use.
- Medium: Balanced output for general tasks.
- Low: Energy-saving mode for longer runtime.
- Moonlight: Minimal light for extended use.
- Strobe: Disorienting flash for emergencies.
- UV Light: For detection and fluorescence.
The runtimes with the built-in 1050mAh lithium polymer battery are as follows:
- Turbo (1000 lumens): 4 minutes, drops to 300 lumens: 110 minutes
- High (300 lumens): 126 minutes, drops to 60 lumens: 34 minutes
- Medium (60 lumens): 11 hours 50 minutes
- Low (15 lumens): 41 hours
- Moonlight (1 lumen): 8 days
- Strobe (1000 lumens): Not specified (typically 1-2 hours)
- UV Light (580mW): 4 hours
Powered by a non-replaceable 1050mAh lithium polymer battery, it features magnetic USB-C charging (cable included), taking approximately 2 hours to fully charge, with an indicator changing from red to green when complete. The flashlight is IPX7 waterproof (submersible to 1m) and impact-resistant to 1m, ensuring reliability in wet or rough conditions, though its 87g weight with battery makes it lightweight for EDC. This makes it a versatile choice for everyday carry and outdoor use, though users should note the non-replaceable battery and plan for recharging during extended use.
Durable and Compact Design
The Olight Arkfeld UV is constructed from aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish, available in colors like OD Green, black, and orange (specific color not specified in this listing), offering durability and resistance to wear in rugged outdoor conditions. It measures 110mm in length (4.33 inches), 25mm in width (0.98 inches), and 15mm in height (0.59 inches), weighing 87g (3.07 oz) with the battery, making it slim and pocket-friendly for EDC, often described as credit card-sized in user feedback. The flashlight features a magnetic tail for hands-free attachment to metal surfaces, a deep-carry two-way pocket clip with a lanyard hole for versatile carry, and an anti-slip flat body with diagonal knurling on the sides for improved grip, though some users note the smooth finish can still be slippery when wet, requiring a firm grip. Its IPX7 rating ensures it can withstand submersion, making it suitable for rainy conditions, though users should avoid prolonged submersion beyond 1m. This makes it a durable, compact choice for EDC and outdoor use, though users should use the lockout function (press and hold the switch for 2 seconds to lock/unlock) to prevent accidental activation and ensure a secure grip in wet conditions.
Designed for Outdoor and EDC Use
The Olight Arkfeld UV for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, travelers, and EDC enthusiasts needing a slim, dual-purpose flashlight for everyday carry, outdoor activities, or emergencies. Its 1000-lumen Turbo mode with a 101m throw can light up a trail during a night walk, while the 365nm UV light can detect pet urine stains in a hotel room or identify scorpions during a desert hike, though some users have noted the UV light allows a small amount of white light to shine through, which can reduce its effectiveness for precise detection tasks without a ZWB2 filter. The light’s five brightness modes and UV light offer versatility, and its IPX7 rating ensures reliability in wet conditions, such as during rainy hikes, though the 1m impact resistance is moderate, so users should avoid drops. The Arkfeld UV’s flat design and magnetic tail make it ideal for hands-free use, such as attaching to a car hood during repairs, but the non-replaceable battery may be a drawback for long-term use, as reported in user feedback. It’s perfect for those needing a compact, dual-light EDC tool for outdoor and cleanliness detection scenarios, offering a balance of power and utility, though users should plan for recharging and be mindful of the UV light’s performance for specialized tasks.
