OLIGHT ArkPro Flat EDC Rechargeable Flashlight — Green Beam, UV, USB-C
Product description
Output and emitters: The ArkPro houses four distinct light sources—a 1,500-lumen wide flood for area illumination, an ~800-lumen long-range spotlight that reaches roughly 205 meters, a UV emitter, and a green beam rated at ≤5 mW (Class 3R). The green beam is independently controllable and can be combined with any of the other outputs for tailored lighting.
Form and carry: The flashlight uses a flat, wedge-style chassis designed to sit low in a pocket. Its compact footprint and slim profile make it comfortable for daily carry, whether for commuting, hiking, or routine tasks.
Materials and controls: Constructed from metal (aluminum alloy body, including the protective cover over the charging port), the ArkPro features a central ridge for grip and a textured side surface to prevent slips. Concave control buttons are ergonomically placed, and a rotary selector lets you cycle through modes easily while a dedicated green-beam button provides quick access to the pointer.
Mounting and hands-free use: A dual-direction clip secures the light to shirt pockets, caps, or gear, and the built-in magnetic base sticks to metal surfaces for hands-free illumination during repairs or campsite tasks. The magnet is strong enough for practical in-field use.
Charging, battery and indicators: Power comes from an integrated, non-removable lithium polymer battery. Charging works via a USB-C port or the included magnetic charging cable. The unit displays color-coded status: white for output level feedback, green for battery condition, and a lockout indicator to show when controls are disabled. In low-power/moonlight mode the runtime can extend up to about 14 days.
What’s included: The package typically contains the ArkPro flashlight, a magnetic charging cable, and a pocket/gear clip already fitted to the body. The battery is built into the light and is not user-replaceable.

VerdictThe ArkPro blends a compact, flat profile with versatile optics and solid construction.

Good battery life, clear status indicators and a secure clip make it an excellent everyday carry for outdoor, professional, and emergency use.

Highly recommend — lightweight and bright
Very light and compact while delivering intense light. Long runtime between charges and backed by a solid warranty. The green beam is useful for pointing and even stargazing. Great value for the performance.

A finely executed flat EDC
After months of daily use this feels like well-made gear. The flat form factor is comfortable in pocket, controls are intuitive, and the 1,500-lumen white light is plenty bright. Adding the green beam and UV makes it extremely versatile in a compact package.

Small but powerful EDC light
Compact, robust, and simple to operate. It puts out impressive brightness for its size, the magnetic charging is convenient, and battery longevity is solid. A dependable, high-quality option for everyday carry.

Well-made and feature-rich
Feels solid in hand. Flood and spot modes work great and each can strobe. UV is handy for nighttime checks without attracting insects, and the green beam is powerful and focused. Worth the investment for me.

Premium build, reliable daily carry
All-metal construction (even the USB cover) feels very durable. Battery life is impressive and the variety of outputs is useful. Slim footprint fits the pocket and the clip holds tight. I use it nearly every day and have no major complaints—would be nice to have a red emitter, but other models cover that.

Essential for maintenance pros
Bright yet lightweight and very rugged. As an aircraft mechanic I depend on it every shift. Fast charging with long runtime. The green beam helps point out distant items and the UV finds oil leaks. Pocket-sized and the clip never lets it slip while working.

Mark 5/5
Top-tier flat EDC with USB-C
The wedge-shaped profile is ideal for pocket carry—no awkward bulk. You get a long-throw spotlight, wide floodlight, green beam and UV all in one. The rotary dial and controls are user-friendly and the overall package is thoughtfully designed.

Built for tradespeople
As a foreman/electrician I’m often in dark, cramped spaces—this tool is a game changer. Slim profile fits like a knife, battery life is excellent, and you get spot and flood with multiple output levels. The selector and center button are sturdy, and it charges by USB‑C or the magnetic cable; the bottom magnet holds well to pipes and cans.
