Mail came today, one for the collection and a new bday light! I really like the colours!

Have you grabbed the new Stars and Stripes OClip or OPen 3 yet?

Purchased mine at launch from olight with really high hopes.

Since the first week and many emails, my laser has had a defect UNDER the glass lense.

There seems to be a very thin small crack causing the beam to faintly scatter horizontally, this is very hard to show on camera but very easy to see in person.

No amount of microfiber, glass cleaning, lense cleaning kit has resolved it and olight customer service has been silent, I have yet to recieve any reply from anyone at olight.

The clip has weakened and there is an audible tick from being loose, if you lightly tap down on it, into the light body.

The sliding switch to change light modes is loose, id say its roughly 1cm of play and the physical notch has lost 50% of its feel, its very easy to accidentally switch light modes, especially so in the pocket.

The push button to turn on/off and adjust brightness is a bit mushy now, it no longer has a sharp confident press / release.

The side laser button from day one has felt pretty cheap and flimsy, one of my big worries was it wearing out fast due to how soft / light it was to activate, oddly, it has held up better than the primary on off button.

The light body dents easy, the first few accidental drops put dents into the edges and the cerakote they brag is tougher, scratches / scrapes / rubs off very easy, part of the light body on my arkpro is down to the base metal.

The good of the light is beam patterns and brightness for its intended use.

You get a lot of usefull flood, the spotlight function is only useful up to maybe 20m, it does not have enough of a punch effect to beat the photonic barrier of other lights its size or even street/ building lights.

My other daily lights are an L17 and rein 3.0 both out perform the APU.

UV is great, the laser itself is strong but the defect mentioned above is too apparent.

Simply due to non existent olight customer support, I wouldnt purchase one again.

Even now, if they were to finally reach out after this post, id just cut my loss and use the light till it dies. current state of my arkpro ultra, take today.

Will you be adding these to your collection?

If I remember correctly, I got this Odin Turbo for $380. I bought it in 2020 and never took it out of the box. As you can see it is still wrapped in plastic.

I had to drop my son off for a field trip this morning at 6am. On the way, I noticed I had a headlight out. When I got to the drop off I decided to change it real quick since I had a spare in my car. I drive a Durango and the access to the front lights is in the wheel well. I turned my Olight on and rested it on top of the tire so I could see what I was doing. I guess with the distraction of other parents showing up and it just being really early, I just left the flashlight sitting on top of the tire. After I made sure my son was on the bus, I backed out of the parking spot. I heard a knock and felt a slight bump. I knew immediately what it was. I had run over my Arkfeld Ultra on asphalt. To my surprise, everything still works perfectly fine. There are some scrapes on the body and selector switch and the pocket clip is a lot tighter than before but I’m impressed with how well it held up. I’m kinda digging the character it has now. It definitely has a story now.

And I got it last month 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂

Hello so i recently got the arkpro ultra (last week) and i’ve just been using from time to time but i randomly noticed two things, first of is that the glass around the floodlight has become cloudy (image one) and second is that the glass also looks to be not straight? (Image 2) is this normal?

My arc with the bit attachment is an important piece of work gear atp.
