Olight Arkflex 1000LM 85m Throw Rechargeable EDC Flashlight Description
The Olight Arkflex 1000LM 85m Throw Rechargeable EDC Flashlight is a versatile flashlight designed for everyday carry, ideal for camping, hiking, and work tasks. For example, its 1000-lumen output with an 85m throw can illuminate a trail during a night hike, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. With a 90-degree articulating head and magnetic charging, it offers flexible functionality. Featuring a 5-year warranty, this Olight Arkflex for Outdoor Use suits campers, workers, and EDC enthusiasts.
Powerful Illumination for EDC and Outdoor Use
The Olight Arkflex features a high-performance cool white LED (6500K), delivering a maximum output of 1000 lumens with a beam throw of 85m and a peak intensity of 1900 candela, making it ideal for short to medium-range illumination in EDC or outdoor scenarios. It offers five brightness modes plus a strobe, accessible via a single side 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.
The runtimes with the built-in 1050mAh lithium polymer battery are as follows: - Turbo (1000 lumens to 400 lumens):
4 minutes + 90 minutes - High (400 lumens to 60 lumens):
90 minutes + 10 minutes - Medium (100 lumens):
6 hours 50 minutes - Low (15 lumens):
38 hours - Moonlight (1.5 lumens):
10 days - Strobe (1000 lumens):
Not specified (typically 1-2 hours based on similar models)
Powered by a non-replaceable 1050mAh lithium polymer battery, it features magnetic USB-C charging (cable included), taking approximately 2 hours to fully charge at 0.88A, with an indicator changing from red to green when complete. The flashlight is IPX7 waterproof (submersible to 1m) and impact-resistant to 1.5m, ensuring reliability in wet or rough conditions, though its 101g weight with battery makes it lightweight for EDC. The articulating head, which rotates 90 degrees, allows for flexible positioning, but some users note the hinge, while durable (tested for 10,000 swivels), can feel slightly loose after heavy use. This makes it a versatile choice for EDC and outdoor use, though users should note the non-replaceable battery and plan for recharging during extended use.
Durable and Compact Design
The Olight Arkflex is constructed from aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish, available in black or orange (specific color not specified in this listing), offering durability and resistance to wear in rugged outdoor conditions. It measures 108mm in length (4.25 inches), 30mm in width (1.18 inches), and 17mm in height (0.67 inches), weighing 101g (3.56 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 90-degree articulating head for directional lighting, a magnetic tail for hands-free attachment to metal surfaces, and a deep-carry two-way pocket clip with a lanyard hole for versatile carry, though some users note the clip's tension can loosen over time with frequent use. Its IPX7 rating ensures it can withstand submersion, making it suitable for rainy conditions, though users should avoid prolonged submersion beyond 1m. The knurled texture on the sides enhances grip, but the flat body can be slippery when wet, requiring a firm hold. 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 1 second to lock/unlock) to prevent accidental activation and ensure a secure grip in wet conditions.
Designed for Outdoor and EDC Use
The Olight Arkflex for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, workers, and EDC enthusiasts needing a versatile, compact flashlight for everyday carry, outdoor activities, or work tasks. For example, its 1000-lumen Turbo mode with an 85m throw can light up a trail during a night hike, while the 1.5-lumen Moonlight mode provides up to 10 days of runtime for extended emergencies, though some users have noted the articulating head's hinge can feel slightly loose after heavy use, potentially affecting precise aiming over time. The light's five brightness modes and strobe offer versatility, and its IPX7 rating ensures reliability in wet conditions, such as during rainy hikes, though the 1.5m impact resistance is moderate, so users should avoid drops. The Arkflex's articulating head, magnetic tail, and two-way clip make it ideal for hands-free use, such as attaching to a car hood during repairs or clipping to a hat as a headlamp, 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 flexible, bright EDC light for outdoor and work scenarios, offering a balance of power and runtime, though users should plan for recharging and be mindful of the hinge's long-term durability.
