Olight Open Glow Rechargeable LED Penlight 120 Lumen 14m Throw 4-in-1 EDC Tool Description
The Olight Open Glow Rechargeable LED Penlight 120 Lumen 14m Throw 4-in-1 EDC Tool is a multi-functional penlight designed for everyday carry, ideal for camping, presentations, and emergency use. For example, its 120-lumen pen clip light can illuminate a small area up to 14 meters for reading maps at a campsite, while the pen tip light aids writing in low-light conditions. With a rechargeable battery and versatile features, it offers reliable functionality. Featuring a 2-year warranty, this Olight Open Glow for Outdoor Use suits campers, professionals, and EDC enthusiasts.
Powerful Illumination for EDC and Outdoor Use
The Olight Open Glow features a high-performance LED in the pen clip, delivering a maximum output of 120 lumens and a beam throw of 14 meters, powered by a built-in 110mAh Li-Poly battery. It offers four brightness levels for the pen clip light, a 0.2-lumen pen tip light, and a green laser pointer (0.39mW, 510-530nm wavelength), controlled by a tail switch and bolt action mechanism. Runtimes for the pen clip light include:
- High: 120 lumens for 20 minutes
- Medium: 60 lumens for 35 minutes
- Low: 20 lumens for 90 minutes
- Moonlight: 5 lumens for 5 hours
- Pen Tip Light: 0.2 lumens for 10 hours (soft light design, with some light loss)
The penlight charges via a USB-C charging base (included), taking about 55 minutes at 200mA, with a green light indicating a full charge. It is not rated for waterproofing, so users should avoid water exposure to prevent damage. This makes the Open Glow a versatile choice for EDC and outdoor use, though users should manage runtime expectations for High mode and protect it from moisture.
Durable and Compact Design
The Olight Open Glow is constructed from aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish, available in black, OD green, blue, and a limited-edition Stars & Stripes version, offering durability for outdoor conditions like camping or professional use. It measures 155mm in length (6.10 inches) and 12.7mm in diameter (0.5 inches), weighing 38g (1.34 oz), making it slim and lightweight for pocket carry. The penlight features a bolt-action mechanism to extend/retract the pen tip, a strong pocket clip with an integrated LED, and a lock function to prevent accidental activation, though some users find the clip light's placement makes it back-heavy for writing, suggesting use as a light-first tool. This makes the Open Glow a durable, compact choice for outdoor use, though users should consider its balance for writing and avoid water exposure.
Designed for Outdoor Use
The Olight Open Glow 4-in-1 EDC Tool for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, professionals, and EDC enthusiasts needing a multi-functional penlight for outdoor activities, presentations, or emergencies. For example, its 120-lumen pen clip light can light up a small area for tasks like reading in a tent, while the green laser pointer (0.39mW) aids presentations or pet play, though the short 20-minute High mode runtime and lack of power regulation mean brightness drops over time, and the proprietary charging base may be inconvenient for travel, requiring users to carry the base or plan for charging locations. The pen tip light (0.2 lumens) is ideal for writing in the dark, but the pen's balance may feel off for extended writing due to its weight distribution. The Open Glow's lightweight design makes it a practical addition to any EDC kit, offering a balance of utility and portability, though users should manage runtime expectations, ensure proper storage to avoid accidental activation, and protect it from moisture.
