Sale history: Olight lists US$129.99 / C$179.99 and runs 15-20% sitewide events every few weeks, so US$103.99 was the street price at launch (Nov 2025) and over Black Friday 2025. The Onyx Black finish arrived April 2026 at the same MSRP; expect ~US$104 / C$145 on promo days.

Pros

  • Four sources (1,700 lm flood, 800 lm/205 m spot, 365 nm UV, green laser) in a 16 mm flat body
  • Rotary selector plus a separate laser switch; no mode-cycling
  • USB-C and magnetic charging; up to 14 days on moonlight
  • Two-way clip, anti-roll shape, lifetime warranty

Cons

  • Built-in battery cannot be replaced
  • Cool white only, low CRI (~67)
  • Measured output ~80% of claimed; turbo limited below 75% charge
  • Onyx Black is a cosmetic finish for ~US$20 over the regular Ultra

Why it is on the owner's desk

Flat pocket light with flood, spot, UV and a green laser; evening dog walks and finding things in the car and the boat. The question it answers for a buyer: Do you need a dedicated light when your phone has one?

From the owner · T.R.

“Bought July 2026 on the same Amazon order as dog gear, which is the honest summary of what it is for. The Acebeam TAC 2AA it replaced took AA batteries, which I liked in theory and never kept charged in practice.”

Specs that matter

  • 1,700 lm flood / 800 lm spot, 205 m throw
  • 124 x 27 x 16 mm, ~115-120 g
  • 2,000 mAh built-in, USB-C + magnetic charging
  • IPX7, 1 m drop, 365 nm UV, Class 1 green laser

Alternatives weighed

  • Olight ArkPro (researched, ~US$20 less): same flat body without the UV/laser
  • Acebeam TAC 2AA (previously owned): a conventional AA tube light; the ArkPro replaced it in the pocket
