OLIGHT Arkflex Adjustable Right Angle EDC Flashlight, 1000 Lumens Rechargeable Handheld Lights, Two-Way Pocket Clip with an 0-90°Articulating Head for Working Outdoors and Repairing (Orange)

I’ve had the OLIGHT Arkflex Adjustable Right Angle Flashlight for about a year now, and it’s become one of my most-used lights, hands down. As a longtime OLIGHT fan, I picked this up mostly out of curiosity for the adjustable-angle feature—and ended up using it way more than I expected. It’s incredibly functional, thoughtfully designed, and built to OLIGHT’s usual high standards.⸻Form Factor and FlexibilityThe standout feature here is, of course, the adjustable head. Being able to rotate the head from a traditional forward-facing flashlight to a right-angle orientation is a game changer. It makes the light far more versatile for everything from working under the hood to clipping it on your chest or backpack strap for hands-free use.It hits a sweet spot between a headlamp and a standard flashlight. You don’t always need a headband setup, but having that right-angle option is super useful in daily tasks, camping, or any situation where you need directional light and free hands.⸻Brightness and BeamAt 1,000 lumens, the Arkflex is more than powerful enough for most tasks. The beam is clean and well-balanced—wide enough for general visibility but with enough throw to reach out into the dark when needed. I typically use it on medium or high, and it’s been great for both indoor and outdoor use.The controls are responsive, and the button is well-placed whether you’re holding it straight or at an angle. The UI is typical OLIGHT: simple, fast, and reliable.⸻Build Quality and DurabilityThis is a tough little light. I’ve dropped mine a few times, used it in the rain, and carried it in tool bags—and it hasn’t missed a beat. The aluminum body feels solid, and the magnetic tailcap is as useful as ever, letting me stick it to metal surfaces for hands-free lighting. IPX7 waterproofing means I never worry about it in wet conditions.It also clips securely to a pocket or MOLLE strap, and the rotating head holds its position well without feeling loose or too stiff.⸻Battery and ChargingBattery life is solid, and I’ve never had it die on me unexpectedly. The built-in battery charges via USB-C, which I always appreciate. It tops up quickly and the battery level indicator is clear and helpful. For its size and brightness, the battery performance has been more than reasonable.⸻Pros:• Adjustable-angle head is extremely practical and versatile• Bright 1,000 lumen output with a clean, useful beam• Rugged, water-resistant construction (IPX7)• USB-C charging with accurate battery indicator• Magnetic tailcap and secure clip for hands-free use• Comfortable size for EDC or work gear• Still going strong after a year of regular useCons:• Not a spotlight—beam is more flood than throw (but very usable)• Would love a slightly deeper carry clip for better concealment⸻Final ThoughtsThe OLIGHT Arkflex proves that small design changes—when done right—can make a big difference in how a tool works for you. The adjustable head adds a level of flexibility that you don’t realize you’re missing until you have it. After a year of use, it’s easily one of my favorite and most functional OLIGHTs.If you’re looking for a flashlight that adapts to your needs without sacrificing power or build quality, this is a fantastic choice. OLIGHT nailed it again.

This is a useful flashlight. I use the folding function often. That’s why I bought it. It’s well made. The flashlight is magnetic at the bottom and it has come in handy. This is a small flashlight and it’s good if you don’t want a bulky flashlight. This flashlight can save your life! It has a strobe function and can blind a person. I know it’s a bit pricey, but I recommend this flashlight.

I've been using using this light for about a week and, so far, it has worked quite well. The only thing that concerns me is that the flashlight with the head flexed may not be able to withstand an accidental drop, so I have been extra careful to try to avoid accidentally drops. Other than this issue, the light is really remarkable. I have used it at work to help light up dark areas at night when I have to secure merchandise on the front of my store , and I have also used the light to light up portions of my store's the outdoor garden that I have had to water. It truly is a remarkable light at a reasonable price. The magnetic function is also great for me to light up shelves that I usually end up " diving" into for retrieving merchandise. It's a great light, but if you are in a rough environment, then I would recommend the Olight Arkfeld Pro, which is more durable but does not possess the flex head. Overall, the light has a maximum emission of a 1000 lumens at turbo, 400 lumens at high, 100 lumens at medium, 15 lumens at low, and 1.5 lumens at moonlight. Most of the time, when I am working under the racks, the 15 lumens or 100 lumens with the cool white is enough light to perform close quarter type work. The moonlight mode is very handy for navigating around the house at nighttime without disturbing anyone sleeping. Due to the flex design, the heat management is excellent for the higher lumen settings. The flex head design disperses heat efficiently. I usually like the cool white LED emitters for their intensity and the type of " white" light they produces, thus illuminating the details of my operational areas with crisp and clear light.

Best EDC light for a mechanic period. I've been through them all, this beats them all. Great output and battery life is incredible. This will last you all day at a min, this usually lasts me all week at work without charging. Pocket clip design is also spot on. Olight please make your Arkfeld series with the same pocket clip or at least make one like this available to purchase. The arkfeld series clip has to much metal hanging out.

Great light, having the 90 degree movement makes for a very versatile light . Ive used it will clipped to my hat as well as on a chest pouch. I do 12volt installs in cars and this light works great!

Nice light and good indicator for charge. Neck is hard to move. A great magnet but fks with my key chain by sticking to everything. Would be nice if stood up but good for a pocket. Stiff on the neck of it but stsys in place once set. Nice color, semi portable. Magnet can be helpful or a problem. Can put on bracket charger which I like.

Great flashlight!I can't wait for the titanium!
