Olight ArkTac Series – Flat Tactical Flashlight with ToF Sensing, Dual Control and Dual Charging
The Olight ArkTac series takes the flat, pocket-friendly shape of the ArkPro and builds it for duty work. Every version shares the same 17 mm-thin unibody, a tail switch for instant light, a programmable CommandPoint button, a time-of-flight (ToF) proximity sensor and dual charging. Choose the four-light ArkTac in Matte Black, OD Green or Orange, step up to the five-light ArkTac Ultra with its green laser and 2nd-gen OAL aluminum body, or get the Ultra as the complete ArkTac Ultra Premium kit in a hard carry case.
The standard ArkTac runs a 1,700-lumen spotlight reaching 205 meters, a 1,300-lumen Pure Flood for wide close-up light, a 55-lumen red light that keeps your night vision, and a 365 nm UV light (up to 1,200 mW) for checking documents, stains and leaks. The Ultra pushes the spotlight to 1,800 lumens and 215 meters and adds a fifth source, a green laser with its own button that can run alone or alongside any of the other four lights. Strobe is always one press away.
Control is split into two zones. At the tail, a light press brings up the flood and a firm press fires the spotlight, so you get the right beam without looking. Next to it, the CommandPoint gives strobe by default and can be set as a shortcut to red light or UV (and the green laser on the Ultra). The front selector handles light choice and brightness, and a micro-perforated display shows brightness in white and battery level in green. The ToF sensor measures what is in front of the lens and locks the light out if something is within about 5 cm, so it won't switch on, heat up or drain itself inside a pocket or pack.
Charge through any USB-C cable or snap on Olight's MCC4 magnetic cable, which charges about 1.75x faster than the older MCC1A. The ArkTac Ultra body is Olight's new OAL2 aluminum, rated 1.86x harder than 6061-T6 aluminum. The pocket clip, optional ArkSnap magnetic holster (included in the Premium kit) and MOLLE-friendly mounting make it an easy fit on a belt, vest or duty rig. Compare the three versions below.
