The Olight Arkfeld Pro is my EDC flashlight. Its shape makes it easy to carry in my back pocket and it’s bright enough in its “high” mode for walking in places that have no ambient light.
I prefer the original Fenix PD36R. Its 5 lumen settings make more sense to me. Fenix sacrificed battery run time on the lowest end lumen for 100 lumen difference in its highest setting on the V2
Nice choices. The only thing is in my opinion the MH12 Pro is not better than its predecessor the Nitecore MH12SE. The now discontinued MH12SE has the range and higher sustainable output. Yes the beam on the MH12 Pro is nice, but it just does not last long enough. If Nitecore can just tame the heat of the UHi LED, it could be awesome.
hey my brotha eagle , great vid n i e.d.c a klarus g15 n a olight warrior mini 3 for my e.d.c.''s here , if you got anything arounf 3000 lumens n its tactical with lockout feature, let me know , maybe we can trade/swap/barter here , i am a flashlight nerd/geek here b.t.w., keep em coming , thanks bro > tom !
The fact that Fenix has done literally nothing to improve usability/ UI is the reason why Olight has been doing so well. I used to be a huge Fenix fan but their UIs are just so simple and cheap and not very user friendly as the modes are on the other end of the light, definitely shouldn't be categorized as tactical whatsoever.
I have the original PD36R and wouldn’t upgrade to the version 2. But if you’re looking for a better, more tactical UI, then the PD36R Pro has the mode switch next to the tail switch. It has instant strobe capability.
@@DCuerpoJr If you're looking for a true tactical light, last thing you want is two tailcap switches. Far too easy to hit the wrong one during a high-stress situation. Especially with Fenix's offerings if you're prone to seizures with flashing lights. You go to hit the tailcap for Turbo, but accidentally hit the other tailcap for strobe. Only two button light I've seen that got it right is the Thrunite TT20. Side-switch works ONLY if the tailcap switch _isn't_ being used. Once you hit that tailcap switch, side-switch is disabled. Meaning, you can't accidentally hit that side-switch while gripping the light, and get low mode when you wanted Turbo. Unfortunately the TT20 has those ears on the sides of the tailcap that get in the way of activating the tailcap under stress. My Nitecore MH12S (not to be confused with the Pro version from the video) has the ideal tailcap. But, clip retention is weak and the side-switch works opposite of the one on the TT20. It's disabled when the light is off, but bizarrely it's enabled after the tailcap switch is pressed. Honestly, none of the three models shown above is a tactical flashlight. The Fenix and the Nitecore can be pressed into service if needed. But far from ideal.
