Package deal and Handbook
The field for this Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight is an everyday inexperienced field and doesn’t show the seasonal ornament.
Notice that this handbook is for all three variations of the ArkPro, and I don’t like that. I discovered the handbook fairly laborious to comply with! However I’m positive a ton of labor was put into it (that’s the one method it may very well be so complicated.)
Right here’s one little level in regards to the confusion. The picture under implies to me {that a} mild may need all three choices. However that’s not the case. Solely a few of the ArkPro variations have a few of these three choices.
Construct High quality and Disassembly
The Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight is rather like the opposite ArkPros I’ve examined. The addition right here is the printing on the entrance. Santa climbing a chimney! It’s a neat seasonal merchandise, produced by Olight as a present to reviewers (perhaps others too, I don’t know.) I’m not even positive in the event you may buy this merchandise! So particular thanks exit to Olight for this neat, individualized, seasonal merchandise! Thanks, Olight!
I didn’t disassemble the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight in any respect. The construct high quality could be very strong.
In fact, there’s no cylindrical cell in there to rattle round or be eliminated, or no matter. The cell is 100% built-in. That’s good and unhealthy, after all. Constructing the cell in means Olight can get dependable efficiency, but it surely additionally means you possibly can’t change the cell when it wears out in a variety of years.
Regardless of the case could also be with the battery, the construct right here is nice. I like the anti-roll form. Not solely that, however the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight matches into the pocket the place I usually carry an 18650 mild in a way more snug method.
I’ve already disassembled an Arkfeld, and I didn’t achieve this for the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight model. You’re invited to take a look at the images from that overview, although. Right here’s a hyperlink. (Notice: I didn’t get too far with disassembly.)
The Olight emblem you possibly can see above and under has a particular little bit of reflective nature as a result of it’s shiny (not as a result of it’s “reflective”). It simply catches mild in uncommon methods, typically.
Measurement and Comps
The Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight is 124mm x 27mm x 16mm and 115g.
Right here’s the sunshine in hand:
Right here’s the take a look at mild with the venerable Convoy S2+. The model under is a customized laser-engraved Convoy S2+ host by GadgetConnections.com. I did a full submit on an engraved orange host proper right here! Or go straight to GadgetConnections.com to purchase your Convoy S2+ now!
Additionally within the picture above, my Customary Reference Materials (SRM) flashlight is the Hanko Machine Works Trident, an 18350 mild. Whereas I’ve not reviewed or examined the Gunner Grip model seen right here, I’ve examined a Hanko Machine Works Trident Whole Tesseract in brass. I like the Trident, and it’s a placing distinction to the cheap Convoy S2+, one other nice SRM.
Under you possibly can see the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight alongside an Olight ArkPro Extremely flashlight.
Retention and Carry
The Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight has a two-way pocket clip, which is so significantly better than some earlier version Arkfeld-type lights. This clip permits nice deep carry and has a two-way possibility. I don’t care in any respect in regards to the two-way, however I like the deeper carry.
Apparently, the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight does not have a lanyard gap within the pocket clip like some earlier Arkfelds.
There’s a magnet within the tail as a result of that’s the best way the charger connects. It’s additionally sturdy sufficient to carry the ArkPro.
Energy and Runtime
Olight states this as a 2000mAh battery, and that’s completely logical. (A Reddit consumer has confirmed it, too). I used to be unable to realize any entry to the LiPO, however I did run a few output exams. There’s a battery indicator surrounding the swap, and it does point out when the voltage is low. The sunshine lastly shuts off, too.
The temperature strains in these charts are included as common context, not exact measurements. The values signify the vary (min to max) throughout testing, however shouldn’t be taken as actual readings. A temperature sensor will not be all the time connected to the bezel (and even the most popular spot, assuming that may very well be outlined). Even with ideally suited placement, too many variables have an effect on temperature to definitively state a selected max worth.
Charging
The Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight affords USB-C charging! The cost port is roofed by the identical kind of canopy we’ve got seen just lately on a few of the Oclip lights (for instance, the Oclip Professional).
The quilt feels steel, and I would guess that the cost port is waterproof, because the hinged door doesn’t have any gaskets.
I added this picture so you possibly can see how far the duvet flexes.
A second possibility is out there for charging, too! Olight consists of this proprietary MCC charger.
That works simply high quality too, however with USB-C as an possibility now, I don’t anticipate utilizing this charging base!
I solely examined charging with USB-C. USB-C charging works nice with A to C and C to C each. Charging completes in about 1.5 hours.
Modes

|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo – Flood | 1500-520 | 4m+140m | 1322 (0s) 1298 (30s) |

Pulse Width Modulation
Nothing actually to say right here. Not one of the modes appears to be utilizing PWM.
Click on right here to see a “baseline” – a chart with nearly no mild hitting the sensor.
Then there’s the Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight, which has a few of the worst PWM I’ve seen. It’s so unhealthy that I used a submit about it to clarify PWM! Listed below are a number of timescales (10ms, 5ms, 2ms, 1ms, 0.5ms, 0.2ms) to make evaluating this “worst” PWM mild to the take a look at mild simpler. That submit additionally explains why I didn’t take a look at the WF-602C on the typical 50us scale.
Person Interface and Operation
The Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight has two switches! Surrounding that e-switch is a selector knob of kinds, which factors to both white LED output, ultraviolet, or laser output. Functionally, that is precisely the identical because the Arkfeld Professional and Arkfeld Extremely.
One large and unbelievable replace is the indications, seen above. They’re in a hoop between the rotary and the e-switch. The left aspect signifies the output stage, whereas the inexperienced proper aspect signifies the cost standing. Not pictured, however there’s slightly illuminated lock icon when the sunshine is put in lockout mode, too!
They are saying the LED e-switch is nice for thumb use, and I’m inclined to agree. There’s a properly sized pad space for my thumb to relaxation. The concave across the rotary helps with this, too.
The second e-switch is that this one on the aspect. It operates (solely) the laser.
This solely applies when the selector is in both LED place. The consumer interface is similar for flood and spot LEDs. The consumer interface is actually the identical for UV and laser, too; it’s simply with a separate button.

^^ The handbook doesn’t point out the timers so far as I can see.
LED and Beam
These two emitters have the very best kind of optic for his or her function. The flood emitter has a shallow TIR, and the spot emitter (proper, under) has a deep, clean reflector.
LED Shade Report (CRI and CCT)
The CCT for both emitter is cool white. Notice that some physique colours (black, no less than) do supply impartial white as an possibility. The CRI can also be low for each LEDs. I examined output for this Christmas model, and it’s the same-enough to that of the Orange version that I’m reusing these photographs right here.
CCT (Correlated Shade Temperature) refers back to the measurement of the colour look of sunshine, expressed in Kelvins (Ok), which signifies whether or not the sunshine is heat (yellowish) or cool (bluish). A decrease CCT (under 3000K) is taken into account heat mild, whereas the next CCT (above 5000K) provides cooler, bluish mild.
CRI (Shade Rendering Index) is a measure of how precisely a lightweight supply renders colours compared to pure daylight. Scored on a scale from 0 to 100, larger CRI values point out that colours seem extra true to life and vibrant, just like how they might look underneath the solar.
Beamshots
These beamshots all the time have the next settings: f8, ISO100, 0.3s shutter, and handbook 5000K publicity. These images are taken at ground stage, and the beam hits the ceiling round 9 ft away. The final row is UV.
Tint vs BLF-348 (KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b model) (affiliate hyperlink)
I preserve the take a look at flashlight on the left and the BLF-348 reference flashlight on the suitable. These images are taken round 18 inches from the door.
I evaluate all the things to the KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b BLF-348 as a result of it’s cheap and has the very best tint!
Abstract and Conclusion
I didn’t know I wanted one other within the Ark collection, however the Olight ArkPro Christmas 2025 flashlight is a good mild. Olight continues to construct on Ark’s success and even improves the lights that have been already nice! The larger battery is a welcome addition, as is a throw emitter. Having laser and UV nonetheless inbuilt is a bonus! The seasonal ornament is tremendous neat and makes for an excellent reward. Once more, thanks Olight!
