For those who prioritize usability in an everyday carry flashlight, the Nitecore EDC23 offers a seamless experience with intuitive controls, a practical design, and reliable performance. Let’s break down what makes this flashlight stand out from the crowd.
Flat flashlights are cool, they’re hip, and they’re everywhere. It feels like every manufacturer is jumping on the bandwagon, and honestly, I get why. They’re compact, easy to carry, and packed with features. While searching for flat lights, I came across a brand I hadn’t heard of before—Turtle Creek. After checking out some YouTube reviews (all surprisingly positive), I figured I’d take one for a spin. Having recently reviewed the Arkfield Pro, I thought the Castor would make for an interesting comparison.
The Olight Oclip is like the espresso shot of flashlights—compact, powerful, and guaranteed to wake you up when you see just how bright it gets. Don’t let its small size fool you; this little light packs some serious lumens.
Olight has always been a polarizing brand. You either love them for their bold designs and accessible products, or you critique them for not meeting the exacting standards of flashlight purists. I stand firmly in the "love them" camp. Diving into the flashlight world has been an adventure for me, and while I’m learning the finer details like CRI ratings and emitter types, I know most people care about three things: Is it bright? Is it durable? How often do I need to charge it? The Olight Arkfeld Pro delivers on all three, but it’s also packed with unique features that set it apart.
When I first saw the Arkfeld Pro, I was struck by its shape. A flat flashlight? It was so different from anything I’d seen before. We’re used to round flashlights because batteries are round, but Olight broke the mold here. The Arkfeld Pro is slim, flat, and feels more like a TV remote than a flashlight. And that’s not a bad thing. It’s comfortable to hold, intuitive to use, and pocket-friendly in a way most flashlights aren’t.
A versatile and powerful flashlight is a must-have for everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and anyone needing reliable illumination.
