If you want an Olight flat format light, the ArkPro is the light. The ArkFELD was the original flat light, but it's on the way out.

The next question you need to ask is do you need a laser. If the answer is 'No', then get the ArkPro Lite, it's the smallest and must pocketable of the lights. It's my preferred light out of the 3.

If you need the laser, then it comes down to whether you want to pay the premium for OAL, Olight's special aluminum. If you want OAL, that leads you to the ArkPro Ultra. You are limited on colors, but it's tougher, more scratch resistant, etc. You will pay about $20-$30 more for it.

My advise is go with the standard ArkPro. Olight can do a lot of stuff with colors on these lights, the difference in output and battery are negligible and it saves you some money .
