Olight Black Friday Deals: Six Flashlights and Accessories Worth a Look

Introduction

Olight’s Black Friday sale starts on November 12th, and this year’s lineup brings one genuinely new series along with refreshed colors on familiar favorites. The headline items are the three-model Ark Pro series, the upgraded Marauder Mini 2, and the Baton 4 and OClip in brand-new finishes. This is only a partial look at what the sale includes, but these are the pieces worth understanding before you browse the full catalog.

The Ark Pro Series: Flood, Spot, and More

The Ark Pro series replaces Olight’s Arkfeld lineup, and the biggest change is right up front: these slim flat-body lights can now do both flood and spot instead of flood only. The green laser has also moved from the manual rotating switch to a dedicated side button, so you get instant access instead of cycling through the selector. Both the Ark Pro and Ark Pro Ultra keep the UV light from the Arkfeld, but now with selectable low and high modes rather than a single level.

The green laser is a class 3R unit with two selectable brightness levels, also accessed through that new side button. The interface is classic Olight: five brightness levels from moon through high, with a double press for turbo. If you already know Olight’s UI, there is nothing new to learn on the light side of things.

Ark Pro Ultra: Same Beam, More Lumens

The Ark Pro Ultra takes the same core formula and pushes it up a notch. It outputs 1,700 lumens, which is 200 more than the standard Ark Pro, while keeping the exact same 10,640 candela and 205 meter throw on spot. In other words, the beam shape and focus stay identical; you simply get more output to work with.

The key difference is the body material. The Ultra is made of OAL, an aluminum alloy, while the Ark Pro and Ark Pro Light use 6061 aluminum. Olight even stamps the material right on the body under the logo, so there is no mistaking which model you are holding. Battery capacity is the same 2,000 mAh as the standard Ark Pro.

Ark Pro Light: Smaller, Simpler, and the Only One with Red Light

The Ark Pro Light is the odd one out in the series, and that is partly the point. It is slightly smaller than the Ark Pro and Ark Pro Ultra, it drops the spot mode entirely, and it skips the green laser. In its place you get a red light with two brightness levels, on top of the flood light and a 1,000 mW UV light with the same selectable low and high modes.

Spec-wise it outputs 1,200 lumens on flood with a 1,350 mAh battery and a 40 lumen red light max. That red light is the one thing the bigger Ark Pro and Ultra do not offer, and it is the trade worth thinking about. A red light for preserving night vision, combined with flood, UV, and this slim form factor, is a compelling pocket combination even without a spot or laser.

Olight Marauder Mini 2: 10,000 Lumens on Flood

The Marauder Mini 2 keeps the selectable flood and spot switch of the original, but adds a third middle position that runs both at once. A new mode switch under the rotating dial handles the output type, and there is real thought gone into it. The headline numbers are 10,000 lumens on flood, 1,350 lumens in spot mode, and 8,000 lumens combined.

Two additions stand out. First, a red mode that reaches 400 lumens, which is exceptionally bright for a red light. Second, a sidelight activated from the selector switch that acts like a small reading light or lantern at 200 lumens. It sounds modest on paper, but it is impressively bright in practice and genuinely useful as a work light.

The remaining specs back up the power: a maximum intensity of 140,000 candela, a 750 meter max throwing distance, and an IPX8 rating. It ships with a 7,500 mAh 32650 3.7V battery, a hefty cell that suits the output on offer.

Shared Durability Across the Ark Pro Line

All three Ark Pro models charge two ways, via a USB-C port on the side and a magnetic charging port on the bottom. All three carry an IPX7 dust and waterproof rating, 1 meter impact resistance, and a lifetime warranty. That combination makes any of them an easy recommendation for daily-carry use, since the failure modes that usually claim EDC flashlights are largely covered.

One wish that keeps coming back for the Ark Pro and Ultra: the red light from the Ark Pro Light. Pairing a red light with flood, spot, selectable UV brightness, and the green laser in this form factor would round the package out completely.

Baton 4 Arctic Flame and the OClip Molten Lava

Two accessories round out the picks, both in limited new paint finishes. The Baton 4 returns in an Arctic Flame finish, a metallic marbled swirl that looks considerably more interesting in person than the flat product shot on the box suggests. The actual finish has more depth and variation than the plain solid color shown on the packaging.

The OClip arrives in a Molten Lava paint job, and it is a gorgeous treatment: swirling warm tones that make a small accessory feel like a statement piece. These are cosmetic updates rather than functional ones, but if you were already considering either item, the new colors are the ones to look for.

Buying Advice

For most people, the choice comes down to what you need the light to do. The Ark Pro and Ark Pro Ultra suit anyone who wants a slim EDC light with real flexibility: flood, spot, UV, and a green laser. The Ultra makes sense only if you specifically want the extra 200 lumens and the OAL body, since the beam is otherwise identical. The Ark Pro Light is the pick for a smaller, simpler light where the red light matters more than a spot beam or laser.

The Marauder Mini 2 is in a different class entirely. It is a heavy, high-output light for situations where you genuinely need 10,000 lumens, a long throw, or a bright work-light mode. The Baton 4 Arctic Flame and OClip Molten Lava are easy adds if you want something small and good-looking, with the Baton 4 serving as a capable pocket light in its own right.

Conclusion

Olight’s Black Friday sale gives the Ark Pro series its debut, gives the Marauder Mini a meaningful upgrade, and dresses up two favorites in striking new finishes. If you want one slim do-it-all EDC light, start with the Ark Pro. If you want maximum output for around the home or workshop, the Marauder Mini 2 is the standout. And if you want something small with real character, the new Arctic Flame and Molten Lava finishes are easy to like.
