Arkfeld UV Freedom Brass Edition Flashlight: Power and Elegance

The Arkfeld UV Freedom Brass Edition flashlight is a sleek and stylish flashlight that is perfect for everyday use. The brass construction not only makes it durable, but it also gives it a unique look that is sure to turn heads. The ultraviolet light feature makes it versatile and useful for a variety of tasks, making it an indispensable tool to have both at home and outdoors.

The Arkfeld UV

The Arkfeld originally launched last year and was immediately popular for its rectangular shape, slim overall profile and dual capability with a light and a laser pointer.  However, immediately fans began asking for a UV version instead of the laser pointer.  Then in February of this year, Olight answered their customers and officially launched a UV version of the Arkfeld.  In addition to swapping the laser pointer for a 365nm UV light, it was slimmer than the original Arkfeld, had an improved deep carry pocket clip, and included non-slip texturing to the sides to improve handling.

A Quick Recap of the Function

The function of the Freedom Brass edition does not change from the standard edition Arkfeld UV models.  It has six total modes including turbo, high, medium, low, strobe and moonlight.  Accessing each mode is very intuitive.  A double tap of the center button will activate the light in turbo mode, providing 1,000 lumens for up to 4 minutes of runtime before stepping down to 300 lumens for an additional 110 minutes.  A single tap of the center button will turn on the light, providing the selector switch is set to light vs UV mode.  Once on, tap and hold the center button to cycle through the modes – high, medium, low and moonlight.  Also, with the selector switch set to the light mode rapidly tapping the center button will activate the strobe function.   To activate and us the UV mode, simply turn the selector switch to UV and press the center button to either turn the UV light on or off.  Please note that the Arkfeld UV includes a lockout function for safety.  

What Sets the Freedom Brass Edition Apart?

The first thing you notice is the finish and the materials used.  The original Arkfeld UV is crafted from a single piece of aluminum, making it relatively light weight without sacrificing durability.  The Freedom Brass edition, however, is crafted from a solid piece of brass.  As a result, the Freedom Brass edition is more than double the weight of the original Arkfeld UV.  The heft feels great in the hand and it exudes quality and comfort in my opinion.  However, you will notice a significant difference carrying it clipped within a pocket, which could be a negative for some.  If you plan to carry it in a briefcase or backpack, the additional weight should not be a factor to worry about.

Next is the etched American Flag across the top surface of the light.  The ends of the flag etching are somewhat rough looking, giving it the appearance of a flag that has seen rough times but is still flying in all its glory.  The antique finish applied gives it an aged look adds to the overall battle worn appearance.  It is truly a beautiful light to admire.  The overall craftsmanship and attention to detail are amazing and Olight has really done a phenomenal job with this Arkfeld UV Freedom Brass!

Finally, it is important to note that while you can select either a warm or cool emitter when purchasing the original Arkfeld UV, the limited-edition Freedom Brass will only be offered with a cool white emitter.
