I have the regular arkfeld and it's been a solid ass flashlight. I mean it is always ready, takes a beating, shrugs off water (even underwater) worth every penny. I kinda want to get the one with a UV light instead of the laser I currently have.
I've had the regular, and now the pro. I was torn when getting the regular one (before pro was released) about if I wanted the UV or the laser. Decided on UV because I use UV for things like finding AC leaks and curing glues for phones. But was still sad about the laser for funsies, mostly.
The pro has BOTH. So the battery is bigger, the light is 1300 lumen instead of 1000, the green laser is 5mw, the blacklight is 50% brighter, and you can use the laser and the white light at the same time, if you'd like.
Overall it is a little bit bigger, but no longer do I have regrets about UV vs Laser.
