Olight adds tactical ArkTac line and Amber Orange ArkPro Ultra

The lighting maker used its O-Fan Day event to announce two ArkTac models, a new colourway for its premium ArkPro Ultra and other products.

Olight adds tactical ArkTac line and Amber Orange ArkPro Ultra

Olight introduced the ArkTac Series at O-Fan Day 2026, the company said, bringing the flat-body, multi-source approach of its ArkPro line to tactical lighting for the first time. Olight also showed an Amber Orange version of ArkPro Ultra and unveiled the PL X GL, the Oclip 2 Series and the Marauder 3. The launches came during National Preparedness Month, the company said.

The ArkTac Series comes in two models, ArkTac and ArkTac Ultra. A two-stage tail switch gives direct access to Turbo Spotlight and Pure Flood without cycling through modes, and a shortcut called CommandPoint turns on Strobe with one touch by default and can be reassigned to other frequently used functions. Both models carry UV and red light, while ArkTac Ultra adds a green laser. The series reaches up to 1,800 lumens and up to 215 meters. ArkTac Ultra also introduces OAL², a second-generation version of Olight's proprietary aluminum alloy that the company said is 7.3 per cent harder and has 11.5 per cent higher yield strength than the first generation.

Mavis Xiao, general manager at Olight, said the company's products start with understanding how people live, and that its O-Fans have been part of that process. She said the fifth in-person O-Fan Day reflected a community whose ideas and feedback keep the company focused on real-world needs.

ArkPro Ultra, the premium model in the ArkPro Series, adds Amber Orange, which Olight described as its most vibrant colorway so far and one meant to stand out by bringing the visibility of outdoor and emergency equipment to everyday carry. The finish uses a dual-anodizing process, a first for the company, that offers up to twice the scratch resistance of Olight's standard anodized finishes. The flashlight combines four light sources — Pure Flood, Spotlight, UV and green laser — with seven lighting configurations, and uses an in-house EIP 1 LED to deliver up to 1,700 lumens.

ArkPro Ultra Amber Orange, the PL X GL and the Marauder 3 will be available September 21 for $129.99, $149.99 and $369.99 respectively, with the Oclip 2 Series also available that day starting at $49.99. The ArkTac Series starts at $119.99 and is expected later this year. Olight said pricing and availability may vary by market.
