Just arrived, review will come in a few weeks.
I like the form factor of these lights, but I worry about the built-in batteries. I don’t like the idea that once the battery is done, the light is also.
I notice that the back does come off the arkfeld, but I don’t know if you can source a replacement cell…
That’s my objection to them. Olight is interesting here in that they offer a lifetime warranty for flashlights purchased in in United States of America, Australia, China, France, or Germany in 2023 or later which explicitly covers built-in batteries. That’s surprising given that Li-ion batteries are guaranteed to wear out, but it’s pretty unambiguous.
We always miss out on those kinds of warranty in the UK, so best to buy one with replacable batts.
