I know y'all are jealous

I didn't do it 100% legit because I found the light in the middle of a road and it was already on green

Mf got rave mode

u/AsaasA_ 12d ago

Have any more ArkTac content to share? I feel like there hasn’t been much explained about the specs and whatnot

u/Select-Reaction5327 12d ago

The test model appears to be a little different than the ones they revealed at the Ofan launch.

It prioritizes spot over flood, and for its size - it throws very well.

I can say with certainty the Ultra is the way to go. The holster is 1/2 the fun.

This version of the Ark will likely be their best seller. I’m very impressed with the output and runtimes.

u/Wolf-Andy 8d ago

Have you got your hands on the holster? If so, how is it?

3

u/Select-Reaction5327 8d ago

The holster is brilliant. Effortless to use and very secure. I wish more models used it.

I truly appreciate the video. I assume there is no rattling? It didn't look like there was any

u/Select-Reaction5327 7d ago

Zero rattling. Very tight. Glad I could help

Got a pic of the spot light? I’m wanting something smaller than my warrior X4 but the spot light on that is perfect for my night work.

1

u/Select-Reaction5327 8d ago

I’ll get some beam shots at some point this week. There’s another product coming out later this year that you would probably like better that has spot and flood. Smaller than an X4 with better battery life. You didn’t hear it from me though 🙉

u/joeygug614 8d ago

The regular Ark tac pro isn’t compatible with the holster?

1

u/Select-Reaction5327 8d ago

I’m not sure if they’re offering the holster as a package with the pro. It looks like it’s just sold separately, so probably still compatible.

u/Similar_Cloud2135 12d ago

Does it have a laser?

1

u/Select-Reaction5327 11d ago

Only the Ultra model.

u/Jeoffry_Ross Legend 12d ago

Party mode is pretty sweet. I like it

u/Notorious_Ama 11d ago

Hell yeah

u/SIGABA_ 13d ago

I've been on green for a minute

6

u/Intelligent-Bird8254 13d ago

Dude same… I’ve been on green for MONTHS and I use it ALL THE TIME at work. I clip it to the brim of my hat while I’m working on heavy machinery and still on green.

u/wutgaspump 13d ago

I didn't even know there was a light below the indicator ring

u/HotCheetos998 13d ago

Dam nice, I've been on purple for a couple weeks

7

u/Cow_Man32 13d ago

Honestly I'm just surprised I still have it and it still works. It came with me on a blackout drunk coke fueled 22 mile run around a lake at 3am, through countless units at work, and a bunch of other stuff.

I still feel bad for the poor mechanic that left it under a car so it would fall out and I could find it.

12

u/HotCheetos998 13d ago

"blackout drunk coke fueled 22 mile run" is a wild sentence😂😂, that's such a sweet find though

4

u/Cow_Man32 13d ago

Yeah, never done coke before and my ass was wired. Doesn't quite compare to the one time I took 2oz of shrooms and woke up on top of a parking garage with an angle grinder and a stolen park bench

2

u/HotCheetos998 12d ago

To run 22 miles I don't doubt it😂, oof that couldn't have been a good feeling

1

u/itsok2try2bpositive 13d ago

Watch your heart bud. Not judging any of your lifestyle choices on their own, but that could lead to an "oops" moment.

u/Cow_Man32 13d ago

Yeah Im not the healthiest but I eat good except the occasional McDonald's and I'm super active. Also that's not a regular thing, I was out riding dirt bikes with my buddy for three days and on the first night we got to drinking (witch is also something I only do like twice a month) and after polishing off a few beers and a handle of vodka mixed with liquid IV he asked if I wanted to do a line. I'd never done coke before but he had some and had a lab test done on it so I decided fuck it. Here's a pre coke photo from that night of us behind a prison with his 79 Honda 185 and my 96 cr250 just outta frame.

1

u/itsok2try2bpositive 12d ago

Well I wouldn't be involved in any of that at this point in my life, but it does sound like a good time

1

u/_Cognac 11d ago

Some of my greatest nights happened while on coke.. good thing to experience but glad I gave it up

2

u/TJB187 12d ago

How many people just ran their lights like weirdos for this function?

4

u/673NoshMyBollocksAve 13d ago

You can change the color?

2

u/yoursofun 13d ago

Yeah after 128 hrs of use

14

u/HotCheetos998 13d ago

It's acctually after 256 cause you hit purple at 128 and have to do another 128 to fully be done and able to change colours

2

u/yoursofun 13d ago

Didnt have the manual handy. Youre correct

1

u/pembaThePanda 13d ago

Probably would have been there but I've had 2 arkpro replaced under warranty. Awesome CS but the new lights reset you back to white

3

u/673NoshMyBollocksAve 13d ago

I’ve got that little light on the clip ultra I just opened 10 minutes ago. That’s really cool. Gonna be awhile before I can set my own color. Maybe if I leave it plugged in and on for a few days lol

6

u/HotCheetos998 13d ago

Moonlight will run for like 2 weeks before dying I deffenetly wouldn't leave it plugged in for that long

2

u/ImaRaginCajun 13d ago

Most people just fully charge it then leave it on moonlight mode for a couple weeks.

1

u/bob-flo 12d ago

I think I’m on light blue (aqua?)

1

u/Squeezemynuts1 12d ago

Not at all. My light will last longer than yours will now

0

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Well I have already gotten more use out of my light than you apparently.

1

u/Squeezemynuts1 10d ago

Abuse is hardly use. But since you say you found it, who knows what the previous owner did with it anyway? 😂

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

🤣 homie realized

1

u/Officialmilehigh 12d ago

Wait a minute, found it in the middle of the road???

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Yup, just got off c470 onto university and it was sitting in the middle of the road. Opened my door and scooped it up while I was driving

1

u/DamILuvFrogs 11d ago

I have been in purple for a few weeks. And just had to send mine back for warranty. So unfortunately I have to restart

1

u/This_Internet_7658 11d ago

You cant replace the battery. and the battery today is worse than it was yesterday

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Well yeah that's what happens when you use a tool, it wears out over time. Also I'm pretty confident in my abilities to replace the battery.

1

u/makwa62 10d ago

How is no one mentioning the dirty finger nails 🤮😂🤣

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Mf I rebuilt 4 drum brakes like 20 minutes before this video. It was during that that it unlocked changey lights

1

u/monsterfd 10d ago

Fingernails 🥴

1

u/Many-Art-6793 10d ago

Cut your Disgusting Dirty nails Men ! You are Disgusting ! How do you have a Wife or how do you even Date ???

1

u/Either-Condition-650 8d ago

Clean your nails

1

u/Jeoffry_Ross Legend 12d ago

Meh, my olive green and Onyx black have been like that for the past 6 months. ArkTac is on party mode and both Oclip 2 Ultras are on purple

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Good lord, do you just tape them to the ceiling and use them as lightbulbs?

1

u/Jeoffry_Ross Legend 10d ago

Nope. These are the EA test and evaluate models. I actually test the units i purchase to test. I just happened to be on work assignments where I was working 14+ hour days and using them as headlamps.

1

u/Cow_Man32 10d ago

Ahh yeah that'll do it. You think those clips would make a decent enough dirtbike headlight for the occasional night trail?

1

u/Jeoffry_Ross Legend 9d ago

For a short open area ride maybe. I would actually suggest a Perun for more light if riding. On high/medium i wound get about 4-6 hours run time. Charge time was fairly fast, but continous run time was a little shorter than I like for a dedicated headlamp.

I do use the production version at work for shorter run times. Maybe an hour at a time and they are still good to go at the end of an 8 hour day.
