Olight ArkPro Nebula Violet: The Best-Looking ArkPro Yet?
If you have been around the EDC side of YouTube for any amount of time, you have probably come across the Olight ArkPro.
If not, the ArkPro is a very sought-after flashlight in the everyday carry community, and for good reason. It is a stable, reliable, elegant platform that packs a lot of function into a slim, pocket-friendly design.
Those of us into EDC tend to go a little wild for this light, myself included.
Olight sent over the new Nebula Violet / Clear White colorway, and I have to say, this one is hot.
Functionally, this is the same ArkPro platform we have seen before. The big difference here is the new finish, and visually, it is absolutely gorgeous.

Olight ArkPro Nebula Violet
The version shown in this video is the Olight ArkPro in Nebula Violet / Clear White.
This new colorway has a beautiful purple and clear white finish that really stands out. The patterned section almost has a tiger stripe or nebula-like look to it, and the violet color gives the light a much more dramatic appearance than some of the more traditional finishes.
This is one of those colorways that makes the flashlight feel more like a collector piece while still keeping all the practical ArkPro features intact.

Lifetime Warranty
One thing I always appreciate seeing is Olight’s lifetime warranty.
That kind of support matters, especially on a light that people may actually carry and use regularly.
The Finish
The finish is really the star of this version.
According to Olight, the finish uses precision microstructures that form an optical grating, redirecting light at different angles. They also mention micro-etching to soften the details and a dual-pass anodization process to enrich the engraved pattern with metallic highlights.
That is a very poetic way of saying this thing looks gorgeous.
The Nebula Violet finish has a depth to it that catches light nicely, and the clear white section adds contrast without making the design look too loud.
Four Lights, Seven Configurations
The ArkPro includes four different light functions:
- Spotlight
- Pure flood
- UV
- Green laser
Because the green laser can be used alongside several of the other modes, the ArkPro gives you seven total configurations.
- Green laser
- Pure flood
- Spotlight
- UV
- Pure flood with green laser
- Spotlight with green laser
- UV with green laser
That is one of the reasons the ArkPro is such an interesting EDC flashlight. It is not just a flashlight. It is a multi-function lighting tool.
Size and Weight
The ArkPro measures:
- Length: 4.88 inches / 12.4 cm
- Width: 1.06 inches / 2.7 cm
- Thickness: 0.63 inches / 1.6 cm
- Weight: 4.06 ounces / 115 g
It is slim enough for pocket carry, but substantial enough to feel like a well-built tool.
Body and Battery
The ArkPro uses a CNC-machined unibody made from 6061 aluminum.
Inside, it has a 2,000 mAh lithium polymer battery. The battery is non-removable.
The machining, finish, and overall design all contribute to the premium feel of the light.
Charging Options
The ArkPro gives you two ways to charge:
- USB Type-C
- Olight MCC magnetic charging cable
I really like that Olight included both options. USB-C is convenient and universal, while the magnetic charger keeps things simple if you already use Olight gear.
Durability
The ArkPro has an IPX7 water resistance rating and a 1 meter drop resistance rating.
That makes it suitable for normal everyday carry use, weather, splashes, and the kind of bumps that happen when a light actually lives in your pocket or bag.
Indicators
The ArkPro also includes useful indicators on the body.
- Charging indicator
- Battery / charge indicator
- Output indicator
Those little details make the light easier to use day to day.
Green Laser
The green laser has both momentary and constant-on control.
You can press and hold for momentary activation, then release to shut it off. You can also do a quick press to turn it on and leave it on until you shut it off.
The high setting is listed as Class 3R, less than or equal to 5 mW. The low setting is listed as Class 1.
The green laser is bright, intense, and one of the features that makes the ArkPro stand out from a regular flashlight.
UV Mode
The ArkPro also includes a 365 nm UV light.
The UV mode has two output levels, low and high.
UV can be useful for checking certain materials, stains, IDs, currency, and all the strange little artifacts that suddenly appear when you shine UV light on a table and start questioning your life choices.
Pure Flood Mode
The pure flood mode gives you a wide, even wall of light.
The flood outputs shown in the video include:
- Moonlight: 1 lumen
- Low: 15 lumens
- Medium: 100 lumens
- High: 520 lumens
- Turbo: 1,500 lumens
The 1,500 lumen turbo mode is extremely bright, especially for a slim EDC light like this.
The pure flood mode also includes strobe.
Spotlight Mode
The spotlight mode gives you more focused throw.
The spotlight outputs shown in the video include:
- Low: 28 meter throw
- Medium: 76 meter throw
- High: 150 meter throw
- Turbo: 205 meter throw
On spotlight turbo, the ArkPro reaches a maximum output of 10,640 candela.
That gives the light a strong, focused beam when you need distance rather than wide area lighting.
Combined Modes
One of the neat features of the ArkPro is the ability to combine the laser with other modes.
You can run:
- Pure flood with green laser
- Spotlight with green laser
- UV with green laser
That gives the light more flexibility depending on what you are doing.

Final Thoughts
The Olight ArkPro is already a beloved flashlight in the EDC community, and this new Nebula Violet / Clear White colorway makes it even more eye-catching.
Functionally, it is the same ArkPro platform: spotlight, pure flood, UV, green laser, multiple combined configurations, USB-C charging, MCC magnetic charging, IPX7 water resistance, and a slim EDC-friendly body.
But visually, this finish is the reason to pay attention.
The Nebula Violet version is beautiful. It is bold without feeling goofy, colorful without feeling cheap, and unique enough to stand apart from the other ArkPro models.
If you already like the ArkPro platform and wanted something with a little more personality, this colorway absolutely delivers.
