Olight's 19th Anniversary: Celebrating Earth Month with Sustainable Lighting Innovations
Olight's Commitment to Sustainability on Its 19th Anniversary
Olight, the renowned manufacturer of portable lighting solutions, marks its 19th anniversary with significant product launches that align with Earth Month. The unveiling of the Baton series and ArkPro Ultra Onyx Black emphasizes the company's commitment to longevity and reduced waste in consumer goods. These innovations are characterized by thoughtful design choices, user accessibility, and sustainability, aiming to lessen the environmental impact of consumer products.
Introducing the Baton Series
One of the standout features of the Baton series is the user-replaceable batteries. This means that users can replace battery cells when their capacity declines over time, instead of discarding the entire flashlight. Such design not only promotes longevity but also significantly reduces electronic waste, empowering consumers to make more eco-conscious choices. The series also features a hidden USB-C port which is less susceptible to damage compared to traditional charging ports, thus ensuring durability and prolonging the device's life.
For enhanced usability, the Baton series employs a dual switch system, comprising a side switch and an end piece switch, which allows users immediate access to a low-light mode. This design enables consumers to utilize just the right amount of illumination for their needs, minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.
The Versatile ArkPro Ultra Onyx Black
The ArkPro Ultra Onyx Black takes sustainability a step further. This rechargeable lamp outperforms traditional disposable batteries by utilizing a built-in 2000mAh battery that retains over 80% of its capacity after 300 charging cycles. In fact, one ArkPro Ultra can replace hundreds, if not thousands, of AA or AAA disposable batteries throughout its lifespan. Consequently, this translates to a reduction in heavy metals used in batteries and a significant decrease in landfill waste.
Designed for multifunctional use, the ArkPro integrates four distinct light sources—UV, green laser, spotlight, and pure flood—into a single compact device. This reduces the need for multiple single-purpose lights, achieving a notable decrease in both product manufacturing demands and environmental impact.
Remarkably, while the industry often prioritizes higher lumen outputs, the ArkPro series is tailored to provide carefully regulated illumination, avoiding excessive brightness and unnecessary light waste.
Eco-Friendly Packaging and Materials
Olight's sustainability efforts extend beyond product design to packaging as well. Since August 2025, the company has shifted to using paper-based and plastic-free packaging sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forests for the ArkPro series, with the Baton series following suit. This initiative aligns with Olight's holistic approach to reducing environmental impact, where it focuses on not just what is disposed of, but also what is prioritized and maintained during product development.
In building these durable models, Olight uses a proprietary aluminum called O-Aluminum. This material is nearly double the strength of conventional 6061 aluminum and comes with a lifetime warranty in several key markets including the USA, Germany, France, Japan, and Australia.
Promotion and Availability
To celebrate its 19th anniversary, Olight will be offering a 10% discount on the Baton series from April 20 to April 24, 2026. The Baton 4 Pro will retail for $62.99 after the discount, while the Baton Ultra will be priced at $89.99. The ArkPro Ultra Onyx Black is set at $129.99.
