Dear fellow members of the Budget Light Forum,

I just published a comparative review between the Jetbeam E26-UV Kunai - SFT-40 and the Olight Arkfeld Pro - CW.

The review can be found here: Jetbeam E26 UV Kunai SFT-40 Vs. Olight Arkfeld Pro CW - Reviews in English - TheLab.gr

Please let me know which light you would choose and why. Any feedback about my review will also be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

fantastic review! Thanks a lot. I just read it because I got the link from another site and at the end I was a bit sad, because without registering in your forum their was no way of showing appreciation for your work.

Minutes later I realize that you are on BLF.

I would opt for the Jetbeam, as I will not buy lights with proprietary chargers in the age of USB-C. With USB-C and especially power delivery being virtually everywhere, there is no excuse for proprietary charging.

Unfortunately for me both lights are a tad too big to EDC them in my pants pockets, so I’ll buy none of them.

this is the first I have heard of the jetbeam e26. I already have and love the arkfeld pro, but I am going to buy the jetbeam too. I like that it’s SFT-40, and has a tailswitch that goes straight to turbo, which is very nice.

I think the light is kinda ugly, and I definitely think the clip is hideous, but I’m still going to buy one. I also like that it is thinner front to back than the arkfeld pro, even though it is longer and wider. I dislike the two way arkfeld clip, the light is too heavy to wear on a hat anyway.

I will say that you have made a VERY nice and very in depth review with every tiny piece of information possible.

Thank you so much for this review!

I like the kunai.

But I’m so tired of all these companies putting stupid bs like uv lights and lasers that nobody asked for.

Listen to your customers why don’t ya

I’d rather have 2 x Nichia 519a in many different tint options

Buck driver is a must, lights that dim in less than 10 minutes is an instant no go for me

Put as big of a battery cap as you can as well
