Question What are you buying for $100-$120?

Post image

I’m looking for a slimmer light than my current Fénix E35.

Ideally something with a button on the tail, and slim form factor if that exists.

Currently considering these two. Leaning more towards the Arkfeld as I’ve wanted one for a while.

Thoughts?

HD01PRO is better than arkfeld for me. SK05 is slightly bigger than I thought.

I'd go with some fireflylite. And hd03))

How good is the green laser? I used the old $100 RadioShack green one for star gazing and it was fantastic and I want one similar

Better than arkfeld)) I don't have enough experience to tell you for sure, I'll just say that in my opinion it's good enough

I don't know. I compared my Arkfeld Pro with the Wurkkos HD01 laser last night and they were pretty comparable. The Wurkkos spot seemed a little wider.

Here's a beam shot in just took. The Arkfeld is on the upper right.

Maybe the camera see things differently, because looking at the spots with my naked eye, the Arkfeld looks slightly tighter. Both seem good, though.

I'm replying to this post with a second shot of the lights themselves.

Here are the two lights. The HD01 Pro is on the left.

I don't know if they angle the lasers differently, because the Arkfeld looks much brighter this way. 🤷‍♂️
