Hi guys, stumbled upon an early access Arktac on eBay for 80 bucks and had to see if it was real or not. Turns out it was! Are the people that got these from olight under an NDA or something? Its a neat light. Doesn't have the laser or the UV option but I may carry it until the official release. Sorry about the crappy beans. Its very well lit where I live.

They sell them in the FB group all the time for cheap, they have less features than the retail models so people dump them after the NDA is over (it is)

Makes sense, thanks for the info.

Does it have the same beam shape issue with their previous flat lights? Or they're able to fix that?

This is due to how the the emitters are situated in the housing. It hasn’t changed on any of the Ark lights, including the ArkTac.

The spot beam has the funky cutoff on all of them because the actual housing cuts it off. Hasn’t bothered me one bit in actual use though.

Oh I thought they would've rework that somehow.
