<\/a>The Olight Seeker Ultra is a new EDC flashlight<\/p>\n

With the Seeker Ultra, Olight combines several features, including magnetic charging and a switch that is not blocked as a result. The specs have been improved slightly compared with the Seeker 4 Pro. The battery in particular has been revised.<\/p>\n

Olight has introduced the Seeker Ultra. It is an upgraded version of the Seeker 4 Pro and uses the same form factor. At 5.4 inches long and 7.8 oz, however, it is slightly longer and heavier. The specs are largely those of a slightly improved Seeker 4 Pro. The range has been increased by 16 feet to 869 feet, while the maximum output is now 4,800 lumens instead of 4,600. Neither change is likely to be noticeable in practice. <\/p>\n

The 21700 cylindrical battery now has significantly more capacity, though. The current model reaches around 20.8Wh, while the Seeker 4 Pro still used an 18Wh battery. Olight mainly uses the extra capacity in the lower output range. In the throttled 600-lumen mode, the flashlight can now last 70 minutes instead of just 35 minutes. In turbo mode, however, nothing changes. More than 2.5 minutes is not possible. The maximum runtime at 5 lumens rises from 15 to 17 days. The flashlight can now be charged in three ways. The classic MCC cable can be magnetically attached to the rear, even though a switch is also located there. Charging in the holster is also familiar, provided it is used as a stationary dock. The holster also locks the Seeker Ultra. <\/p>\n

New is direct charging via a USB-C port on the flashlight head. A fixed cover protects it. The holster used as a charging dock also has a USB-C port. An MCC cable is not included. Olight currently offers the Seeker Ultra for $169. This price includes the holster, which also serves as a charging dock.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been involved in the IT business for over 20 years, first as a Sysadmin (Mac & PC; 2000-2014) and then as a journalist (2005 onwards). I have attended many industry events, such as IDF, Displayweek, Computex, CES, and IFA, to cover subjects like mobile and local networks, Bluetooth standards, and developments in the mobile sector. Since 2017 I have also worked as an aviation journalist, which involves traveling around the world reporting about both planes and trains.<\/p>\n

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I\u2019m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u24d8 Olight The Olight Seeker Ultra is a new EDC flashlight With the Seeker Ultra, Olight combines several…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,234,36073,235,227,233,226,365075,236,232,228,229,365076,365077,105,231,230],"class_list":["post-766571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-benchmarks","tag-edc","tag-graphics-card","tag-laptop","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-olight","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-sekker-ultra","tag-taschenlampe","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
