The Olight Oclip Pro S is a compact clip-on EDC flashlight released in March 2026, representing the most feature-packed iteration of Olight’s popular Oclip series.
It builds on the foundation of the Oclip Pro by adding full RGB lighting and high-purity UV output, turning what was already a capable clip light into a genuine five-in-one lighting tool — all in a body that fits in a shirt pocket.
Design and Build Quality
The Olight Oclip Pro S shares the same core form factor as its predecessor: a rectangular 6061 aluminum alloy body measuring 57 x 28 x 27mm and weighing 53g (1.87oz).
The rectangular profile is intentional — it sits flat against surfaces, slides cleanly into MOLLE webbing, and stays oriented correctly when clipped to gear rather than rotating like a cylindrical light would.
Build quality throughout is solid. All edges are chamfered for carry comfort, the anodizing is even and consistent, and the spring-loaded aluminum charging port cover — which snaps open and closed on a spring mechanism — is a particularly well-executed detail that sets it apart from the rubber plug covers common on other lights.
The IPX6 waterproof rating means it handles rain and water exposure without issue, and notably the rating holds even with the charging port open.
The Pro S is available in seven variants: plain black and signal orange, plus five additional options featuring decorative patterns and character graphics for buyers who want something more distinctive.
The Five-Light System
Where the standard Oclip Pro offers a floodlight, spotlight, and red light, the Pro S reorganizes its auxiliary outputs entirely to deliver a five-source system: white flood, white spot, red, green, blue, and UV — all in the same compact body.
White Floodlight — The primary emitter tops out at 600 lumens, up from 500 on the standard Pro. The wide, even beam handles close-range tasks, walking, and general illumination well. Turbo mode sustains peak output for one minute before stepping down to 300 lumens (sustainable for around 50 minutes), then further to 100 lumens for extended use.
White Spotlight — A second dedicated white emitter provides a more focused throw with a rated beam distance of 80 meters. It isn’t a pinpoint thrower but offers enough reach for hiking, scanning a campsite, or any task that benefits from directional range.
RGB Lighting — The headline addition on the Pro S is a full RGB emitter supporting individual red, green, and blue output. Each color is available in steady mode at two brightness levels (High and Low), and flashing mode adds individual color flash patterns, a scrolling RGB cycle effect that transitions through colors automatically, and a standalone red blink mode.
Practical uses span a wide range: red for preserving night vision at camp, green for reading maps without significant light scatter, blue for roadside or emergency signaling, and the scrolling mode as a high-visibility attention-getter in low-light environments. Photographers and content creators have also found the RGB modes useful for atmospheric background lighting.
UV Light — A high-purity 365nm UV emitter adds detection and inspection capability. The 365nm wavelength is the professional standard — it produces minimal visible purple light, focusing energy into the true UV spectrum and causing fluorescent materials to glow vividly against a dark background.
This makes it effective for spotting pet stains, biological residue, mold, mineral deposits, counterfeit currency detection, and fluorescent security features on IDs and documents. The 365nm output is meaningfully more capable than the 395nm UV found in cheaper lights, which often produce a distracting purple wash that reduces contrast.
User Interface
The Pro S uses a two-control system: a three-position rotary dial selects the light source group (white, RGB, or UV), and a central e-switch handles on/off and brightness cycling within each group.
This combination allows quick source switching without memorizing button sequences — rotating the dial is a tactile, intuitive action that can be done without looking.
Within RGB mode, a double-press of the button cycles through the available color and pattern options. The light ships in lockout mode; a two-second press-and-hold of the power switch exits lockout and activates the selected mode.
Battery and Charging
The Pro S runs on a built-in non-removable lithium-ion battery charged via USB-C. The hinged metal port cover keeps the charging port protected and maintains the IPX6 rating throughout.
Runtime varies significantly by mode. White light on the lowest Moonlight setting reaches up to 144 hours. The 600-lumen Turbo mode runs for one minute before stepping down, with sustained use at 300 lumens lasting around 50 minutes.
RGB runtime is color-dependent — blue is the least efficient at around 9 hours at its lowest setting, while red and green are considerably more efficient at up to 26 hours each.
A multicolor indicator LED in the center of the button displays charge status at a glance, and a built-in buck driver provides regulated output with no PWM flickering detectable visually or on camera.
Mounting Options
The spring-loaded aluminum clip runs the full length of the back of the light, rated for 10,000 open-close cycles. It holds securely on hat brims, backpack straps, belt loops, shirt pockets, and MOLLE webbing.
The clip also houses a strong magnet that allows the light to be mounted hands-free to any magnetic metal surface — useful for engine bay work, electrical panel access, or any task where you need directed light without holding it.
A lanyard hole at the base adds a third carry option for those who want it tethered.
Who It’s For
The Oclip Pro S is a strong fit for anyone who wants a single compact light that goes well beyond basic illumination.
The RGB and UV additions push it from a simple EDC torch into something closer to a utility tool — useful for outdoor and camping use, automotive work and roadside emergencies, home inspection, nighttime safety, and content creation.
The main limitations worth knowing: the battery is sealed and non-removable, Turbo mode doesn’t sustain peak output for more than a minute, and getting the most out of the full feature set does require some familiarity with the button combinations.
Those wanting the simplest possible experience may prefer the base Oclip Pro. Those prioritizing maximum ruggedness should look at the Oclip Ultra’s aerospace-grade OAL aluminum construction. But for the widest practical feature set in the Oclip lineup, the Pro S is the clear choice.
