A clip-on light is one of those small things that earns its place fast: clip it to a cap, a pack strap or a pocket, and both hands are free. The Olight Oclip Pro packs three lights into one tiny body: a floodlight, a spotlight and a red light.
Featured inBest Camping Lights of 2026
We used the Pro and the standard Olight Oclip side by side on a recent camping trip along the NSW coast, so this review also looks at what the Pro adds for the extra money.
What You’re Getting
A small clip-on light from Olight with a 500-lumen floodlight, a 120-metre spotlight and a red light, a dial on the side to switch between them, and USB-C charging. The box holds the light and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
The good
- 500 lm floodlight, 120 m spotlight and red light in one
- Dial makes it simple to switch between the lights
- Clip, lanyard hole and strong magnetic base
- USB-C charging with a durable metal-hinged cover
- Light: 54 g on our scale
The not-so-good
- High and turbo step down after about a minute
- Battery can't be replaced
- IPX6: fine in heavy rain, not for going under water

Three lights in one
Having a 500-lumen floodlight, a 120-metre spotlight and a red light all packed into one tiny device is super convenient. The floodlight covers the area right around you, the spotlight reaches down the track, and the red light keeps your night vision.
There are two things to know about the beam. The high and turbo modes drop in brightness pretty aggressively after about a minute, even though the body doesn’t get that hot. And the floodlight has a noticeable green tint on the lower brightness settings, which isn’t ideal if you prefer a clean white beam.
Brightness and run times
On Turbo and High the light runs at full brightness for a minute and then steps down, so the run time is made up of stages.
| Mode | Floodlight | Spotlight | Run time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo | 500 lm | 380 lm | 1 min, then 50 min and 30 min at lower output |
| High | 300 lm | 240 lm | 1 min, then 100 min and 10 min at lower output |
| Medium | 100 lm | 85 lm | 3.5 hours |
| Low | 10 lm | 9 lm | 27 hours |
| Moonlight | 1 lm | 1 lm | 144 hours (6 days) |
The floodlight on Turbo drops from 500 to about 300 lumens after the first minute, and to about 100 lumens for the last half hour. The red light has two levels: 40 lumens for 4 hours, or 4 lumens for 29 hours.
The dial
The rotary selector switch on the side is the smart part. You turn it to pick the floodlight, the spotlight or the red light, so you don’t have to click through a string of modes to get to the one you want.
Clip and mounting
Between the heavy-duty clip, the lanyard hole and the strong magnetic base, the Oclip Pro is easy to mount hands-free. Clip it to a strap or a cap brim, hang it from a cord, or stick it to anything steel, like the side of the car.
Charging and battery
The light charges through a standard USB-C port, so any USB-C cable will do. The port sits under a metal-hinged dust cover that feels really durable.
The 580 mAh battery is built in and can’t be replaced. Once it eventually wears out, the whole light needs replacing.
Weight and weather
On our scale the Oclip Pro weighs 54 g. That’s light enough to forget about on a pack strap, but it’s close to twice the weight of the standard Oclip.
It has an IPX6 rating, which means it can handle heavy rain but can’t survive being fully submerged in water.
Oclip vs Oclip Pro
| Oclip | Oclip Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Our score | 8.8 | 8.4 |
| Weight (our scale) | 29 g | 54 g |
| Light sources | 2 | 3 |
| Max brightness | 300 lm | 500 lm |
| Beam range | 68 m | 120 m |
| Red light | 4 lm | 40 lm |
| Battery | 280 mAh | 580 mAh |
| Control | Button | Dial |
The Pro is brighter, reaches further and adds a separate spotlight and the dial. The standard Oclip is about half the weight and scored higher for us overall, mainly on ease of use: it has one button and nothing to learn. If you want the smallest light for simple jobs, the standard Oclip does it; if you’ll use the spotlight and want quick switching between lights, the Pro is the one.

A 54 g clip-on light with a 500-lumen floodlight, a 120 m spotlight and a red light, picked with a simple dial.
High and turbo step down after about a minute, and the battery can’t be replaced. It suits hikers, ultralight packers and solo trips.
- Hikers
- Ultralight
- Solo trips
Yes, if you’ll use all three lights. Flood, spot and red in 54 g, with a clip and magnet, is hard to beat. At $60 it isn’t cheap; for simple jobs the standard Oclip costs less.
