Seeker 4 Pro | A Bright New Addition from Olight

Having an extra flashlight can help make life at camp easier when you need a light. Olight’s new flashlight, the Seeker 4 Pro, fits in at the campsite and around the neighborhood as a high-powered torch for low-light situations. Building on the Seeker 3 Pro, Olight has introduced the Seeker 4 this year. Olight was also generous enough to send TGB a Seeker 4 Pro to try out.

Seeker 4 Pro Overview

The Seeker 4 Pro is a compact flashlight measuring 5.20 inches long. The light is all metal with a silicone wrap around the body. At the tail cap, there is a built-in magnet that is also compatible with Olight’s magnetic charger. During a recent hunting trip, the magnet was handy at base camp because I could leave the light on the metal frame of my bunkhouse’s door in case I needed the flashlight to go outside. Above the tail cap is the silicone wrap. The wrap serves two purposes on the flashlight. The first is to increase a user’s ability to maintain his grip on the Seeker. The second is to help index the flashlight by using the molded finger grooves.

Above the wrap is the rotating metal side switch. The switch controls the Seeker 4 Pro’s power and brightness settings. The metal bezel also has side indicator lights that show both the battery power and the light’s brightness on the left and right sides. At the flashlight’s head are four high-performance LED bulbs with a max output of 4,600 lumens combined. Users should note that, unlike other Olight flashlights, the Seeker’s head does not have a built-in proximity sensor.

Seeker 4 Pro Features

The Seeker 4 Pro has six light modes. The Turbo mode starts with an output of 4,600 lumens. 400 more lumens than the Seeker 3 Pro, And then drops to 1,196 lumens after two and a half minutes. The High mode has an initial 1,200 lumens output and finally drops to 600 lumens after seventy-five minutes. The Medium setting burns at 300 lumens for eleven hours. Following the Medium setting, the Low setting sends 50 lumens and runs for 60 hours before exhausting the battery. The fifth setting is the moonlight setting. At this point, the Seeker sends out five lumens and runs for 15 days. The final setting is the Strobe setting.

The Seeker 4 Pro includes several other handy features. The first feature is the ability to increase or decrease the light while it is off. Another feature is the built-in timer, which can shut off the Seeker after three or nine minutes. Additionally, the light features a lock mode to prevent accidentally discharging the Seeker. Olight also includes a carry holster that locks the light from going above 600 lumens when in the holster. The holster also acts as a charging station for the flashlight with a USB-C cable. The Seeker 4 has been awarded an IPX8 waterproof rating. I tested the Pro’s waterproofness by letting it sit in a bowl of water for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes of submersion, the light was still functioning without any issue.

Final Thoughts

The Seeker 4 Pro is a sturdy outdoor light that functions well in urban and wild settings. Having the light while in the mountains was helpful for me when walking around base camp at night. One minor point I had with using the Seeker was getting used to was holding down the switch for two seconds to turn on the light. However, I appreciate how easy it is to switch between modes by rotating the switch. This flashlight works well for camping, those doing security shifts at night, and a part of a car’s emergency kit.
