    Viking Pro V3 durability

    Firstly I apologize for the blurry pics. My gopro doesnt work well close in and my phone camera has a broken lense. So today I had some free time at in the warehouse. I found a large garbage bin (12ft x 24) and threw the light at it as hard as I could from about 10 feet away. I did this...

    Viking Pro V3 durability

    My thoughts exactly. But if it all looks good qaulity, what will seperate it from the surefires and elzettas besides price and minor QC issues?

    Viking Pro V3 durability

    Most of the wear and tear on my sample would dissappear with a quick wipe as you said. Only damage bad enough to affect the aluminum itself has caused problems

    Viking Pro V3 durability

    So let me start off by saying i bought my light like everyone else and my budget is pretty tight aswell. Ive had my new viking for a few weeks now and decided i wanted to test out the durability that they supposedly have. I dont have pictures of my testing process as it was done this morning...

    Custom Lanyard for Olight S1 Baton

    Ive used the inner yarns of the cord to thread through the eye on the tailcap and tie to a paracord loop with a cinch on it. Usually i do 2 inner yarns as a break away. One longer than the other so a sharp tug breaks the first one, but the second one holds so you dont lose your light from doing...

    I was just told by Sandra@Armytek that this is normal behaviour of the light as its engaging the protection circuit of my battery momentarily. Im sure we can all see that it is directly linked to the release of the switch (on the activation stroke) that is causing this flicker as i deliberately...

    Just recieved my viking pro v3 and all seems good in terms of fit and finish, though my tailcap spring is a bit sharp and has been scoring my batteries. Im seeing the occasional flicker upon activation in a head tight state. Just wondering if this is normal or a defect?

    i believe elzetta has video demonstrations of a flashlight assembled underwater and operating due to the potted electronics. I was only wondering if armytek's design would give similar results Edit: thanks for the response ArmyTek!

    thanks for the response. although my question is more IF water makes its way into the tube, will the potting in the head protect the electronics? basically is the head itself a waterproof unit without the tube and tailcap assembly?

    Viking / Viking Pro. Tactical lights.

    Looking to purchase a new VP V3 but having a hard time finding any reviews or beamshots. It seems its now similiar to the PP V2.5 in its 5 degree hot spot but im a bit cautious in believing its internet specs. (can any owners provide feedback?) also im wondering how effective the potting is in...
