    Looking forward to new ArmyTek lights - Armytek order experience

    Regarding the usb flap, I believe Armytek has stated that the port itself is waterproof and the flap is just to keep debris out. Obviously you’d want to take care not to leave moisture in the port to rust. I also received my two orders yesterday and the day before. My new warm Wizard Pro USB is...

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    You're right, it's not. I've just learned to deal with Armytek's quirks (and awful communication) because I really like their lights. I own six of their lights, and not one is free from imperfections. Dust on the reflector, under the lens, inside the bezel, etc. My Partner has a scratched...

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    It may not be an intended behavior, but it is completely normal. My Dobermann, Viking, Predator, Barracuda, and Partner all do it. It's annoying, but nothing to worry about.

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    I have to agree with you on the 2.5 looking better. Wow. I love the look of that thing. I wish my current gen Armytek lights were styled like that.

    Collection Of Cutaway Display Maglite Flashlights/Torches

    This is amazing! I can't even begin to imagine how much work it took you to make these look so nice. Please keep us updated on your future projects.

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    Agree completely, rfl. Armytek is #1 on my list of favorite manufacturers. I have spent hundreds of dollars on their lights, and have been very satisfied. The communication on their part is frustrating at times, though. Things like being told by them, on this very forum, that the Dobermann Pro...

    Fenix TC 16

    Mine acted funky on the second day that I had it. It wouldn't stop strobing. I couldn't switch it on/off, it just kept strobing. I took the battery out and left it for a few days before getting around to requesting an RMA. Put another battery in it, and it was fine. I have no idea what that...

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    That's how mine is too, except my emitter is properly centered. There's just something weird about the way they made this light. Very tiny hotspot with a large corona. I'm not going to complain, though. It's very bright and throws pretty far. I will say that it's not a huge improvement over...

    Dobermann. Tactical lights

    Thank you, Armytek. I have no way to do my own measurements, but I'll take your word for it. I am very happy with my Dobermann Pro Limited Edition. It is a very bright light with excellent range for its size.

    Armytek Predator Pro LE and Doberman Pro LE Lux Readings

    I do feel that it's worth the extra cost, but I only paid $20 more than the Dobermann. I still see no reason to own both lights, though, unless you just really want them. I do feel that the price/performance/size ratio of the Dobermann Pro is very, very good. It's honestly not far behind the...

    Armytek Predator Pro LE and Doberman Pro LE Lux Readings

    Okay, so I got to spend some quality time tonight with my lights. I took my Predator Pro and Dobermann Pro limited editions, and my Viking Pro into some pitch black woods for a few hours. I don't have any measuring tools, but I can tell you that these are both very good lights. It's possible...

    What's the DIMMEST flashlight?

    Re: What\'s the DIMMEST flashlight? Really happy that I was able to help. The lowest setting on the ZL lights is surprisingly useful in a dark room with dark-adjusted eyes. I couldn't imagine a lower level being very useful.

    Armytek Predator Pro LE and Doberman Pro LE Lux Readings

    I really wish that we could get a proper output number for these lights. I'm really curious now.

    Armytek Predator Pro LE and Doberman Pro LE Lux Readings

    I can see how the bodies could be too short. I use unprotected cells, and I have to push the end cap in a bit before it starts to mate with the body. I've never put a protected cell in, but I see where it would get annoying. As for things like dust under the lens/reflector, I've just learned to...

    Armytek Predator Pro LE and Doberman Pro LE Lux Readings

    Similar beam profile, but the hot spot and throw are way higher on the DP, obviously. Anyways, I've had the DP for a couple of weeks now, and just got my PP yesterday. I feel like the OP's numbers are fairly accurate. The PP throws slightly further, and the hot spot doesn't seem that much more...
