For anyone who is interested, Andrew and Amanda are currently hosting a group buy on their website for the Armytek Predator Pro XHP-35.
scs; I don't currently own any Armytek lights but am interested in getting one. I've been looking at the Predator pro XP-L for a while and when I saw they were putting an XHP-35 emitter in it I am now even more interested. From reading everything I can about the co., it seems they make very durable highly rated lights but tend to exaggerate the specs on them. However,from reading yours' and other posts they appear to be lacking in the customer service dept. as well as quality control. There seems to be a bit of a gamble on getting a light that is built correctly. I also wonder why AA is stocking these lights before AT puts them on their website. Do you think these are a pre-production version of the PP XHP-35 that AT is using for beta testing? Because of your previous experiences, I would value any thoughts you have regarding this light.Curious why AA always seems to stock new AT lights, long before they even make it onto AT's own website. Hope the specs are less embellished this time around (the Predator Pro XP-L HI was originally advertised as putting out over 70k CD).

Update; Just called A&A and they claim that the Armytek website in Canada is just a vendor like themselves. They just have the domain name of AT. I was told their market in Canada is much smaller than the US. Apparently all AT products originate in China and A&A just got them first.

So Armytech is really a Chinese company?
I don't know but shipped a light to Canada and got one shipped back to me for warranty service from Canada. In any case I thought this thread was about the new predator flashlight. Also is that group buy still on.
