    Throwy handheld with spill (18650)

    The new Armytek Viking is interesting. The XHP50 has a 10˚ hotspot and 80˚ spill which is twice the XP-L version and over twice the range of the wizard. But it's out of stock currently. The Predator is definitely a better thrower, but am concerned the hotspot would be too narrow and too narrow...

    Throwy handheld with spill (18650)

    Hi, I am looking for a (probably) single 18650 powered light. I currently have an Armytek Wizard pro that I use for most things and really like, but I would like a handheld light with some more throw. I don't want a spotlight, but something with a more diffuse hotspot with spill that will...

    18650 Battery and Charger Recommendation

    Thanks. Do you know how the new XP4 compares to the Intellicharger?

    18650 Battery and Charger Recommendation

    Hey, I was waiting for the Xtar XP4 to come out and it looks like it has. HKJ doesn't have a review on his site yet though, has anyone reviewed this? Searching looks like it might have problems with NiMH termination, though it may have been the person was charging at too low an amperage. I was...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    The H31 is a spot and spill, so the light is more concentrated. The Armytek is really floody, so it would take a lot more output to light up an entire area as bright as the H31 could light up its smaller area. I wouldn't be surprised if a 200lm spot light would be brighter in its area than an...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Re: New issue with Wizard Pro, 100% reproducible Agreed with the customer service to a point. I mean they sent the lights out early with all these defects and dealing with their email service is painfully slow, but the cpfm thread is very encouraging. I am surprised by how much they are with...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Re: New issue with Wizard Pro, 100% reproducible I gave this a try and the light shut off on the first bump. A new issue I didn't even know about.

    Re: Proposed New Armytek Wizard Pro UI: I just meant I'm within the 30 day return period, so they could refund me and send a new one. I'm not sure, their way seems like it would be weeks without a light. Thanks for the link too, those sound like great improvements and I would much rather wait...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Re: Proposed New Armytek Wizard Pro UI: How long is the estimate for you for shipping? I was told the same thing with a mix of fixing the light and receiving a new one. I'm still in the return period at least, and she would not send me a new light before I sent mine back, so I'll have to be...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Re: Thank goodness for the Interwebs This is their latest response about the stepdown and lockout: All runtime test by all manufacturers and reviewers are done in conditions of good air-cooling. That's why the numbers correspond such conditions. If you ride a bike, for...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    That's weird. I've always had the indicator light off and never used strobe mode and mine locks out. I'll have to play with the strobe and then turn the indicator light on and see if it still does it. Edit: With the indicator light off, I was able to replicate the lockout within 3 tries testing...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    I have never used the strobe modes and mine still locks up. The last response I got from their support was Tuesday night and I've replied with 3 emails since then. Their customer service is terribly slow, at best, and looking to be just terrible in general. Beyond that (and the stepping down...

    Armytek Wizard Pro Prototype Long-Term Testing

    Yeah, I have the same lockout issue too. I've been emailing them back and forth, but it's been 4 days since the last response. That is a weird lens problem too. I would definitely get that replaced.
