WowTac A4 "Thrower" // Full Review

Yea the “Technical support” Wowtac gets from ThruNite shows in a lot of the styling and very much so in the build quality of the lights that have came out so far from WowTac IMHO.

It kinda surprised me. Many flashlights look a like (copied) so this information is new to me. Thanks for the review!

Wow!
Another interesting light. Good price too. :+1:

Very nice review, as always! Looks to be a great budget friendly Thrunite/WOWTac! Love the full round knurled battery tube and cap! Got to have a look at the driver, bet it’s the same as the CatV6 easy to boost, I’ll find out soon…. ordering one! :+1:

Thanks Robo!

Thanks and your welcome Kawi.

I didn’t go for the driver just yet because the one on my sample is either well pressed in or glued. I wanted to use the A4 awhile before I take a chance on trying to remove and possibly ruining the stock driver and have to replace it……….lol

There is probably room for a slight increase on the driver. I am guessing from the tail amps , that the emitter is at around 1.8 amps or so as it came on mine.

Now shows up at $39.95
Tempting

Notice the box shows an A5 listed, what is that going to be?
26650 single version maybe?

Thanks for the great review!

Later,
Keith

Glad to do the review and thanks.

Yea I noticed today also the Amazon link has the A4 listed for the $39.95 , but I didn’t know if it was a typ-o or what.

Haven’t gotten any word on the A5 just yet , been hoping they will contact me soon about that one.

Interesting looking light. What do you think the LED colour temp is?

Mine is listed as CW but it is not as cool as many of the CW lights I have.

Just as a guess I would say around 5700K to maybe 6000K on the one I have.

Nice review, Thanks!

Thank you …. and always glad to do the reviews.

Cool light. I love the simple styling and how compact it is with its minimal tail cap and shallow reflector.

It looks like a very nice affordable light as is, but I’m tempted to put a sliced XHP70.2 and FET driver in it. :smiling_imp:

Thanks for the great review again. :+1:

It looks like a nice light,however[!],it would not be my preference over my Cat[vn] V6.

-I am not a fan of BTB 18650 set up. I have big hands and do not like the skinny tube.

- It does not come w/ a holster. To some that is not a big deal. My Husky CAPO is with me every night. I bring 2 or 3 lights each night.I do not have a free hand as it is! I do not consider this a pocketable torch! Holsters are a must.

It seems identical to the CAT V6 in output. Nothing wrong with the light in that aspect. I am sure people who buy it will enjoy it.

As usual it all comes down to preference and freedom of choice.

Great review thanks. Ordered one to gift.

Yea I have been thinking what I might do later on with this one. As Wolfdog mentioned the output and beam is almost identical to the Cat V6 (which I have also) so no telling what possibilities might lay ahead if or when I decide to mod the A4.

You are welcome Wolfdog and thanks also.

Yea I agree it will be a preference thing between the A4 and the V6. I am sure the V6 may have a little better following due to the shorter design and onboard charging though. If someone is looking mainly for run time then the A4 may win out on that point and the price , with it now listed for $39.95 on Amazon.

Glad to do the reviews and thank you.

On a side note. I hope your friend and your Aunt heal quickly. :smiley:

My Dad wad 82 when he got quintuple bypass surgery and he was 85 when he broke his hip! His heart actually healed better than his hip!

The hip got infected and it took almost 6 months to fully heal.

EDIT:

I forgot to ask.

Does the A4 have a step down? If so when?

……Thanks.

Thanks again.

Yea it gets harder and harder as we get older to get over things that took only a short time when we were younger.

Sorry!

Your efficiency was faster than my edit!
