ARMYTEK OFFERS and PROMOTIONS

Received the correct product on the only two orders I ever placed…

I have many dozens of Armytek lights and ordered many times from them. Only once they sent me the wrong item but they were not willing to take responsibility for their mistake, which is what is worrying and shows low business ethics. Even the much smaller company Enogear/Fireflies sent me replacements when I had issues.

Wow. Thank you, Vinh and other people, for speaking up. Otherwise, I would have fell for this trap. I never have an Armytek before but probably will never will. This is what makes this community great.

Strange. I once got shipping refunded just because the shippment was late. In another two cases Armytek made a mistake with discounts and sold lights basically at manufacturing costs or below. Still, they fulfilled the orders. What has happened?

And I don’t think they even have an official Canadian retailer or distributor that can ship directly from Canada

Hi, please check this link Armytek Wizard Pro "Nichia" more GREENISH than CREE (?!)

This is what I received from Armytek China :

Mine looks like the XHP50 4000k:

I ordered the Nichia version not something that obviously looks like a Warm XHP50. I sent you an email, but didn’t get any answer yet.

Those 144’s aren’t as rosy as the 219b’s. That is pretty much what the only light I have in 144 looks like. I don’t like it either. It’s not an Armytek though. If you are use to those rosy 219b’s then nothing will really replace that. I like the 219c’s better but, that’s just a preference thing of course.

Got lots of Armytek lights. Never had a problem with shipping, the product or customer service. I get a phone call from them probably once every few months offering me a discount code. Very nice lady thanking me for my business. Never had any other flashlight company call me, not that I was really expecting one.

Hope they get your problems resolved for you.

I did not order the Wizard Nichia to get a 219b pinkish tint replica. I ordered it because of customers reviews showing a good 4500k tint which isn’t greenish at all.

To be “not as rosy as”, and to be “obviously greenish”, is totally different thing. I just want them to exchange it. My 219C 90CRI looks like a 219b compared to that Wizard Nichia. It doesn’t make sense. Even Hank said his batch of 219C 5000K 80CRI has a better tint (less greenish than the 219C 5000K 90CRI… ) So, if my 219C 90CRI looks even better than this Armytek, there is something wrong.

Or the new batch has a downgraded bin R8000 (80CRI) or they really drop a XHP50 neutral instead…

Take a magnifying glass and look at the microlenses. The XHP50 projects a cross onto each of the lenses.

XHP50 Wiz

XP-L Tiara

This is a great way to check. On my Nichia,in moonlight mode, the cross is visible on the microlenses, but much more faint, and cross looks yellow as opposed to black in the xhp50 photo above. Problem is that photo above is first gen xhp50. If Armytek started using second gen xhp50, it will look similar to the Nichia but it’s a good starting point.

My wizard looks noticeably less green than my Nichia 219c….

Of course, I forgot the Nichia is actually a 2 by 2 matrix. Good they still can be differentiated. Thanks Pavlo!

The 50.2 was used before in 3V. They made a silent update the the 6V XHP50. Also didn’t know there’s a new LED again.

The what?

Autocorrection is a funny game for the whole family.

Oh, I thought it was intentional, and I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

Since it was an accident, that is kinda funny!

Oh my! Autocorrect fail! Corrected my post, good catch!

Armytek > I am not satisfy with this light because LED tint doesn’t correspond to description (you send selected bin to your float of reviewers, mine has a totally different tint)

Are you going to respect your POLICY or the overcharged shipment fees are part of your discouraging trick to avoid refund to your customers ?

Based on your pictures in the other thread I think you’ve got roughly a 4500K tint. Baseless claims about what they send to other people are out of line.

I follow your advise to check the led. It is a quad, yes. But not only that the tint is horrible, the dome seems to be really dirty (lots of particles/dust on the surface of the led)

We can easely see the green zone all over the center ! Even your XHP50 looks better. I just came back from forest to test that Wizard Nichia and any of my 219C have a better tint!
Immagine that > my 219C 5700k looks much more better than this Wizard Nichia. I cannot keep that light, I really tried to like it but even my neon tube 70CRI looks more pleasant than that :

Looks like how Pavlo described the Nichia quad. So, you just lost the tint lottery, as they say.

That’s unusual. AT usually seeks to give their lights a consistent tint. Typically yellowish for the warm light editions.

Why my sample looks so dirty?? Is it dust on the dome or inside the reflector? The picture from Unheard looks much more clear…

I got another picture that shows how green is it : side by side tint of a Mi desk led lamp (around 4000-4500k) and my new Wizard Nichia (back screen is white)

Quite obvious !

I don’t think Mi is using anything close to a 219b 45W 9080 in their desk lamp…
