Armytek has a promotion going on that may or may not be expired where you have to ask for it on their Instagram or Facebook page. I don’t do those so I contacted them through their website and they sent me a link to a white one that does not clearly mention white or warm or cool or NW . The takeaway is, pay attention. It looks like the normal price will be 80 and the promotion price is 64 plus 10 bucks shipping to US and 25 to Canada, don’t know on the rest of the world.
The headlamp itself is white???
No I was referencing the way armytek sometimes refers to the color as either “white” or “warm”. Then in other places they do refer to model choices as cool white or warm white. Even though their warm is not really warm. And you’ll see some retailers reference armytek “warm” as NW. So the link they sent me for the promo code was for a cool white even though it did not specify that. There was no option for a warm. I believe with the nichia they reference neutral and warm but there’s only one model. So the point is you have to pay attention.
I have a wizard pro v3. Is the button on the new C2 different than the v3?
My v3’s button occasionally thinks a single click is a double click. Not often, but a couple times a month. I’ve heard other people experience the same thing with the V3 button.
Their “White” color temp option is usually about 5500-5700K. If it’s any lower CCT than that it will be listed as “warm white” based on all the lights they’ve done for years.
I can appreciate that when they started 10+ years ago almost everything was cool white. And labeling anything that wasn’t cool as warm to differentiate was useful at the time. It seems to me that they and everybody else is aware of the difference between warm, neutral, and cool. Although the neutral middle ground is not 100% defined. But I do take issue with them trying to sell me a cool white without specifying what it was. I’m sure that some people bought it not knowing that a warm,NW was available or will be.
Totally agree, it’s just the format they’ve seemed to stick with. Calling the 4500K Nichia Wizard “warm white” really made little sense to me either.
i, mildly say, not fan of Armytec, but pic is awesome, bardzo dobje!
Any tint comparisons between this and the Wizard Nichia? Very tempted to add another to my collection. Does the v4 charger work on v3/nichia lights as well?
Here’s a little comparison. Below is the original photo taken in manual mode using LG G6 smartpgone. Flashlights set in turbo 1 mode.
As some of you know, taking pictures of flashlights with a higher color rendering index is tricky. The light in the photos appears to be rosier than it actually is. Modding my wizard v3, I trusted what I saw in the pictures taken by Clemence, this is why I have chosen the E21A 4000K LEDs. As it turned out later, these LEDs have a pink shade only in turbo 2. They are awful green in medium modes. Not wanting to confuse you, I have edited the photo using GIMP to make it look like what my eyes see.
Wizard Nichia seems to be perfectly white. It is possible that Duv is slightly negative (–0.0005 more or less).
The color of the E21A 4000K in this mode is quite pleasing to the eye. Duv close to zero.
v4 C2 PRO warm is a little bit colder than E21As. The color is clearly pink (–0.0040 or even less).
I am looking forward to Maukka’s accurate measurements.
Thanks for the detailed pictures. The pink doesn’t look terrible and better pink than green I suppose. Wondering why Armytek hasn’t made any official announcements yet. Hopefully they’ll have some sort of sale going on later this month
That V4 tint looks sweet. That’s how my Olight H2R pro NW looks
The Armytek Wizard C2 Pro is now listed on armytek.com
https://www.armytek.com/flashlights/models/wizard/armytek-wizard-c2-pro-magnet-usb/
Code “BLF35” takes 20% off instead of 35%.
The user manual lists a Nichia C4 with 1400 OTF lumen as the “warm” version.
User manual:

The user manual and the websites conflict each other.
I’m thinking there’s white, warm and nichia warm options and Nichia option might release later?
Yeah a version with 144A will probably launch later, like the current Nichia Wizard V3 but with the C2/V4’s updates. Manual was likely just written ahead of time and will be used for the whole line.
I think they gonna update old Wizard v3 PRO Nichia to new v4 C2 PRO by changing the body. Nichia doesn’t have turbo 3 so the driver must be form v3.
Yes :sunglasses:
I ordered 3 Wizard C2 Pro XHP50.2 White ; one is for me and two are for friends. I will received all of them next week ( QC Canada ).
I am using the Wizard Pro XHP50 White for more than four years now, I began with the Wizard USB XP-L five years ago.
The code “BLF35” is not working for me. Is it still valid or am I missing something?
Any chance of a group buy? I want to buy 2 but the $35 shipping to SA on top of the $80 is a bit much…
