Are there going to be any Wizard promotions with the fixed board? :slight_smile:

All bugs are fixed and some changes are made in the temperature indication:

when it increases to +60°C, the color LED shows the warning level once a second.
After +70°C the main LED flashes 5 times. After +75°C the light output decreases to Main4 mode (550lm).
Critical level >+80°C is color indicated twice a second and light output decreases to Firefly2 mode.

The new UI will be in version 1.5 which is being prepared for production and will be available after the current promotion which is till August, 18…

OMG, Armytek started using “next mode” drivers :open_mouth: end of the world is coming :ghost:
(skip to 5:34)

thats a shame... what a waste of a light...

Cool, I hope so soon! I had to buy a different headlamps while waiting, for a trip, but we’d still love to get a couple working driver models of the Wizard at a good price!

Next mode = will not buy under any circumstances.

I have yet to meet one person who likes next mode flashlights.

nothing that one small 100 ohm resistor can’t solve :stuck_out_tongue:

True, but I expect more out of a premium light.

for a $40 edc, i know i wouldnt want to take it apart to remove next mode memory. should never be there to begin with

So to clarify, this means that,

1. any wizard bought BEFORE the 18th will not come with the updated UI?

Question 2. after which date should we buy to guarantee we are getting UI 1.5

Question 3. are ALL warm versions manufactured with the Updated UI 1.5?

Question 4. Does the UI 1.5 also reduce the reported PWM flicker in moonlight?

thanks in advance for a response to this!

1. Yes, all Wizards with the new UI will be after the current promotion.
2. There are not exact terms yet. We will inform you here as soon as the Wizard headlamps will be updated.
3. The current warm version of Wizard is not with the updated UI 1.5
4. The updated version 1.5 will not have the reported PWM flicker in moonlight (firefly mode).

Look forward to the new UI. When, when, when J)

@ Armytek

At what time will "first generation" Wizard Pro's sent back for updating be flashed with the V1.5 firmware? Just wondering how long I need to wait. I'm not in a hurry.

Why does your site claim “Candian Manufacturer” when these light are made in China and shipped from China? Seems a little less than honest.

Where does it claim that? I see Canadian development and engineering, some American and Japanese electronic components, but nothing about where it's manufactured. That seems more honest than their closest competitor.

The flashlights are developed and engineered by Armytek Optoelectronics Inc., Canada. Made with USA and Japan electronics components.
All items are shipped from our storehouse in China.

If you are more attentive, you can see about this at our site http://www.armytek.com/support/payment-and-shipping.html

Thank you, leaftye!

Thank you very much for this succinct and quick response to my questions. More often than not questions are left unanswered.

look forward to the Wizard Pro.

(also going to try my luck again) Will switch pressure remain the same? and is there a way for it to be reduced for those without super finger strength. If this involves irreversible modifications, I am still interested :slight_smile:

I think this question has already been put forward but I don't believe there are any plans to change it. okwchin, you may find that the switch "softens" a little after some use - a couple of us in the CPF threads felt that it did.

It is also greatly affected by how you place your finger. Direct pressure downwards on the switch yields much better results than being even a little off-center. Try it with the tip of your index finger rather than the wider ball of the thumb for instance and I think you will see what I mean. It took me a few tries to realise just how much difference finger placement could make.

On the other hand, there was also speculation that there may be a variance between units. I don't really subscribe to this theory as I think Armytek's build quality would be pretty consistent, but I guess it may be possible. The problem is that it's a really subjective thing.
