Armtek Wizard Pro xhp50 2300 lumens!

(15% off $99 for preorder until 4/5)

2300 lumens!!!

It appears in stock at Armitek https://www.armytek.com/products/flashlights/multi-flashlights/armytek-wizard-pro/armytek-wizard-pro-v3-xhp-50-white-silver.html

Nice looking light, but it must get hot.

Looks good, and dealing with AA as the middleman brings some peace of mind, since many people at CPF are reporting quality issues with armytek lights.

$85 after discount is a reasonable price… do I need another headlamp? :-/

I am curious to see if it actually puts out any were close to 2300 lumen - the previous wizards were quite nice, but the output was vastly over estimated

Still, even if it did 1400 lumen I would be happy.

Hmmm… a boost driver delivering 3a to the LED from a single cell in that little package? I wonder if they meant 3a at the tail?

Do you think it’s really 2300 lumens ¿

Hey what’s your favorite headlamp?

3A at the tail can’t produce 2300lumens… the new zebralights with XHP35 draw around 5A for1350 OTF lm. (different readings by several users)

I’m guessing it should draw at least 5A to even get glose to 2,000lm.

I was really waiting for the new gen ZL headlamps but after two failed units due to water ingress and their send-to-china warranty, I can’t trust ZL anymore.

Check out the ferrei headlamp pretty cool headlamp.

Does AA offer to replace defective Armytek lights even after the return period?
If not, do they offer to send them back for you?
Meanwhile, Armytek is not without their own QA and QC problems.
There’s also the issue of whether they send out pre-release units that are not as spec’ed to their dealers, and then tell customers to buy directly from Armytek to avoid pre-release units.

I guess their return policy has some kind of flexibility to it, as long as evidence of a defective light is provided… It’s one of the dealers which I have never heard anything negative from. This is the reason why folks over CPF now advise against ordering from armytek directly, unless you’re ready to deal with the “hassle-free” CS.

My point was it smells fishy. If it can produce that much light then great, and I will be surprised.

Hmmm, this is interesting. From A-A

LED light output: 2300lm
OTF light output: 0lm

Noticed that too, probably they are trying to tell us we will receive DOA lights :slight_smile:

Any tests of this light seen!?

Bump in this thread to see what any members think of this light if they have it…

I’ve thought about buying this, but most places have had trouble keeping it in stock. I no longer have the extra funds to buy it though… so I’d be curious what people would say. I saw people complaining somewhere about armytek not specifying it needed high drain batteries- when it does. I don’t know how anyone in their right mind, who spends any amount of time on a flashlight forum, would not think a 2000+ lumen single emitter, single cell light would require high drain batteries.

I ordered mine from massdrop, still waiting for shipment. First I wanted to order from Andrew Amanda but I missed the preorder discount.

Will sure post a review and numbers when I get it.

Anyone with more Armytek experience than me know what tint range their warm white tends to be? I like a 5+, but am not to sure how to read the XHP50 for warm tints… Also, no CRI numbers, so this leads me to think they are just a warmer tint with no CRI improvement, which is fine by me for the glare reduction from CW…
