Armtek Wizard Pro xhp50 2300 lumens!

some one please hurry up and do a review this light is awsome it should be able to keep my balding head warm when I am fishing at night lol. I would be guessing on turbo run time would be like 20 mins.

I will do a review as soon as I get mine and compare it to other 2,000lm lights and 1,000lm headlamps. Should be getting it wednesday next week.

BTW I just saw M4D M4X has a even better price for the Wizard V3… I wish I knew when I ordered mine: https://m4dm4x.com/2016/05/12/armytek-wizard-pro-v3-xhp50

WOW - that is a very good price!

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one. My first purchase through HKE, I assume they are A1 to deal with? M4DM4X seems to be pretty well trusted on here?

Does anyone know the color temps or tints used in these? My ideal tint is 5A , or 5B or somewhere between 4K to 5K.

My armytek wizard pro V1 warm white to too warm. I think its a 7bin around 3K, which is too warm for me.

I wish armytek would post these specs.

I got a great discounted price from illumn.com. Can’t say what the price is, but it’s awesome.

Here’s the link

I ordered mine from illumn.com for an incredible price with free shipping in the USA. I should have it in a few days.

I just received an reply from Armytek asking this very question.

Dear Robert.

Cool White - 5500-6000K
Neutral White - 4500K.

Thanks for posting that.

Calvin at illumn said he guesses its between 3-4K for the Wizard PRO XHP50 Warm model.

So Im not sure what to think. Maybe I’ll just wait for some beam shots.

I took a quick beamshot, color balance may be a bit off, but you can get a relative gauge.

Looks great Calvin,thanks for that. I just want to be sure but reading some threads you need to use an IMR or a 10 amp capable protected battery right?

For getting the max brightness out of the Turbo2 yes, I’ve used 18650 Protected Keeppower 2600mAh Samsung 26Fs without tripping the protection circuit. If you have any decent battery I’m sure you’ll be fine. The issue is when people use lower quality protected batteries and it trips the circuit.

Thanks Calvin for posting those beamshots. That picture really clears up the missing spec that Armytek left out.

Just got my Wizard Pro V3 a couple minutes ago…

First impressions:
-Fantastic build quality
-Slightly HA mismatch, head color is lighter than the body, not a big deal
-It produces a nice large, smooth spot with no visible artifacts.
-My CW doesn’t seem CW at all, it is about 5000K in the lower modes and 5500K in the highest mode. Compared to a XPL HI V2 1A it looks almost warm. It does say “white light” in the head so I guess they sent me the correct version? Edit: after comparing it to some other tints, I’ll have to say it has some green to it. :cry:
-Does it feel like a 2,300lm light? YES :slight_smile: but the lux reading might tell otherwise

And the most important question… amp draw? (with near-full 30Q)
-Turbo 1: 1.95A
-Turbo 2: 5.6A

Since I no longer have other headlamps to compare this with, I don’t plan to do a review. But will provide more data including a run time chart.

Tint comparison vs Mecarmy PT16, shined on a white paper on similar brightness:

Anyone bothered by the state indicator (blinking button)? It can be turned off, but only when the light is off or on in the firefly group. It remains on in the Main and turbo group no matter what. I wish it could be turned off in those groups as well.

Nah. The Skilhunt H15 has that also. I have gotten accustomed to it.

The Ui is what I need ot try and get familiar with :)

For those that have this light, does the light turn on and off with a single click? Can the highest mode be memorized? I don’t really quite understand the ui when looking at manual. And none of the videos on YouTube is showing it.

Yes, it does turn off with a single click. I am still getting familiar with the UI but I think it does have memory for the highest mode.

Does it require you to hold switch to turn on? How do you change modes if single click to turn off…. Hold down switch?

Does it come pre-programmed for 18650’s or 2 CR123a’s?
