Armytek Wizard Pro "Nichia" more GREENISH than CREE (?!)

Other Types of Lights LED Headlamps

Concerning the tint, it depends how ArmyTek is ordering LEDs because within 5 step MacAdam Ellipse, it could make a great difference and a part of the reel may end above BBL.
Concerning “dirt”, I saw way worst dark spots size and quantity, depending on the quality of the mold of the LED dome and the mold of the TIR lens. LED dome with tiny bubbles might worsen the phenomenon but it is quite normal and doesn’t affect the beam quality.

I understand that you are not satisfied with the green tint but with some major manufacturers (nitecore, JetBeam, etc) there is absolutely no guarantee. It’s fine to report this kind of problem but no needs to chase “normal” imperfections to make things worse that it needs to be. In French we say “qui veut tuer son chien, l’accuse de la rage” = “If you want to kill your dog, accuse him of having rabies”. :wink:

I do hope for you that the seller has some sort of 100% satisfaction guaranteed return policy.

There are many other legitimate reasons to kill dogs. I’am looking for perfection or at least, improvement.

I let Armytek learn about this issues, in order to improve their control quality. I trust Maukka’s review and Clemence’s observations too. There sample should have a good tint.

- My sample has a bad tint + a dirty TIR (or dust on led surface) I send it back according to their 30 days return policy.

Je aimer parler francais parfois aussi. :+1:

Modifications done by Clemence are always done with great care so if you’re looking for tint and CRI improvements, maybe he would willing to mod yours if the driver is compatible and your model easy to open : [MOD] Armytek Wizard Pro XHP50 to 4x Nichia E21A
Or an alternative that I hope will be available in his shop soon (after the Group Buy) : Nichia E17A/E21A Skilhunt H04RC Group Buy

I’m lazy and short enough on free time that slapping some minus green and/or DC Fix on the lens of lights that don’t do it for me tint-wise has worked out perfectly.

You can spend time, effort and money “chasing the dragon”… but the solution is only as far away as the shipping time for a roll of Zircon or Lee filter sheet.
