Why This Is My #1 Tactical Flashlight! Armytek Predator Pro

1 Thank

Old generation was far better.

What was the difference? I probably wasn’t collecting them back then.

I have it, love it. Highly underrated.

It was fully regulated. Max mode until cell depleted. Lack of charging tit is also plus.

They will release a predator pro max version this year. It’s in their 2024 catalogue

Interesting. Maybe the max mode was lower output as the turbo mode on this one makes the light very hot.

I’ve seen several people on YouTube and various reviews online talk about it these lights going out after a relatively low height drop.

That has been a big red flag for me for this brand.

Plus I’ve seen several reviews showing a lot lower output than claimed

Have you drop tested any of your armytec lights have you had any reliability issues?

First gen of predators failed reliably with at least 80% rate. drivers failed. same thing happened to skilhunt h02 first gen, same story, drivers failed, On fonarevka.ru people used to buy dead predators, and rebuild them, they say in both armytec and skilhunt, solder joints failed. However later both brands improved, and it was no longer an issue, if not 100% eliminated at least not nearly as common anymore,

What’s a charging tit? Think you may be on the wrong forum

Charging nipple :slight_smile:

Could you please point me to some threads about that? I dug fonarevka for a while, but I couldn’t find it.

Ah. Nice nipple. That’s a terrible idea

The “nipple” is very nice to use, though! But can be easily activated by accident.

The Partner C2 tailcap is compatible and can be used instead. It has the same internal circuit, but is even slightly recessed.

Can it stand on that nipple?

What do you mean very nice to use? What use does it have other than trying to be different than olights Already existing, and superior design. Seeing that it can be used to stick to things, and it’s flat so it can tail stand. Is it supposed to be a glass breaker or something?

No, why? It’s a thrower. You want to shine it into the sky?

It is the switch. You use it to turn the flashlight on and off.

Ah ok. Didn’t realize it was the switch. I guess I can see it then. I still think it would be better flush, but I can definitely see the reasoning behind it. Thanks.

You like built in charging, this is the best implementation of it.

When does the Predator Pro Supermax Ultra Plus come out?
