There’s pretty much zero shift, nice!įor spectral information and CRI calculations I use an X-rite i1Pro spectrophotometer with HCFR, Babelcolor CT&A and ArgyllCMS spotread for the graphs and data.
Tint in different parts of the beam with the corresponding duv values (distance from a neutral black body radiator, positive number means green/yellow tint, negative rosy/magenta/pink). In reality it’s not very bad without a reference, since the tint doesn’t change from the center to the edge, see below. As is usually the case there’s some shift when the current is increased. Next to the truly neutral Zebralight H600Fd, the Armytek does look a bit cool, but all of this depends on the ambient light and the conditions your eyes have accustomed.
Reportedly the warm white Wizard Pro is truly warm so there’s a neutral 4500-5000 K option missing. The tint is slightly biased towards green, but the difference is not really noticeable without a side by side comparison. The white Wizard Pro is just a tiny bit warmer than a cool white light. There is no artifacts and practically no color shift, which is ideal. Thanks to the diffusing TIR optics, the beam is smooth and floody even with the multiemitter XHP50. I’ll post some outdoor beamshot comparisons as soon as possible. The Wizard Pro is the biggest headlamp I have tested.įinnish summer is here and it pretty much never gets dark. When topped off in a SkyRC MC3000 the cell received 319 mAh and 108 mAh more capacity.ġ8650 battery, Olight H1R Nova, Olight H2R Nova, Armytek Wizard Pro v3, Skilhunt H03, Zebralight H600Fd Mk3 The first test was done straight from the box, the second one much later. After charging I measured the voltage at 4.09 and 4.13 volts. I would like something a bit faster, but if you usually charge yours overnight this is fine. The LG MH1 is rated for 10 A discharge.Ĭharging with the integrated USB charger takes a bit over 7 hours with 0.7 amps drawn from the usb power supply. The battery is not a high discharge one, but quite enough for the Wizard Pro. When the battery voltage gets low, the flashes are yellow ( runtime is the same.

The color of the flash will indicate if the battery is almost full (green) or under 75% (yellow). By default this behavior is disabled on firefly modes, but can be enabled. The button light will flash every five seconds while the light is on. The output will increase again if the light is cooled down as long as the battery is still up to the task. Three yellow flashes in succession every two seconds means that the light is running warm, three red flashes repeated every second means it is getting too hot (60☌ claimed, 70☌ tested) and will lower the output to protect the emitter and battery. Double and triple clicks are no problem unlike on some mushy switches. The button is excellent and has a distinct click to it. I didn’t try and fry my sample with two 16340/18350s. However, according to Armytek’s specifications there’s no support for two lithium ion batteries. The switch and UI is identical to the Armytek Prime C2 Pro so most of this paragraph is just copy-paste. The Wizard Pro is controlled by a backlit electronic switch. The light is packaged in a colorful retail box, which shows the light through some plastic.
