![]() However, due to the setup in the cell tube, any type 18650 will work. What’s included is a flat top unprotected cell. The Wizard Pro is powered by a single 18650, and the appropriate type is included. It’s a friction fit deep carry steel clip, which attaches in either of the places the headband clips. The manual calls it a “handband.” I suppose it’s a way to carry the light strapped around your hand – but I’d imagine it more as an armband. To be honest I’m not sure what this guy is. (For that matter, it’s easy to unscrew the tailcap even while the light is in the band, too.) It’s easy to get in and out, and there’s no fussing with slipping the light into some silicone rings.Īlso, the charge cable work easily while the light is connected. This is a well documented “nice connection,” but is in fact my first experience with it. It snaps into the grabbers, and then a rubber o-ring is pulled over it to secure it in place. The attachment for the light is quite novel. Total package when running as headlamp is 152g. The headband has some grippy forehead area, too. That’s going to be a downside for some, but I like headlamps like this. This over the top strap is not removable. The band is comfortable, and has an over-the-top strap, too. The Wizard Pro Nichia Warm is primarily a headlamp, and the Armytek branded headband is going to be the way to use it as a headlamp. The cell has PLENTY of room in the cell tube.ġ08mm long, 24.5mm in body diameter, 29mm in head diameter. The head end has only a button – no spring. this light can be mechanically locked out with just a small twist. However, unlike most unanodized threads…. The threads on the body are unanodized, square cut, and quite long – so a bunch of twisting is required in order to remove the cap.Īlso since these are bare threads, they don’t feel quite as smooth as I might like. The tailcap must be twisted for charging. The Wizard Pro Nichia Warm has Armytek’s signature extreme levels of printing. More on this in the charging and retention sections. The tail end has the magnetic charge connector. The body is more or less featureless, due to this being a headlamp going to live on a headband most of its life. The optic covering this emitter is dimpled, and not just that – there’s also a nice anti-reflective coating on there. Also note how the fins extend past the bezel – this will come up later. There’s a good amount of cooling area below the head – more than just fins there’s quite a bit of mass there. But this light is not so much so, and isn’t an annoying amount of chalky at all. One thing I’ve noted extensively about Armytek lights is the anodizing – it’s chalky. The Wizard Pro Nichia Warm has Armytek’s typical build quality. The manual is a very long paper, available in 8 languages. Charge cable (USB to proprietary magnetic).Armytek Wizard Pro Nichia Warm Headlamp.I test output and such in PVC tubes!!

Unfortunately there is no LVP (possibly I have a QC issue, because Wizard Pros have had LVP in the past). It’s a worthwhile consideration for these things. Most importantly the Nichia 144A excels, and it’s worth the hype. This is specifically a Limited Edition (says so right there on the box) so I’d really expect it to be more than 80 flat.īuild quality is good. ![]() No official statement on price for these, but the other similar options are $80. There are plenty of options here, and certainly one that would suit your headlamp needs. Wizard Pro Magnet USB, Wizard Pro Magnet USB Warm, Wizard Magnet USB, Wizard Magnet USB Warm – each of those has subdivisions, too. But as far as Wizards and Wizard Pros go, there are many. Since this is a special light there really aren’t any other versions. This product isn’t released yet, and I can’t find it on their site, either! Here’s the Wizard main page though – it should show up there after release. Random Comparisons and Competitive Options….Tint vs BLF-348 (Killzone 219b version).It’s aptly named the Wizard Pro Nichia Warm, and here is my testing of it! Armytek has made an official Wizard Pro with Nichia 144A. Armytek listened. This light is the end result of that effort. Along the way Zak from zakreviews got his hands on one, and realized how much more awesome it would be with a Nichia 144a. The Armytek Wizard Pro has been a staple of flashlight suggestion lists for quite some time.
