#ARMYTEK WIZARD PRO V3 XHP50 REVIEW MANUAL#
The entire 3rd page of the manual covers how this light operates.
If you are new to ArmyTek like I was there is a bit of study needed. If you are familiar with other recent ArmyTek lights then the interface is the same as those. Run times range from 40 Days on Firefly 1 to 1 hour on Turbo 2 (if proper cooling is supplied). Range of brightness is anywhere from 0.15 lumens on firefly 1 to 1800 Lumens on Turbo. ArmyTek lists it as having a 70 degree hot spot and a 120 degree spill. This one is the white variant and it’s fairly neutral but not warm. This light uses a Cree XHP50 and combined with its diffused TIR style glass lens it’s primarily a flood. It’s larger white letter on the black body do stand out. It has labeling on top, on the side, and around the tail. I prefer a flashlight with minimal labeling and this one doesn’t get my stamp of approval in that regard. This light is a little aggressive on the labeling in my opinion. I think that’s the purpose of this dual oring is to provide water and dust resistance even when the tail cap isn’t 100% screwed on like if charging or in manual lockout. Then at the bottom the transition between the body and tail cap also collects a good amount of dust/dirt around the first oring, the good news is it doesn’t get beyond this point. Up near the head there are several sharped cooling fins, and between these they attract a good amount of dust and lint. The design of this light has a few aggressively shaped areas that I find attract more dust and pocket lint than normal. Most of these rub off with a little water. I keep my phone and light in the same pocket usually, and have noticed it seems like I have more wear on the coating then normal, some paint seems to wear off my phone case and transfer to the body of the light. The one bad thing about this coating is that it does show scratches and abrasions worse than normal anodized aluminum.
It’s a finish I have not seen on any other flashlights. This light is coated in a mat black finish that is slightly grippy. The button is translucent and has a multicolored LED underneath that it uses to display information such as heat, mode, etc. However it’s a firm press and has not been an issue other than the one time I was laying directly on it. When I first got the light I was worried that the button on the side of the light would be a problem due to how it sticks out of the light. Here is a picture where I lined up several similarly sized lights so you could see the size. Weight wise without batteries they are 2.85oz for the Wizard and the Olight H2R is 2.22oz. With the more square head it’s slightly larger in the pocket. Size wise this is almost identical in length to the Olight H2R, and it’s very similar in diameter too. A light like this is useful for strapping onto your chest, or straps on a backpack or tent. Not only will it tail stand but it will stand on it’s head or on either of the sides. Headlamps are useful not only as a headlamp, but in this case as an EDC, when repairing cars and around the house hold. Comment down below and let me know what you think of this light. Both are headlamps of very similar size, using the same LED and similar battery sizes. During this review I will be comparing the ArmyTek Wizard Pro V3 with my recently reviewed Olight H2R.
I am glad that ArmyTek sent me one for review so I could experience why it’s one of the most recommended brands out there. Flashlight enthusiasts on the internet, especially on reddit are quick to recommend the ArmyTek Wizard line of right angled lights and headlamps for a variety of uses. This is my first ArmyTek light and after having it a few weeks and using it frequently, I don’t think it will be my only one for too long.
