Many do as well though some may find it a bit complicated. I ended the test at 6 minutes when the whole light started to get too hot to hold yet still measured 605 lm. At 5 minutes, the whole light is starting to get warm but output remains strong at 635 lm. 3 Minutes in and the head starts to get hot, and body warm, output is still 645 lm. The light drops slightly from here on out as it starts to get warm around 2 minutes and measures 655 lm. Turbo 1 (lower): Turn-on output: 682 lm ANSI at 30 seconds is 671 lm. *I would like to add that this is not unusual for a light with the given properties, it's an HCRI emitter that is high output in a small package. The whole light is very hot at this point and it is where I ended my test. Thermal regulation kicks in strong just shy of 1 minute where the light drops to 345 lm. At 45 seconds the whole light is HOT, and it drops to 1,145 lm. Output immediately starts dropping to 1,187 lm ANSI at 30 seconds. Turbo 2 (highest): Turn-on output: 1,268 lm (1,400 lm claimed). Turbo 2 is only good for short bursts and is the only way to get any 'throw' out of this light. It manages roughly 1,187 ANSI lumens on turbo, but heats up VERY quickly and as such, steps down quickly too. Dare I say, even a bit rosy on turbo? Either way, it is a very very pleasant tint and beam.īeam properties are as you would expect a Wizard's to be- floody but nicely controlled without any annoying artifacts or imperfections.
The tint is about as true-neutral as I have ever seen a light come factory. Since this is the pièce de résistance,and many of you are familiar with the Wizard Pro, let's start here! The LED itself and the reason we have all been salivating or the thoughts of this- The Nichia 144A inside the Wizard is spec'd (as-per /u/Zak's request) at 4500K, and all my sampling finds this accurate, my 1DX in Lightroom measures 4500K on the nose. Props there to the above, anything that can get this hot needs to have some sort of mechanical lockout IMO. While we are breifly on the tailcap, I would like to point out that this light comes with BOTH o-rings installed on the body, something my Armyteks always come with, but also not something you typically see from other manufacturers. This means that the tailcap does mechanically lockout, and this is backed up in the manual. Only other white text is the on the tailcap indicating to loosen tailcap for charging, tighten for use. On the subject, the rest of the body markings are as minimal as I can ever see AT doing which includes three locations: Wizard branding on the front of the body, with Nichia / LED info on the opposite. Second? Well there's NO text on the the very nicely rounded head! WHAT?! I know, crazy right? There is much less white text on the light overall, big props to AT on that one. The Light: I do love Armytek's velvety anodizing, and right out of the box that is still my first impression. Packaging: Come a long way from basic cardboard boxes! It's very "Microsoft" in layout, a lot of info, not all warranted, some info that really shouldn't be there, but alas, I'm here for the flashlights! I recommend a Protected Sanyo NCRGA available from Illumn or Liionwholesale.
#WIZARD PRO NICHIA FULL#
Provided that the cell can handle a 7A continuous discharge, you should be fine to use all modes at full power. My recommendation for anyone who does purchase one, is to use a protected 18650 cell. NO Low Voltage Protection (LVP)! This is a big point, AFAIK all past Armytek lights have LVP, further inclusion of an unprotected cell with this light makes that choice all the worse. *Thermal management to maintain safe working temperatures of components.
#WIZARD PRO NICHIA DRIVER#
On-board USB charging via magnetic connectionĮfficient driver with excellent (but semi-complex) UI, including great moonlight mode and lows. 85% of claim.Ĥ500K, 90 CRI emitter (measured 4500K exactly) Versatile design means it's suitable for EDC, suitable as a headlamp, or both!ġ,400lm OTF max output claimed- 1,181 ANSI recorded on my end.
The Nichia 144A version throws a wonderfully tinted, high output and high-color rendering index beam. Especially with the modern built-in charging, it presents a lot of specs that many general users and enthusiasts alike enjoy.
#WIZARD PRO NICHIA SERIES#
The Armytek Wizard Pro series is popular choice for a right angle light/ headlamp.
