news from armytek?? this viking x is gretest for outdoor? i want buy it or a trhunite tn11 or other super 18650 flashlight! waht you think about?

Hello,

The Viking is actually very good outdoors because of it's output and throw, however, if you are looking for throw with a more narrow beam, there are other lights from ArmyTek like the predator or Viking S that are also good options

Cheers

Great review Firelord!

Please may I ask a question regarding the UI?

Lets say I am walking along with the Viking on Medium 90 Lumen mode. I then wish to see further, so twist the head to line 1 max output. When I am done, if I loosen the head, will it go back to 90 Lumen medium mode?

Thanks Steve

 

[firelord777]

Yes Steve, that is correct

Cheers man

Yep, that is very true, almost like a nice neutral white tint

how is it they are able to do that on this xml u2 but some of my other xml u2s have a different tint color?

 

[firelord777]

Mmm, I'm not exactly sure, but I heard it has a lot to do with how it's made

Cheers

(uh, that was hard to read)

I think it is still a great light. But you have to pay attention as ArmyTek rebranded their lights. Now there is only a Viking and a Viking Pro Both are with XM-L2, the only difference is the driver. The Viking S is now called the Predator and the old Predator now is called Predator Pro.
