I ordered the Pro model of each last week. I sure hope it's not the same disaster as the Wizard Pro from last year.

just arrived today, what was the "disaster" last year? I have the wizard pro, no issues.
What do you guys think of them so far?
Also, did they change anything about the switch feel since the Wizard Pro? I have a WP – I like it a lot overall but the switch button (the clicky itself, not the silicone cover) is too small and requires a touch more force than I'd like.
Beacon of Light:
The online pdf instructions -page 2 - show that the battery check is part of the strobe modes. They are accessed by turning the light on and then pressing the switch 4 times quickly. The two strobe modes are then sorted through by pressing and holding the switch.
It may be necessary to program the light for the battery type first - as per page one instructions (under Initial Service).
It's too bad you didn't get the extra tailcap. I did notice that the magnetic tailcap has a slot that looks like it is meant for a coin (to remove the magnet). I did try this however was reluctant to put a lot of force on it and it did not come apart.
I've noticed that my light gives the proper voltage with two newer duraloops however does not with an old and tired eneloop (in this case it shows 1.8 volts for the battery when it is 1.2+ volts on my multimeter).

Chas:
I bought mine directly from Armytek - wonder if that has anything to do with the two tailcaps?
Have you tried it with a 14500? I'm waiting to get a couple that are on order. As far as I know only the highest mode is different than with an aa battery - should be interesting to see.
