Just received the new Armytek Prime C2. Build quality is fabulous, very compact and sleek. Comes with clip and O rings and sheath but it did not come with an operation manual so Im flying solo figuring it out (discovered Armytek had the download available later). Emitter is the XM-L2 U2 "White Light". Runs on 1x18650 or 2x123's. Reads "Brightest for City" on the side of the unit lol. Fooling around with it I've discovered 6 modes total, 2 lines of operation, modes operate as follows. From off: single press to turn on, hold to cycle through modes low-med-high. From off, hold down for firefly 1-2, continue holding to cycle all 6 modes, release to choose mode. For turbo or max double click button while in the on position from any setting.
Armytek specifies output and runtimes as follows:
firefly #1 .2LM 100days
firefly #2 2LM 18days
low 35LM 48hrs
med 200LM 9hr
high 420LM 4.8hrs
Turbo 1050LM 1.5hrs
The beam pattern is floody with a polished reflector and shallow emitter depth. The light is almost the same size as the Wizard and I can see that the design is basically a slightly elongated Wizard with a forward bezel instead of an angled unit. No special modes but the pro version does offer them and adds a magnetic tail cap and battery level indicator within the mode button. The clip is really tight and not the best fit but once its on it holds very tight. I will continue using it and relay any updates. Sorry for the lack of pics but im not sure how to load them if I can't upload from my phones gallery. Im a newby lol
A blizzard just moved in to my part of NM, and temps are dropping fast. Im going to take the three Armytek lights I received and leave them outside on my uncovered porch for the night and check them in the morning. I'll leave them all on their lowest setting. Temps should reach down around the lowest recommended operating temp of -25c.
