Armytek wizard pro vs zebralight driver#

I think some of their other models didn't measure that close to rating but I'll check later. I'm surprised Armytek's ratings are so honest with the Wizards. Zebralight H600fc MKIV - 1398 lm vs 1568 lm (89% of rating) Here is a comparison of the measured output vs rated max output:Īrmytek Wizard Pro WW - 1521 lm vs 1675 lm (91% of rating)Īrmytek Wizard Pro Nichia 144A 90CRI - 1388 lm vs 1400 lm (99% of rating)Īrmytek Wizard Pro v3 XP-L WW (white button) - 954 lm vs 930 lm (103% of rating)Īrmytek Wizard Pro v3 XP-L WW (yellow button) magnet usb - 1010 lm vs 930 lm (109% of rating) The units were bought from, which originally indicated shipping from China but they later changed it to shipping from Canada I guess because of either CNY or the novelcorona virus.

Armytek wizard pro vs zebralight driver#

I haven't tested whether these units have LVP or retain driver problems reported in reviews of the prototype.

Both Nichia units I bought have similar tint but one is 50 lumens brighter than the other. The Wizard Pro Nichia 144A is nice too but after side by side comparison with the Pro WW 80CRI, I find that I like the 4000k more. The Wizards do look a lot better aesthetically though IMO. It lacks usb recharge and doesn't have a tail magnet like the Wizard Pros but the small size makes it so easy to pocket. The tint could have been rosier but with Zebralight, and even Armytek to a certain extent, its a tint lottery and I'm glad at least this unit is on the BBL and not above when on max output. The tint is actually not overly green unlike past Zebralights that I had to return. I also like the ZL H600fc very much mainly for its super small size and supposedly better thermal regulation than most flashlights. This unit was bought from and shipped from Canada. The Wizard Pro WW also happens to be my favorite headlamp from the above because the CCT and tint looks the best and I find that more important than a 10 CRI difference. Now I'm wondering if it is still an XHP50 or is it now an XHP50.2. Nowhere on Armytek's website did they mention anything about an 80CRI emitter. In the past it is said to use a 3500K 70CRI emitter. Armytek Wizard Pro Nichia 144A 90CRI 2nd UnitĪrmytek very sneakily upgraded the Wizard Pro WW to a 4000k 80CRI emitter, which of course is to my delightful surprise.
