Great and thorough review as usual. Speaking of tactical lights, have you had the opportunity to try the Weltool T17? It seems to have very good features but unfortunately there are almost no reviews on KZbin.

Thank you mate. I've struggled to get review units from Weltool, I suspect they produce their lights in small batches. I'll keep an eye out for that model. I have the T2 which is an impressive thrower. But the TAC version is better and don't see why they didn't just release that version only.

Love the Armytek lights. Have been carrying the partner C2 V4 a lot lately. It's a really nice compact 18650, very similar in size and form factor to the Olight warrior mini 2. Has a really nice beam profile to my eye, a good tight hotspot with a wide spill of decent intensity in the warm white.

Awesome. How long have you had it for? Armytek sound confident about the long term durability of their lights. I don't drop test these 😅

Only had the V4 version for about 3 months, but have had a couple of the older v3 versions for a long time now, probably getting on for 10 years and have been some of my favourite EDC lights. Never had any problems with them even though they have had some pretty hard use and a couple of drops from decent heights when I've been working on ladders, never seemed to bother them aside from a few small scratches and dings.

​@@rothxvii5181that's awesome to hear those older ones have held up so well. People on BLF were saying the older ones were built different too.
@rothxvii5181
@rothxvii5181 10 ай бұрын
The older ones had mechanical forward click switches, mode change was in the same style as the predator by loosening the head to access lower modes and they used a TIR optic that produced a wider flood like beam. The new model seems like it was inspired by the Olight warrior mini series with an electronic tail switch with integrated magnetic charging and a mode selection switch on the head of the light. The newer one also has a smooth reflector instead of a TIR and has a lot more throw compared to the old one. It's a nice update but a bit longer than the v3

Yeah I have the Dobermann Pro but the hotspot on the predator is way more intense. Yeah, and I don't see them have sales on very often.

They've covered all bases with this light, very well rounded. But I'm not sure if it runs on CR123 cells. Didn't say so in the manual but previous versions do apparently.

Looks like it has a lot of spill? AE has a sale right now. I'm thinking about this or Prime C2 pro max warm.
@DarrenYeoYT
@DarrenYeoYT 9 ай бұрын
Decent spill up ahead but not at your feet. It's a deep reflector so the the spill is reduced and stronger near the hotspot to illuminate around the target.

I got my predator pro today. Mine came in a cardboard box. Looks like it was opened already as there was a tear in the box. Did you know there's a problem turning it on with wet gloves? It won't turn on if gloves are wet or damp.
