![]() ![]() Green Flashing: Cell voltage evaluation before charging There’s a red and green LED, and they can both be steady or blinking. Two indicators are built into the charging base. ![]() However, you won’t be able to use the light while charging. The charge connector is nice and flat, and the light will rest on it. It’s USB to proprietary magnetic, as seen below. ChargingĬharging on the Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Nichia is via a proprietary magnetic charge base.Ī charging adapter is included. When the light shuts off (as mentioned) at 2.6V, the switch does as well. ![]() After that, at around 2.8V the switch blinks red. Also, testing with the bench power, I can note that the switch blinks green down to around 3.2V, then begins indicating in yellow. In practice, the cutoff will likely be just a little higher (as we saw in the graphs), so this is acceptable low voltage protection. On bench power, the light has a hard shutoff at around 2.6V. I’m not sure how useful some of that information is specifically, but it’s nice that the driver is this capable. Red flash (3x in 1 second): Temperature is at a critical level, and brightness will be reduced Orange flashing switch (3x in 1 second): Temperature is at the warning level The indicating switch also serves as a temperature indicator, too. (Interestingly, I had to go to a third manual from Armytek to find that specific bit of information.) The indication is the same as above, with the addition of a Green blink, which indicates “<100%” battery. The switch also indicates the battery level in an off state. Red flashing switch (once per second): <10% battery level Main emitter flash 2x: ~<25% battery level Orange flashing switch (once per two seconds): ~<25% battery level Main3 (the third highest) is also very stable.ĭuring all these tests, the indicating switch indicated as follows: ![]() Turbo1 is very stable almost from the start, and notably a good bit higher than Turbo2 after its stepdown. Turbo2 (the highest mode) steps down fairly quickly and then is very stable. And of course, with the clip occupying one of the stubby arms from the headband mount, you can’t use them concurrently. complicated… to do in such a way that doesn’t bend something, or scratch something, or both bend and scratch something. Attaching the clip in this place, while still making it a deep carry clip, means that the shoulder to arms ratio is very long. This is a deep carry clip and fits right in the grooves that are in place for the headband connections (clever, yes). But I’m 82% sure it can be done non-destructively.Īrmytek also includes a pocket clip with the Wizard C2 Pro Nichia. It’s possible, yes, but it’s not something you’d do off and on. Alternatively, removing it involves reworking the whole headband. The “over the top” band isn’t really removable. You don’t have to keep up with it separately, and since it’s there you might as well be using it. Note that the o-ring lives on the headband. This alone is quite secure, and I’d call it “good enough.” I’d run the light this way without any qualms.īut when you just need to go to 11, you can be double secure with this thick o-ring that pulls over the light. First of all, the light clicks into those stubby arms. This is a very nice headband, most importantly in the light-connection area. This is a headlamp, so the primary means to carry the Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Nichia will of course be the headband. I reviewed the aluminum version of that light in both 35 and 70 formats.
