The Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Max Magnet USB Rechargeable Pocket and Headlamp is a good example of how you can always think of an even better, more powerful flashlight. The manufacturer has thought so too, and has created the latest redesigned version of its flagship Wizard C2 Pro series. It's also a true multi-purpose light with brutal performance for field work, hiking, fishing, hunting, etc. Thanks to the head strap and easy-to-remove belt clip included in the basic package, the light can be attached to a myriad of locations on your body. Due to the flat base part, it can also be attached to horizontal surfaces, with its magnetic base it can also be attached to steel surfaces, leaving both hands free. In fact, the basic package (except olive and sand-coloured versions) includes an adapter for mounting on a bicycle.
The much larger Cree XP70.2 LED with a brightness of 4000 lumens provides maximum brightness to illuminate up to 114m, which doesn't seem particularly high compared to the previous model, but with this light, the aim wasn't just to maximise distance. Thanks to its 10 modes, the brightness can be changed in several modes with a single switch on the side of the lamp. Among other things, a self-protection strobe function is also available. Looking at the lamp's optics, it's easy to see what the huge 4000 lumen output was all about: the latest development of TIR system optics can provide a 110° spot light, while its huge 150° beam cone allows you to see the wider surroundings without the distracting "glare effect". The light is powered by a single standard 5000 mAh Li-ion 21700 battery, but can also be powered by an 18650 battery with the included adapter, although the lower capacity battery may reduce the light's output. The battery is charged using an accessory magnetic charging platform with a standard USB connector, which thanks to redesigned electronics is twice as fast as previous Wizard models.
The sturdy construction as well as the thoughtful design makes the lamp extremely durable: the material can withstand being dropped from up to 10 meters, according to the manufacturer. The highest IP68 level of dust and water protection guarantees that the lamp can withstand up to 2 hours under water at a depth of 10 m without breaking down.
The superior ergonomics of the Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Max Magnet USB Headlamp are ensured by the two-piece headband made of non-slip material that stays firmly in place while you're playing sports. The multi-coloured status light clearly indicates the charge level and also warns of overheating.
The figures given are for the cool white light, the performance of the warm white light is slightly less.
