It’s worth noting that with powerful lights, a 5% output mark may look relatively dim on the chart, but in actuality it could be very usable light. The first rectangular graph is cut across the beam and helps a bit better to see the drop-off between the center (spot) to the outer (spill). Besides that, I don’t think that’s it’s worth mentioning a spill angle when it’s less than this 5% mark unless 5% is in the ~300 lumen range. Their hotspot of 70° is technically correct but that would be measured almost to 5% of beam strength (perhaps only 100 lumen). I measure the angle at 50% of the max output (this is called “Full Width Half Maximum” aka FWHM) as I feel this gives a better overall impression of the light. Also, the pocket clip is very sturdy and difficult to pull off.Īrmytek actually states some beam angle info:Īccording to my tests, the light has a beam angle of 32° FWHM. The main headband is comfortable is a little more durable than I usually see and as long as you don’t maid having a Canadian leaf on your head then no prob. The only tricky part is putting it back in while the mount is still on your head but not too bad. The headmount is one of the better mounts I’ve used, as the plastic arms hold the light well even without the extra rubber band. The cap is especially difficult to tighten due to 2 o-rings and also, I think, because the battery compartment is a little to short and the stiff spring has has to compress a lot to close. The tailcap unscrews and turning the cap I find it pretty tight. The steel rings around the lens and the switch are also impressive details.
I’m also impressed they are able to fit in some heat-sink fins which likely helps increase the output. Plus, it light’s up when and after you click on the light. I also LOVE the the switch and it’s placement! It’s super practical (aka non-tactical), but the yellow cover makes it easy to find, and it’s thick rubber so won’t wear-out, and the cover is slightly domed and easy to find in the dark. The slight down side is that your light becomes very fine sand paper and can pick up little scuffs in use but is pretty easily cleaned.
This finish is kind of a sand-blasted feel which means that you get great micro texture and increased grip. The first thing that you notice about ArmyTek is the matte (super non-glossy) finish.
