To charge the battery, the tailcap must be loosened slightly to break the circuit. This reduction in output means the Wizard Pro should be safe even for a careless or uninformed user with low-drain batteries.

This is a good medium-drain battery, but the Wizard Pro will start reducing output earlier with this battery than it would with a high-drain battery like the LG HG2 or Sony VTC6. The included Armytek branded unprotected battery is an LG MH1. To put it back in normal operation, hold the button, then loosen the tailcap. To enable it, loosen the tailcap, hold the button, then tighten the tailcap. There is a "tactical" momentary mode that makes the light momentary-only in the last mode used.

I normally prefer neutral tints, and a bit cooler ones at that, but I found the warm more pleasant here. The cool tint is probably around 5700K and a bit green-biased, but not bad. The beam is broad relatively even with a gentle gradient from bright in the middle to dim near the edges. It looks like some of the silver paint got oversprayed on both units, but this wore off over time. The finish is Armytek’s standard matte anodizing with lots of silver writing. I’m not entirely sure how this would be used, but it’s there. There’s also an armband, which was a little big for my wrist and not too useful other places. Even better, installation in the headband is possible with the pocket clip installed! I don’t think that’s quite what Armytek intended, but it works perfectly.

I did manage to crack one, but it required hitting the bezel with a hammer (see modifications section). Repeatedly running the lights to thermal stepdown and dunking them in cold water had no effect on the lenses, and they’re now held in place by a very thick o-ring under the bezel. The latest version, with cooling fins and possibly some revisions to the head design seem to have fixed that issue.
