![]() ![]() If you forgot what your last used mode was then single clicking can pull up a mode that is the opposite of what you want. Zebralight's UI can be figured out with some experimenting though it's still not intuitive as more basic lights, of course. You pretty much have to read the manual to figure it out. It's easy to get to any mode from any other mode. You just have to access that mode beforehand first.Įasy to change brightness within a mode and, compared to the ZL interface, you get three levels instead of two. This means that it is possible to immediately select any mode from off with a single click. It remembers your last mode choice and single-clicking will automatically recall that mode. ![]() By default this feature is disabled except while actively using Main or Max mode. Little tricky to do, but you don't have to do it often so it's no big deal. With this flashing battery indicator one can easily find the light in the dark.Įnabling and disabling this feature can be done by unscrewing the battery cap by 1/4th and then holding down the button while you screw it back in, and then back out. It's actually a very practical feature for me, since I tend to leave my lights in my bedroom and in order to find them I'd have to turn on the lamp and disturb my girlfriend. It'll flash red if low, and I think it'll flash faster depending on the charge. Basically, the button you press to turn on the light will flash green every 5 seconds or so, depending on battery capacity. This is also great for finding your flashlight in the dark. Here's a cool feature that I will use though: battery status light via led inside the button. I have no use for a light that only lights up when you press the button, so I haven't experimented. I don't know how you switch modes once you've entered Momentary On. In any case, you can unscrew the battery compartment cap and then screw it back in while holding the button to enable and disable it. The Wizard Pro has Momentary On capability, though I honestly don't know why anyone would use it - perhaps with a firearm? Not sure how you would hold a flashlight with a 90 degree head in conjunction with a handgun, but I wouldn't be surprised if people do it. This is the same for how you select beacon and strobe modes from within Special. Now whenever you go back to that mode it will be at that brightness. It'll cycle between the three available brightnesses and you let go on the one you want to use. In order to customize which of the three brightness levels you want to use in Main and Firefly, you simply access that mode and then hold down the button. Single click if used last.Įntering Special mode: four clicks. Single click if it was used last.Įntering Firefly mode: hold button, or double click from Main. Single click from off if it was used last.Įntering Main mode: double-click button. However, instead of ZL's two different levels for each mode, Wizard Pro gives you 3.Įntering Max mode: triple-click button. Instead of a high, medium and low, you have a customizable high and a low, and then a simple uncustomizable full-blast mode. ![]() You can think of the Wizard Pro's UI as having just two of Zebralights three modes. It's way easier than the manual makes it look and it works well. Then you tap once to get high, tap twice to get medium, and hold down from off to get low. Each of those can be customized with a high version and a low version. The easiest way for me to explain the UI is be comparing it to ZL's, since a lot of you already have one. I never, ever use these on any lights of mine but they are there for you folks who would make use of them. Then there's the different special modes, like strobe and beacon. Max: exactly what it sounds like, only one setting of maximum brightness. Since I've never heard anyone here discuss the particulars to any Armytek UI, I will go ahead see if I can outline it below in a way that makes sense.įirefly: super-duper low, very low, and merely fairly low. That said, this light's interface is pretty solid. ZL lights have an awesome UI, definitely my favorite. ![]() The UI: Everyone compares every interface to Zebralight's, and for a good reason. which is, of course the entire purpose of the light, I feel like I know enough to give a general opinion on the UI and first impressions. I finished spending about 30 minutes learning all of the functions of the UI and while I haven't actually been able to use the light in the dark yet. I bought an Armytek Wizard Pro the other day and it just came in. ![]()
