prime Archives - TACTICAL REVIEWS

In ‘Part Two’ we will be taking a first look at the Prime Pro A1 and A2, plus the Uni C2 Charger. – This is Part Two of a group review of four models of Armytek’s ‘Prime Pro’ range of lights (also included with the Prime Pro lights was the Armytek Uni C2 charger). When embarking upon this review I had not expected to generate quite so much content, so have had to split the review into three parts to make it more manageable. You will find links to these as each part becomes available.

Index:

Each title here will become an active link once it has been published.
Part One – A Detailed look at the Prime Pro Magnet USB C1 and C2.
Part Two – A Detailed look at the Prime Pro A1, A2 and Uni C2 Charger.
Part Three – Beamshots, Technical Testing and What they are like to use.

Taking a more detailed look at the A1:

As we go through the details of each light, for some there will be common features. In this case I may only show that feature for one of the models. In this part we have the A1 and A2 which are very similar as really the only difference is the cell and length of the battery tube. If you think a detail has been overlooked, check the similar model for that detail.

The Prime Pro packaging is a different style.

The light comes in the holster, and as well as the clip / o-rings, has a lanyard.

Showing the size of the A1 next to an AA cell.

As with the others, a TIR optic is used.

With no built-in charging the tail-cap is a different look.

The tail-cap has a chamber containing a removable magnet.

It is a good size and very powerful magnet.

The lanyard ring is fitted by opening the magnet chamber and re-fitting the cover.

Removing the battery tube allows a clear view of the contacts inside the head.

All of this group on test can take the head off the battery tube.

Taking a more detailed look at the A2:

A1 and A2 side by side. The battery tube length being the only visual difference.

Taking a look at the Uni C2 charger:

Rechargeable cells are the provider of ‘guilt free lumens’ so I hope you will be using them whenever possible. The Uni C2 is Armytek’s complimentary multi-chemistry auto charger, and is a perfect match for these lights and with its long list of supported cells, most of your other lights too.

Mains power and 12V options are included.

Modes and User Interface:

This section is common across Part One and Two of the review to allow you to compare functions easily. It contains extracts from Armytek’s instruction manuals. Check the Armytek website for downloads of the full versions of these.
