I review the Armytek Predator Pro Kit. This is a tactical flashlight that comes with all the bells and whistles.
I chose the 4000K (warm version) as it's easier on the eyes at night, and has enhanced performance and visibility benefits when used in foggy/rainy conditions. The Predator Pro is definitely a new favourite of mine!

Armytek Predator Pro Video Transcript:
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So I've been really into long-distance tactical lights, but lately I've been into those warmer LEDs. I've reviewed a few Armytek lights before and have been impressed with the build quality, performance, and attention to detail with their lights. Armytek sent me a sample of the Predator Pro Kit for the purposes of this review. The Predator Pro is built like a tank and is in my top 5 tactical flashlights that I'd carry around.
• What's in the kit
• Compared to other tactical lights.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• Excellent quality construction, feels premium and not too heavy either. No imperfections. The anodising is Matt black and extremely grippy when compared to all of my other flashlights. This seems to be unique to Armytek. It's also very durable as I've had it in my bag knocking around with other lights, and keys and not a scratch. Driver fitted inside reinforced capsule + potted + spring = excellent impact resistance. IP68- Has 25m impact resistance, submersion 25m for 5 h. 10-year warranty.
• Tailcap is an electronic switch but has increased durability compared to mechanical switches, and also doubles as a charging port. Protrudes, no tail-standing but you can operate with palm press. Armytek claims 20x more durable compared to mechanical switches. No delay on switch on or momentary. Noiseless switch.
• Accepts any 18650. Magnetic charging.
• Two LED selections - cool and warm. XHP35HI. Cool is brighter, warm has better visibility in rain/fog, and reduced eye fatigue. Paired with SMO reflector/AR lens. SS bezel coated with black oxide coating - nonreflective. Low battery indication - LED flashes twice 30 sec after switch on (means less than 25% remaining).
UI - modes
• Hunting/tactical mode. Switch by turning the light on and unscrewing and screwing the head 10x. The light blinks once. Remembers mode when switched off.
• Half-press for momentary, full press for constant on.
• Unscrew the head when on to change modes. The strobe can be programmed in or out.
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• Ceiling bounce test, CRI, CCT
Considerations
• Price - the kit costs a fair bit, $170. But you get so much value, and peace of mind if something breaks. You're also paying for attention to detail and quality control.
• Head is larger - won't fit in jeans pocket comfortably.
• Unscrewing of head to access other modes is more hands on than a side switch. But it also has the advantage of preventing accidental mode switches and better ingress protection from water/dust.
• Limited spill

Get 10% off the Wurkkos FC-12 here: https://amzn.to/3BSvbqI (Affiliate link)
In this video, I review the Wurkkos FC-12. This is a 2000+ lumen tactical flashlight powered by one 18650 battery.
I don't have many thrower flashlights. The reason being, they're difficult to carry around. Most have large reflectors, and even the ones with TIR lenses have larger heads, which stick out of your pocket.
With the FC-12, you don't have that issue. This light has a deep but narrow reflector that allows you to easily slip it into your pocket or on your belt without any fuss. The FC-12 comes with a Luminus SFT-40 emitter (I have the 6500K version) that produces in excess of 2000 lumens! When you turn it on, you realise that this light has some SERIOUS throw. I estimate that it reaches between 350 - 400 metres (visibly).
For approximately $30 on Amazon, it's budget-friendly, and you don't need to sacrifice on quality either. The finish on this light is smooth and even, the threads are square cut and anodised nicely. This light is made out of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminium. Machining is solid, I couldn't spot any flaws in mine (I have the champagne-coloured one). The best thing is that it comes with everything you need. You get a new battery, double-sided clip, lanyard, USB-C charging cable and user manual.
With a spring bypass mod to the head and tail cap, I'm sure it could throw even further. I like that it comes with a double-sided clip. These are very versatile - you can clip the light to the front of your hat and becomes a makeshift headlamp!
One of my favourite features of this light is the tactical switch. I don't have any other tactical lights, and in the beginning, I thought it was gimmicky. But boy I was wrong! You can access turbo and any other brightness level from a half-press of the tail switch. It feels different, more solid in my hand - it forms part of my fist and is very discreet due to the size. To access turbo from tactical mode, you need to be in smooth ramping mode, and ramp right to the top. I find it to be a very convenient and natural way to provide a momentary blast of light.
Don't get me wrong - it's not the brightest thrower out there. But that's not the point. You can't carry those around easily. SBT 90.2 lights also weigh more and require more juice to run. The FC-12 ticks all my boxes for a light that you can chuck in your pocket/bag, take everywhere and light up an entire alley, or dark street from a long distance.
Sometimes, the best flashlight is the one you can keep on you easily, and this is the one I keep on grabbing before I head out into the night.
Do you have any questions about this light? Would you carry one of these around? Let me know in the comments below.
