- ✓Runs for days or weeks on low output
- ✓Strong magnetic tailcap that doubles as the charging attachment
- ✓Works equally as a headlamp or a handheld right-angle light
- ✓Armytek's warranty is far longer than the industry norm
- ✗Anodising scuffs easily, especially at the clip and headband attachment points

- ✗The interface is unusual and the manual barely explains it
- ✗Magnetic charging rather than USB-C
- ✗Charging a large cell over that connector is slow
