ArmyTek are a German company with a great reputation for producing solid, well supported and good value-for-money caving headlamps. As well as their popularity among cavers on the continent, they also have established contracts with military and police forces around the world due to their reliability and ruggedness.
The Wizard C2 Pro Max is their top end main beam, with a light output and battery life suitable for pretty much anything the sport of caving can throw at you! The lowest practical main beam will do 60+ hours, or a more comfortable medium level for about 20 hours. The highest turbo mode of 4000/3720 lumens will light up some truly beastly sized passage, and throw for over 100 metres.
With IP68-rated protection and a 10m submersion depth and 10m fall protection, you can be sure it'll survive pretty much anything a cave can throw at it. The magnetic charging system allows you effortlessly throw your helmet at it after a trip.
Out of the box there are 6 brightness modes for simplicity, but it can be switched into Advanced mode for finer tuning and more light options (see the included manual for more details).
ArmyTek also cover their lamps with a 10 year manufacturer's warranty. If your lamp develops a fault within 10 years from purchase, get in touch with them and provide your order confirmation to prove purchase, and they'll arrange for repair or replacement of it - great peace of mind in a world of throwaway electronics.
