Green when the cell is nearly full and red when empty. The indicator light will also flash 3 times after you turn it on or change modes.
When the e-switch is pressed then it lights up orange. All that does is keep turning the light on then back off again. That’s always a good start in my opinion, though there’s a couple of things that make Armytek’s UI a bit different to what you may be used to.įrom off there’s no double / triple / quad click. Armytek states that the Elf can survive drops from 10m.Īrmytek have an impressive 10-year warranty for the light, though the batteries, chargers, switches, and connectors have a 2-year warranty.Ĭlick on, click off, hold to change modes. Armytek really doesn’t want you (or water or dirt) getting into the flashlight. This probably results in a stronger build but means that you can’t swap between a short and long tube. The head doesn’t detach from the body from what I can tell. This helps give the light its IP68 and 10m waterproof rating. The only other lights I have with 2 O-rings are diving lights, so this is a welcome addition. With the tail cap removed you can see that Armytek have used 2 O-rings. The tail cap takes 4 turns to unscrew, revealing lubricated anodised threads. If you like your lights to look pristine then avoid the clip. This seems purely cosmetic and as a tool I’m not bothered about it. As Marco noticed with the Wizard C2 Pro, the anodisation attracts minor scuff marks. It also has matte anodisation which is nice and grippy. There’s no knurling on the Elf but I don’t think it needs it due to its shape. You can’t really use the pocket clip and headband at the same time. When in the clip on the headband, the light can be angled up or down easily. The light won’t come out when running or similar but if I was taking this caving then I’d loop an elastic band around it in case it got knocked out. The light clips onto the band with a plastic clip. The headband supplied with the Elf C1 forms a single adjustable loop without an over-the-top band. The magnet doesn’t look easy to take out. The tailcap includes a magnet that easily holds the weight of the flashlight in any direction. The tailcap includes a lanyard attachment but there’s no lanyard provided. The clip goes on fairly easily but is a challenge to remove! By itself the Elf C1 rolls a bit on a table but with the clip you can aim it in any direction. This lets the Elf C1 clip to a pocket very nicely and also makes it easier to find the switch. The steel pocket clip attaches to the middle and can go on either way up. This seems to work better when used as a headlight or held in the hand but can take a moment to get the right orientation when it’s in your pocket. Unlike some manufacturers, Armytek has put the e-switch on the side of the light instead of the top. Despite the size it has a reasonable weight to it and is easy to grip. In fact it’s almost as small as my AA Zebralight. The Elf C1 is smaller than I thought it’d be. In fact, the box has some information that isn’t in the manual.Īrmytek also sells an optional bike mount and hard hat mount for the Elf C1. Package quality.Īrmytek supplies the Elf C1 in a printed cardboard box, which includes all the specs. The two Elves are my first Armytek lights and I was interested to see if the cheaper Elf range still met my expectations of Armytek’s almost legendary build quality. I picked the warm version, sacrificing just a few lumens for a subjectively nicer beam quality. Many of them also come in “white” and “warm” too.
These are all multi-use lights that can be used as headlamps, bike lights, powered by USB or as EDC lights.Īrmytek has an Elf C1 (this one) and Armytek Elf C2: the C1 fits a 18350 cell and C2 fits a 18650 cell. The Elf C1 comes with a standard micro-USB port instead. Marco reviewed the bigger and higher spec Wizard C2 Pro recently, which has magnetic USB charging.

Instead they’ve been gradually refining their series.Īrmytek has a few right angle flashlights, including the Elf, Tiara and Wizard series lights. Armytek hasn’t released many new lights in a while and unlike most other manufacturers they don’t seem to be chasing lumens that only last a few seconds. Their tactical lights have been around for over a decade and I’m sure they last that long too. Armytek is well known for making durable flashlights with good drivers.
