Prime C2 Pro review by SammysHP

Supplied parts and hardware

  • 18650 Li-ion battery with 3500 mAh (3.54 V on delivery)
  • Clip
  • Holster Prime
  • 2x replacement o-ring
  • Magnetic charging cable
  • Quick start guide (EN, DE, FR, RU, FI, SE, NO, PL)

The quick start guide contains a QR code that lets you download the full manual as a PDF. Saves paper and most functions are sufficiently explained in the quick start guide.

Simple design with matt black anodization. The textue allows a secure handling even without knurling, but makes it harder to clean. It’s almost like a chalkboard.

Prime

  • Length: 118 mm
  • Diameter: 20.5 – 24.5 mm
  • Weight: 66 g / 115 g with battery

Perfect companion for the Armytek Wizard with a matching design!

Charging of the battery is possible using the magnetic charging port in the tailcap. Good solution to protect against water and dirt, but it requires the special charging adapter.

First you have to unscrew the tailcap slightly. Then it’s enough to move the light near the charging adapter and it will snap in place. Perfect!

The magnetic tailcap can also be used for attaching the light. The magnet is strong enough to hold the flashlight horizontal safely. There’s no risk for a short: The center contact is recessed, with tightened tailcap both contacts have the same potential and with loosened tailcap there’s also no current.

Prime The included holster allows you to carry the Prime on your belt or backpack. It has a small D-ring and a fixed loop for attachment.

The matt anodization appears to be very sensitive and easy to scratch. Here you can see the marks after the first usage of the clip. But any light will show wear after some time, so it’s not a big issue for me. The head is glued and the electronics are fully potted. Armytek advertises that it will survive drops of 10 m height.

User interface and features

The prominent and colorful part of the flashlight is the electronic switch at the side of the head. It is used to control all functions.

Illumination

Prime You can get the Prime C2 Pro in a cool white and a warm white variant. Both use a Cree XHP50.2 LED with lots of power, but mediocre color rendition. For my test I had the cool white version.

Prime A small, powerful pocket flooder with simple user interface. Don’t expect any throw, but you’ll get a very nice even illumination. If you already have an Armytek flashlight, this will be the ideal compagnon with a matching design and compatible magnetic charging system.
