//5 Point Review: Armytek Barracuda Tactical Light

//CONCEPT
//What is constant brightness? Constant brightness is when the circuitry is designed to produce the same level of output (lumens) as the battery depletes. Over %95 of flashlights on the market immediately drop down from max claimed output after the first 5-10 minutes either from power drain or overheating which is improperly ramping up the voltage to the LED just to achieve a high output claim that can be marketed to consumers. The Barracuda gives you a true 1000 lumens of output for the entire run time with proper heat dispersion which means within minutes the Armytek Barracuda becomes the real tactical or search flashlight that performs with reliability & usability in the real world.
//CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN
//The flashlight is a full size carry but the overall body tube is very lean. The dark matte powder finish provides for good traction and the flashlight is not heavy. The light doesn't have aggressive detailing on the handle for traction so when striking it is possible for the light to fly out of the hand regardless of how you hold it so gloves may be recommended and practice. Armytek flashlights are built to the highest standards & offer improved build features such as double O-rings at each junction, squared off thick screw threads, anti-reflective coating on the lens, stainless steel bezel rings on each end for durability if it falls to the ground (most competitor lights only have aluminum bezels)
//PERFORMANCE
//Elite, intense, awesome. The Barracuda performs in it's ability to send light down a long distance which is the primary reason to carry such a large flashlight. These lights are designed to help you search and having the beam focused tightly on one spot makes this light illuminate your target area completely. Distances of over 150 with moisture in the air and you can see in this video despite only being 100 more lumens more than the Elzetta Charlie* the Barracuda completely illuminates the houses on the hill.
If you could weaponize a light then this is it. The beam's intensity and projection, the handle size and weight both lend this to be an effective tool for offense and intimidation. The only consideration is if you want to use the light as a striking baton it would be beneficial if the buttons were on the body not on the tail cap so that your hand is in a ready position to strike with the tube section. This is personal preference since the tail cap method makes it easier to reliably find the button to activate the light. The version 1 has better grip because of the notching on the body. Upgrading to a 3400MaH battery will improve run time by <30% meaning 15-20 minutes more of maximum performance.
//ROLE & APPLICATIONS
//The length of this flashlight make it a viable striking weapon. A flashlight is easy to take on board a plane if disassembled and is legal to carry when traveling. The far reaching focused hotspot and constant brightness for over an hour makes this a real world useable search and rescue tool combined with the fact that this flashlight doesn't overheat then mode drop like most of the competitors. And for intimidation or tactical situations the output will absolutely blind the opponent.
//FEATURED VIDEO
//Learn why constant brightness and a deep reflector make the Barracuda the #1 high powered choice in the industry. The output claims of competitors are based on pushing the LED harder for a few minutes of usable max output before dimming but the Barracuda maintains it's max output for the full hour of run time which can be upgraded with an improved 18650 3400mAh battery.
//FINAL IMPRESSIONS
    // Made by one of the best manufacturers in tactical lighting with amazing build quality & logical design for real world use. When you look at charts showing the OTF output of lumens versus each brand's claims, very quickly the Barracuda's 1000 lumens (based on independent testing) continuously produces at a consistent rate as the competitors decline and lose the race. Even lights such as the Thrunite Catapult V5 only offer the max output for "4 minutes" before stepping down. When you use a flashlight in this category you want reliable performance not a marketing gimmick. The Armytek Barracuda is one of the top flashlights in the two 18650 cell category.
