Скачать или смотреть WowTac A4 (Thrower) / Full Review

This is the new WowTac A4 , sent to me for review and no other compensation other than keeping the light.

You can find the A4 at the main WowTac site..........

The A4 came in a bubble wrap package , with the Wowtac box inside that. Everything was in good condition and well packed and padded inside the box when the light arrived.
The light comes with 2 spare O-rings , an extra switch boot for the side switch and the instruction manual.

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when I took this one from the packaging. I was not expecting the light to be as compact as it is using 2 x 18650 cells and claiming 800 plus yards of throw.
The knurling is well done on this light as are all the threads.

The XHP 35 HI emitter sits perfectly centered in an almost flawless reflector behind an AR coated lens that was almost invisible when I took this light from the box.

The heat seems to be handled pretty well with the few fins the A4 has. The shelf for the emitter is solid and the MCPCB is screwed down.
The head is actually made very much like the ThruNite Cataplut V6 head , for those who have or are familiar with that light.
he side switch is a metallic one and is lighted Blue in the center when the power is on, This same indicator doubles as a low voltage warning , turning Red when the cells are at 20% power remaing and the Red light starts blinking constantly when the cells get down to 10% power remaining. The Branding (etching) on the light is also well done.

The A4 has a pretty simple UI. A long press turns the light on in Firefly mode , a press and hold (about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second) advances to the next higher mode of Low. From there you can cycle through Low , Medium and high modes holding the switch button down and just release it when desired mode is reached. The Turbo is a double click from any mode , including off and the strobe is a double click from there. To turn the light on or off a simple quick click of the siwtch is all that is needed. There is mode memory for Low , Medium and High modes , so when the light is turned off in one of those modes it will come back on in that mode next time the power is turned on.
The beam from the A4 is a very well defined hotspot with very little to no corona around it and enough spill to be a useable spill for walking and such.
Wowtac does specify to use PROTECTED cells only and this is due to the length of the tube , as even the button top unprotected will not make good contact.
Overall I think this is an excellent little thrower , with exceptional build quality and great output and throw , especially for the price they are selling it for.
