It came with a free Panasonic battery (a very good one) and a free charger. There is also a 15% store-wide holiday discount promo code I was able to use. If you want to take advantage of these deals, do so today or tomorrow.
After it was all said and done, I paid $85 for a battery, charger, headband, clip, and the light itself. It also comes with a ten year warranty. I even got free shipping.
I already own a Zebralight h600w, so I didn't really need this new Armytek, but it was too good of a deal to pass up.
In two weeks, I will try to do a comparison review between my h600w and Wizard Pro XM-L2. If the specifications can be believed (other online reviews suggest that they can be), then this light will become my new primary.
Here is one review of the light:

Carrying two battery types in my pack never gave me any trouble, but eventually I'd like to phase the AA lights out of my cave gear completely. The higher energy density means less weight on my noggin. I can understand that there is an initial investment cost of a charger and special battery, but with this deal they give you both for free. Hard to go wrong, IMO.
