Skilhunt H03 Review

Thanks mate yea for that price its hard to beat. I Think we paid like 45 USD for the HC30 when it first came out. I thought that was awesome lol

The magnet in the tail cap is good and strong too.

I remind paying 30$ for the HC30…thanks to M4DM4X of course

EDIT : 33.90$ sorry

Mine was more lol i had the discount also maybe i am thinking Aussie dollars it was ages ago now.

Yea the magnet is awesome i forgot to take a picture of it in use.

One thing i find weird is the IPX rating. I took the light apart and there is no front O-ring where the optics sit so i wet it with the hose that will be in my video and it still works but i find it odd that there is no O-ring and no proper IPX rating? Like i sprayed the optics with the hose on full blast so i am sure it will be fine.

I noticed this too in a tear down… So we have no ring under the metal plate, and no ring under the TIR optic either? Hmmm… I do believe that checking the waterproofing by hosing it or putting it in a bucket of water for ten minutes and checking whether it still works is not the right way; the light might still fail after a day or so. I would take apart the light to see whether there is no water inside.

Okay i could be blind lol I stuffed up! Do not mind the mess i was just eating! I’m a mad grub lol

Good news! Thanks a lot mate! And enjoy your meal (if you’re still eating)!

I will add this there is only a red LED on the switch. So i was right that time lol

I just got my H03 in the mail three days ago. So far I really like it. The tint is really good, and so is the flood/TIR beam pattern.

That said, there are two things I’ve noticed that could be improved:

  • Magnet could be stronger - the light sticks really well if you’re sticking it to a really thick piece of metal, but not so well to even medium-thin metal. A body panel on my car is barely enough to hold the light, and a tiny touch will make it fall.
  • I would like a lower profile or recessed switch. I EDC’d the light in my pocket the second day I had it, and it turned itself on (I only noticed when my thigh started to get hot).

Thanks for the review. PMing you for the coupon,

Has anyone been adventurous to take the light apart yet? I just got the light and I like it but I wouldn’t mind tweaking it in the future.

Yea but that happens with all magnets on flashlights its more so the metals fault? It happens in my shed also i think the weight of the light is to much for the metal surface. Had the same issue with the Olight S1R and the Rofis TR20.

Thanks folks!

I just added a video if your interested. I think i need to trim my beard!

  • Mine sticks very well to side of refrigerator or the door of my F150 truck. Your car may have some non ferrous alloy mixed in the steel. The new Ford F150’s are aluminum bodies, so no magnet will stick to them.
  • There are two ways to lock out the light. One is, when light is off, hold the button down for 1.5 seconds. The light will turn on for a second then shut off. It is now locked out, but the location beacon is on. (red light on button flashes). Click again to shut off location beacon. (this info is in manual). Second way to lock out is loosen the tail cap a quarter turn or less.

hope that helps

^ Huh? Magnets don’t stick to aluminium…

Not on this planet… lol

So the new F150 use alloy panels or Chassis? Is that the Eco boost?

I checked. The new F150 has got many aluminium panels, including the doors. I think Robert made a little booboo hihi.

Mine is a 2013 all steel 5.0 liter V8. Aluminum body started in 2015 I think. Chassis is still steel.
