According to the manufacturer all SK68 with CREE emitters are Q4, and it's rated for AA 1.5v (It's possible to custom order it with OSRAM emitter too, but I haven't seen any).
I have got three of them from Focalprice recently. They have a Cree led (probably Q3 or Q4) they support a 14500 and they draw between 1200 and 1300mA.

I bought the dx version, not sure if it's 'real' or not but it's of great quality and I love the light.

Used to buy alot of those at DX. Current draw was around 2A from decent AA batteries.

The one from DX works also with 14500?
Anyone modded it with different emitter (q5 or r2 for example)?
This flashlight is like Akoray 106! One million clone of the clone!
@mfm: Thanks for the link.
@Boaz: already done.. waiting for sunday draw!
From the site seems that the "real" sipik has Q4 and the one from Manafont is the only one that use this led. It's also true that has different screw on the clip (ok now i seems a mad..).
So no one try 14500 battery on it and no one mod it with different emitter or driver?
I think there are as many versions of this light as there are sellers selling it. A long time ago BLF-er VFMaddict recommended these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PCS-Adjustable-Focus-Zoom-CREE-LED-200-Lumen-Mini-Ultra-Bright-Flashlight-Torch-/330673622712?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item4cfdaf0eb8
I've bought over a dozen from this seller, all identical, all without issues. That said, my last purchase was months ago and the latest batch may be different. Also bear in mind that they are single mode. I've yet to find a seller of the 3 mode version that I could recommend because the consistency of these is hopeless.
