for those who are wondering… it has the same throw to my eye as the sk68 clone on 14500… it looks like this light is just a ‘scaled up’ version of the sk68… bigger light… but bigger die emitter so same throw… but far better beam quality and better heat management
im not sure if the pill is hollow, although i would just assume so at this point… heat sinking could be improved by filling it with solder
thanks for the review, and thanks for making me buy another light. nah it was half garry’s fault too, for finding the light …
did you purchase yours from that link garry posted?
that is too wierd that you just posted this. i was just gonna come back to this thread and say before i make another impulse buy, does jmpaul have the m12 to compare and now it can be answered. so we know the m12 is of better quality, but how about in terms of brightness in flood mode, which is brighter and floodier, and throws further?
jmpaul, is this as bright as your m10, no right?
do you or jmpaul have one of those tubed lights like a 2100 or a hd2011 , s2/s3? or anything you can relate in ccomparison to let me know how bright this 26650 sk98 is. i know he mentioned 1000 lumens or so, but i doubt it looks 1000 lumens in flood mode. all my zoomies in flood mode look rather dim.
Nice review, lucky for me its a zoomy. Resistance is no problem, its the one kind of light I absolutely will not make the mistake of buying another of.
Incidentally, the 26650 Gary made me buy was an aleto too……
hmm…so this only puts out a bit more lumens vs the sk68 both in flood mode? that doesnt sound very bright at all.
so that means this light is no match for that m10 you got right?
Garry makes everyone spend money! I think I need to use him on my taxes to try and recoup some of my money. Lol Resistance is futile. He should have been in sales!
Nice review this will complete my set of sk68 style lights! Thanks!
My buddy likes the sk68 lights and showed him my sk98 this weekend and he wants one but he wants a neutral tint installed in it though after seeing some 4c and 3c tints this weekend.
