REVIEW: SKILHUNT DS15

Great review. Thanks. I do not see the pricing anywhere. Either here or on the official website.

Really great review, i really like the runtime/ouput graphs from different batteries, great job!

Nice review, looks like a nice light too.

About $43 using Google @ AliExpress.

BG has it too that a google search can reveal, but theres a reason Im not posting it. If you find it, you will likely work out why that is.

Edit: And there ya go. It was Trevi Luxs code I found on another site, and as it wasnt here I assumed he didnt want it up here, or would put it up later.

Thanks for comment guys

Hello, I’ve just seen the price on Banggood (is not an affiliatte link, I do not get any profit with this link)

http://www.banggood.com/SKILHUNT-DS15-Cree-XML2-5Mode-240-Lumens-14500-LED-Flashlight-p-928450.html

(You can try with this cupon: SKDS15)

Edit:Yesterday companions Spanish forum asked me for the price, I have searched and found only on sale in Bg. I contacted them for if there was a better price, they told me this code. I include here but I do not say the final price …

Nice review!! Thank you!
I like this UI, I wish this kind of UI was implementend in the Solarstorm SC* series (which is MEH). Much better use of the single side switch.

nice light and ui along with a great review
but a bit pricey for a AA light

I agree, very nice light. But a bit pricey even with the code for a AA light at ~ 220 lumens.

Good price on those I see with coupon but still expensive for a gift :wink: Trevi, did you test an alkaline on high? If yes, what would be the runtime?

Great review. Looks like they made some headway in the design department.

Did you notice any PWM when using the light? I am somwhat sensitive to it and earlier the Skilhunt brand lights were renovned to have very visible PWM regulation.

Hi guys, sorry, in 24 hours i will coment about alkaline and about PMW. (I’m extremely busy today).

Hi Saypat: I have many premium1x AA lights, this is one of the more cheap of them (you know the price of Sunwayman C15A, Spark SF5, Zebra SC52, EagleTac D25A clicky,…?)

First-class review and a very nice looking light.

Thanks for the review. Fairly good price for a high efficiency 1xAA light.

Thanks for great review. Can you take the SS bezel off? If I buy it, I’ll definitely swap the emitter to 3500-4000K.

So expensive light.
Have you won this flashlight for free making the review?

Thanks for the review. Looks like a nice light. I didn’t see if you mentioned whether it has a soft lockout, or some UI feature to lock the switch out so it doesn’t come on in your pocket. Though it looks like it does have tail cap lockout.

Is there a neutral or warm tint version? Plans for a Ti or enthusiast version?

The price sounds fair but how about someone putting together a group buy!

“Thank you for reading this report and thanks Skilhunt the confidence they have in me to perform the review of this new model” …
I think I make it clear is a sample for review.

Is a Premium 1xAA, on Banggood has a good price (with coupon of this forum, I think is a really good price for this DS15)

I use the Tail cap lockout. I think there is no other blockage. But it does not turn easily.

It would be good idea to warm or neutral tint…. I do not know if skilhunt will release a new version. I will ask them.

Nice and very complete review, thanks!

just one thing, you say that the light is 'quite compact' and then do a photo-comparison to some of the most bulky AA-lights out there ;-) . IMO it is rather fat and long actually for its battery size, not much smaller than some of the more compact 18650 flashlights. and that is why it does not appeal to me much, a 18650 battery powered light of similar size will give way better runtimes (like 4x), and/or better output.

i found right now this model…sadly,without clip…but it can be added from blf edition flashlites:)
hm.very low output i found.i dont undesratnd for 18650 xml…so low??
iam still afraid to buy this things cos the plastic side switch…any better idea for side switch flashlite?
probably i can change the driver with the fet driver and it could be again powerfull flashlite.this stock looks not very bright…

Why without clip? This model (DS20) includes the series clip in the package.

Now I will prefer DS21 (900 lumens)
