Interesting light taking into account the price and the 2xAA capability…

Thanks for posting this. I dont have any info… only I can see is that it has a XP-E led and only 1 mode,

EDIT: of course, 260 lumen is over over over over rated… May be 100 lumen at best

It’s so inexpensive that you might as well order it and report back. Saik is a romisen sub-brand.

Spoken about briefly here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/9612

easylightbuy sells it for around the same price and claiming to be an xp-g r5 and able to take 2xAA or 2x14500.

Who knows what you will get but either way at under $7 shipped it sounds like a safe risk.

Thats what im thinking take the risk. If I remember it in the morning i might take the risk. :bigsmile:

Wonder if it is semi easy to take apart and mabe put a xpg2 or ninchia 219 in it? Or does anyknow a 2aa, (heck even a 1 AA or even 3 AA) light that is cheap not overky difficult to swap parts to mod it. That way I could give them out at christmas and call them semi custom light?

Thanks

Ive been looking at this light recently and thank to your post decided to click BLF’s sponsors banner on top and just went ahead and bought two, for that money, it cant be disappointing ;)!

As far as I remember it was slightly more expensive last time I checked, good to see its on sale :)!

Lightake also has a discount code! I think it’s for 6 or 7% off!

Use: FLASHLIGHT for 5% off, just found the code online.

I googled for 8% code and used that, should have posted it first, sorry :smiley:

And its supposed to work on flashlights only, at least thats what Russian coupon site said, I used it on 2 pieces of SA125 and it worked.

Anyone received one yet? :smiley:

I bought a similar saik a couple of weeks ago, quite nicely made, and came with an extension tube, but was disappointed with the output, as fran said, VERY overrated!!
Academic now however, as I managed to fry the led a few nights ago.

Did anyone get this light

Still waiting, it takes around 3-5 weeks for things to get to this part of Europe, perhaps USA members will get it sooner?

Ok thanks looking forward to hearing bout it

Picked it up today from post office, two pieces, first observations:

-LED’s are not centered, not even close, on one of the lights its really far off, cant say how much it affects beam quality, will take them out with me tonight and see how they fare

-cant comment regarding output, dont have lux meter and my DMM is broken, will compare it to BA20 when Im outdoors later

-they are light and fee cheap

-forward clicky, on one of the lights its messy, as soon as I barely touch it, light starts to flicker, bad switch?

-washed them in warm soapy water, no water ingress neither through tail cap nor through head, at both of these parts there are O-rings, no lube tho. However both lenses accumulated some fog on them

-reflector is tiny but pronounced OP

-lens is plastci

-came with lanyard attached which was tied by small black rubber loop instead of metal piece of wire thats covered in plastic like you usually see on electronic devices

-will tail stand on flat surface

I think I will do some beamshots later tonight and post short review about it, whatcha say :D?

Thanks for the update veer.

Would be interested in shots and real world feedback

Thanks

Ok then, Ill do quick review tonight tomorrow/the day after tomorrow and if my camera doesnt fail me then make couple of beamshots, nothing fancy, mind you, because I will be in partly lit indoors, but Ill do my best to find the darkest corner possible and make some pictures :D!

Just to make it clear - this light is pure crap and SK68 clone is much better money spent, and if you add extension tube to it then its unbeatable 2AA/3AA light for the money ;)!
