The unknown SkyRay? from Wallbuys - FYI, just A few Photos

I picked up this SkyRay from a Wallbuy's sale. Here's a few photos of it. I had not seen this one before.

Not the "good driver"

Well, they are XM-L, something or other...

Close up of driver.

This is just so you can see the guts of this light. For the price, it's still not worth it to me. Dings, scratches, broken "O" ring, god knows what led or driver, fingerprints on the reflector, cheap glass lens. I guess I will have to mod it!

LOL, more proof of the 'it doesn't matter if it works or not as long as somebody will buy it' business strategy. xD

But yeah, looks relatively mod-friendly, except maybe for there not being a removable pill, though that could work better as long as you can get the right stack height with whatever components you decide to use.

Both the cells & LEDs running in series? Must be, with a single channel driver.

Have you measure the Ampere before you disassembled it?

the cells run parallel

No, I need to reassemble it and borrow some 18650s and test it. I just wanted to see what the guts looked like.Smile

What is the diameter of that driver?

Ooh, so it's a boost driver. Now I'm curious about the output current too.

I don’t know, I’m at work now. I can do some measurements when I get home. Looks about the same size as a SRK driver.

dang... thats all i got to say about that.

thanks justin for the detailed pics

36 mm

Crap, I was hoping my new SRK driver would fit:

whats the srk driver diameter?

46mm.

i got mine today. host looks pretty decent. oring around the bezel is broken, but seems pretty useless because the bezel does not hold the lens in place...

output is kind of meh. i will have to try it later tonight when its dark out. got to say im surprised the hot spot is so uniform

host is in good shape, no blemishes in the anno that i can spot. glass is dirty but reflector looks good. its longer and skinnier than i expected.

mines actually got a pretty nice tint to it. warmer than my c108's stock emitter, but cooler than my blf a8. still pretty disappointed in the output, even outside

edit: but im not much of a tint snob... so its still not really impressing me. i wanted to see the LIGHT!

THIS JUST IN!!!

just measured mine at a whopping 14kcd!!! wahoo! who thought that three xmls could be so intense?!?!?!

edit: seems my lux meter is going whacky. either it needs a new battery or its just crapping out on me. hope its the battery

Got mine the other day. Finally tried it tonight….it works lol. It’s pretty bright but not sure how bright. I wish I had a SKR to compare it with. I love the side switch. The only other triple I have is an eagletac R2 and this appears to be a lot brighter. It has a lot more flood/spill.

So I’m just happy it works. I’m looking forward to any mods you guys come up with as I need more output.
