Got mine for $35.30, last night. Don’t need another torch (you know how that goes, right?). So, I was wondering how many took the dive on this, and if you like it, or do you have buyer’s remorse?

I got one in from him about 10 days ago. The dark gray U2 version. Decent light, but lacking a little behind the best Kings. Though I have a weaker king too. Paid about $44 via the “Pay Now”.
Basically I feel if you have a king now, not much point in getting a Kung unless you want one to add variety to your collection. If you don’t have a King, then a Kung is a pretty equal choice.

I got one, the Gun Metal T6 model. I don’t have a King to compare it to, but it puts out a nice bright flood and I got it in only 7 days!
Great Deal, nice light, Brotherhaung rocks.

Won mine on 6/11 said it was shipped out on 6/12 but haven’t seen it yet.

I like it.

I chose the U2 gray for $42 (after currency conversion). Received from Bro Huang 10 days from purchase date. This is my first > 1000 real lumen light. It has also impressed family and friends.

No regrets.

didnt buy mine from this seller but i did get the T6 version and love it

IMO, only get one if its priced low.

Even when you get a good one, King or Kung, it’s use is limited. I picked a King for $30 and at that price its nice as a “back door” light. These things need at least 3 modes, high gets too hot quickly, low is too low IMO. Its a prime candidate for a driver mod. But, it is my brightest light, I look at it as a toy more than a tool.

I can almost walk around the house before it gets too hot to hold, its fun to give it off to friends and watch the reaction after about 3 minutes. :bigsmile:

I’m not interested in the Kung at all after using my King.

Texaspyro's upcoming driver for the SRK will give it great modes. That's why I went for the SRK instead of the Kung.

Texaspyro’s driver thread is probably driving the King prices up… J)

I’m hoping that will come about soon… That driver is exactly what the King needs.

I bought from rabbitword88. should be the same seller as Bro Huang.
it is decent built light and performer. still can be improved here and there.
I can prefer this one as the seller is still limited thus the light variation might also limited too compared to SRK.

Well I bought from him too, and mine is poor quality and hard to tell if its brighter than SRK: chipped switch, scratches, driver loose and does not fit into head. It does work at least. It does flood better than SRK.

Pleasantly surprised, nice torch. Only paid $35 on the bidding thing. Got mine fairly fast, seems fine, like the colour, kind of gun metal grey, gets a little warm, is definitely CW, looks good, I like it. I have a SRK gold from WB, and a Black one, and a DRY, but for some reason, I like the BroKung one.

Still havent seen mine. I was told that he has shipped out a replacement. Hope to see soon.

Same here. I just contacted this seller to see wassup. Just over 30 days today. :frowning:

Yeah I was told I would be sent a replacement too if I paid him extra to ship it out. Havent seen it yet, 3 weeks…its getting close to the time I can’t “escalate the case” in ebay, if I dont see it a few days before I’m going to “escalate” it, and later add bad reviews…

Got two units (one for a friend) in 8 days. Like it versus the one from zhilight68. The one from zhilight68 doesn’t have any marking/branding at all. :beer:

I was ask to send payment for two if both happen to show up. Told them i didnt need two and would ship one back if they would pay for return shipping.

@B42, so far not seeing other user report theirs as bad as yours. maybe you just got a real bad copy.

Hope so, because the replacement should be here soon…or shoulda been here rather. I’m more concerned that I get the replacement before my recourse time runs out since many seem to be missing items/shipments like my replacement. I kinda expect Kungs to be not so great now: I only really expect it to show up, not be in poor condition and at least be as bright as the SRK, but maybe I’ll be lucky and get one with output like Dale’s seems to have.

…you wont want to send it back, it was more expensive than buying 2-3 of the lights where ever I looked.
