That makes complete sense. I would guess pushing the end button to toggle the light would push it out of the band.
Whiter light appears brighter, correct? I guess I’m looking for a whiter or “cool” beam.
I’ve had no issues with the Wowtac push button - seems regular, responsive.
I would second the Skilhunt H03 in neutral tint. I have it and it’s very flexible…has magnet in tailcap for hanging it as well. Modes are very customizable….very similar to Zebralight UI…can barely light up your immediate area or a fairly large area at distance….your choice. IMHO, very smooth, floody beam. Plus, with the included clip, you can wear it on your shirt/jacket as a forward looking light if needed. (same for H15 below).
I also have the Skilhunt H15, which is the AA/14500 version. I like it a lot too…nice that you can switch over to regular AA’s in a pinch. But, I usually go for the H03 because it is BARELY bigger than the H15 and of course has longer runtimes with 18650’s.
Happy hunting!
I’m pretty sure I’ve chosen the Skilhunt H03 RC. What batteries and external charger would you guys recommend?
I like the Xtar MC Ant+, or a Olight UC charger for a cheap charger.
From there you can spend as much as you want.
Since the H03 RC has a charger, maybe a cheap backup and an extra cell.
I just got some Samsung NCR18650GA cells
I use my RJ-02 as a work lamp just like the OP wants to.
It’s great at that and since it’s the cheapest of great options - that’s what I recommend.
I changed the lens to a wider one though.
I ordered the Skiohunt H03 RC direct. Still waiting for a tracking number. Emailed them today.
I also ordered an Xtar Dragon VP4 Plus charger and some KeepPower 3500mAh Sanyo NCR18650GA batteries from Illumn. I have to say I’ll never order from Illumn again. I spent over $100 and they shipped my stuff in a thin FedEx envelope that offers zero protection. The charger box is beat up. It even looks like it has been opened. That may be from the less than soft ride to my house. I suggest you avoid this place!
That’s odd. I’ve only had 2-3 orders, and they always came in those small-sized Amazon-type boxes. Like half a shoebox.
Ever since I got Milwaukee light I’ve been using with a baseball cap and its very handy as it allows to use both my hands while working. The brightness setting allows you to adjust the brightness to youre linking or to the demands of the job. Been a Milwaukee tool i know that this will perform for years to come and if anything happens to this Milwaukee will stand by its tools.
I have a Fenix HM61R. It puts out a nice neutral flood that is great for up close work
Actually I was just doing bench work the other night and had to choose between the 9 headlamps I have. The best for the job was the armytek WR. The beam is floody and just bright enough to make the work easy. The TIR lens is the best for all kinds of flood from the whole front yard to whats in my hands up close. Has a red mode as well. Magnetic charger too.

I think you’ll be happy with the Skilhunt. I have a H04 RC CRI and I use it for all of my close up jobs including soldering jobs for race quads. The warmer tint doesn’t glare so much compared to a cool tint. Beam profile is wide enough for all my tasks. It can charge while in use, however the magnetic connection isn’t really strong so charge head comes off easily with just slight movement, so I guessing that’s not its intended use. For up close, the medium modes are plenty bright with loooong runtimes.
