Yeah, it appears to be brighter than the Dry. I may have to get one. Nice shots!
Are you a photographer?
The Shadow impresses me but SkyRay is the final winner.
Just pulled to trigger for SkyRay!
Thanks for sharing. I really like the "wannabe art".
Size wise which is wider in diameter dry or skyray? Nice art shots btw:)
x2. I'd love to see a comparison side by side photo of the dry and king for size reference :) Thanks for the already amazing reference photos you've provided! Beautiful work and a huge help to many of us here!
About how many lumens is the King on low? And is the trigger switch mechanism user-friendly?
A pictures worth a thousand words. Thanks.
Nice work!
Thank you all for the compliments! I'm not a "real" photographer, it's just my hobby (which actually did lead me to the world of flashlights.. ;))
dthrckt: Sure. I just need to re-edit the photo for a high res version. What resolution do you want?
I will try to answer all questions and post a side-by-side photo of King and DRY later today (= after work hours). Please wait patiently..
I love your bonus photo... its surreal. Makes me want to go out and attempt taking night outdoor pictures, with illumination from just flashlights.
yeah I agree. Looks like a professional took that picture :)
I'm using it for my desktop wallpaper on my Mac and my PC's. Looks awesome!!
Man, I really want that king now.... am I wrong or does it look like it throws quite a bit better than the DRY, and with the same or better total output?
And yeah, I like that picture too.
My monitor is 1440x900 - but whatever is easiest for you - I'll just fill the background w/ black - THANKS!
You can download the high res version here (1920x1200pix).
I don't usually upload any high res photos to net, but BLF is an exception.. ;)
Side by side photos of DRY & King, as promised:
Skyray is about 1mm wider when measured from bezel and the body is about 6mm wider.
Sorry, I didn't take beamshot with low. :( I will next time.. And it is bright, at least in my opinion.
You are right. At least that's the situation with my samples.
Ceiling bounce gives the same result than my Xeno E03 NW on Med with 14500 => About 300 lumens, maybe a bit less?
Trigger mechanism is good and the UI is user friendly. The more I use it, the more I like it.
And no, I don't seem to have the switch problem FX-32 mentioned. I tried repeating Hi-Lo-Off more than 30 times and didn't see any sign of that problem.
Great photos!
thanks for the exception ;)
thankyou very much for the size photos! Hard to believe its that much shorter and fits one more battery than the dry!
