Got my neutral from CNQG also.... no branding. No brighter than any of my other hot rods. The DRY warm is brighter. I'm a wee bit disappointed, but the thing still lights up the world.
Any thoughts on IMR's? Or is there every chance I'd smoke it? Using pink Ultrafires right now.
Rich
If it's a clone, I don't want the original.
Review to come, but the build quality/machining on my example is superlative.
So is it really a King? or simply another knock-off and how can you be sure?
I know I mentioned this before but it sure makes me think about the Balder SE-1 I purchased from CNQG that doesn't have any branding (no printing or etching at all) and even came with a used Ultrafire 14500. My initial thought was review sample. The clues seemed to add up. But as long as it's not "used" and it works like it should then I definitely prefer a light with no branding printed or etched on it. Well.. unless it's tastefully done. In some cases I might be proud enough to enjoy the branding 
IIRC, the MPCB is branded. I'll have the light in-hand in a couple of hours to verify.
The King I received is the best-built torch I've purchased from RIC, on par with the CNQG Longrun.
I'm confused, you save it's the best-built torch purchased from Ric, but don't have it in hand yet?
I think you're gonna have to, buddy cause my NW King is in the country and Im just waiting for it to be delivered! :)
What's the MPCB?
Okay, I'll order one in a couple of days. This is going to be expensive for a NW and DHL shipping 
Since I don't carry it on my person at all times, I can get the info when I go home.
@dorpmuller: I meant to type PCB, for the Printed Circuit Board
Oh OK, So what's the verdict on the PCB?
Anyone know of a cap that can be popped over the lens so it doesn't get scratched up? When I get one of these, I plan on daily carrying it in my bag at work and I don't want to damage the lens. Something fun to replace the Fenix TK35 I lug around in my bag. ^_^
just go to wal mart w/ your calipers :)
I buy "multivites" gummy vitamins. they come in a clear plastic bottle. I cut the bottom off and it slips right on a couple of my lights, nice and snug. Next time I run the blast cabinet it won't be clear anymore...
Just ordered my SkyRay King NW from CNQ as well as a 6-pack HiMax 18650 + Xtar WP6 II from protactical.
BTW...if you order from CNQ, tell them you are a member of the BudgetLightForum and you'll get $5 refunded after your purchase. ^_^
I was mistaken - no markings on PCB.
How did you get him to do that?? I bought 2 lights & 2 holsters, gave him my BLF ID, his order number and PP transaction #, and he told me NO for a discount, that his prices are already low..........add in shipping though and that really isn't the case.
Wish I had some money right now. Tired of waiting a month for things to arrive. I'd order this from T-Mart for a quick ship.

Did you confirm that it ships out of the Brooklyn warehouse?
No… I have no money anyways… just a thought
I left a message with their CS asking it it ships from the US warehouse or not.
