I gotta go with A.
I always liked the “spline” knurling of the Zanflare F1, so right there is a huge nod to group A.
Plus, the B knurling looked to me like regular diamond-cut knurling, as in “usual”.
Of course, with both groups, nutty people like me would just haaaaaaaaave to have one of each…

B
(though if the straight groove running the length of the battery tube was removed, A might look a lot nicer)

I do as well. The Zanflare is a much finer pitch though, and looks much better IMO

Any good idea how to name the blue-gray color?
No picture visible; seems you need to be logged into TLF to see it.
Anyway, “Slate” is a nice blue-gray color.

I like the look of A more as well.

Gotta go with A. It looks much more distinctive. It’s too easy to pass B off for some ultra-cheap no-name.
Also, I’m with Lightbringer…. Picture is missing for those of us not logged into TLF. But depending on the shade, “Slate” is good descriptor of blue-grey.

It’s smaller than I expected; even a hair smaller than the smallest AAA light I own, the Olight i3E EOS . Tech specs are amazingly similar, though styling is much different (I like it!). I also appreciate the option of different LEDs.

Haha the design is similar of Olight Also I liked more Honeycomb TIR optics like in H03.
Seems like the option A prevailed afterall, and it turned out very nicely

I mistyped the alkaline runtime in the Olight (corrected now). They’re pretty much the same on runtimes for each chemistry, though the Olight doesn’t mention lithium primaries.
Thanks gchart! I just edited my post too! :+1:
Still, it seems that this Skilhunt light is very good to be run on lithium primaries! Longer runtimes :nerd_face:
I have some Ni-MH laying around, through, so I won’t probably invest on primaries.

Midnight blue. And I like knurling type A better.
Oh, that’s the “blue-gray” color to be named? The pic with the 4+4 lights?
To me there doesn’t seem to be much blue in it, so I’d have to retract “slate”. :laughing:
“charcoal” would seem to be a good description. “graphite” for a little more pizzazz.

Looks good. I wonder if it has any thermal path…
$16 shipped is not great but OK.

The picture in #284 . At least Midnight Blue sounds nice .
