March K8S

This one is basically in the style of those 18650 tactical ring tube lights we have seen so many of but upsized to 21700.

It’s a tank
It’s very nicely machined (very smooth, chamfer in right spots) and anodized (smooth ano)
SS bezel
Tons of spare parts (extra switch, extra glass, extra o rings, extra switch boot) & accessories (18650 adapter “bands”, wrist strap not pictured)
Retaining rings everywhere
Tail stands
Reverse switch
Can be locked out via tail
LMH modes w/ memory (dbl click strobe)

I got the SST-40 in Sand color. It’s about ~115/770/1600 lumens on each mode. Bezel inside diameter is about 26.5mm

Ordered 4/26, delivered 5/17 to US.

FIRE-FOXES-FF5. Best looking XEON to date.

Supfire GT60

that FF5 is a $1300 USD light which is hardly a “budget” light. Looks very impressive, but spec is only 10k lumen, looks very throwy?

Anyone try the Alonefire SV370(or SV310 as engraved on the body?) yet? Seems like a good multi-emitter light to mess around with I assume it lights up one LED at a time since it’s has a white/yellow/UV LED.

Would like to see more OLED screen integrated into more advanced light models.

So I ended up buying this to play around with. Build is what you would expect from a cheap light. Driver is seated on a cheap spring wire to make negative(?) contact with the body. Not too well versed with the technical stuff. I did slightly disassemble it to get photos for BLF. 1 click for on/off. half press to switch between LEDs. Might need to make better contact with the battery since switching LEDs is finicky and flickers when on.
