I have a question to somebody having this flashlight, and a lumen meter, or ceiling bounce meter:
- Does lumens change when standby battery voltage isn't 4.20V?
I mean, If I charge them to 4.00, or 3.80, or maybe less, at which point it starts decreasing output?

Just a word of caution though rusty Joe,
better do a throughout check on your King from light mall, coz I got one with 1 of the 3 Led not working. Had to pry out the driver board, remove the reflector and test the led with direct drive. I have changed a spare 16mm XML in since, and that company as for proof. But I forgot to take pics before I did the repair. Now its my words against theirs and I dun think I will get anything out of this episode.

Thanks. Well, I hope it's not defective or at least they better be an honest company!

Ps. Sorry about the missing pics in my reviews. My photo host upgraded to new version and the old links don't work for some reason. Please be patient. I'm working on it..

Hi _the_, could you do this test if you have time and want to?
Because visually I don't note difference when using with ONE battery than with four, so I think it would be interesting to know if with lower voltage it stills with same output.
Thanks!

Any Holster for the SkyRay King ? I just ordered a Nitecore Tiny TM11 holster in the US for $10.00 and $2.00 shipping. Hope it fits……
I find it weird that this light is brighter than the NW DRY on turbo when the turbo driver already sends 4 amps to every led.
From where I can buy this for cheapest ?
Anyone know a way to buy body only ? (without emitters)

These are flat tops. You need Orbtronic or AW button tops. The best for the King…… Of any light…. I have seen a lot of batteries come and go, damaged, burnt, self destruct, but the Orbtronics keep on ticking and after 10 charges get stronger !

Have you tried the king with AWs? They are LMR (“IMR”) so I would like to know if the king supports that.
Every battery capable of discharge at 5A without problem, would be great for the king, like the Orbtonic, Trustfire 3000, etc.
