is this the same? The reviewer said its the same as the king. anyone else got this?
I'm waiting both. I'll report if any differences.
I received both, and they are exactly the same
Nice try. :)
I... must... resist... ;)
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)
My King came to real life with Orbtronic cells period ! This torch requires real cells to shine ……
Would flat cells be ok for this light ? i got 4x panasonics NCR18650s flat top
If they look like this yes……
no they look liek grey ones. flat tops
Just about to order this light, what would be the best batteries to use and can i use either button top or flat top?
Would these be ok?
Thanks for joining, CM2010. Welcome to BLF!
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.
II would recommend flat top AW’s. With any light that requires direct PCB to battery contact, button tops will damage the surface unlike a spring. You can use button top spacers. AW’s are widely known for there 1600mah red label
cells they made a few years ago, discharge 9-10amps. Oh, and Black Label 32650’s and 26500 as well…
This is the best image of what the top of the battery should look like ! To fit the King……
Manny - I just purchased a bunch of Panasonic’s. I’ll alternate between them an AW’s.The 18650 cell
in your pic im assuming is yours? Can you tell me if in fact that is is a red ring around the top or positive end?
The ones i have do have a button although it appears to be a bit more recessed than the Panasonic in your pic.
The cells i have are identical to this one
side note, AW purchases highest binned raw cells from Panasonic …
