The price has gone done to $54 for the CW and NW for only $57
Not the black one though……
Would have been a great deal if it weren’t for the shipping charge which they never disclose until you contact them. This is why I prefer sites that give all inclusive price with free shipping.
If you click on the buy now button (the paypal one) the total cost comes up to $50.00 USD. Still pretty good if you ask me.
Ok $50 is pretty good. Is the dealer trusted?
I trust them. They are in direct contact with the factories and dont sell any fakes. For some lights they have the lowest prices on the net. The better selling items are also listed on ebay, at higher prices to compensate for the ebay listing fees and whatnot.
got my black king today!
AWESOME!!!
popped in some equally depleted batteries just for a quick test… all were at 3.6v and were the focalprice green panasonic 3100mah protected cells.
the light ROCKS!
took the bottom cap off and lubed the oring and put it back together and lubed the top oring and theads a little more.
waiting for the batteries to fully charge. 
ugh… takes forever.

a follow up update.
i decided to do a little digging inside the light…. cant help myself…
my light does not use the original driver board. it uses a simpler board with a mcu, a few resistors and caps and 2 mosfets…from what i can tell by the part number… all the datasheets are in chinese but i think thats what the transistors are…
well anyway, i was under the impression that i was getting the orignal board so i contacted ric and he is shipping me an original driver board asap. great customer service.
well anyway while i was in there i hooked a meter inline with the LED feed (which also was wired differently than the original…. its still in parallel but 2 wires feed the LED’s and then + and - are jumped from one LED to the next) only got 4.5a…. hmm thats a little low and when i jiggled the light, it would flicker and get brighter here and there.
so i took the light apart and cleaned the boards of some remaining flux (driver and tail board where the springs attach) and used ilsco commercial al/cu connection anti corrosion goo on every connection where a board met aluminum of the light.
i also rewired the LEDs with 20ga teflon coated wire and reattached it to the driver through my meter. i made up some 12” 12ga leads just for this, popped the batteries in and hit the switch……
……. 10.25A……. 10.25A……
goodness…… insane……
so if any of you are getting low output, disassemble, clean, lube and possibly rewire. its ridiculous now.
so ridiculous that im thinking about making up a custom copper or brass plate where the led’s mount to help get some of the heat out of the thing.

Thanks
RIC
NEW Black King, HAIII anodising, Quality is super nice in this batch
This is bullshit. Seriously. I mean, come on Ric. Don’t you realize that I’m trying not to spend too much money on flashlights these days? That picture is just too damned nice. I’m totally blaming you when I go broke.
LOL, the Sky Ray King is looking very good. Maybe it is time to sent my DRY U2 to the retirement. I like this electronic switch on the side very much.
I finally bought a king. This king!
Got quick DHL Shipping so ill do a quick review when i get it.
I cant wait!
I just ordered one of the black ones yesterday. Ric-CN, would mine have shipped as one of the new ones?
Yes, orders placed in this week will receive NEW kings. I think you will get the tracking number from our CS next Monday.
Ric
Awesome. Thank you very much, already received my tracking number too, it just isn’t in the system yet.
How can you tell the difference between original and the simpler one? Pictures? Wonder which board I got :~
Is the difference Big If I did not get the original?
Could you please confirm the CW I ordered last week is the new batch please Ric.
Thank you.
You had to do all that to a brand new torch to get the best out of it? Or is it an older gold SRK?
