Thanks very much guys!
When i get home today:
-Try to unscrew the reflector and bring light to the pill
—Update with the reflector measurements -
-Update with weight measurements!
—Learn how to and do tailcap readings.-
—Battery run time tests. Brought my charger to work and charging the 26650’s now.-
Keep the requests coming!
I have this light too and it is fantastic for the price. I doubt there is an unmodified light out there for under $500 that can put out the over 3500 OTF lumens that is puppy can. Except for HID’s of course.
i have been waiting for a review of this light, first the j18, than the x100, now this. i think i am going to add this to my light farm! didn’t someone see this light for $67? guess i can put this next to my sky ray king………
ken
That was where i bought it - its $67 plus shipping which was around $19 to NY.
You can see that in the review dialog box.
This looks kinda cool I admit.
Thanks for the beamshots & reviews. It’s huge difference between skyray & m8. Skyray stings my eyes.
Updated with temp info and battery tests. When the light cools down im going to try getting to that pill.
That's one hot light. You could nearly use it to boil water.
Good job man! Hope you keep the reviews comin’
Thanks very much for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
whats next light gonna be ? 12x XML ?
Great review. Now I’m going to have to purchase it since it should easily outshine my Trustfire TR-J12.
very nice review, and ive been waiting for a review like this for the past 3 months.
ive been highly considering purchasing one but always past it up.
hay does this have more flood than the king?
Tonight when I get home from work I will post the reflector and other measurements since I just got a caliper.
And I will do a beam shot vs. The king for you.
Mine is NW though.
Just placed my order with Ric for one of these. Also ordered 3 X TrustFire Protected TF 26650 3.7V 5000mAh Li-ions from Manafont to go with it. The Trustfire batteries work so great in my J12, I see no reason they won’t perform just as well in this light.
only scared they are fakes and are not 5000mah as advertised. its about same price as king kongs raised cap 4000mah why not get them instead. ?
Manafont has been the place to purchase them from in the past. My original set of 3 were real and performed fantastic in my Trustfire TR-J12. The Trustfire 26650’s were never actually 5000mAh, but always tested from forum reports at 40000-43000mAh consistant. They are also protected cells, but I will look into the King Kong’s for my next purchase since they are getting good reviews. Thanks.
For Reference, below are the tests for the Trustfire 26650 cells as reported from members, Benckie and HKJ
That reflector is outrageous
