How thick is the glass lens?

On the King does the Glass lens sit in front of the O ring?

Glass then lens "o"ring then reflector, can someone confirm this please?

On the black SRK, - Bezel, then glass, the O ring is behind the glass, around the reflector.
There’s another on the body, at the end of the thread.

Hello everybody, I made two videos of this flashlight, bought 42€ (56$) including shipping cost :

Hello, I bought Sanyo 2600mah batteries for my SkyRay King but I can't use it because they have a flat top...

Look this :

Someone has a solution to use these batteries in this flashlight please?

Thank you for your help!

Hi. Some have used magnet 1mm x 5mm +superglued around outside edges +on positive anode of your flat top battery. Otherwise, buy proper battery.

Or a drop of solder.

Thank you for your help, finally I ordered Xtar 18700 2600mah batteries.

Anyone know how waterproof these are? :D

I have one. Trying not to drop it in a especially deep puddle as yet.

Frankly speaking. I’m not too confident about the waterproofing. The threads are quite shallow on the front bezel. The glass is not tight enough to seal the front. However, I’ve not seriously tested it.

King is not waterproof. The on/off button is not water-tight, water can seep in.

Is this the only major flaw?

If I were to replace the switch with a water-tight one, would the rest of the internals be relatively safe?

I'm talking about just quickly dropping it into water and picking it back up quickly. Not diving or long-term submersion. :P

Cheers.

I wish they made a SRK for diving…it’d be a perfect dive light

I also have a question, well, two:

Given the sheer amount of lumens that it outputs, hows the throw compared to C8 thats driven at 1Amp?
Will King throw as far and will have huge-spill like hotspot or will it be much dimmer?

Also, is there a light for <50$ that is as good or even better than King regarding light output-power?

Do you mean an XR-E based C8? It may not throw further, the C8 has a big head for an XR-E, but you will be able to see a lot more in the direction you point it.

The King can be had for around $40 now, there aren’t many excuses left not to get one :wink:

Yeah, Ive read plenty to see that it looks like a great light, I might get one depending how low the price goes during Wallbuys reservation sale :D!

Yes, its XR-E based C8, driven at 1Amp :D!

Well, if things are clearly visible at 100-150 meters/yards, then Id be very interested in it :D!

Fast tech carries the Warm White version now. Looks like it is a hot sunny light!
