yes, there are a couple threads about that 3xml light - avoid (it uses sort of a drop-in, poor thermal path)
as far as this 26650 clone thingy - it actually looks promising.
they seem to have grafted the sk98 size lens in with a GITD gasket or something? maybe that would mean going to a larger lens wouldn’t be as hard as w/ a solid lens retainer?
i can say, after modifying a few xml zoomies - lens upgrades (wider lens) are where it is at.
maybe we’ll get really lucky, and a different head will screw onto the end of the zoom mechanism

1800 lumens… wow… thats bright!
ok seriously - its cool… i think the main appeal to me of the sk68 was that it was dang small and took aa’s… which is why i have 4 of them lol.
26650 might just be too big for me - but if you use this light for runtime then i guess 26650 would be a good option
either that or mod with sst90 and imr 26650 7amps direct drive? xD

I’m a big fan of the keygos m12 (26650 zoomie).
i agree about the reasons for the attractiveness of the sk68
but I also think there’s room for a zoomie that is big, but more compact than the m12 (I still prefer my z6).
can’t say for sure until i handle it, but I won’t buy one until I see it elsewhere…and what other versions show up.

Is it not an auction rather than buy it now? I barely looked as I really dont like zoomies but a more average price was seventeen quid.

7 Mode: high / middle / low / strobe / sos / Zoom In & Zoom Out
—————-
Actually, that might be 10 modes — zoom in or zoom out times the four light options ….
