Budgeteer: Do you have any Solarforce L2 variants? If yes, how would you compare them against the WF-504b?
Thanks!
+2, that's what mine looks like as well.
I have only a fake solarforce L2, a uniquefire L2 and some others... pretty much on par with those.
I've got a KD 'Solarforce' L2 and a 504B. The 504B has a slightly (~1mm) narrower battery tube and has less metal in the head than the L2.
Here is another comparison photo showing the 504B, the Sky Ray, a Solarforce L2 and a Solarforce L2i
That L2i is really growing on my; I like the fact it is shorter than the others.
So, you like the L2i, do you?

Yes, I like it very much. Shorter, CHEAPER, and I like the heft of the larger diameter battery tube.
Not much to dislike about the light.
Very nice Budgeteer! It's nice to see a comparison review. As usual, great photography. Thanks for the details!
Frontpage'd and Sticky'd.
Its funny how thatL2i will grow on you. Im really loving mine. I even just ordered a new black one. I think my perfect light would be a 2mm longer L2iP.
The longer I own the L2i the more I like it. The knurling on it is better (I think) than an L2 or an L2P. Probably my 2nd fav light right now.
uh oh.
I feel it happening again. They still had those in stock, right?

Unfortunately I sold my Sky Ray, so I can't compare, but here is how the original switch looks like:
Here is a picture of a fake Solarforce L2, the 504B (use it often, so it has some marks) and my new Solarforce L2p.
I think skyray has done a remarkable job to clone the seraph. Either you hate it or love it. I like this star trek flashlights.

Now you made me order the Sky Ray. This thing is getting out of hands...
If you like the design, it's an excellent price. I will get a few more soon if they "run out". I wish the tailcap was made like the other UF hosts (internals) and the tailcap silicone rubber cover was black. No1 carry a dark grey one HA treated! Would pay 5 more easily for proper HA anodising!
A bit hard to find 16mm black tailcap covers these days...
And I would pay $5 more for a working (quality) switch... Seems my old DX one isn't working 100% either, just because I wrote that it was.
Kaidomain has also some Seraph clones. Also in silver. But no empty hosts, just complete lights. Might be tempted, but I have that Sky Ray coming...

I'm not in love with my Sky Ray's looks, but it has a nice feel to it with the two solid rubber rings on it. Nice light to handle.
I just received the Skyray (ordered on 5/8). That is the quicked shipping I have seen. The threads feel a hair cheap, but seem to function fine. The switch feels pretty good for a reverse clicky and it tailstands with a little waggle.
Unique design, but it does feel good in the hand. thanks!
