Sky Ray King

Comfychair or someone should give the Aleto SRK lookalike with a handle a go… A nice looking black alternative. If there is a lottery on the typical black SRK kings in that price range one could just gamble on the Aleto…

Thread about it here.

Wow!!! Those emitters are pumping out 2000 lumen each!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

That thing looks pretty cool! =)

Looks like a crappier version of the Apex 5T6.

It’s 4x18650 so it just has a HUGE head. /Back to SRK

Chinese lumenz… Best there is… :stuck_out_tongue:

Just because It have a handle I dont see how it compares to that light. The Apex 5T6 have 5 small reflectors and a much larger head and a reverse clicky. Generally different size.
The Aleto have similar triple reflector like the king and similar size, similar electronic button and for many, a much desired medium mode.

I think it looks nicer and cleaner than a SRK. Despite the handle, which might be annoying on such a small light. Would only take 1 minute to remove it, and not too much work/modding would be needed to make it nice and flat on the back so that it could tail stand.

When all that is said, cant wait to get my Gold 32$ SRK from Wallbuys. But if I could have bought the 40$ Aleto withouth import taxes, I would have gambled on that just to try a different light. If the driver was crap, I could always do a complete rebuild and use the light as a host… :slight_smile:

Divide by 3, it’s Chinese lumens…

I bought the black XMLU2 cheaper version from Fasttech. First one was DOA and I have just received it’s replacement 2 days ago. Seems to be pretty bright but I have never had one before to compare it with. The threads were fine (needed to be oiled) and switch is tight but the machining on the aluminium bezel is bad ( sharp edges and machining marks) and the lense is very thin, it may not even be glass as advsertised. Definately a lucky dip.

You sure the threads are OK? Unscrew the head about one turn, then lift/push/pull/wiggle the head. Does it flop all around and feel like you could almost pull the head off over the threads if you wiggled it in just the right way?

No, it seems tight. No wiggling at all.
I actually like the light but I havent had it for long so we will see. I am more worried about the lens. It will not last.

I been looking to aquire a black SRK, but with Warm white XM-Ls, Im not having much luck finding any for less than $ 55 bucks. any links or knowledge of where to find one ?

With BLF coupon code it’s even a little cheaper. I got this one, mine is of good quality, only output is probably lower than (good) CW versions, but i definitely prefer a warmer tint so for me it’s worth it, only the lanyard is a cheaper one than in the pictures. recommended :slight_smile:

Yeah and all you need to do is build a time machine and go back to a few weeks ago and buy one from before their supplier switched to the cheaper version that looks like it was machined by a drunk 12 year old!

What is the best BLF coupon code ? ( i remember there being a couple different ones)

I’ll give you a hint. It’s contained in your sentence and it’s in ALL CAPS.

I don't get it. Can you spell it out for me?

Ok i remember that one. Thanks

I…T…

I bought my KINGs from CNQG when they first came out. I just took delivery of 3 Black KINGs from CNQG as well, in-fact that batch just recently came in as it was out-of-stock beforehand. I tried several times to get some black ones and I wasn’t going to play the lotto game, so I waited.

I’ve been around long enough to know who has the real original ones; while I think cnqg is very slow because of the 3rd party shipper they use, never-the-less they are the real deal. In comparison to the very first KINGs I bought from them when they first hit the marketplace, these are even a little brighter because of the L2 U2 emmiters, the finish and fitment is 2nd to none; they simply are beautiful. I also have the TM’s so I can easily compare them and I’m very happy with the Black KINGs from CNQG. NO I’m not a faneboy for CNQG or anyone else, don’t believe me? take a look around I slammed them on another light that I didn’t agree with the way people received it, I call them the way I see them and shoot from the hip.

You want a “personal guarantee”?? pay me a fee and yeah I’ll do that. :party:
