Review: Skyray King (3xXM-L - 4x18650)

Hmmm. $68.00 for the XML2 version seems a bit pricey to me…

Fasttech has them for $40 with BLF discount.

For the black XM-L U2 version they claim: “Fasttech is now shipping the version that’s reported to be of the best quality and seemingly the most genuine”.

For the gold XM-L U2 version they claim: “This golden version is recommended over the black version for better build quality and output”. Someone posted a review 4/15/13 for the item saying the one they received was a mimic and not like what was pictured.

Metalophile, you posted above that you just received one from Fasttech for $36 delivered. Does it have the same cord and is it genuine?

pretty sure fasttech has been saying that for some time on their site

anyone got width x depth of reflector and whether this will fit?

http://dx.com/p/3-cree-reflector-smooth-aluminium-18mm-x-50mm-11922

thanks beforehand.

This reflector is too small for the SRK - 50mm is even smaller than the reflector of a MagLite 4D.

My SRK’s head diameter is about 59mm so you need maybe about 55mm to 56mm diameter for your reflector.

what I figured, just having no luck finding 1 for replacement.

Anyone help with links perhaps.

The two sat on the my bench both are 51mm diam x 18mm deep, one a FT clone no idea where the other one originated. I would guess your linked one would or be made to fit.

Should the outer edge of the beam look like a clover leaf on a wall bounce?

Only if very close to wall. This is 20cm from the wall.
Hotspot Spill

@No. 13 The edge of the spill from 15 feet away shows a zoomed pattern that you posted in the first picture. I will post a picture tonight.

Just bought this baby from FancyFlaslights (T6) with panasonic 3400mah protection cells. The individual battery costs $12 but they are selling a pack of 4 of the supposedly same battery, for $35. Is this genuine? This is less than $9 a piece! What ya think?

There's quite a critical battery crisis atm. Few things lithium are slipping out of asia in the meantime.

There's also cheaper at FastTech.

I am looking to buy this flashlight from FT with fou panasonic protected 3400mah.
Can these batteries fit in this flashlight?

Yes, easily, I have them in mine

Hi Guys,

do you think this is genuine?

Which battery, without spend too much, you suggest in this same shop?

for example those?

Many thanks

Do a search on Ultrafire batteries.

Never buy Ultrafire batteries.

You save $3-4 per cell and at best get a bad cell that poorly functions at vastly lower than stated capacity, and at worst you get a cell that explodes when charging, causes a kitten to have a heart attack and die, then your house subsequently burns down along with the cure to cancer that was hidden in your closet.

As far as the flashlight goes… Eh, it may be genuine, it might not be. There are better SRK options though…. I’ll try to find the link to the good ebay seller with the SR Kung.

I have this torch for 1 year, I use it with 4 ultrafire (probably copy) 3700, a date I’m waiting 4 NCR18650B 3400mAh

I guess I’ll see a big difference in performance?

A huge difference, and the risk of the ultrafires blowing up or setting your house on fire will go down substantially, assuming you will no longer use the ultrafires (please dont use Ultrafire batteries).

I replaced the ultrafire batteries as soon as possible

Just received my Skyray King (4X) and the rear O-ring fell (in two pieces) off the first time I unscrewed the rear cover.
Any ideas on were to order a replacement O-ring?
