No, I wound up donating it to a member here. It was screwed up for sure- I wouldn’t trust a Spark for reversed polarity protection and they never got back to me about it either. I also began having problems with the SG5. The run times all significantly dropped (nearly in half) for both NIMH and 14500 batteries. Also the light flickers quite often and I have to smack it to get it to stop- until it starts again. Looks like some people had some flickering problems from that recent group buy too. Mind you I never abused the SG5 like I did the SG3, other than testing runtimes and letting it run about a dozen or more times until the light turned off. I’ve got a Fenix HL50 light coming and an Armytek Tiara I’ll do some reviews on.
I’ll get back to you on the H02, hopefully in a day or two.
Just read the SG thread again today. Seems your SG5 had some runtime quirks from the outset. I've been very happy with my SD73 and SX5, though I get a peculiar shorting problem with some AAAs in the SD73 from time to time. Still can't work out what's happening. Anyway - that's OT
No rush on the voltage issue with the H02 - whenever you get time will be fine.
I have the first version Armytek Wizard Pro (with the software bugs still in-situ) so doubt I'll be buying the Skillhunt but it seems like a pretty nice light for those who don't want to spend the extra cash on the Wizard. I was interested in the Tiara Pro so look forward to your comments on that and the HL50 in due course. Let's hope Armytek have got the Tiara right first time.
It blinks at 3.28v on high which is around the 2.5-3.0 hour mark. It does not blink at the initial 800-500 lumen voltage step down that happens in the first ten minutes of run time.
Thank you for the excellent review. I made particular note of the tint differences between the Wizard Pro and the Skilhunt. I take it that Skilhunt only offers a cool white tint?
Just for the record, I have a Spark SD52 NW 2-AA headlamp and it is rock solid in performance, reliability and durability.
As of the time being they only offer it in cool white. A neutral would be quite nice, as would a warm like the Wizard. Glad to hear about the Spark, I’m likely one of the unlucky few.
At 1:42 in the video I show using a 3400 shoshine protected cell or a panasonic 3100mah unprotected cell. I have a variety of cells at home and it takes every protected or unprotected 18650 I throw at it.
Thanks for all the information, I just pulled the trigger with on this with a great discount code. Should be a great worklight for inside electrical cabinets.
