Review: SkyRay STL-V2 XM-L T6 3 or 5 modes adjustable

Thanks for the update. good to know its still good. I dont know how much MF has sold, probably not that much with the cheaper fandy at dx. so they probably still have the first run available. just ordered some 18500s to make it a bit shorter. mine is still going with regular use. i find it too bright for some applications but its still amazing outside in full darkness.

I have bought a second one (Fandyfire version from DX).

The output is almost identical compared to the first one. (man I love this light!)

anyone has a link for a cheap AR coated lens??

Great quality here:

I bought 2 x UCL for my DRY triple XM-Ls and 1 acrylic diffusion lens. Unfortunately they do not have 59mm size which the STL-V2 or Fandyfire STL-V6 needs.

Even more spam, Mable? Why am I not surprised?

Ordered, and now I'm running on walls and waiting impatiently :D

Did you order the Sky Ray or the Fannyfire? I have the Fannyfire and am pleased.

First ordered FannyFire but it was back ordered (DX site says ships 4-7 days), canceled that and ordered Sky Ray from Manafont.

EDIT: And Manafont is fast as usual... ordered yesterday, they dispatched today :)

Which Fannyfire?

STL-V6 of course :)

Now is good time to buy this from DD

Nice beamshots! Sky Ray STL-V2 is a good thrower

Now some serious distance beamshot :)

F/2.7, 1/4 sec. & ISO4000

And same with 5x Zoom

F/5.9, 1/4 sec. & ISO4000

Yes, I know latter is dimmer :(

And just "one" more shorter distance shot.

Mouse over: Sky Ray STL-V2 - High

Trees about 175 meters away.

Nice shot! Based on this one, I would say on a cold & dry winter day this throws even some more. 200m of throw would be very conservative, even with humidity.

Now i get the idea of throw-capabilities much better, thanks.

Nice beamshots M3tal_lord. I also got this light, couldn’t pass up a good deal. Hopefully I will have it next week.

Thanks for posting these. great shots! Never did do any extra mods as cooling has been sufficient. Have been using 2 18500s

Ordered this from DD on the back of this review, got it in 11 days. Well pleased with the quality, just need it to get dark now!
