I agree, the XM-L2 U2 7D4 CREE emitter in these beats the hell out of any Incan/Halogen light i ever had for output, while matching that warm Tungsten filament beautiful warm traditional tint.
It’s my warmest light by far, and yeah it’s like an incan on steroids. It gets burning hot if you leave it on for 10 minutes, as in, you-can’t-hold-it hot.
I agree that the SRK lights were limited in how much heat-sinking they could provide for the size and output they could be modded to, but I still like the fact that 6K+lumens of intruder-stopping-power can be extracted from a small light than can fit in a hoodie pocket is still impressive.
Thanks for the awesome work man! The beamshots are gorgeous. What is your preferred tints in there guys?
I’m seeing myself like the 4c warrior and the tk75 ones
It was definitely a joke recalling false capacity/output claims and not intended as a rebuke. I merely assumed the light in question was listed as it was described at the time of purchase and chuckled over the unlikely hood.
This is an older thread yes but I am interested in buying a skyray. I am a novice so don’t know where to buy from but I wouldn’t mind buying them already modded with a higher out put. Can anyone please point me in the direction of some one who sells new, genuine, already modded, skyray led light, that maybe won’t cost an arm and a leg. Thanks for all help/knowledge
There are a ton of Skyray King clones out there, and many of them real bad. its difficult to find a real original unless you can find one from a member who has one to sell. The Securitying version is not bad, and i think BrotherHuang1983 on Ebay still sold the “good” Skyray Kung 4-XM-L version, (unsure lately though) Many of the multi emitter versions, ( 4 or 5 emitters up to 9 emitters) are usullay way under driven, and all need some modifications to really get them blasting some output.
If I were to get one if those under driven lights that are being sold. How much would it cost to mod it to produce more light. How hard would it be to mod it. How reliable would the light be after the mod?
I am in the same boat you are kfxrider, I purchased one from a member here and love it. It is a 3 LED with a JB driver. I would not mind doing mods like changing the driver or reflowing LEDs on good copper… But, I would like to at least start with a shell that has a shelf and not a dropin platform or nothing behind 1 big aluminum star.
I cannot afford to chase SRK’s until I find a decent host. I could not find the listed ebay seller.
BTW, the tint on that 7D4 and the 219B looks great! Really like the 7D4!
The key thing to find is an SRK (or clone) that has a thick heat sink shelf in the body, and one with the JB driver. The JB is easy to mod to really increase output, modes are good, (3 modes with no strobes) an SRK with a custom copper shelf, XM-L2 or XP-L emitters on copper Noctigons, and a modded JB driver really makes these lights shine.
