Sky Ray STL-V2 - High - 5x Zoom (F/5.9, 1/8 sec., ISO1600)

First hay bale about 165 meters and second about 235 meters away.

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 :(

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!

Got my STL yesterday, took 9 whole days :-). Had fun playing in the dark. Very impressed with the throw.

The pill in mine (ordered from DinoDirect on 24th October) looks a bit different

Some indoor comparison shots:

Mine is hybrid of these 2 :D

Bought from Manafont.

As soon as I get mine from DD for $36.49 I will post pics.

^ Please do - let's see if your bargain calculated in USD differs from mine calculated in Euro's

I used the Save15 code someone gave these codes on this site.

My pill looks the same as yours , also bought from DD.

I'm hoping that the picture doesn't do this justice. This light is considered to be one of the best XM-L throwers around and I can barely see the hay bale at 235m. I don't own a dedicated thrower but hearing numbers like 400-500m distance then seeing this at 235m I must admit I'm a little disappointed.

Seeing a reflective sign at 350m means nothing since if it wasn't reflective you'd never see it. Make a building or tree visible at that distance and it will mean something. One day I will get a thrower and this light (FandyFire version) and the Crelant are the ones being considered. Now I'm not sure.
