Mine has purplish tint :(
M3TAL_L0RD, would you say that the beam of the STL has a donut hole? Looking at some of your beamshots for me it sure looks that way.
loosen the body from head slightly to go to 5 modes and tighten for 3 modes
Didn't notice in use, but now tested and it has hole in beam... when shining wall closer than 50 cm, further than that I can't see hole. On high hole is much harder to see and makes me see spot all the time :D
This is what I mean, comparable with the T40CS, it's not harsh.
Your mouse over here https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/2903?page=1#comment-86807 shows the blackhole
UniqueFire UF-2100 - High (1/8 CTO tint mod)
Mouse over: Sky Ray STL-V2 - High
High
Medium
Low
This light is from DinoDirect.
Proves nothing... camera just doesn't pick slightly darker spot so easily.
50 cm away (can't see darker spot by eye, yet)
15 cm away (can see spot easily, camera starts to pick spot about 20 cm)
about 5 cm away
Mine is different: head tightened - 5 modes, loosened - 3 modes.
^^ Indeed... But perhaps not the cause of the potential donut hole mentioned above (which at least I cannot see).
Looks like the led itself. Good thing anyway this is a thrower so it will be used just a bit further away from the target 
Actually I like the possibility of scrolling quickly through the modes by clicking the button slightly and then selecting a suitable mode pressing it completely.
Thing is, when the light is on you need to click to turn it off, select right mode by light pressing and click again to turn it on. Pretty annoying.
This is thrower, you don't need modes :)
Well, I do, low mode here is quite useful and I don't need to switch to other flashlight. Besides - forward clicky+mode is useless because you can't really use it because of unintended mode changing.
Just did some lux drop test.
Jetbeam RRT-2 XM-L, about 450 lumens OTF, LED prob at 1.4A.
1st minute = 1083
2 mins = 1077
3 mins = 1073 (0.92% drop)
4th minute = 1070 (1.2% drop)
5th minute = 1067
6th minute = 1065
7th minute = 1063
8th minute = 1061 (2% drop)
Fandyfire STL-V6 :
1022 ,1018, 1014, 1010 (1st/2nd/3rd/4th min) 1.17% drop after 4th minute
Sunwayman
T40CS : 1051, 1044, 1038, 1033 1.7% drop after 4th minute.
This time I took pictures.

Got one today for my friend.
Of course had to test it before delivering it :)
Tested it against UF-980L and I got to say, it had tough company to start with...
On a shorter distance, say 100 meters, it is easy to notice that STL-V2 has tighter spot and more lux.
Then if you compare an absolute throw in meters, there´s really not THAT astonishingly big difference.
STL-V2 throws further but after 980L it does not make my jaw drop that much. Could the difference be something like 50-60 meters? Hard to say, I don´t have a lux meter to leave up there to test.
It is now 0°C and RH is at 93%, I felt like the beam itself in the air was blinding me.
At this kind if weather, I would say I saw it doing maybe 200m+, can´t say very accurately. Measured only by cars speedometer.
You know what's funny? I've had mine for a while now and I use it all the time, yet I never realized it had two groups of modes. :D
I have always liked that feature on my Fenix lights. Anyway, thank you very much for an outstanding review.
Has anybody been able to compare STL-V2 performance with Crelant 7G5 yet?
+1
Well I have a Olight M3X which this light here is pretty much a clone of. I have a Crelant 7G5 coming. I'll let you know who the winner is? I say it is going to be close.
