In my other SRK thread "The Securitylng", I said that there were two sellers that shipped in the US, so there shouldn't be a long wait.
Well the second one came today, Priority Mail. It's from a new ebay seller, but since it ships in the US, I took a chance.
Came in the standard white box.
With the manual and lanyard.
Looks like an SRK. No nicks, dings or scrapes that I see and it looks as good as any other SRK I have seen.
These are XM-L and they are advertised as T6
The Bezel and the Button are Aluminum.
The tail cap will Not come off without heating.
From the seller's photos, I thought this would be the three torrid driver, but as you can see, I have been duped again!
I don't know which driver yet, but it sure isn't what is in the ebay photo!
OK, so it works... It has the normal two modes H/L and the strobe. It is not bright!
My amp readings were only 4.5 amps on High and 500mA on low.
Fit and finish is as good as any other King I have handled. Possibly a little looser at the body to head threads.
I would NOT recommend this light, unless you just wanted to strip it down and mod it, which is what I will have to do. It's not bright and it has a no name driver in it, which is a lie, if you go by the ebay photos.
Buyer be warned...

Not much to tear down really.
I use a needle nosed pliers to turn out the switch housing.
To get the switch out, I just turn it over and rap it against my palm a few times. It usually will come free enough for me to get to it that way.
There's a lot of things you can use to push the driver out with. I am using bent nosed tweezers here.
I just get the nose in there and I feel around the edge of the driver and select a spot that feels like a bare spot, where I won't ruin a component and then I just push straight down till the driver pops out.
What a mess. Another useless driver. Three fets this time, one per channel.
K1 & K2 are for the switch wires. L1+, L2+ & L3+ are for the positive led leads and L1-, L2- & L3- are for the negative led leads.
The led shelf also unscrews in this light. I took it out and then separated the reflector by removing the screw underneath.
That's about it. I will be doing something with it, but I am not sure what yet. This will be my replacement light for the 4C that I was going to use at work. They can't bitch about this one being too long... Next they will bitch about it being too bright and might blind an attacker - pansies...
