It came from Aurabuy, just like Feilox’s link. This one is so good I would recommend you stick with Aurabuy since I’ve heard others who seemed to get inferior lights. This one has “Jacob A60” printed on it (some have no printing), doesn’t have mode memory (good), and doesn’t seem to have any heat issues.
This light will give you what you want - has better distance than the HD2010 and the 08, and is available for $37 - a hell of a price for the Skyray STL-V2.
Its throw is a little better than the Jacob A60 - have had both side-by-side - but the difference is the amount of light down range. Pumping out up to 1000 lumens on target instead of 250 or so. Excellent torch - and if you do choose to dedome it you will be looking at 110-175k lux (my best one) - depending on mods you do. Standard is 48-52k lux.
Lightmalls good to deal with. If you want to spend just a little more, at $59 you have this evolution of the Skyray from Maxtoch - the SN6X-2S. Has 40% more output than the Skyray at 69-72k standard:
Just a heads up I read through a whole thread on the Fandyfire stl-v6 (comparable to the skyray stl-v2)
Some get stuck with a 5 mode single group instead of the listed 2group, and some also have plastic instead of metal reflector. (These were from wall buys and FASTTECH, no idea what tmart has)
MonkeyMan77, do you own HD2010? If yes, is yours direct drive? If yes, its quite hard to beat for less than 50$ unless you want a "pencilbeam thrower" or let someone mod your HD2010 or a similar light.
ZY-T08, STLV6 etc etc all have pretty similar reflector size (normally same width) as the HD2010. That basically means that the light with the highest emitter amps wins assuming similar emitter. Those lights often/normally have around 2 - 3A to the emitter.
If you want maximum throw, dedomed emitter is the way to go.
Let someone mod your HD2010 (if you have one) or buy a ZYT08 and let someone mod it..
Example (some prices could be slightly off):
ZYT08 22,85$ (from WB)
XM-L2 U2 A1 on Noctigon and dedomed 6,5$
AR lens from fancyflashlights: 2,5$
Total: 31,85$ without driver and misc.
Some driver options:
1- Basically free, stock driver but resistor modded
2 - Qlite with several extra 7135s, say 5$
3- SST90 or TR-3T6 driver combined with batteries in series mod and preferably resistor mod for up towards 7A to the emitter (around 6$)
If someone is going to build you a light and ship it to you, then you probably have to pay 50$++ or more depending on the mod and how cheap they do the job. But then you could end up with a light that would crush basically everything.. :)
