Looks like BlackShadow has released a light with all the features we've wanted in the King. Can't wait for Ric at CNQG to pick it up and offer it. I wonder what the price will be for this beauty.

I just saw this on cnqualitygoods at $62,not bad at all but specs say 1000 lumens for a triple xml-u2 is not impressive.Styling is really nice on this light and magnetic ring switch is cool too but the output is a deal breaker.One day they'll get it right,manufacturers must listen to us!
3X XML U2 and output is 1000 lumens, Very low in the lumens Dept…Looks are great.
Still, i would take a King with double the output and mod black all over it.
I love the looks and magnetic switch but till the output issue is put to rest I'm waiting.Black shadow's website does not state the lumen output of the darth for some reason,I'll shoot ric a PM about this.
i really like this light. really. so a smaller diamter head will give more flood? didnt know that.i just knew a deeper one gives more throw, so i woulda thought bigger head, more throw.
Think about a small diameter head light (balder HD-1), and why it can’t throw for sh*t. The reflector doesn’t reflect the light at the right angle, so instead of channeling it all forward, it channels some forward, but the rest bounce everywhere. More surface area = more ability to ‘channel’ light.
Pm from ric said 2.5 amps to each emitter and output close to the king.He said beamshots will be up soon,I really like this light might just have to buy it.
