ebay 6 xml skyray king bought 2 both BAD!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/8500Lumens-SKYRAY-KING-6x-CREE-XML-XM-L-T6-LED-Flashlight-T6-Torch-Lamp-Gold-US-/251570816357?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a92ca0565
both of these fogged/smoked up.
one had 2 leds going blue from overheating.
other seemed ok till it simply died.
these dont thread into the housing like my old securitylng.
i suspect lack of thermal path to the body.
looks like the emitter plate is TAPED to the reflector!
lets see how seller handles this.

sorry for this.

maybe purchase from http://www.mtnelectronics.com/ in the future.

I got the 5 xml-2 from gearbest, apparently all the skyray kings will be like that, no originals left
Now ive got a relatively cheap skyray king host

Appreciate the warning for others.

would have ordered from mtn if he had stock.
yes posted as a warning.
got some 3 xml incoming from a source that has been good in the past.will update.
no word from seller of these junkers other than request for video and stating that they “tested” these.
yes they might live longer driven from whateverfire crap batteries but the generic laptop cells shouldnt kill these.
its not like i loaded it with vtc5’s

I ordered my ones from this aliexpress seller

They were good with ok heat sinking for the output heat sink looked like this

The price has gone up now since I bought this. I payed $29 us.

It won’t let me post photos

But the heat sink is aluminium and maby 3 ml thick

emitter plate threaded to body?

I had the same problem - no cooling at all on my SRK, i had to build my own. The best i could find is This

still waiting for a refund…seller still selling them…
in the time since seller received these back i ordered 2 from mtn.and now everyone in the shop wants one in black.placing another order….
