Hi, how can I still redeem the 1$ deposit thing?
I wanted to pre-order but I was told the Nichia version was not available.

Does this PRO version have a buck/boost circuit of a just a FET one ?

What is the cost of the white MAO version gonna be? The pro model.

Also I still don’t understand how 8000 mah at 500-600 lumens flood can only do 3 hours. Should it not be able to do twice that? Is only one battery driving one side of the light or something? It’s not using all 8000 mah?

I’m doing runtime tests of the SK05 Pro MAO (high performance version) this week.

I finished runtime tests of the updated SK05 Pro (Nichia version). Here are some graphs:

I would guess that it’s buck due to having an input with two 4.2V 18650 cells connected in parallel and three LEDs for the floodlight connected in parallel with a forward voltage of about 3V.

Here are some teardown photos of the original SK05:
