This IS NOT - repeat, is NOT - the original STL-V2 Sky Ray. It isn’t even much of a copy, either, although it is powerful and throwy, it isn’t as throwy as the original and doesn’t have a 3-mode option, nor does it have a “momentary-on” feature. The body and head are smaller and beam has a few faint rings, but no “floral” patterns in or around the hotspot. The guy who is getting it will have a nice thrower, but it isn’t what many of us have as the original unit.
So I guess now that Maxtoch no longer offers their version of this light, it may be even harder to get than we thought?
Well, neither a clone, nor the original will throw with a Maxtoch 2S or 2X (still waiting on that one) if we’re talking straight lux. The Maxtoch beam is noticeably narrower and shoots out further.
Purchased same light from same place recently and it does not have the performance as the original nor does it have a selectable 3/5 mode,just a 5 mode.
