Sorry G! :smiley: IMHO Meh, the original SRK’s were so so, but compared to the crap-ola today, yeah I could see them being envied. The Kung’s are way nicer then the SRK’s ever were, machining and build quality was the best I have seen in any and all multi emitter beer can lights back then, people just couldn’t get over the name I guess! :smiley:

The SupFire M6 was the best built soup can light I ever modded.

Now I’m gonna have to look for a Kung, thanks so much Kawi! :stuck_out_tongue:

I got that gold 12X beauty, but will try to re-use the host with a 7X reflector, maybe even a 3X. Really liking the XPL2's, but haven't tried in an SRK yet. Wonder if a 3X-5X OP SRK reflector would be best for the XPL2's, but don't think an OP exists.

4978

It is really strange you only managed 4k lumens out of that SRK. I have a similar build in a 7x and 8x SRK using the stock MCPCB and my custom shelf with left over XM-L2 pulled from other lights and they both make around 900-1000 lumens per LED with a TA driver (one of them might still be an FET+1).

4979

Interesting I thought the Kung was a quad King.

Hers is a few threads on the KUNG 7X… SkyRay Kung 7x XM-L T6 - Brief Review Which Skyray King do I buy? 3-6-7-8 leds? skyray kung and kunger!!!

The ones that I had were Silver and a very light silvery Gun Metal Grey didn’t like the Gold! :smiley:

4981

Yea, thought it was strange too. Might be the stock driver, also lack of any shelf - just the alum MCPCB. Traces on the MCPCB are probably long and poor as well.

I just bought a SRKung. For $24 shipped I couldn’t pass it up. It’ll give me something to judge the Q8 against as I don’t have a SRK light now. Yeah, it’ll be an unfair comparison.

FWIW, I saw 2 versions. One with 3 LEDs and one with the 7 LEDs.

4983

Miller, I would like the Flashlight #1040 for a 3rd light, Thanks.

4984

I just now bought this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/361453294016?\_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Where did you get your SRKung? Do you have a link? Thank you :smiley:

Not the SRKung but this was recommended as being the best SRK type light available at the moment by Mitko on here

Genuine cree XM-L2 emitters & genuine 3000 lumens with battery status indicator.
Teacher on here has one which he really rates & I have one on the way.

4986

Thank you! I like the look of this light. Would make a great modding flashlight :stuck_out_tongue: I like the charger and the indicator, not sure of the switch though. Great price. This is what I’m looking at now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tactical-SKYRAY-20000LM-10x-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Flashlight-Torch-Waterproof-4X18650-/131869477635
I want to see if the 4 emitter reflector will fit inside, I like the smooth body on this fake SRK.

4987

How appropriate that a lesser Balrog was cast out when the Valar called on Illuvatar to enforce the ban in a thread illuminated by the light of the two trees of Valinor. Sorry for pegging my geek meter, I just finished rereading the Sillmarillion for the umpteenth time. :person_facepalming:

Best mod for an SRK? Add a sink under the mcpcb, then use an SRK DD and some good emitters on copper.

4988

I saw that black and red light and maybe it was a trick of the picture, but the red looked like plastic to me. I couldn’t find where they stated what the body was made out of. I would assume (and would hope) aluminum, but I’ve been wrong before.

Here’s the SRKung that I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272055078200

Thank you for the link. I figured for 22 dollars and change I could use it for parts. I watched a couple You Tube vids and it seems to be an aluminum bezel.

4990

I was all geared up to buy a Kung direct from Shenzen this morning but their site carped out on me and took a dive so I gave it up.

4991

Yeah, I figured my eyes had to be playing tricks on me, plus they needed a place for the heat to go. Hard to believe that I would believe the worst when it comes to inexpensive Chinese made stuff. :slight_smile:

But I have to give them credit, since I got away from my initial source of lights the quality has gone up tremendously. But I’m still gun shy about it.

Please let us know how you like it.

4992

I’ll probably get xp-l hi’s , thanks :wink:

Well , thinking of choosing xp-l hi V2 , only due to the price (i can buy them really cheap) .

If my calculations are right , at 3 amp per led , difference would be 180 (well , 178) lumens .

Thing is , still thinking if i should go budget or not . Plus , i didn’t find aluminum bar for heatsink yet …
