I got my Skyray 850 today. Veery similiar to this, only 1.6A on tailcap, not very bright, I wait for new driver from KAI, hope it will move it a little bit forward, as now it doesn't surprise with light amount...
Just like mine. An underachiever. Made a nice gift.
Maybe the TR-3T6 or the TR-J12 would of been a better choice ?
TR-J12 already ordered :) But anyway I will change driver in 850.
I have just made my skyray 850 naughty. KAI driver is heeelll of the driver, mounted it, changed wires, some contact preparationa and... 3.9A at tailcap! It means 31W on the driver, this flashlight started to make sens, it makes some real illumination now :)
Thanks. I down on the MPP-1 and love it, was considering buying the M8 but only if it out-threw the MPP-1. You answered that for me. Thanks.
I just received my "Skyray 818" last week, and was googling for whether it can take 5000mah batteries, and found this review.
At first I thought I bought a lemon. Imagine my disappointment. But after comparing every photo with my torch, I realised the reviewer must have received a factory reject. Either that or the store sent him a return from someone else - and that person really banged up the torch good.
I bought mine from "redlog" on ebay. And there were no nicks, the finish was good, the lens was not loose, and it feels good in my hand. Granted, if I look hard enough with a magnifying glass for long enough, I could find a few blemishes, but I can hardly agree with the rating of "lousy" or "sucks"
If I have any complaint against this torch, it's that the seller sent it in nothing more than a cardboard box and bubblewrap - no user guide or nice retail box.
If it's me who received something like the reviewer photoed, I wouldn't even bother taking photos of it and then waste more time writing a review - I'd send it straight back for a refund and then shop elsewhere.
Glad you got a good one.
Don't do a review if dissatisfied . . . appreciate the advice.

Excellent idea!

Foy can you show pics of the driver. I'm thinking of getting the Skyray G36 and want to see if the drivers are the same.
With no due respect to FlashFreak . . .
