8000 Lumens…HID
Very nice, wonder if CNQG will get it or an enhanced version of it.
1st thought that came to my mind was a copy of the olight x6 marauder, but this skyray is much smaller and not to mention much cheaper.
This probably won’t touch the X6 marauder in terms of output or throw.
My guess is it will output close to 2500 lumens with maybe 20-25k cd.
Can an XM-L run on such low current? I guess it can.. I wouldnt even power this up before taking it apart and removing the driver. This light is begging for direct drive of 4x 18650's [quote=Slewflash] This probably won't touch the X6 marauder in terms of output or throw.

And it should output as much as an X6...
Isn’t this the Apex seen the other month?
Have to say I do find it amusing, if anyone so much as breaths ‘Led Lenser’ you get people telling you they are rubbish as they are direct drive (even though not all of them are). Yet frequently it seems lots of people suggest or want direct driven lights by other makers 
Just counted the XM-l's on my Apex and its 1 short of this Skyray, at 5 LED's. It looks almost identical. Whats interesting is if a search is done to earlier Apex threads a number of members ask for an addition of a 6th XML in the center. At the time i wondered why? Now im looking at this and its obvious why. Apex has an empty section directly in the center. In regards to Directdrive since getting my hands on a few multi-emitters and a lack of high powered drivers that can support 5 or 6 properly driven XML's Directdrive seems to be a viable and working solution. I think Vinny at CPF runs he's 5 x XML Apex direct drive and commented it flat out is the brightest torch he's ever seen.
We are talking about the Olight X6 (5000 lumens and 110k cd), not the trustfire X6.
Thanks.
You are correct about the Apex being 1 XM-L less. My mistake fully (but then I don’t own one).
About Direct Drive, sorry I just being a little cheeky…. but purely based on some observations about different lights and how for some it’s seen as really bad (even if they don’t do it…) while for others it seems wanted (HD2010).
lol. :D
i wonder how much more flood i would get outta this vs my king. cant wait for some beamshots. i really like this model
I was referring to the Olight X6. If both are using the same LED's and the Olight X6 is regulated i cant see why the same application will not produce as much output if not more with direct drive? My assumption is that all the LED's are being driven at peak performance on both the X6 and this new Skyray...Which im really liking. Its a big assumption but im curious to hear the rebutles
What makes you assume that this light will drive each xml to reaching 830 lumens each, all while being in the same host with relatively little heatsinking?
If it did that thr whole thing would be untouchable.
Also that fact that chinese manufacturers are not known for driving their lights very hard.
Think about what you’re saying. You think this little light will produce 5000 legit lumens without any other side effects? Why do you think the X6’s entire body is just a heatsink? If it was 5000 lumens that would be more than my 85W HID.
Also an xml would need to be run at about 3.5A to reach 830 lumens. 3.5*6 = 21 amps. This uses 4 18650s. Thats 5.25 amps to each battery. There’s no way direct drive would be higher than that. Battery life would probably be around 20 minutes run on high.
Tl;dr: 5000 lumens is absurd for this light to produce, but have any rebuttals (real ones, not baseless assumptions)?
Pretty badass.
I’d love to see how it compares to the Skyray King. I’m sure this one is brighter, but not sure I would pay the better part of double a Kings price for this one.
Slewflash, I think he was planning on making it direct drive.
But my argument is that the light in question won’t outperform the X6, direct drive or not.
I love your signature! If only there was a way that it could record members locations. 
I think that would be illegal if it could.
Why? It would do the same thing the forum does, it would just log the IP address and associate it with a username. Or am I completely off-base here?
Well I interpreted your ‘record members locations’ as recording where they live (which I don’t think is possible). Do you mean the general area from where they are posting? As in suburb or city? Because the closest I can locate my own IP is roughly 30 km away from where I actually am.
I don’t think I completely understand what you are saying.
