The 400 Lumens Challenge (Part 5): Skilhunt M300 V2 Nichia 144AR

Welcome back to the 400 Lumens Challenge!

  • Part 1 - 3 KR1 Flavors Face Off! [here].
  • Part 2 - FFL X4Q Comet [here]
  • Part 3 - Wurkkos TS30S Pro [here]
  • Part 4 - Fireflylite T9R (FFL909MX) [here]

Can’t believe it’s been over three weeks since the last round :open_mouth:. Autumn’s been busy!

A lot of people around town recently lost power. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky ones who kept electricity. My lights didn’t get any workout this time.

As mentioned earlier, this round features a non-Anduril flashlight, the Skilhunt M300 V2, because one of its preset modes happens to land almost perfectly at 400 lumens. Perfect fit for this challenge.

As you will guess, the only standard rule that applies here (since this one is non-Anduril) is the cell used:

  • VapCell N40 + adapter (for consistency, even in 21700 lights)

Here’s the setup:

Brand Model LED CCT Driver Cell Set Level Ambient
Skilhunt M300 V2 Nichia 144AR 4500K (default) VapCell N40 High 18°C


For this first graph, I compared with two other flashlights using LEDs around 4500 K:


Honestly… not much drama with this one. I don’t have much more to say about
the result (•_•)

Next up: an Emisar DW4 (mule) equipped with 519A 3500K (with dome) and a
boost driver.

Stay tuned!
