There is a picture from the driver. Sorry for the delay, but I didn’t have got time.

Long live indeed! Just got this light today from BG and it totally rocks out! I love it!
Forget the King with its unpredictable build quality! Just go with the Warrior!
I decided I could use one for work so I ordered a Warrior from Fastech on April 9th. It showed up in the mailbox today! Talk about fast. That’s eight days from China to the middle of the US. And the light doesn’t disappoint. This thing rocks :bigsmile: It’s even a little more throwy than I was hoping for. Good quality too. What else can I say? Totally worth 37 bucks.
What does this mean? I realise zerp is zero but what is this about locking it out?
Ability to “lock out” a flashlight is when you can loosen the flashlight head to break electrical contact and prevent battery drain and accidental bump turn-ons. I find it takes more than 5-10 degrees to “lock out” the Warrior, but it does lock out when you loosen it: its easy to see if it is or not, just try to activate the buttons afterwards.
Thank you. I’m revisiting this as an option since the Sun Ray King was recommended to me a few times on here. I’m coming through the thread but so far owners of both seem to favour the Warrior a lot better. If only it was 4 cells (I have 4 and wanted to use them all in a single torch - no redundant cells).
Have you considered the Supfire M6? 4 x 18650 and better heatsinking, more lumens then SkyRay King.
Yes I have just been looking at that.
I found a link to a site on BLF (http://www.mtnelectronics.com/opencart/index.php?route=product/product&path=80&product_id=250) for just 38USD but there is no shipping to the UK.
I looked at Fasttech and DealExtreme and they don’t sell it.
Other than that I’m not sure what websites out there are OK/safe/good/genuine and what are not.
I don’t think there are any Supfire M6 clones yet. Any Supfire M6 you can find should be genuine. Mtnelectronics will ship internationally. The owner is RMM here on BLF. RMM’s Sales You could ask about shipping costs.
I was partially concerned about clones (hence wanted to buy from the people who mod it - very likely they don’t deal with clones) but also for webs that take your money and deliver 2 months later. I am more than a little late in getting this torch as I need to visit the greenhouse and tinker with heating in the coming days. I even charged all my cells up to max capacity a good while ago and then found out last week you shouldn’t store them like that :~
Thank you for the link to the poster here. I will ask right now.
My warrior has been having a few issues lately ,dropping down from hi after short time, only 1 led lighting and finally stopped altogether.Removed tail cap ( 2 large pairs of multi grips) and found the 3 tail cap board screws were missing,surprised the thing ever worked at all.Now with 3 screws fitted and tail cap springs braided the warrior is brighter than my SRK.
I have just sent my Paypal payment for the standard M6. Because people had been suggesting I get a SRK and then I found the M6 was better built and kind of next level SRK I think I’ve gone for the right one. The only thing I was a bit unsure about was the M6 vs torches with more crees as I had read here and there of a cree or two dying after the first year and figured the more crees the more it could lose without heading for the dustbin. Hoping the quality of the M6 means no crees dying like this.
Thanks for pointing the way tho. 
LED should not die unless you have modded it (to overdrive the LEDs) or its defective.
Interesting. My Warrior with XML2s already kills the stock SRK and M6, but now I wonder what it would do with braided springs… What batteries are you using?
From fasttech —- Press the larger button for 3 seconds to turn on/off the flashlight
Sorry but I’ll wait for reviews. I may not survive waiting 3 seconds for a flashlight to turn on….
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Then just press the other button for instant on for however long you want to hold the button, or whatever morse code you’d like.
Thanks… That’s nice…
My wallet got a bit worried…
yea my stock xml2 warrior destroys my stock srk also.
it would prolly demolish it after braiding it lol
I doubt if braided springs would make a visual difference,as the springs are not to flimsy and prob only drawing between 2 and 3 amps per spring .I did mine because I had it apart and can’t do any harm.The improvement I got would have been from fitting the spring plate retaining screws which were missing.As I said earlier I was surprised the light worked at all with these missing.Probably worth checking if any screws are missing or loose and braid the springs at the same time.I am using Santo 2800 in my light.
I had the Fandyfire version of this light. Had done spring braids and changed the original wires to thick gauge wires. However, I found that this light cannot be turned on at full high for more than 4.5 ~ 5 minutes before thermal protection kicks in to reduce the light intensity.
Not sure if this is normal or that I had not heatsinked the driver PCB to the head well enough.
Any advice?
