Sipik SK73 Zoomies-
Well they’re my first zoomies, although a mate has the SK68, which I was not impressed by.
I have not tried them at night yet.
Pretty sturdy build, they’re not crap.
18650 + XM-L T6, very small light - 11.2cm long (<4.5 inches), and 12.2cm extended.
5 modes including epileptic.
Smooth action - push in and out to zoom, recessed clicky, tailstands.
Both are reasonable quality, pretty solid, no sharp edges and would be a good gift for a child.
They lacked lube on the tail thread.
They have a clip, fairly strong, and it’s head up so that it works on a baseball cap.
I got them on ebay for $12.50 + $2 postage. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290731906106
If you want an 18650 XM-L zoomie this is one of the few besides the SK98, and this is better looking. 1600 LM ! lol. These are slightly different than the one in Ubehebe’s thread - these are black and have a different tailcap, but still have PWM in the lower modes.
I’m not going to gut one and do a full review, but will do beamshots with my C8s and UF980L eventually.
I’ve been spoiled by my C8s and C303 but suspect these would be OK for kitchen drawer or fishing bag lights. I’m not sorry I bought them.
Manafont have them for $11 ! Free shipping.
