I went through a buying spree over this last two months and spent WAY more than I should have so now its time to try and recoup some money for bills and moving expenses! My loss but will be passing it on to a good home! I bought this Sky Ray M4 earlier last month and it took over 3 weeks to get here! I was one of the lucky buyers in a few ways; others have reported getting DOA lights due to shipping mishandling (luckily the seller is replacing them but they are having to wait 1-2 months to get a working light) and also many buyers are reporting waiting over 1-2 months to get their first light!!!! Good news is this light is already in the states and ready to ship.
Details from the seller:
100% Brand New
Made of high quality 6061T aluminum alloy, this flashlight is sturdy and durable enough for long time daily using
Lamp base: CREE, high power LED. With a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours or more, no need to consider replacing the cap for the whole life.
Waterproof, but don't put it into water long time
Super Bright, blinding Effect
Crenellated strike bezel for enhanced self-defense
3 Mode: high low strobe
Bulb: 4x CREE XM-L T6 LED
Switch Location: Tailcap (middle)
Max output: 6500 lumens
Power by: 4x 18650 3.6v/3.7v battery
Size(mm):135 x 55(bezel)/50(body)
Net Weight (g): 345g
My observations- This is not a T6 light but however a XML-U2 so this is yet another way i got lucky i guess (I havent seen a Black Kung with U2's for sale in a long time). Also im guessing conservatively that this light is doing around 2800 Lumen and not the claimed 6500 based on a XML-U2 driven at roughly 2A will give 700 Lumen and there are 4 emitters.
Light is in great shape with only one nick from packing (right on the red button accent). Pictures show how amazing this light is but unfortunately I have to sell it for bills and moving expenses (not cheap to move from MA to FL).
The UI is High Medium with a hidden strobe by holding the on button when the light is on. The manufacture calls it high low but its more of a medium since im guessing its about 50-75% of high and low is normally 5-25% of high. also as you can see from the photo i used 4x sanyo flat tops and the light worked fine. total use of this light is literally under 5 minutes. Light also works with less batteries so if you really want a low mode it can run off as little as 1x 18650!
Baseline photo (small amount of light coming in from tiny windows at ceiling height):
High
Medium
800 Lumen Convoy C8 vs Sky Ray M4 (C8 is a T6 so this shows the difference as well)
Ceiling bounce test
The little scratch from when they packed or assembled the light
High medium comparison didnt come out well so im getting some outdoor shots tonight to also show how much flood and throw this light has. its supposed to be a flooder but this thing has a ridiculous amount of throw as well (200 yards easy)! Also getting a better ceiling bounce photo that shows the light in it as well as how it lights up a pitch black room to perfect daytime light.
Finally, I am looking to get $45 shipped SOLD (lower 48) for this (light will arrive in 2-4 days not the 3-7 weeks from china if bought else where). I am willing to ship international but buyer pays added shipping. May trade for a laser or something along that lines but really hoping to get some money for gas to drive to FL. Offers are always welcome, worst I could say is no, right :thinking:
If you want any specific photos please let me know and ill do my best to get them for you ASAP
Thanks for looking
EDIT: Batteries not included
