Zak Reviews<p>Review: Skilhunt H200 - an all-purpose right-angle headlamp with white and red </p><p>The Skilhunt H200 is a midsize right-angle flashlight and headlamp with two white LEDs and one red, powered by an 18650 size Li-ion rechargeable battery recharged internally with a USB-magnetic cable. The right-angle light is perhaps the most versatile category of flashlight since it can be used as a handheld flashlight, a headlamp, clipped to gear or clothing, or attached to surfaces with its magnetic tailcap. Someone who wants one flashlight for all use cases will be well served by a light like this, as long as none of those use cases involves illuminating things much past 100m.</p><p><a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/flashlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flashlight</span></a> <a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/flashlights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flashlights</span></a> <a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/EDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EDC</span></a> <a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/EveryDayCarry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EveryDayCarry</span></a> <a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/headlamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>headlamp</span></a> <a href="https://social.goodanser.com/tags/headlamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>headlamps</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lemmy.world/c/flashlight" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>flashlight</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://zakreviews.com/skilhunt-h200.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">zakreviews.com/skilhunt-h200.h</span><span class="invisible">tml</span></a></p>

Emitter swap: Luminus SFT40 4000K high-CRI into a Skilhunt M200 v3

Kaidomain sold a handful of these LEDs last fall and I made the mistake of buying only two. Rumor has it they were engineering samples, and may never be produced in large quantities.

Unlike the 3000K model, efficiency is not much worse than the low-CRI SFT40. I see 1400 lumens from this flashlight, and 250m throw. The increased throw over the original 519A is most welcome. Color rendering index is 92, and R9 (deep red rendering) is 71, which are a bit lower than the 3000K. That's probably responsible for the higher efficiency.

I noticed a broken bond wire after I took this picture. I'm glad it has extras.

Meanwhile, a cheaper brand like Rovyvon uses standard USB-C chargers and in some cases can use AAA along with an integral rechargeable battery. I don’t want to be stuck at my middle-of-nowhere farm in New Mexico waiting a week or more (Amazon, for example, averages 2 weeks shipping time) for a replacement charger when I can grab a standard USB-C and plug a light in or pop in a commonly found battery like 18650, CR123A, AA, or AAA and be good to go. #edc #gear #flashlights

There’s a few reasons to not like Olight flashlights, but the thing that gets me is that they use proprietary chargers (sometimes), and their proprietary chargers do not work across all their flashlights. Thus, the charger for the Baton 4 can’t be used to charge the Odin or the Seeker 4. Even if one takes apart the flashlight to charge the batteries, they are odd sizes: 16340 or 21700, not the more common 18650 or CR123A seen in other higher voltage devices. #edc #gear #flashlights
