Cyansky K3<\/a> in particular was a nice alternative to Fenix\u2019s PD series lights. Well Cyansky is at it again, and we know tactical-style and tactical use (there\u2019s a difference) flashlights are a big deal these days, and with each manufacturer one-upping each other the first edition K3, while still relevant, is showing its age. <\/p>\n\n\n\nToday I\u2019ll be taking a look at the updated K3<\/strong>. It\u2019s still a far-throwing tactical-style light, has a tail switch and e-switch, and retains the nifty glass-breaking nobbles on the bezel. What\u2019s changed? The output has been increased a bit, as has the beam distance (from the added output, no doubt). The side e-switch is also new, and there\u2019s an important functional addition as well. That\u2019s basically it though, so let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPackage quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This is a retail package so it has a hang tag and the presentation is conducive to retail displays. The familiar blue and white colors, feature blurbs, and specs are accounted for here, and it\u2019s basically identical to the first edition. Inside, the light rides in a molded plastic carrier with all the accessories efficiently arranged underneath. Here\u2019s what you get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Cyansky K3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2 spare o-rings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Spare switch boot<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lanyard<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- USB A to C charging cable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cyansky BL2150U 21700 battery (loaded in the light)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- User manual<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Warranty card<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Holster<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This is a proper assortment of accessories, including everything needed to get going. The battery has integrated charging which is important because most buyers of this light probably don\u2019t have standalone chargers or 21700 batteries. It featured a plastic isolator to break the electrical connection and was sitting at 3.7 volts. I’m glad to see Cyansky included a nicer lanyard this time and a proper holster.<\/strong> Thanks Cyansky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
