    Introduction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Since Dave reviewed the Cyansky H5<\/a> way back in 2021, Cyansky has been busy releasing new lights. I reviewed their K3 tactical light in 2021, and later their HS6R headlamp. Both were decent performers with unique features. The 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\n

    Today 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\n

    Package 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
