Summary

The Loop Gear SK05 Pro MAO really has a lot to offer: powerful floodlight, long-range spotlight and a multi-colored side light. Operation is intuitive, using a rotary switch combined with a push button. The batteries are easy to swap โ€“ a rare feature for a flashlight of this kind. The impressive MAO surface finish feels unexpectedly smooth and has a ceramic-like quality. Its irregular, cream-gray coloration resembles stone or concrete, giving it a truly distinctive character.

Unfortunately there's no true moon mode. The side light's "white" setting doesn't make an adequate substitute, since it lacks dedicated white LEDs and the red, green and blue mix looks rather unnatural.

What's the deal with this new style of flashlight I keep seeing? What's the benefit?

Won't roll and looks cool. Scifi movies always have flashlights with multiple bulbs to look futuristic.

I watched "Heads of State" yesterday and the bad guy had one of those dual 1911s. It was not in any way relevant to the plot, I guess the director just thought it looked cool or something.

I can only imagine what firing that would be like.
