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 – 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.

8000 mAh & fast charging is a great feature. Very cool style light, I really like the textured look on it

$138 is pretty steep, but it is tempting

Do a reverse image search. That picture is used in a lot of different flashlights. It's not a demonstration of this product.

Looks like it's closer to $160 now?

Agree that it's tempting. I wish the LEDs were a bit warmer.
