Pros
- Put my lights that glow with it. ... Loop Gear SK05 Pro MAO
- I don't know about true edc, but I've had mine in my pocket all night , and only realized it when I revisited this post. There are absolutely bigger and brighter options out there, but I'm very happy with what I've got. I think I'm going...
- The powerbank feature is so nice. Normally I think I wouldn’t edc something so heavy
- It's a really great combo, and even the side light is much more usable than my Wurkkos Hd01 pro. The only things I would change is I wish the spot was more focused, and the flood as well (super floody). It's not bad at all though and muc...
- 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...
Cons
- They're not very repairable at least by a normal mortal, which is one shortcoming (of course that only comes into play if it, you know, breaks). They're press-fit and caulked shut. I still ordered one because as long as you don't have to...
- 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.
- The UI is acceptable. I wish there was a shortcut to moon – no, wait. There is no moon mode! The lowest level is 40lm. What's really annoying: Hold from off enables full power turbo with both channels simultaneously!

They're not very repairable at least by a normal mortal, which is one shortcoming (of course that only comes into play if it, you know, breaks). They're press-fit and caulked shut. I still ordered one because as long as you don't have to repair the electronics it's still a spectacular light.

I don't know about true edc, but I've had mine in my pocket all night , and only realized it when I revisited this post. There are absolutely bigger and brighter options out there, but I'm very happy with what I've got. I think I'm going to definitely check out what Loopgear does in the future. Even the look of this thing is pretty amazing.

It's a really great combo, and even the side light is much more usable than my Wurkkos Hd01 pro. The only things I would change is I wish the spot was more focused, and the flood as well (super floody). It's not bad at all though and much easier to carry than my Marauder Mini, which I also really like.
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.
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.
This was already beautiful but this color… man, it fits perfect. And with standard cells, it’s very attractive but still pricey for many people.
The MAO finish – it is amazing! The surface is very smooth and not grainy as you might think based on the color. It feels and looks almost like ceramic. I love it!
The UI is acceptable. I wish there was a shortcut to moon – no, wait. There is no moon mode! The lowest level is 40lm. What's really annoying: Hold from off enables full power turbo with both channels simultaneously!
