Saw a review of the upcoming SK05 Pro gen 2 and the guy mentioned that there's luminescence that was also there on the gen 1, which you can see in the screenshot. Looks like aux lights but apparantly it's just glow in the dark. Didn't recall anyone mentioning that when it came out. Was wondering if it actually is a thing or if it's a China specific feature.
For those interested in the gen 2:
From what I've gathered on chinese sites, sidelight now has high CRI bi colour lights in addition to the original RGB strip. That makes it actually useful as a 90 degree magnetic light now since those bi colour lights have increased the output from just for fun to useful (120lm).
Flood went from 3000 lumens up to 3800 (roughly same throw, 11000 candela) and spot went from 1300 to 2500 lumens (again no significant increase in throw, but the hotspot and spill are now wider at around the same brightness. 41000 candelas). No idea about emitters, doesn't seem to be mentioned by anyone I've seen (Im guessing they switched from sft25r into an sft40 for spot?). UV emitter on the UV models will be a black spot on the sidelight.
If you're interested in cosmetic changes, someone else posted their SK05 UV pro ii here: https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/1rzvsga/comment/oed33di/?context=3 Changes are mainly the dial and USB C port cover, also moved the lanyard location and smaller text. There's also now a cover for the clip attachment slot if you don't want to use a clip. Batteries remain at 2x 4000mAh. You can see the UV emitter too.
Pretty excited about the light, if they add a laser and glass breaker beads to the front plus a rear tactical switch on the gen 3 (maybe even swap out one of the flood emitters for a red led for two channel flood) they will have built my dream light imo.

2,500 sounds like an SFT42T not an SFT40. It’s actually a downgrade from an SFT25R because peak throw will drop faster and sustained throw will be lower.
