Summary

It’s the little details that make the fourth version of the Skilhunt M200 a successful update. With three LED options, users can now choose between high brightness, long range, or accurate color rendering. The improved charging port should eliminate issues with water or metal shavings. And the already great UI has been further improved.

There’s not much to complain about. The slightly sharp edges on the bezel and the tailcap could be improved. In the version with the Nichia 519A, the LED is pushed to its limit in Turbo mode, which could affect its lifespan in the long run.

All in all, I’m very satisfied with the Skilhunt M200 V4. While there’s no compelling reason for V3 owners to upgrade, one of the other LED variants could still be an appealing addition.

Do you prefer the magnetic charger to USB-C charging despite the special cable?

[–] SammysHP@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It depends. In winter, when I need my headlamp every day, I prefer to use a H150 or H04 with magnetic charging, so that I can quickly (dis)connect it. I can do the same with the M200, if it needs a charge.

When I'm not at home or don't need the flashlight often, USB-C is usually easier because I don't need to take the special adapter with me or have it cluttering my desk.
