Summary

The Loop Gear SK06 combines a white spotlight, UV light, a laser and an omnidirectional RGBW side light in a cylindrical body powered by a replaceable 18650 Li-ion battery. It is operated intuitively using a combination of a button and a rotary switch.

The side light is particularly interesting, as it not only creates a pleasant atmosphere but also serves as a marker light (“E-Tritium”) when the flashlight is switched off, making it easier to locate in the dark. The battery can be charged directly inside the flashlight via USB-C and it can also be used as a power bank when needed.

The overall impression is somewhat diminished by the fact that the position of the rotary ring cannot be identified by touch in the dark. I also get the impression that the flashlight’s full potential is not being utilized in Turbo mode. Charging takes longer than expected and the bright charging indicator can be annoying.

Nevertheless, overall the SK06 was a pleasant surprise for me. It is rare to find such a wide range of features in such a compact body, especially in combination with a replaceable battery.
