Summary

The Skilhunt MiX-7 Gen 2 is a successful update of the little multi-color flashlight. Finally it delivers what its name suggests and you have the option of mixing the colored LEDs with each other. With the long Plus version you can now use 18650 batteries for a longer runtime.

The UI is still not perfect, but it is an improvement on its predecessor. For example, the UV light is a little hidden to activate. On the other hand, it is not an easy task to design a UI for so many functions with just one button. It would be nice to be able to adjust the brightness of the mixed colors.

Thanks! I didn’t realize that it used AA. I had somehow thought it was 14500-only, like the D2.

Added: I think I will order one! The 1lumens review is informative. There are some annoying issues but I like the 1.5V AA format, and the light is quite affordable. A dual fuel D3 would also be great.
