The SmallSun ZY-T08 $29.30 copy of the Ultrafire UF T60
Manafont has the serial version SMALL SUN ZY-T16 for $29.09
I don’t know which one to get I wanted the Ulrafire but that’s selling for $80-90, now I can get both smallsuns for the price of the Ultrafire. I hope it’s got a solid pill and the quality is better than old Smallsun’s
SOmehow “bling” design doesnt seem compatible with this not so prettyx form with unusual proportions.
I think it looks great. One of the best looking lights I have seen in a while.
The manafont one can use extension tube and use 2x18650… hmmm interesting too. I never had seen that before…
LInk maybe?

That's a good looking light. I definitely prefer the T08 parallel cell design over the T16 series. Would like to see beam shots of the T08 in real world testing.
SmallSun seems to have really kicked up their quality judging from these pics and by the T13 I just received the other day. A simply outstanding lit for the money. The best light you can buy for $24!!
Now that i revisit the pictures I see it IS a parallel design.
JohnnyMac: Do you have a luxmeter to measure throw for that T13 ??
I do indeed. Lux meter and IS. Not sure I can do it real soon but I will try to get something. I have a long overdue review to get together then I think I will do a full review on the T13.
Sweet :-)
Looking forward to seeing that. I always enjoy your reviews although I may not totally agrees with all aspects of them. Guess it is a taste thing.
Here's the UltraFire version . . .

The input voltage specification is for 2 cells in series.
Any info on the reflector size?
Haha I wonder if Ultrafire gets mad when their lights are cloned 
I agree. It’s on my to do list.
This light just needs a 75mm reflector and a 82mm head diameter.
I’m tempted… 2*18650 in parallel, big reflector, I’d probably try to get a NANJG105C in with 3.5A and a copper core XM-L T6 3C. I hope the thermal path is good and the driver can be changed easily. There should be enough space behind the battery contact plate. Still hesitating though.
The thermal pathways/heat management of this light look to be outstanding. The aluminum is thick around the pill, in addition to five deep fins directly around that.
If it's like the UltraFire, it could handle some serious current, no problem.

I’m looking forward to your review of the Ultrafire uf-t60. I’d like to see how well the Small Sun ZY-T08 compares to the Ultrafire.
If it’s anything like the other new smallsun “big” lights, it should be pretty decent in quality. Functional machining with fairly straightforward electronics (pwm, etc). It’s just a tradeoff of how much you’d like to spend. Personally, it’s probably worth getting the real deal if it’s a daily user light, but the clone is just a fun to play with.
