[JaffoAZ]

+1. Of course I want them too.

Yeah, just nail the lid on my wallets coffin, I dare you!

mags,

If you want to see my best single XM-L thrower if your intersted, you can read this.

My EagleTac M3C4 with the new updated driver will even beat my Crelant 7G5. And that is hard to do.

He doesn’t own the TN31 yet I think he will although there was mention of the Elecktrolumens monster also….

Check out TurboBBs posts for the Thrunite vs some others

This or that big assed halogen ilf has, or any of the plethora of 1M candle power huge reflector spot lights.

Their all basically a h4 bulb, 7+” reflector, 12v battery pack and a shoulder strap lol.

I’m thinking of fitting mine with a 14.8v li po pack, and before someone says it’ll blow the bulb, stick your multimeter on your cars battery terminals….

If your car is running right you’ll be max 14.4 volts. At full charge a 4S lipo pack will be at 16.8 volts. You’ll definitely be shortening light bulb life considerably if you run it at those kinds of voltages. 3S works perfectly for all 12v nominal uses. It peaks at 12.6v.

What are some links to some of the recent few good ones that have been mentioned?

[AlexGT]

Nope, you just need a 75 cent trimpot and a little soldering, Mine works just fine, see here:

Modded: Small Sun ZY-T13 3.2 Amps or Sunwayman T40CS Clone

Modded readings scroll down! I am going to talk about the Small Sun ZT-T13 from Manafont, I first learned about this light by reading BLF member POK here I liked the looks of it, it is very much like the Sunwayman TC40CS but at a fraction of the cost, want to know how good is it? Read on. Light as pictured on Manafont [image] The light came nicely wrapped in very thick bubble wrapping, I am sure there were no dings or chips during shipping, but the light did had some small chips in the anodi…

@Old-Lumens

So what I need to do is find a used ZY-T13, put in a 5700k U2 and a 3.5amp 7135 driver with four 2/3A NiMH high discharge rate batteries in it, right?

How much room is there for a heat sink?

@gords1001

Johnny, your not doing a good job of convincing me not to buy that smallsun….

Yep, very poor job. I sense I’ll be $25 poorer quite soon.

I don’t know about you all, but I need beamshots!

Just for you buddy.

Small Sun ZY-T13 - these were all taken on 1.4 sec shutter, f/4 and ISO 400

I just got done taken these. Perfect dark nite to take pictures here with a super clear nite.

350yds

220yds

100yds or so up the street

[JaffoAZ]

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh

[garrybunk]

Thanks bud! Awesome!

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

I will add that those are probably just a little on the overexposed side. But they should give you a good idea.

Your welcome.

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

And the middle picture it’s not 220yds to that pool rather the last electrical pole and the trees in the far background. Just so you know.

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

mags,

I finally got access to my pictures again since the site was down.

This is about what you can expect with the FandyFire STL-V6 at 350yds.

Manual exposure of 1.4 sec shutter, f/4 and ISO 400

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

This will let you see on the same exact settings and distance how that FandyFire above will compare to the Sunwayman T40CS.

[Saint_Jimmy90]

How does the sunwayman clone stand up to the original? Im obviously guessing it loses in many aspects, but by how much? Does it still give the original some competition?

[mags]

@ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS

This will let you see on the same exact settings and distance how that FandyFire above will compare to the Sunwayman T40CS.

Is the Trustfire X8 comparable to the Fandyfire STL V6? I know there is a comparison out there with beamshots but over all is it really worth the purchase? I already have the X8. Would I need to go one step higher with the Trusfire X6 or perhaps the Crelant 7G6 or V9 to see a big difference?

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

Well I need to take a better one with my Crelant 7G5 at 350yds.

But I can show you some other shots with my Crelant 7G5 if it will help. The new EagleTac with the updated driver is currently my best single XM-L thrower.

Here’s 2 at about 100yds or so.

Same settings as the others.

Ok here’s the Crelant 7G5 at 350yds same settings.

Here’s the EagleTac M3C4(updated version)

Thank you for the comparison beamshots…well done photos. Looks like the Fandyfire comes out as a no brainer in this shootout.

[ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS]

Well now those last 2 were my better XM-L throwers.

But like I said for under $50 if there is a better XM-L thrower for the money than the FandyFire STL-V6, I sure don’t know of it. But $ for $ the Small Sun ZY-T13 is probably the better deal for $24. But I still would rather have the FandyFire.
