Sunwayman D40A (XM-L2 | 4 x AA) Review

Great review. You really pay attention to detail!

Nice review on a great light. Seems way better than the EA4. That is the nicest battery carrier I've seen yet and the light is bright as hell! Makes me wish I'd grabbed one from FT before the price jump and non-availability. :(

I have both this and the EA4, well I did until I sold the EA4…

Advantages of this over EA4 (and why I sold EA4)

- Slightly brighter to my eyes (though my EA4 was the XML U2 version)

- Two buttons easier to use than EA4 which was OK but annoying at times

  • 1/8 twist of the barrel locks it out, stopping current draw and as an extra safety

Where is the cheapest place to get one of these, now that the usual suspects have raised their prices?!

I just ordered mine from HKE. It has a $15 discount for forum members.

I decided to try this link:
https://support.fasttech.com/general/VOLM/1374600
The bulk price turned out to be much lower. In my case, the quote was for a bulk quantity that can be described by this mathematical expression: sin(π/6)*[√4] + (3!)^2 - (46656)^(1/3)
:wink: :wink:

SWM really need to release a NW version.

Great review.

Thanks.

so how much is this?

haha nice an easy maths, thnx for the heads up :wink:

Hi Kokopelli, congratulation on your purchase of the great D40A!! :wink:
Well, might be a little bias coming from someone who ended up with 2 units - it is a Yes! If you’re interesting, over here are some interesting comparison of the beam profiles between different units, and observations from other members :slight_smile: Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

Thank you so much for the great review!

Ordered 0:)

Thanks for the review, turboBB. I’m definitely getting one. Does anyone know who has the best price? Just from some quick looking around, it looks like WallBuys.

I purchased mine from doingoutdoor for $58.00 couple of days ago. But it seems they increased their prices recently :_(

Found this on another forum…

It’s still at $58 with coupon code.

It seems that I totally forgot about the coupon code lol.
So sorry about that

I just got one from Wallbuys last instant kill game for $54.80 and it should be here Monday :slight_smile: They haven’t done too bad lately getting packages to me here in the USA in 8-10 days.

Guys, there was a reason for the obscure mathematical references to price.

Now that you've posted prices here in plain text, I wonder if Sunwayman will come down heavy on DoingOutdoor the way they did with Fasttech.

Seems they are also a company that doesn't want their outlets listing prices below MAP.

Ah well....
