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

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(Ļ€/6)*[āˆš4] + (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 youā€™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! Frontpageā€™d and Stickyā€™d.

Thank you so much for the great review!

Thanks for the review, turboBB. Iā€™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 forumā€¦

Itā€™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 havenā€™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....

Well, I was checking my D40A emitter for centering, admiring the orange peel, etc. All with the emitter within 18 inches of my face. Need I say more?
Yes, I accidentally hit the on switch. OOOH WEEE! A face full of furious D40A! Fortunately, I keep the mode set to medium (220 lumens). It must have taken me about 5 minutes to recover.
Note to self: Keep the mode set at low (30 lumens) going forward. This is not a tail clicky, and itā€™s not your fatherā€™s incan.

Bill from doingoutdoor.com says that his D40A in neutral white is a 4C tint.

Can anyone verify this ? I canā€™t find their listed specs about the tint anywhereā€¦

I like what I see with this light, but Iā€™m not willing to pay their asking price considering the other options. $50 is a bit steep IMO, but at $80-90 no thanks!

Seeing them enforce MAP pricing has really eroded my image of them, guess they want to be too ā€œpremiumā€ for their customers.

I got one from doingoutdoor, not sure which tint number it is, but it surely looks neutral to me ;)!

And yes, this light is pricey, however it is considered to be sort of higher quality, premiumā€™ish brand.

That doesnt meant your light will be perfect upon reception, some have had issues with theirs.
