    I think I need to buy it. What do you guys think? I like it.

Go for it there are not that many 3 *AA lights out there.

This is a good light. Your light collection seems to be all XM-L.

3

If you swap out the emitter and driver, would the magnetic switch ring still work?

Can the switch ring be operated one-handed?

Would a 26650 battery fit (I bet it would)?

Do you think this would be better choice?

I'd like another good thrower for the money. But the Sunwayman would run off of AA's. But I really don't want to spend $100 on the TK41.

6

Yea but I don't want to spend a $100.

7

After watching Goingear reeeview, it didn’t really impress me at all.

It will probably throw about like a Uniquefire HS-802. The Sunwayman appears to be a little greater in diameter but it also appears (to me) to have an OP reflector.
Unless someone has lux figures for it I think that would be a fair comparison. I kind of like the looks however…relatively smooth bezel and fatter body rather than long and skinny.
OP reflector (it looks like) would take care of the Cree ring and maybe make it useful on low and medium settings as well.

13

Yea I think I would much rather have the TK50.

ILIKE: Are you crazy man? You are thinking of buying that light but you won't buy a TK41 because it uses AA batteries? Am I missing something. With your thirst for throw this light will disappoint you. Check out the Jetbeam PA40 if you don't want a TK41. Take a deep breath my friend. Breath in. Exhale. Breath in. Exhale.

Your chiming into my curio fund remember. LOL!

16

I don't seem to recall you complaining about your curio fund with the last few lights you ordered. Check your email. I sent you something real funny.

Have you got the Olight batons already? 3xAA and 6xAA XML lights seems very good. I could get one if they were on a discount again on DD.
