GB Active - SWM G25C - Small Dual Tail Switch 18650 $34.99 Pics added

I find the mode spacing a bit annoying compared to the C22C ….

This is a very good price guys. Let’s get this gb started.

My light arrived today :) It is as I expected. This thing is smaller in length than my EE A6 and S2! Not bad for a tail switch light. Good visual spacing, good feel, pocket clip, etc. I will be buying a couple more at this price for sure. I will do everything I can to post pics and a review tomorrow.

Oh yeah....I love the feel of metal tail switches :)

MUST RESIST! Already in three GB’s! STOP tempting me bugsy36! :weary:

Why bother David - It is futile

I do feel your pain though. I can honestly say that I am getting more selective....and I am starting my Christmas shopping early. The girls dig these "Disco from off" lights. Moreover, I would seriously consider retiring my Fenix PD35 for this and actually use it (unlike my PD35 which acts more like a loaner to those that have forgotten to charge their proprietary Streamlight Strion )

The metal tail cap switches is what first drawn my attention to this light. I’ve always wanted one after hearing how everyone loves it on the convoy s2+.

So does the switches actually depresses down and clicks? Or it it like an electronic switch?

i’ll get one

I’m in for one. Thanks

I’ll go for 2.

Cool light

Also in the OP.....

My G25C finally arrived! Oh, ooh, ooh. Took it to work last night....just had to :)

As a disclaimer....let me state that I am not as good of a writer as JohnnyMac and many others here but i can give you a fair and detailed assessment based on real usage and not just an inspection of the unit.

I was initially impressed by the SWM D40. It is hard to find the intersection of quality and cost and Sunwayman makes finding things a bit easier. Next came the SWM C22C on a GB. It was a good price for a good light. I am not fond of side switches but with the advent of itsy bitsy lights of late side switches are not that counter intuitive.

Now comes the Sunwaman G25C. At first I thought it was just a C22C without the side switch until I saw the tail switches...both of them, and metal too. Yabba dabba doo!! My first experience with dual tail switches was on the Nitecore P10 with instant strobe from off. While I could care less about the disco (although great for the girls IMO, on top of other armament) I very much enjoyed the idea of changing modes without shifting my grip while doing my inspections at work. My Fenix PD35, which I loan out more than I use, requires a shift of grip in order to change modes, a PITA when I am inspecting theme park rides while using the "cop" grip. (FWIW....my P10 was confiscated :)). No matter...I got my beta BLF A6 to use! ...and now back to our regular station....

Not only do we have dual switches but they are metal (not sure if stainless or aluminum but look like stainless). They have a fantastic feel. The main switch differs from the prior Nitecore and Klarus by not being forward switches, and thus no momentary so to speak BUT there is so little switch travel it is not a big deal and extremely little effort. Another big plus, and I wish Fenix, Nitecore, Klarus, etc WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS is that the tail switches ONLY add a couple mm's in length vs the SWM C22C. This G25C is shorter than my BLF A6! Hell yeah :)

A couple other nice features are the nice clip (identical to the C22C) and the stainless bezel that is almost or approx 10mm tall. The reflector is SMO. there is no lanyard hole nor the titanium glass breaker.

The modes and their spacing are very usable, 3 plus disco. I like the few modes in this light. I have no way to measure output, and I often use high, but the low and medium seem to be in the right spot. (Take note that if the stobe is activated while main power is on, it will be memorized.). The head of the G25C allows for twisting like the Nitecore to limit the modes such as High and strobe, a feature that I never use.

If I were to change anything I would change the instant strobe to a momentary on button but then would lose the appeal to those that like the instant disco for safety purposes. With that said I would not change anything.

So here is where the light sits in my stack.......

I am going to order a few of these. 2 for me and 2 for gifts. Even at regular price this light is worth it. For $35, I would be stupid no to seize the opportunity from the front! One will become a daily worker for me only, and serve side by side with my BLF A6. Can you tell I just love small lights??? :)

...........I will add pics tomorrow (night?) and even try and take some beam shots. I am getting ready for work now.

in for one.

In for one!

I think the count to this point is 24…

Pics added to op

I am thinking that there are probably some more that just do not want to put their name down. I will try and see if I can get the code :)

Code is active! :) $34.99 USD

I believe that I have Pm'd the code to all that wanted one of these. If I have missed you or you want in just shoot me a pm :)

Awesome, thanks Bugsy!

Ordered one with the code.

Thanks bugsy36,

Another nice light but no NW option. Great price though. I’ve always liked the idea of the separate switch for strobe.

Also it would have been nicer with a deep carry clip like on the Nitecores. (the Nitecore MH20 is another similar sized light I like but no NW option either)

Both companies offer NW option on some of their lights.
