A lot of great prices at DD!!! (10-Dec-11)

That one is the only one that has worked for me.

How good is this charger? Maybe with the SLT-V2 as a combo with $13 off = US$ 41.38

Destructive Dino Deals Death blow to prices .

Paypal and me have a new found bond .

go go godzillia

Better to choose something that has adjustable length for the lower terminal, so that can do 16340/18350/18500/17670, just in case next time you wanna use such cells.

Hope you all will find something you like, and here are the coupon:

SAVE13OFFME—save $13 for orders over $50

SAVE18OFFME—save $18 for orders over $80

all in www.dinodirect.com

I just got my BC-40 for $39.69

Great deal!!

When did you ordered?

Three days ago. I am going to place another order tonight once I decide what to get.

I was hoping to find a sunwayman m40a, but they don't see to sell them (or have any in stock)

3 days...

I hope I will get it within 3 weeks.

Ordered one STL-V2, batteries and Ultrafire 501a host.

Funny, but I´ve had that 501a in cart maybe dozen of times from various places, always seemed "expensive" :D

It was about 4,5$ now, I recall it´s cheap host.

I meant I ordered it 3 days ago (in response to previous post). I don't expect to get it for at least 3 weeks if shipping time is anything like KD and DX.

I ordered two sets of trustfire flames almost a month ago, and they haven't arrived yet. Don't feel bad.

I got the Sunwayman M20C today, 2 weeks from DD. But yes some stuff from China or going through HK as a gateway can take as much as 4 weeks plus even for me over here in SG. Once it took 45 days and yes that was by Manafont.

ok

What's your impressions on M20C? Does low is really low? Build quality, etc ?

Love reading the Dino’s impressive reviews on this light.

High is 0.918A and 260 lumens OTF (good!). Low is 0.007A, unfortunately i could not measure extremely accurate mA which is pretty accurate for my UT-58E coz i blew the fuse for the 200mA port. But seriously 7mA is about there and gives you 442hrs of runtime or 18 days. Based on other flashlights like iTP A1, probably low is about 0.5 lumens to 1 lumens. Or in other words light output is about 4X dimmer than a iTP A1 on a ceiling bounce. This is very good efficiency, better than Nitecore IFE1. (but SWM's infinite;y variable drivers are still not at Nitecore's level)

Tint is much better than the V10A in ultra low mode, not sure why. V10A is yellowish-green and makes things look ugly grey. High is about the same tint but M20C kills it for throw, expectedly. M20C throws farther than the Ultrafire P60 XM-L at over 3 amps within 2 sec of turn on (literally no sag on output due to heat). I get 7.5k cd of throw compared to 5.8k cd for the P60 XM-L.

You can get a M20C T5 neutral white 358 lumens for $66 from Andy. But this XP-G from DD is $50 after discounts, has about 280 lumens and will get you better throw.

There is absolutely no question on quality regarding SWM lights. Some may not like the variable ring control (does not do exponentially) on earlier V20C models and that's about it.

I immediately ordered the V60C after this. The M3X can wait.

In terms of Ring control, i still prefer Jetbeam RRT-2 (4 modes, not con't variable) feel than this M20C. Easier to grip for the JB because the ring is really fat and raised, and the rotation is smoother. M20C you can feel some grinding between the metal.

A little dated now, but how about a Fenix TK45 for $75 after SAVE18OFFSP

Thanks 2100 for write-up about M20C. It seems just like in case of M10A ...the low mode is waaay lower than manufacturer specs.

I like that >400h runtime, but I noticed that continously variable circuits of SWM are not that efficient in low mode. I really like the design of V60C and I would sacrifice some of my flashlights to get it, but the circuit efficiency in low mode just puts me off.

By the way, do you know what is standby current for V60C ? Will it drain the batteries fast, when left on shelf for some time?
