Wow, it does indeed! Thanks, I’ll add it to the list!
Although the price is quite high for Warsun…
.
The similar sized Jaxman Z1 is $1.00 less with choice of tint, better UI and confirmed to have high quality lens.

Hard to resist trying this one for $21.80 right now.
BRETT confirmed the CCT is 5500K-5900K.
Is there a good way to get Wowtacs to Europe?
But look at that huge zooming movement, they used a very shallow (long focal length) lens resulting in tons of light loss when zooming in (so a small hotspot). Not all is bad about that though, the flood will be very wide.
The 30mm zooming travel in particular was something I thought to be an advantage for wide flood,thanks for confirming that!
.
What do you mean by shallow lens? Are you referring to the depth it sits down in the bezel?
In the front view showing the emitter it looks like the lens is not there for that photo.
In this photo it looks normal depth (maybe?):
.
Can’t see much else about the lens in the listing, but I was informed it’s a plastic lens.
Front view: (looks like lens is removed):
There is this photo of the die image where appears to be fully zoomed in, (but probably pretty close to the wall):
Also the price went up today about $1, now $22.84

Countryman CREE XPL 1000 Lumen 18650 mechanical Zoom Flashlight
From Enogear
Looks pretty nice for only $36.00 Anyone have one or know about it?
Interesting design on those Archon’s. Looks a twist zoom that can be operated with one hand.
I did a review on the Archon D10U in 2014: Archon D10U 18650 aspheric diving flashlight, a non-diver review
Ahh, it’s been around for some time I see. Thanks.
But pink is new! :party:

You’ve got me curious now how that might work? I’m not seeing what’s different from any twist zoomie.

Thanks, I usually look for those first to include the link, guess I forgot, but it looks like it didn’t do so well.

Yes! It was the pink one that caught my eye and decided to post it here, then I found it in black too.
Zoomie with magnetic selector ring and USB charging:

Sorry about that I was wrong. I thought those flaps sticking out on each side under the head was for twist operation with your thumb, but now with closer inspection I see that isn’t the case. It’s just a normal twisty.
mmalive:Ooh the model number is XR8. Not even listed on Sam’s website. It does list XR7
XR7 does not run on Li-ion battery, and XR8 still only 400Lm
While searching on line for those I did find something that was VERY exciting…for a minute (before I found out it’s discontinued :rage: )
The Tasco XR9r
This apparently was a pretty awesome flashlight from about a year ago! With so many great features I have no idea why it was discontinued.
- 800 Lumen!
- Zooming focus
- Lighted tail switch!
- Magnetic Tail Cap!
- Runs on 18650 Li-ion!
- Built in USB charging
- Hidden USB port under a knurled stainless ring!
- USB Powerbank feature!
- Stainless steel bezel ring
- Round spot beam instead of square!
I guess these were selling for under $30 at Sams Club, but they were also on Amazon a while back (sold out now):
Amazon.comAmazon reviews were all 5 star, one reviewer commented:
“This light isnt being made anymore. I called Tasco (Bushnell) to ask where I could get another and they said it was a one time deal with that Big Box store. No plans to make them again. I don’t understand that but that’s what they said.”
.
Bummer.
Here’s a youtube video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSusAIf1_1E
After an extensive online search I was only able to find it showing available at one store……
But when I tried to buy it (just to check) it shows; “Our shopping cart is undergoing maintenance.” LOL
http://www.tacticalsuppliesexpress.com/item/13837047/Price was a little high anyway: $59.97 Sams Club did show it on their auctions site from a while back, they were probably a great deal in the auction.
Now all the zoomies at Sams are all low output and run on Alka-leaks, nothing nearly as nice as the XR9r was.
Yes…$60 is a little high for this.
For $60 I want a great twist Zoom with 200 to 400 KCD for very long throw and decent flood.
Has BLF done anything like this ?
Or is there something already ,not too large like the Cometa should have been …

This is at $23.88 including shipping with a tracking number - looks like an okay deal. Has anyone tried it out?
Total is $22.84 on the link I posted, is it extra for the tracking?

Yeah, it’s a little more for tracking info. I don’t have any experience with the store so I thought it was worth it.
Countryman CREE XPL 1000 Lumen 18650 mechanical Zoom Flashlight
From Enogear
- CW 6500K or NW 5C 4000K
- XP-L on Copper
- Brass pill
- Glass lens
- HAIII
Looks pretty nice for only $36.00 Anyone have one or know about it?
That does look nice .
Can BLF (OR has this been done)
or someone know a way we can get factory modded versions of something like it with a Turbo Mode …?
And choice of LED for either brightness or throw ?
I would pay $40 for this if it had a Turbo Mode that pushes the LED a bit .
Not a Tech or Modder but woukd be cool to have a light like this with 300KCD…
And some would prefer high lumens over high Candela …
So a C Model ( optimised for High Candela - Throw )
And an L Model ( optimized for Lumens, Color ).
