Zooming Model List (2018 Updated) Tell us about your newest 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.

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.

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 ).

robertkoa, I have only seen this particular light from enogear and I’ve not seen them do any customs specials that I’m aware of. I’m still hoping someone has feedback for the Countryman, I’m going to bump it in my next post.

If Enogear did offer a modded version it probably would be more than $40 since that’s only $4 more than stock one costs.

Check out the Jaxman Z1 they offer different LED choices/tints etc. but they usually don’t drive them too hard. Skylumen offers a modded one but it’s VERY expensive: https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/zi-seriesvn-need-spec

You could also start a topic or WTB thread and ask on the forum, there’s quite a few members here that offer services/modded lights.

Mtn electronics sells a modded zoomie but when you select it shows “out of stock” so I’m not sure how long for them to build one, you could email them about it. http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=80&product_id=871

Bumping this for feedback, anyone have one or know about 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

Ok so this is a looong thread so I am just going to ask….really good but budget zoomie that uses AAs?

Any suggestions?

My dad bought that super junk “military grade” chinese junk light and loved the zoomie feature, but dropped it just once and its a pile of pieces. So I wanted to get him a better quality one. ANy help is appreciated.

Here’s a few:

These two for smaller single AA:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TNOSF3I/ref%3Dox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2JK7BW9C6MH5A&psc=1

Although these can run on a regular AA, the’re brighter on a 14500 Li-ion

.

This one’s a larger size like the that “super junk military grade” but better quality, also runs on 3xAAA like the military grade one.

It can run on a 18560 Li-ion and would also be brighter (like the military grade one)

Sounds like you don’t want him to deal with recharging batteries, but honestly regular batteries are more of a PIA, gotta keep buyin them, and they can leak and ruin the light, and in some models have a lower brightness output. You might want to look into one with Li-ion and USB charging. Of course the cost will be higher.

The ones with a magnetic docking base are the easiest to deal with, really convenient, just set it/keep it on the base, no removing batteries or plugging in wires, and never buy batteries again.

Here’s a few lower cost ones with charging dock:

An interesting zoomie with TIR optic I found today:

WARSUN A7

I wonder if it has the “Donut hole” effect in-between flood and throw positions, like the Fitorch/Litesam E11Z (post #171)
These is a beam shot at mid-zoom and it doesn’t look too bad. It’s only $15.35 on sale for 6 more days.

(click on any photo)

Xiaomi FZ101 looks like a pretty nice zoomie. Hopefully it is moddable.

From the picture, I wonder what is the thing underneath the aspheric lense? Is that a wavien collar? If so that would be awesome.

Almost all of the Coast and Led Lenser flashlights are zoomies, so this list is lacking like 30 flashlights.

There already are reviews/topics of both.

Yes they both have a square spot.
The only zoomies that don’t have a square spot are ones that use an SBT70 (which nobody makes and you need to mod yourself, if you can even find the discontinued LED) or a TIR zoomie like led lenser has.

Did anyone get Warsun A7 already?

Good question, I have no idea, maybe someone has a guess? I vaguely remember it being mentioned in another thread, maybe the gearbest new arrivals?

The smaller lens is a precollimator.
The white thing is probably a matte reflector, but I’m not sure. It is definitely not a Wavien Collar.

Yeah it’s just a cheap reflector to send out any stray light that comes out of the LED or precollimator at odd angles.
That flashlight looks very nice, great aesthetics, I might buy one when it comes out.
