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

I've already got a couple of those, and my niece likes that one.

They were good for the price, but the price has increased quite a bit.

...

I'll ask my niece if she even wants the Skywolfeye E527, and if so, I'll order it.

A new warsun zoomie:

High-Mid-Low
Push-pull

Anyone mention the Sofirn S11Cs, or the WDT zoomies on Amazon for 2fitty each (now 6bux each)?

If not, well, them. :laughing:

New 26650 zoomie, SupFire X60-T:

Another zoomie / lantern combo. Too many functions (magnet, red light, …) but I kinda like it:

18650 tail clicky, Laserspeed IS1000T. I don’t know what makes lasers faster than flashlights…maybe they are more stramlined so when you throw one it flies faster.

Add the On The Road Z803

Big flashlight with a small lens…

Manufacturers should tend to have as large lens possible in as small host package possible but of course… Most China engineers can’t figure that out…

Ohhh, I see. The FT listing shows the lens size well: https://www.fasttech.com/product/4206303-on-the-road-z803-zooming-led-flashlight-gift-set

Yikes! Totally agree - wut were they think'n?

Of course I'm always interested in something different w/e-switch to mod. This SupFire F15-T looks interesting:

aliexpress.com - SupFire F15-T

It's got an LCD panel and it seems to match the display info of the Neal (no-name) LEP - must be a common design used and re-used, etc.

The F15 is the reflector version, while the F15-T is the aspheric zoom version - listing is confusing the two models.

I just noticed that it comes with a powerbank. Cool. What is your plan for it?

Not sure if I'll order it. From the looks and features, it's possible the driver could be exactly the same, or same physically as the Neal no-name LEP, and if so, it's not an easy driver mod/upgrade. Lot depends on the switch - if it's driver mounted or separate round PCB in the housing.

Overall though, it looks decent - nice look'n design, SS bezel, relatively compact, simple push/pull zoom, etc. Someone here at work questions the heat effect on those LCD panels - not sure what they are typically rated it, specially if we crank up the amps. The no-name LEP is low power.

10850 zoomie from warsun:

I haven’t seen such battery used in flashlights before.

A large zoomie:

A nice looking zoomie family:

Though some detailed images don’t looks so well:

What kind of lens does this have? TIR?

Oh, the C-star zoomies are available with USB at the tail (I assume the head-rechargable light doesn’t zoom).
And waterproofing of the port looks good.

Bad news for me.

The flashlight never arrived, though I did get my money back through AliExpress.

And now this flashlight isn't available from this seller anymore, and it's quite a bit more expensive elsewhere.

It's a shame, too, because I think it's a fairly handsome el cheapo flashlight.

Looks interesting. :slight_smile:

I'm thinking it's interesting as well, but not sure how the batteries are setup. If parallel and accessible/removable like a Sofirn SP36 than I'd buy one to play with and hope to mod.

They look parallel on one rendering:

Though naturally this should be taken with a grain of salt.
