Sorry ’bout the confusion on the reflector. Guess I just completely misread your post.
For my bowfishing, I need brightness for the light to permeate cloudy water. Runtime is definitely a bonus, but I’ll gladly change rechargeable batteries every 30 minutes for a brilliant light with a good beam and will mount to weaver mount stabilizer.
Rikr convinced me to buy that light. I’m telling you right now that light is worth $50. It probably will throw almost as good as the FandyFire STL-V6. I have that one, too.
If you don’t have the FandyFire STL-V6, put it on your to-do-list. For around $45 shipped from Deal Xtreme, it’s one bad light to have. But I will say for the money, no light I have bought yet was a better value than the Small Sun T40CS clone. It’s rikr approved. LOL!
Just make sure you run some decent good batteries in it to get the most out of it. The beam on the one I have is perfect. It’s just as good as my Sunwayman T40CS, but not quite as bright. But for the money, it’s a better value flashlight.
hey ILF do you or rikr have any IMR cells you could pop in that t40cs clone…wondering if that would raise the tailcap readings at all…i’m on the fence about it still…wish it was pulling 3a or so…would be perfect…
Trust me this light is bad to the bone as is. I know there is lot of talk about this on here and modding it. But really the light is very nice as is. It’s plenty bright for $24, and I have yet to see a better or brighter $24 XM-L thrower on here for this price.
yeah i’m not disputing that it is a great light for 24$…I just don’t want to dip into my t40cs savings for an under driven light…I know I would be sitting there with it in hand going hey this is a nice light but I wish it was driven at 3a…and that would drive me nuts lol
I was really surprised how bright this Small Sun is, it really is hard to tell the difference when your aiming at 200feet away against some of the other better throwers.
Great buy!!!
Trust me on this one. Any light that rikr has told me to get and I didn’t until months later on I end up kicking myself for not listening to him sooner. You take a guy like rikr who has so many good flashlights and great throwers, he knows what is good when it comes around.
i like flashlights, how does that small sun clone compare with a hd 2010? i have a feeling itll be similar to the hd2010, which i have. im just trying to figure out if i should buy that small sun….
