I'm Hoping This Will Be The Ultimate Frog Gigging Flashlight

@ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS

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.

EagleTac 18650’s is mostly what I have. You suggest something else?

No those are good batteries.

I needed a frog gigging light

With a powerful beam of pure white

My Small Sun lets me see

Their eyes looking at me

I can get them before they take flight !

I like going gigging at night

Those frogs aren't aware of their plight

Before they can croak

I give them a poke

And I'll eat them 'til my stomach's tight

Thats the “Before” picture. Where is the “After” picture?

It’s the reflector that is plastic not the lens. It will make a good frog light. Sometimes it’s not so much how bright of light you have but how long it will stay bright is the what counts when your out wading a creek at nite in pitch darkness. I have now learned to carry my XM-L headlamp that takes 2 18650’s as a backup. It works great I might add. I had one of my lights take out on me on a creek not but aboout 2 weeks ago on a dark nite due to some cheap fake Trustfire flame batteries I had in it. Lucky for me I listened to my buddy rikr on here and had my headlamp as a backup. I would have been in big trouble had I not listened to him and being 3/4 of a mile down a creek from my car. That could be real dangerous.

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.

I have a good cheap light for under $25 for you.

Go and buy this one. It is still the best quality and brightest flashlight I have bought for the money. I’m tickled with it.

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.

pounder,

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….

[Saint_Jimmy90]

Was it the right choice to buy the small sun zy t13 xml for $24 over the small sun zy a630 xr-e? Because thats kinda what i did…

I don’t have the HD2010 but I have seen rikr’s in action and he tells me that the 2010 is brighter I believe. But it’s pulling more amps as well so it should be.

No it doesn’t pull more than 1A w/ 2 cells. It is however 2/3 the brightness of the STL v2/v6’s.

I have both and the HD2010 has a tighter hot spot but not by much. I think you would be happy with either one you choose.

Well I ordered another one of the Small Sun T40CS clones. What a light for the money. I just had to have another.

The Jacob is brighter. But this one isn’t bad at all and it throws well. It runs off 2 18650’s which is why I bought it. It would have been nice had it been driven a little harder, but really it’s just about perfect for what I will use it for. It should have a pretty long runtime on high with 2 good batteries. That’s what I need.
