Small Sun ZY-T08

I’m still resisting……I expect resistance to last until payday. :bigsmile:

That's what happened to me! I was holding off to order another one of the 4xAAA 57mm head lights and decided to order both (as well as new XP-G2 neutral white emitters, fake two-fish bike mounts, and I have a battery order with KumaBear that will probably come due soon).

Ok I dug this picture up to compare the T08 with the T13 at 350yds. Mouseover T13 and mouse out T08

Mine arrived today, very happy indeed. Does anyone know of a diffuser wand type thing that fits over this big girl?

Might be finding itself into my hunting light position on my left hip. Long run times but not too big and bulky like some 2 x 18650 torches.

Any more details on the resistor mods?

Yeah, just do it! :)

Well do you need a link where to buy the resistor? I wouldn't mind a link for a simple place to order it cheap. Other than obtaining the resistor, I believe it's pretty straightforward to do it.

Aside from the different angles I don’t see a bit of difference in the light hitting the barn @ 350yds. They look identical to me.

Do any of you T08 owners also have a HD2010? I’d love to see a beam profile comparison.

I just got mine today and just shined them at 200’ and they look the same to me…

Refer to post #7. You can cleary see if you have 20/20 vision which light is the brighter light and better thrower.

Came today !

And if anyone is wandering ? http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/small-sun-zyt08-xml-t6-1200lumen-5mode-led-flashlight-black-218650-p-11600

For the price ,

itsa lota flashlight …

Glad you like it.

Can't wait to see your review! Mine is on the way from Manafont too.

Edit - found it! You really got that one up quick!

I tested the T08 vs the HD2010 and the HD wins by a small margin… but the T08 is a hell of a light!!!

wins in throw? are they both about the same brightess? which one has more flood and spill

Busy busy busy ! For at least one more month = Busy ! then I can sleep in , go for lazy afternoon walks , and do more fun stuff like play with flashlights …

Im still just idling til mine arrives.
Had to bake some lights just to switch things up… :face_with_monocle:

Viffer, Is that de-dome job a full de-dome? Appears so

Is this light bulkier than the HD2010? It looks rather heavy and not egonomically acommodating. The heaviness of lights is starting to bother me.

How likely is it that I could order one for a Xmas gift for nephew, and have it in time to put under the tree?

Tough call. I'd say order from Manafont so it ships out immediately. Should just get it in time.

Can u elaborate for those of us who can’t decide between the two lights please!
