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.

Rickr where did u buy your lights and which wins in throw?
Can u elaborate for those of us who can’t decide between the two lights please!

Hi Reflection,
In my test of a new hand held spot light I purchased, I put it up against my Fandyfire HD-2010 and the Small Sun ZY-T16. I’m sure the T16 uses the exact same reflector and a similar driver as the Small Sun ZY-T08. If you want to see the beam shots, just scroll down to the photos I posted a few days ago.
[image] Produces 110K Lux @ 10 meters thanks to a huge 95mm reflector Hey folks, I’m not exactly sure if this type of light is very popular around here, but I thought I’d post about my new addition to my light collection. Perhaps someone may be interested in this. In addition to the more traditional flashlights I like to purchase, I also like hand-held spotlights, so I’m always looking around for something new and interesting, and most importantly, affordable. For me, this new Digital Proje…
Ledsmoke:Hi Viffer750. What kind of mod did you do to the driver and why did you (of all people) do a “conservative resistor modification” ??
I’d want to drive that thing… You already know what I’m gonna say don’t you
I soldered an additional 0.22ohm resistor parallel with the 3 small smd resistors.
This increases the driver/led current. Now the measured current on the driver side is 3.2A.
And the output brightness increased from 600 to 750 lumen, and from 41kcd to 50kcd.
I know nothing about modding but am going to try this one. Where exactly do you solder the resistor on the driver? Is it the bottom of the resistor on the left to the top of the resistor on the right or can you solder anywhere on the left resistor and anywhere on the right resistor. thanks
Those resistors are in parallel, so you can solder anywhere so long as you get one leg soldered to one side and the other leg soldered on the other side. In the pic above one side would be the side of any of the 3 resistors toward you and the 2nd being any of the 3 away from you. I think viffer attached his the way he did simply because it was easier with the size/length of resistor he used.
Hope that makes sense.

Got it, thanks Garry.
Will it have any side effect from the increase current? Reduce in driver life-span? Irregular flickering or dimming of LED?
I am waiting for my unit to arrive too.

I wonder what if you just short all the sense resistors with a thick wire, will it go near direct drive?
EDIT: Just recall and found the answer here , so yeah it will go direct drive.
