The above mentioned ebay pot looks good. 360° full turn -> 0.7-0.8ohm, minimal resistance ~0.03ohm, max ~19.3ohm,

291

Thanks viffer, I’ll go find the link again and order a few for stock.

Edit :- just ordered 8, £2.54 8)

Can’t wait for them to arrive now, give this light the current it deserves. J)

292

Mine arrived last week but I haven’t had a chance to install any of them in any lights yet.

293

There is an ultrafire version which is the same as the small sun at Banggood for $24.99

294

Is that yours or a stock photo? If it's yours, any report on tailcap current, build quality, etc . . . ?

295

It's mine, same as the Small Sun 2.02amps on with one battery.

296

Hmm, slightly better price, about $1, but will wait for further report on the quality.

Well, not like MF ones are consistently good anyway :bigsmile:

I’ve submitted product request at fasttech for T08 and T13 before this, hope it gets through.

297

so, where to by a small sun-t08 best price?

298

manafont

thanks :slight_smile:

just ordered it, and 2xncr18650a 3100 from fasttech :slight_smile:

301

so i received the batteries, will they fit into the small sun?

302

Yes, no problem. As long as their button tops.

303

I would be Very Carefull with Wide + Button Batteries. If they Span over 26mm they may Short to - GRD.

304

I can say my protected KeepPower Panasonic 3100's from KumaBear fit in my ZY-T08 just fine. I expect yours will be ok too.

It’s my 1-st post on BLF so hello everyone flashoholics :slight_smile:
I decided to buy this flashlight for example there: CLICK Anyone has Small Sun ZY-T08 from this site?
I have a lot of cells 18650 but all are unprotected so could someone confirm built in voltage protection? If not, which flashlight will you suggest? My aim:

- throw

- 1 (or 2) unprotected 18650

  • budget under $30
    I read that Small Sun ZY-T13 and Romisen RC-T602 are also good choice. How about built in voltage protection? Any other suggestion?
306

hi, welcome to blf!

i just recieved mine from manafont today, but hadn’t time to test it out… anyway fasttech is a popular site among blf members and i highly recommend it, bought 2xncr 18650a there.

i also recieved a xintd c8 v3 with u3 from intl-outdoor, and this one is a “must have” for all the forum members, hope u got enough spare $$$ :smiley:

307

Thanks koyotee for confirm. How long did you wait for order from Manafont?
I read about xintd c8 and c8 clones in generally. I understand that it’s a very good flashlight but as I read it’s a good compromise between flood and throw (so very usefull for EDC). I have good one flood stuff so I need real THROW :smiley: In addition with built in voltage protection…
Any other suggestions?
Can anyone confirm protection in Small Sun ZY-T13 ???

308

Anybody with this the T08 explain how to measure amps it draws? I can see the five contacts of the switch. Do you just meter between the switch contact and ground?

Asking so I don’t poof the darn thing.
