SMALL SUN ZY-T08

lol that was funny, I don’t own this light (yet) but admiring it through pictures I have a hard time getting used to the weird bottom on that thing. I guess whenever I do finally get one in my hand it will make more sense.

But all in all awesome budget light…

dale, give this mrs d and get an asgard ordered, same host, much more versatility

I have one modded by Tom E
Dedomed xml2 U2 at 4.3 amps. 1200 lumens and 210 kcd
:slight_smile: great light

+1

I almost choked laughing on that one.

Nice pictures Dale. You are gonna love that one. I may have to buy me another.

As do I. Tom turned a nice little light in to an awesome light. I took it on my trip to Big Bend and it shined on a mountain peak 975 meters away and it made it. I was very impressed.

Sorry Dale! Not meaning to derail your thread.

Nice thing about a lightsabre is it doesn't piss off all your neighbors like a floody light does .Only the one whose bedroom wall you burnt a hole in .."OMG HArold wake up . aliens have landed "

"Go back to bed Mildred ....it's that moron down the street and his new thrower "

might be worth checking into modding this puppy…

210kcd?? are you serious!? so this thing will outhrow the tom E btu shocker mod?

On Convoy L2 I got 200kcd at only 3-3.1 amps (sinkpad+dedomed xm-l2 u2+slightly increased current on stock driver),and 270kcd at 5.7Amp,so those 210 kcd at 4.3 amps is ok number considering small sun’s slightly smaller reflector+no AR glass.

Yep. Maybe a even a little more…

these are really nice and ive been wanting a modded one for a while now

This is manxbuggy1’s 208K throw, T08 with XML2 dedomed. It’s a little bit of a weak spot, but it is putting some light on the mountain top at 975m -

yea i just found that beamshot thread of yours! great shots like always.
that t08 is very impressive for something that size and weight.

Oh, got 3 of these stock T08's in - one is being built for a BLF'er, but I don't have a mod'ed one myself anymore and really miss it! Like an HD2010, it still puts out a lot of light, certainly not a laser beam type of throw...

Doesn't come close to the de-domed, resistor mod'ed TN31 I got though, at 347 kcd.

Hi,

Does anyone have any lux measurements for a stock ZY-T08 and for a stock ZY-T08 with a dedomed XM-L T6?

Thanks,
Jim

Hhmm, I do, or can easily get it, but can't this morning - can't get to my downstairs office/shop - guests sleeping downstairs... For throw, the stock #'s are in the 40's for kcd I believe.

Hi Tom,

Ok, thanks… if you have a chance.

Mine were as follows:

  • Stock SS ZY-T08: 33347 (33.3 Klux)
  • Dedomed Stock SS ZY-T08: 61042 (61.0 Klux)

I took the 1st reading (stock) with my original meter, and the 2nd reading with my new/2nd lux meter, confirming with the original meter.

Again, this is stock, no resistor mods or anything.

I think that stock, it was underperforming a little, but mainly, I was interested in seeing the percentage increase after the dedome, and it looks like lux did increase just about 100% with the dedome.

I also took the dedomed T08 outside with my shorty dedomed, direct driven FF STL-V6 with XM-L, which is now getting about 122 Klux n the same lux meters, and I can actually see the difference in the brightness of the spot, at distance (~50 meters and ~100 meters).
