Nice shots 18sixfifty. I’m a late comer to the ZY-T08 but have been using two highly modified lately with the BLF fet + 1 driver running an XPL-HI and XPL. One has a plastic reflector and the other an aluminium one. Gotta love em.
I actually like the plastic lens one better at least for the de-domed emitters. Still though to get the best focus I take the bottom of the reflector out.
Hi, I don’t get a chance to take pics that often but I can tell you that you are correct the Courui is brighter and throws a little farther. Although if I had put a XP-G2 in the courui it would throw even farther but have the same lumens as the ZY-T08.
