I am selling this great T08 built by Tom E. I hate to sell it but I also dislike having multiple flashlights with similar beam patterns. Here are the specs provided by Tom E:

lumens: 1,271 at start, 1,224 at 30 secs, throw of 209 kcd (taken at 4.3 meters)

XM-L2 U2 Cool white emitter (1A-1C), Noctigon copper star, copper added for heat sinking, UCL/p AR lens (from flashlightlens.com), Nanjg driver custom programmed and mod’ed to 4.2A, tailcap springs wired with copper braid, 22 gauge high temp wire.

Very low run time (minutes). I have a k40 built by Vihnnguyen which is taking its place of the T08.

I can text or email pics if needed.

$85 shipped within the states.

I don’t understand what low runtime means?

Oops. Sorry. I thought Tom E was for sale.

5

Hardly used… Maybe a total of a few minutes since I got it.

6

Oh I thought you meant the light only lasts minutes on a set of batteries.

No, I think it’s Tom E’s small son…could be wrong :open_mouth:

This is a sweet light guys. I have the exact same light and no way would I part with mine. Back in June when Brother and I were in Big Bend National Park, This is one of about 5 or six lights in our collection that actually made the 975M shot to Casa Grande. It is a very impressive light that is small enough to fit in your jacket pocket.

It is an amazing light and can’t really believe I’m selling it. Not in a rush to sell but can use the money right now.

PayPal accepted.

I keep wondering how Vinh’s Sunwayman T45Cvn would compare to this.

I only got daughters! Smile. But only got one left for sale, the older one is married (bought) already...

Nice,

Where did you get those copper disc’s from? What is Etsy?

You answered your own question - I got them at Etsy Smile. http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bopper?ref=shop_sugg.

The "Bopper" is the woman who has a store on the Etsy site. I originally got this source from posts by Old-Lumens. If there is anything in a size you want not listed, just ask her - she is very accomodating -- everything I've asked for she got for me.

My credit card thanks you
