Is Sunwayman still in business?

[zoulas]

Those are nice.

[tempo]

THEY didn't go out of business.

It was US who made them go out of business.

YOU stopped buying their new models.

DEALERS eventually stopped carrying.

I hope not, every Sunwayman light i had, (5 of them) all failed or died, and they never responded to my requests for help or service… Sunwayman was a horrible flashlight manufacturer… no customer support or service, poor quality control, to many flaws in their lights.

But they made nice flashlights. I have too many flashlights to use all of them frequently, and yes, one of my SWM V20Cs is no longer working. All the others work fine, but most are unused and only a few have been used for not long.

However, it is difficult to resist magnetic rings, they have an attraction …. magnetic.

My M11R Mr Elfin stopped working after 2-3 years of continued usage.

Sunwayman made nice looking flashlights, with easy UI
Pity that they are no longer what they used to be

From what I see, SWM lights fail a lot more than we fans of the brand would like, it’s a shame.

I agree… I hear of non working Sunwayman rotaries more often than the others

there is one encouraging report here

Sunwayman V10R Ti+ driver repaired

Hey guys, So after about 10 years of ownership, my flashlights driver decided to give out on me and now I need to either find a replacement driver or repair the bad component(s) on the driver board. I was able to remove the driver from the unit and powered the LED using my lab bench power supply and it is working just fine so the driver is the culprit here. Being so small and with so many components, I have no idea what to test first. Does anyone know what usually fails on these or has a way…

by a person that fixed their Sunwayman driver

Now that we are at Christmas I have a little more time to post some pictures:

Sunwayman bigs heads are generous and detailed in design, construction, machining and finish, with a strong military look, good throwers, and rotating magnetic rings:

Keep going, don’t mind me, just here lurking…

[Ragsy]

What?...Sunwayman not doing flashlights anymore....oh NOWAYMAN!!

[NeutralFan]

The only Sunwaymans that I have are the D40As. I first bought the cool white since it had more lumens, and then bought the neutral white a month later. Both have been used over the years by the family since they are safe 4 AA flashlights. The only issue I’ve had was with the switch on one of them which started to crack. But I was able to replace it and it’s been fine since.
