Many thanks for the review. I think you’ve whet a few appetites 'round here :bigsmile: Just wondering…How do you think this might compare with the “SMALL SUN ZY-T16”:http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/small-sun-zyt16-xml-t6-5mode-1200lumen-led-flashlight-black-1226650-p-10725? The head looks to be the exact same one but the batteries (26650) are in series instead.

Good observation. Personally I’m not fan of 26650 since the cells have hardly more capacity, and less compatible with anything else (incl chargers). The shorter design also have some advantages. Too bad this light doesn’t have the better tint of the T13. Too many really cool white throwers, but still tempting.

Sorry, but where is the ZY-T13 available with neutral tinted emitter? Anyone got both, ZY-T13 and ZY-T08? Does T13 throw better or worse? (got T13 on the shelf now, throws IMO decent but AFAIK no STL-V2 class.)

ILF has posted some comparison beamshots and the ZY-T08 does seem to have the edge (but seem darn close to me). See his thread here with photos. Or this thread vs. the fenix TK41.
