How does it feel size wise vs the sunwayman?
The profile of the two lights is very similar, although the Zenith is a bit longer and a tiny bit wider in diameter. The Zenith definitely weighs more - I'm guessing due to the higher quality (and thicker) titanium.

Thanks PSM! Yeah - I was impressed with how compact this light is. :)

Nice Light ! I am trying to decide between an XML Haiku and this light... This one is really tempting.. How do you like the clip? is it as good as the Mcgizmo clip? How do you like the electric clicky? Any way to get some light engine pics ?

Is it alot brighter than your Haiku? The 18500 battery capability is really cool and a huge advantage...

I wonder if the drive levels can be modified easily?

Is it the same diameter at the head as the Haiku? I've been traveling too much lately & I didn't measure the Haiku head - I've got AOTH holsters that fit the Haiku/PD lights but don't think it would match the head here. If it did that may trip me over the edge for the 18500.

Looks like a JHanko extreme cooling fin on the SWM, I've got one that I just ordered a pile of trits for, could have a similar setup as you have there, except a few less trits in the bezel, but Da. Love this stuff.

Pay Pal just sent! Please let me know when it is received. Thank you! :)

Payment received and confirmed, thank you.


So the total for a Zenith Ti 18500 with all trits and shipping is 564.00 ?

This is correct.


Tain, do you know what type of steel was used to make the Damascus? I think I see some nickel.

A couple more bills and I could own that amazing looking dama !!

These are amazing works of art !!!!

The Damascus is made from 304 and 316 stainless steel.


If any of you guys who get your lights first could check which cells fit, reports from the field would be appreciated.

Do 18500 Protected work (sometimes protected are too long)?
Do IMR cells work (sometimes IMR or unprotected are too short)?
Do the cells need to be button top or will flat top cells work too?

The battery length is based on AW 18500 protected cells.

Very nice pictures Cary! :) I especially like the first one - the composition is nice, and the bokeh on that lens is beautiful!

Well, someone has got to ask, how's the beam?

I'm on the fence, I have the cash in my PP, which is RARE, but I'm not sure if I want to spend it all on one light, or just buy a few lights with it... :crazy:

If this picture doesn't convince people, nothing will. :)

I really like your purple and white trit color schemes. For one of my future purchases, I may have to order a "Cary Tribute" light, and use that color scheme. ;)

Dave and Cary, all your pics are awesome. Cary, this last pic just makes the viewer want to pick that light up. I am excited as hell about this one - it'll be a perfect mate to my Thud LT. Should be receiving my shipping notice soon. :thumbsup:

Thanks Troy. :)

This light does make a good mate to the Thud LT (I have one too), although I think this one looks nicer (sorry Thud!). The knurling adds some nice variety and Tain's execution of knurling is always excellent. :)

I'm glad to hear you are getting one too!

So how is the switch? Is it like the older electronic buttons that are unobtainable, like in the Thud LT?
