On some photos of the T60CS, on the Sunwayman web-page, you can see that there are Sunwayman 18650 batteries. Does anyone know more about those batteries?

TurboBB,
Can you please compare and contrast the beam of the TN30 VS the T60CS please. I have a TN30 and I love the output but I hated the artifacts in the beam. I think it has the most artifacts of any triple XML light I have ever seen. Thank You for your comment.

Bulk of review now up.
@V54 - as per my initial conclusion: "The T60CS offers a nice balance between flood and throw with a negligible amount of beam artificats produced from its "triflector" with the second cleanest beam profile of the four tri-XM-L lights using this type of reflector (tops goes to TM11 owing to its very shallow reflectors and super floody beam profile). The artifacts are really only noticeable indoors and likely will blend into the scenery when used outdoors. I will do a deeper dive into the beam profiles in an upcoming multi-emitter shootout thread"
I'm noticing a pattern and direct correlation w/the depth of the reflector and the artifacts produced (deeper = more artifacts).
I have the whitewall shots in OP (likewise for the TN30 in its review). I haven't had time to write a review on the TM11 (v1.12) so here are the whitewall shots for comparo purposes:
Also, you can hit up the links in my sig to compare indoor shots at 5m.
Cheers,
Tim

Thanks
-Still wonder why manufactures don't use the new 2900/3100mAh batteries?? I know some protected 3100mAh are to big (long) to put in most lights. Can be a reason..rufus001

Just compared this to my TM11 and it definitely beats it for lumens both on Turbo and Hi. The new lightweight champ!
Given the relatively shallow reflector, it's more of a flooder than thrower. It slots between the TM11 and TN30 in terms of flood/throw combo.
If you click on Pt. 2 of my indoor shots in my sig, you can compare beam profile vs. T40CS since you have that one (but there are many other lights you can compare to as well).
Hope that helps.

Tim

to turboBB - This is a great review! Good thing they went with the series battery config. for greater efficiency. A clean solid light! Thanks for all your work you put into it for the rest of us to enjoy!
to rufus: Just a few questions.
1) What about throw? Does it noticeably out throw the TM11 ?
2) How about tailstanding - does it wobble a lot?
thanks

@jh333233 - I forgot to mention, I have outdoor shots of TM11, TN30 and T40CS here:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...Camping-Report-(24-XM-L-lights-beamshots-vids)
As mentioned, the T60CS is in between the TM11 and TN30 for both flood and throw.
@carl - Thx! and until rufus replies, you can also check the link above for a rough idea of how the T60CS throw and beam profile will be like. It will out-throw the TM11 by a little. As for the tailstanding, as mentioned since the new end cap is slightly tapered, it does tend to wobble if not set down perfectly flat. It's definitely not as stable as the V60CS which has a perfectly flat base and only marginally worse than the TM11 which also has a tapered end.

Tim

No competition. Even if you ignore the T60CS turbo and compare it's high setting to the TM11's turbo I get at least 25% more lux. With fully charged batteries and on Turbo the difference would be even greater.
It doesn't wobble at all. It does sit on the smaller diameter charging port though and therefore is more susceptible to bumps than the TM11 though.
I hate to say it as the TM11 was my first proper "flooder" but the T60CS, in my opinion, is clearly the better torch.
