    Sunwayman V11R has become a strobe light

    Right now it's got the EdisonBright CR123A that came with the light. I'll try a new battery when I get home tonight.

    Sunwayman V11R has become a strobe light

    I have a Sunwayman V11R U2 that I purchased back in April. I carry almost every day. It gets used probably no more that 5 - 10 minutes per week. It is well taken care of and not abused. Recently, the light has started to "strobe" near the brightest setting. After backing the magnetic ring back...

    Headlight Recommendation

    Hunting season is almost here and I've lost my old headlamp. I would like recommendations for a new light to help me find my way through the woods at 4:00 AM. Although primarily used for hunting, I will also use it around the house when I need extra light while using two hands. Finally, if I...

    Americans need SCHOOLED by the Europeans on roundabouts

    Kentucky actually distinguishes between traffic circles and roundabouts. In KY, a traffic circle has unimpeded flow of traffic, i.e. no yield or stops signs as you enter the circle; the roundabout has yield or stop signs before entering. We seem to have the opposite problem here to what others...

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    Just wanted to let you know that I really love the V11R. I carry it almost constantly now, and use it much more often than I thought I would -- even in the day time. My ultimate validation came a couple of weeks ago when we were all sitting in the living room playing a game late one Saturday...

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    OK, I ordered the Sunwayman V11R. Problem is, it was a close contender with a Zebralight SC52 (which I don't think that particular model was recommended here, but it looks good to me), so I'll probably have to get another light in the not-to-distant future. Thanks again for the help!

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    Does anyone have any thoughts on Extreme Beam SAR5? Single CR123 battery, on/off - no multiple lighting modes to switch through, no overheating risk, can take rechargeables.

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    So it looks to me as if the Sunwayman V11R will not reach the full 500 lumen output when using the CR123 battery, and thus will not have any danger of overheating, is that correct? The only concern would be when using RCR123 (aka 16340?)?

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    Question about the Sunwayman V11R: The warning on a website says, "CAUTION: Do not run the light continuously at turbo mode for more than 5 minutes." My question is, why not? What will happen? Also (OK, so now it's two questions), any recommendations for a place (or website) to purchase? Thanks....

    Interested in a small (4-6") flashlight for EDC

    I am looking for a small flashlight for EDC. I'm OK with with using CR123 batteries. It would be nice if the light could use rechargeable batteries, but it's not necessarily a requirement. I filled out the checklist below, and will be interested in seeing your recommendations. Thanks...
