Sunwayman V10R video review

I picked up a Sunwayman V10R and did a little video review of it. Its a pretty cool light overall. The dial is a little hard to feel if you don't look for it. Adding some texture to it would be a plus.

Nice review!

Thanks!

Very nice review indeed

I just got my V10R in the mail today. Seems we pretty much have the same exact pros and cons about it. I do love it though.

A pic of the V10R next to the light it replaced as my EDC:

Nice Review! But for the relatively same price, wouldn't a 460-lumen V10A be a better option?

Very nice, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

another great review snareman what did you end up doing with the jetbeam pc10 and how would you compare the two? thanks!

Did you mis-type that? I think the V10A is only 160 lumens.

Thanks. The Jetbeam has gone back to the motherland. I'd say this one is definitely better. button is better, construction is better, UI is a personal preference, but I think this one is better. Now I'm trying to talk myself into (or out of) and HDS light, but am having trouble swallowing the $200 price tag.

The V10A, V20A, V10R all are the exact same. The difference is the writing on the bezel and the size of the battery tube. Lego to your hearts content. The performance will vary depending on the voltage and current capabilities of the cells used. SWM has recently changed the way they claim performance. They now base their claim on 1.5V batteries and ANSI specs.

The V10A is available in XP-G R5 for 140 lumens, or in the newly released XM-L T6 version for 110 lumens on an Eneloop NiMH, or 460 lumens on a 14500 lithium rechargeable battery.
As usual, Asia gets the XM-L T6 version first - the West will receive it very shortly, if its not already available...

nope, its 460 on a 14500. BOOM! I was going for a PA10 for 650, but the one-mode 14500 turned me right off and into this light!

You can order them off the HK sites and on Ebay.

Where did you buy yours from Roadkill - may I ask?

Thanks, I refreshed the screen too late...

no problem, bro! V10A or V10R, both great lights! It really boils down to your preference of cell to use.

Wow. Impressive!

I think the V10R is my next light. Reference the HDS your thinking about, stop thinking and go for it there great!

Best price I find is LightJunction with discount code.

It's at the top of my short list.
