Sorry I did not see this until today, we tested it and below is the data, please note that it's convex lens instead of reflector.
It's 23000 Lux and effective range of 305 meters.
I'm all in on the deal :thumbsup:. Let me know what happens next.
Hi Sunwayman,
I have a T25C is transit to me, so I am now shopping for batteries. Can you help with these questions?
At 880 lumens, my guess is that a button-top, protected version of the Panasonic NCR18650B battery would be a good choice for the T25C. What do you think?
- Does the T25C require a button-top battery?
- Does the T25C have a low-voltage cutoff that turns off the flashlight when the battery voltage gets too low?
I just got it a couple days ago. Took me a bit to get used to it..and it took me a day to even decide if I liked it. Overall it's pretty good. Focusing the lens is a bit slow though. Takes me 5 turns from full beam to spotlight. I'm quite impressed with the throw, when zoomed to spot. Far better than other (cheaper) zooming lights that I've seen. The switch is funky on mine too. Supposed to advance through the modes (from off) by pressing it half-way. However for me it doesn't always advance. It can be on low, and remain there though several presses before it switches to medium. It advances completely though by fully clicking it each time. The other thing I noticed, is that the only way to get the FULL output on turbo is to use two 18350's! (or two CR123's) I tried two AW 16340's...and it wouldn't stay on in turbo more than about 2 minutes. It kept shutting off. Works perfectly in turbo on the IMR 18350's. But with just one 18650, the jump from high to turbo was negligible.
My Sunwayman T25C arrived yesterday. It is a 1x18650, compact zoomie. It uses a 38mm convex lens in conjunction with a reflector, so the focused beam is pretty good. Flood is excellent.
The UI is a little funky. The T25C has a forward-clicky, tail-cap switch, so you have to set the mode using half-presses, before you click to lock it in. Here is how it works.
Start with the T25C powered off. All of the half-presses below end with the flashlight on. If you release the switch, the flashlight powers off, and you have to start over.
Note that this is different from what the User Manual describes.
- Before doing anything else, you have to turn on the power. Use a long half-press for this. Be sure to hold long enough to establish that the flashlight is powered on. The flashlight powers up in the mode stored in mode memory.
- With the flashlight on, a quick double-half-press activates Strobe mode.
- Otherwise, use a series of slightly longer half-presses to cycle through constant modes. The sequence is Low, Mid, High, and Turbo. The mode you select is stored in mode memory.
- In Strobe mode, use half-presses to cycle through the other blinky modes. The sequence is Strobe, SOS, Beacon. A quick double-half-press will exit the blinky modes, and return to the constant-brightness mode stored in mode memory.
- When you see the mode you want, click all the way to lock it in.
Overall, my first impression is good. I may have found my new favorite indoor flashlight. Indoors, I tend to prefer the flood mode of a zoomie more than the hot spot and spill of a flashlight that has a reflector.
Neutral tint and higher CRI would make this even better.
I won this flashlight in a Sunwayman giveaway. Thank you, Sunwayman!
