If they had sent a headband with it, I'd of course be happy to send it along...but I didn't even know they offered it as an accessory. Will not be included in this giveaway, but thanks for the idea.
(Sunwayman shipped the light to me a while ago...I meant direct from the manufacturer in the sense that it didn't go through a retailer, or through my collection first...it is a brand new light they shipped to me expressly for the giveaway.)
The side emitter is indeed quite floody. For me personally, that isn't a problem...I like headlamps to be diffuse...but it is true that it would have almost zero throw. For indoor use, working on a car, narrow wooded paths, it would be great. But if you have large open areas, another type would probably suit you better.
One more tidbit...unlike the C21C, the C22C's emitters can be used simultaneously. You can have both the main and side emitter on at the same time.

Yeah, that's why it's a beautiful idea - it would let me light up the path ahead and just behind so we can all walk on some light :)

I'll take the Sunwayman C22C!
Ironic, I had fallen out from flaholism a while back an kind of missed it but feared how much I missed out on.
In my daily ramblings about garage I found a Sunwayman in box I had ordered some time ago. Though it had a horrible grinding when opening it up, it made my skin crawl a bit.
I intended to return it and order another for myself but never got around to it, the retailer had no problem as to help me I just never got around to doing it.
Well I figure what do I have to lose, maybe I can get it cleaned up some and use it for yard work etc. Well after playing with it a bit, I noticed the there had a slight bur, and after opening and closing it several times, they cleaned right up. So I cleaned the threads again, super lube ftw. And it's perfect.
It's like a complete win, new light waiting to be used and it has a neat boost mode that my other lights lacked.
It turns out, it's a great little light, so I've gifted to my son as a great edc, S10A.
I miss it already lol.
So this is a great chance to get another and keep a Sunwayman in rotation for my use.
Thank you do much for that chance.
Have a great day.

I'll take the Sunwayman C22C, please.
This is definitely an interesting light, and the more I think about it, the more it seems that the side emitter is not such a gimmick as was my first impression - but would in fact be useful in many ways.
For any who wax nostalgic about the 80's and silly 80's action movies, here is a 30 minute film that is definitely worth your time:

My story is how I started to bring my edc: At the start of my flashaholism, I don't bring any of my lights for fear of them getting scratched.Then one day me and
my cousin went to a small mountain resort. Suddenly I got a bum stomach and had to use the restroom...Well, you guessed it...there was no power in that place at the time and the room was pitch dark. That's the day I realized that a light that is not with you, no matter how nice and bright, is utterly useless.

Answer to poll: I would probably prefer the Orange/Black combo. Very bright, utility oriented, and something I can see with my tired old eyes!

I can't bring myself to pick UofM colors so red/grey is my choice (though I'm not an OSU fan either). I have to say my FIL was a huge UofM football fan (Go Blue!).

Yes! There is no point of buying a torch if you are only going to keep in a drawer somewhere. [emoji16] Unless it is one of those nice spy007 torches. They cost lots of $$$

"I'll take the Sunwayman C22C"
When you think you've seen everything, there's always more http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=WT18891005.2.33.21
I first read about it in a copy of the magazine "Nature", dated about 1890. The news article is from the Waikato Times of October 5th 1889. What follows is the plain text.
ARSENIC-EATING.
In some countries, especially in Austria (though the practice is not unknown in England), arsenic is given to cattle and horses to render the skin bright and glossy. In Styria arsenic is taken by the peasant girls to increase their personal attractions ; and it has been definitely ascertained that over a considerable area in the south-west of Austria, including Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Tyrol, Lower Austria, and the Erzgebirge, arsenic-eating is largely practised by man, who nevertheless attain a healthy old age. Arsenic-eaters, who generally begin the use of the drug secretly, say that it improves the complexion, increases the digestive powers and so strengthens the respiratory organs as to enable the bearers of heavy burdens to climb mountains with ease. At first a dose may be taken once a week, afterwards daily, and there are authenticated cases of men who consume six grains— enough to poison three men—at one dose without inconvenience. Once the habit is established it is impossible to give up arsenic-eating ; terrible heart-gnawings following any attempt gradually to stop the practice ; and sudden cessation causes death. That arsenic can be taken habitually for any length of time with impunity was formerly regarded as a physiological impossibility ; and yet the fact is established on unquestionable evidence.

Hey All!
Got the Tank 007 E09 that I won last week yesterday, and would like to give you a short report.
The UI is a bit strange for a small keychain light, but does have a “feature” that I think can be quite useful “if” you can remember to do it each time.
The light goes H-M-L-H-M-L-H, BUT, here is the Trick – The light has a memory so that it will come on in your last used mode “if” you let that mode run for more than 3 seconds.... So, if you always want it to come on in Low, then you must go to Low before you shut it off, AND you must let it run for at lease 3 seconds in Low. – If you just shift it to Low and then shut it right Off, next time you turn it on, Surprise!... 100+ lumens! - You see, High, will Always follow Low if you don't stay in Low long enough. H-M-L-H-M-L-H.
Use in on High for a while, shut it off, and when you turn it on again it will be in High. – Nice! – Just leave it in High for a second, turn it off, and it will Start in Med... Gotta remember the 3sec rule.
So you see, you can have what you want as long as you can remember to think like a Tank 007 E09:-) - This sorta explains the conflicting reports of just what the order is in the UI. – No mention at all of any of this in the “owners manual”:-)
Beam is tighter than most due to the smaller XPE emitter; most lights in this class are now using XPG class and some even XML size. – The newer lights being “XP-G2”, etc. – This light does not “feel” to the eye like a AAA Keychain light does, but rather seems more like the beam from a Full-Size flashlight, due to the Throwy beam profile, and the rather hard driven emitter.
“Tint” is Warmer CW or Cooler NW, and I don’t think that it would offend anyone – I Like It a Lot!
Output? – Just going by eye here and guessing, as I have no instrumentation:
Low 1-2 lumens.
Mid – This level is harder for me to guess, 30-35 lumens?
High – Harder still, 100+ lumens?; whatever it is, it’s A Lot for a tiny light!
Runtime? – Don’t know yet, but I can’t expect much at this level of output on High.
My only other AAA light is a Flooder, a Rayus C01 with 29 lumen Nichia 219. (single mode). Wonderful for up close tasks, but too bright to read by, and little throw.
I would like to take the opportunity to once again thank Doc, not for just this light, but for maintaining this thread; a place where we can all get together!
Thanks Again!
