Comparable to my OLIGHT S30
"Actually a whiter,ever so slightly brighter but other wise similar throw and beam pattern. Great value purchased here on a sale - not sure I could be as happy paying full retail, but who is? The size is perfect - but I worry about how it may last / hold up. I purchased (2) - and one has a tail-cap issue. At 1st it stopped working and investigation revealed its spring detached from the end cap - its been wiggled into a spot where luckily it still sometimes 'works'-but how dependably and for how long? Stay tuned. . . . and I called Customer Service but COVID has a remote system in operation that is slower to respond - fingers crossed : AGAIN - zero issues with beam or brightness with 3400mAh 3. 7 bat."

well made
"I bought several of these to give away as christmas presents. Turbo requires a DECENT 18650 battery. If your battery cant provide the amperage youre not going to see turbo do much more. At the price I got them at here i thought they would be 'cheap' and not compare to my much more expensive lights. So far they seem fantastic. Turbo heats up pretty fast so it automatically kicks down to the next lower level. ALSO the 'low' setting is rated at 16 lumens here but its a tad bright for walking around the house trying not to wake up the baby. Very compact I keep one of these in glovebox too. You can charge it via the microusb but that gets hot fast,,,I prefer using my nitecore external charger,"

Perfect for pocket
"With night blindness, I have had to carry a flashlight from room to room after dark. This small, powerful light is perfect to carry in my pocket. Goodbye giant nuisance!"

Great little light
"Never heard of the brand before, but as one of the Thanksgiving leftover deals BJ was offering I thought I'd take a chance. Glad I did. Very ample amount of light for the size, simple operation, sturdy, and seems like it will be reliable. After receiving it & playing around with it a bit, stuffed it in the coat pocket (no pocket clip but I don't care) as the EDC and haven't had a second thought about doing so. Solid product."

Good Basic Light
"I got two Sunwayman C41CT's and both work as advertised. They recharge fine with the micro USB setup, after I put an 18650 battery in each. No battery or cables were included. The operating system is simple, with a single side button, which comes on on the last mode used and cycles through the 4 brightness settings, if you hold the button down. If you double click, you get a bright strobe, then another quick click gives you SOS. I compared the brightest setting to a Klarus XT2C and a Klarus XT11 and this was similar in brightness. The spot is a little larger on the C41CT and it may not have thrown the spot as quite far in a dark area. All of the lights made things visible out to 100 yards or so. I got these lights on sale and they compared well to the more expensive lights used in the test."

Turbo mode doesn't work.
"Love the light except that turbo mode doesn't work. All the other modes work fine, it just doesn't get brighter when switching to turbo. There's a flicker, but no change in brightness."

A QUALITY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
"Appears to be very well made. Controls work precisely. Lots of choices for levels of brightness. Very bright on the highest setting. Like the choice of batteries - 123s or rechargeables. Happy with this purchase."

Very small size with high output
"This is a very small flashlight that puts out a lot of light. I honestly think its claim of 1000 LU is accurate. The tint is Cool White with a nice, smooth center hotspot and blends into a good sized spill light. The checkering is nice, but the finish is still a bit on the slippery side. Especially the tailcap. The flashlight can be unscrewed into three parts. I found the threads came lubed but were not as finely finished (machined) as I have seen with other brand flashlights. Even though there is a spring at the tailcap end, unless the parts are screwed together completely as tight as they will go, the flashlight will not work. The modes are listed as Turbo at 1000 LU, High at 580 LU, Med at 130 LU and Low at 16 LU. I found Turbo and High very close together. The Strobe and SOS modes worked just fine with quick double clicks. No runtime is listed for Turbo, however, I found with a fresh Titanium 3400 battery, I got a little over a minute before it ramped down. High was listed at 2. 5 hours, but after ramping down from Turbo, I found a noticeable drop after only 1. 5 hours. The amount of light was still useable, it just was not anywhere near 580 LU in my opinion. I did not conduct runtime tests on the lower modes. The side button works as a charging indicator and will flash green while charging and will turn steady green when finished. I found by using the built in USB charging port, the green ready light came on at only 4. 15v. Even after leaving it plugged in for another hour, it remained at 4. 15v. I was finally able to reach full capacity of 4. 20v by finishing it off in an external charger in about another 30 minutes. The light came with two spare o-rings, metal lanyard ring and nice lanyard with a quick release swivel clasp. I am satisfied with this purchase."
