S10R uses single CR123A or RCR123A/16340 battery.
Too long protected 16340 batteries could be a problem for switching mode group.
There is enough aluminum to deal with the heat.
My sample arrived with no sign of grease on the O-ring.Very hard to unscrew the head.
My first step was to grease it well.The threads are also not as clean as expected.
Side grooves provide excellent grip.
S10R can tail-stand.
Size comparison to other good lights and different battery types.
Practical pocket clip. Good options for attaching.
Can be used as a headlamp.
Reversible clip, made of premium grade 304 stainless steel, sandblasted and matte.
Innovative design pocket clip.The flashlight can be attached head-up or head-down.
Looks very sturdy.Its edges are not smoothed very well.It's not too stiff and is convenient to use.
Good knurling.It's too aggressive in my opinion,but that is made for good grip.
Nice tough switch cover with the brad logo.
Well anodized body,but there are some spots between the cooling fins,on my sample.
On the rest of the flashlight anodizing is excellent.Looks very sturdy.
Military Specification Type III- hard anodized body
Thick stainless steel bezel protects the head,reflector and glass from impact.
Deep,wide orange peel aluminum reflector-Diameter ~19,5mm.
Well centered LED.
Anti-reflective coated,tempered ultra clear glass.
The light from the XM-L2 LED used here is nice cool white,no greenish or yellowish tint.The beam is floody-big hotspot with very useful spill.Excellent light for every day use-walking,outdoor sport,close range work,reading etc.
User Interface
There are 7 output modes in two groups.
First group- Head tightened- Low,Medium,High (no memory)
There are also hidden SOS and Slow flash modes.They can be activated after second cycle of the Low,Medium,High.
Low-Medium-High-Low-Medium-High-SOS-Slow flash
Second group- Head loosened-Strobe,Turbo (no memory)
Choosing the mode happens by half pressing the switch.Full press(click)to lock the mode.
While on Low,Medium,High,SOS or Slow flash-Loosening the head activates Turbo.Tightening back activates Low brightness mode.
My sample requires head to be maximum (impossible with one hand) tightened to activate the regular modes group.

Excellent grip for 88mm long flashlight.
Because of the thick water sealing O-ring,tightening and loosening the head is not easy.

Conclusion
Beautiful,very handy flashlight,very useful light for different needs.Nice lightweight body.Good quality for the price.
I would like to see a less bright low mode-about 2 lumens.
Sunwayman S10R is a good choice for EDC light.
