Klarus XT20 Review

[varuscelli]

One thing I haven't seen anywhere yet is relative size compared to other flashlights. So, if anyone finds it of interest, here are a couple of shots with a ZebraLight SC600 and a Dereelight DBS (both single 18650 battery flashlights compared to two 18650s in the XT20).

I was told from Klarus that the different reflectors was a last minute change. Klarus said that the two different reflectors give the XT20 a "more beautiful beam". Klarus forgot to change the manual. It sounds like that in the future Klarus XT20 will offer the two diffferent reflectors set up.

I like this light only problem for me is now, where can I get it in Europe ?

Hi, in Germany you can get it here: www.schiermeier.biz

Compared to the SC600, it's giant!

Although new to this addiction I'm already in way too deep!

Thanks for the great review and another dent in my painfully thin wallet.

Personally,I love the design aspect of this light. It should make an excellent addition

to my recently acquired TK-45.

Interesting flashlight! I would like to see a runtime graph of the highest mode. 2hours seems too good to be true, I suspect that it isn't stable for that time?
According to the specifications the 1200lm mode provides more light-hours than the 370lm mode which is a bit strange, because usually the efficiency drops with higher output, but here it's the opposite. However, I am looking forward to a runtime graph.

The UI on this torch is simply amazing for a weapon mounted light, very nice design and extremely effective out to 225 yards:

I hope this is the best place to post this. I have several XT20's coming and I talked to a representative of Klarus directly in the hopes to shed some light on the smoot/OP reflectors. I was told that the "default" combination is one of each. Individual re-sellers or distributors can special order them with both op or smooth but they must order 50 or more. They seem to think one of each gives the light the best of both worlds. ALSO......the gentleman decided to tease me and told me they have much more in store in the very near future.

Can anyone tell me what the tactical ring actually does?

Can anyone tell me what the tactical ring actually does?

it provides 4 additional spots to attach a lanyard

it enhances grip, prevents light from slipping out of hand, so you can beat someones skull with the light///I mean use it as self-defense tool

My beam with the 2 smooth reflectors has a very slight hole in it's beam. Maybe that's why they went with the SMO and OP reflectors.

how does thislight compare to the Skilhunt DT-20 Night owl in terms of output and throw

Thanks for the great review. I've ordered one from Dino Direct. Patiently waiting for it...
