Hi! Sorry for quite weird translation, its not easy for me to write in English :)

Russian version is here: http://forum.fonarevka.ru/showthread.php?t=1612



Got my M20A today from hkequipment. Here is unboxing and first impressions.



The flashlight was gently packed with bubble wrap :cool:

There is a box with flashlight inside and a 'letter' from seller :)

Box contents: a flashlight, sunwayman mini-catalog, removable clip, a lanyard, extra o-rings and a rubber cap.

There were also a user manual and guarantee, but whey were hidden inside box and I didit photo it ;)

What i liked:
  • Well done, solid, nice finish, nice anodised threads with grease.
  • Modes brightness differs a lot.
  • Magnetic ring is quite comfortable to use, but a little unusual.(as i didnt have similar lights before)
  • No PWM flickering

What I didn't like:
  • Threads in the tail were with .. eh.. rubbish? Well, I had to clean it ant put new grease.
  • Batteries rattle :mecry:
  • It used to roll away from any flat space without clip installed

The low mode is really low. Here are photos with 2s exp (med and low) and a Zera H30 on low for comparison.

DMN42, that's a good mini review! You were rocking the English quite well. Great pictures too. I hope to get a Sunwayman M20A soon.
