One of Lumintop latest releases, is the SD20. The SD20 runs on 1x 18650 or 2x CR123. With a max of 900 lumens, it quite a powerhouse for his size
The packaging:
The SD20 comes in a nice white, black and blue cardboard box. On the sides you find some information about the light. On the back is a spec overview.
Inside the box you'll find the SD20, a holster, lanyard, manual and spare o-ring.
Specifications: (given by Lumintop)
You'll have no problem, finding that big-button in the dark Since the SD20 uses a side-switch, the light has a flat tailcap. Perfect for tailstanding
A nicely centered led with textured reflector. And a stainless steel bezel to protect the light, and giving it a nice touch.
The threads are smooth and came well lubed. The ring a the back, for the lanyard, spins freely around the battery-tube.
Lumintop did a good job on the body, but I did want to see a slightly sturdier spring in the tailcap.
Sits nicely inside the holster, which is also easy to attach to a belt or backpack.
And a look down the tube
With a spring at both ends of the battery-tube, using a flat-top cell shouldn't be a problem.
Size comparison:

Indoor Beamshots:
Light approx 0.75 and camera 1 meter in front of wall. Tested with Eagletac 2900 18650 battery.
F/5, 1/250 sec, ISO400. Canon 500D

Video:
Video taken with my Nexus 4, so quality isn't that great
Conclusion:
Lumintop has released another nice light, with high output in a small package. The SD20 is easy to use and fill fulfill most tasks.
It's small enough to slip into your pocket or you can use the provided holster. My sample had a slight blue tint, but I didn't notice this to much outdoors.
Some may like the big-button, and some would wish it was a little bit smaller. Since the body hasn't any anti-roll feature, the button will stop it rolling
Overall, I like it :thumbsup:
