Help me decide: Olight M20 vs. SF LX2

[DimeRazorback]

It is a more floody beam compared to the Aluminum M20 and I don't know what sort of output it has in comparison.

But like I said, it is a floody beam not a 'thrower' like the original M20, so you can't really compare the two.

It will definitely have more output though.

id go with TK12 , best regulation , nice beam and if its like all other fenixs it has very good spill

Lx2 all the way. You can use it as a round file, firesteel striker, more expensive paperweight, sure you can buy 2 m20 but he you manage to wreck your lights easily then you can get infinite replacements from surefire.

I've owned a few Surefire's before so I know the quality is there. Not an easy decision for me though. Still sorta on the fence, but leaning towards the M20 or even a TK-11 after seeing some beam shots. I don't beat the crap out of my lights and don't need them to have perfect anodizing. So it will come down to which UI I like and overall brightness.


Which would you say has more useful spill?

Just curious why M20 or TK11, and not newer lights like TK12 or T100C2 with better regulation?

I am actually still contemplating on the M20 Ti.

Surely that ought to be bright and even if they over-rate(TM) their output... out of 500 lumens it should at least be 350 in SureFire-lumens?

I have some beamshots of M20 here, both regular and Ti model.

Evidence??

You do know that the chinese manufactures over-rate their output, and Surefire under-rates theirs don't you??

My LX2 is definitely brighter than my M20... nicer tint too.

I have both, if I could only keep one it would be the LX2. And not because it cost more:thumbsup:

If you want an Olight M20- I might consider selling you mine. I rarely use it.

Jeez, throw in that Eagletac, and now i don't really know what to do. Maybe I'll just get the Surefire and if I don't like it I can always unload it here.

Hmmm, what to do what to do.

 

[climbinglife]

Ok after much thinking, i decided on the LX2....and a Eagletac T100C2 MKII.

We'll see which one I like better. It seems the ET is in the same vicinity as the M20, TK-10,11,12 But for 45-50 bucks, thats a hell of a deal. The reviews seem positive.

And the SF...We'll see if I like it. :twothumbs


Thanks everyone for all your help, really.
