....and here's what I think. I like it. I really like it. I wanted a tactical style led light with multilevels that had a good beam and I got it. I have the Olight T20 Military model with 5 modes. 7lm, 60lm, 220 lm, strobe and SOS. I work as a supervisor in a manufacturing plant on the night shift. We keep most of our inventory and stock outside over an area that covers about 4 city blocks with a minimal amount of lighting. A decent flashlight is pretty much required and I had a lot of opportunities to test this one out. First off the size is just right for belt carrying and not getting in the way. I much prefer a forward clickie and the last mode memory is a good thing. Changing modes only takes a quick twist of the head and with only 5 modes you can cycle through them pretty quick. But you are probably interested in the beam so here's my opinion. The 60lm setting is just right for general use but kick it up to 220lm and WOW!!! The half dimpled/smooth reflector is a good idea. It throws a bright spot with a good flood that has no rings. A very brilliant and intense white light that illuminates my 120 yard shooting target in my backyard pretty darn well considering it's size. This thing is crazy bright outside and I don't have any light pollution so it just seems that much more impressive. I really don't have much use for the strobe but I did bust into the office and flip the lights off while hitting strobe for a few seconds. My swing shift partner just sat at his computer with a dazed look on his face saying "What the @#$%...Holy *&^% that's bright! What in the $%^& is that $%^& thing! I really like this light. Battery runtime seems to be pretty good too. But I must admit that I have been using a tactical style light with the RCR123's and a mini xenon bulb. I usually got one or two days out of a battery charge. I can see that I will easily do better than that but I haven't used it long enough to evaluate battery usage yet.
Bottom line. I like this light. It is almost exactly what I was looking for and meets or exceeds my expectations. I really don't need the strobing feature or the SOS but it's really not in the way. I can't even believe that I used to think that a mini-maglite was bright.
Buy this light and you won't be sorry. I've never messed with a Fenix but I don't see how they could be any better. Honestly.
