Nitecore D20

[Roland]

Same here. My allen set does not go that small and the included allen fits one screw perfectly but the other screw seems to have a wider screw hole. So there might be 2 different screws that were used.

I was under the impression that the ramping bug was fixed in D20? Well it doesn't seem so. If I fully tighten the lights head(and it goes directly to max) and then press and hold tailcap button, brightness doesn't decrease at all. Only after I press + hold the second time, it starts to dim down. Is this normal?:thinking:

Mine does exactly the same.
But it does not always switch on on maximum brightness and when it switches on on a lower level (sometimes after a short time off only??) it ramps up to max fine.

I run into this, and I usually blame myself for not pressing too firmly. Just recently I did press extra firm, and had to try a second time to get the dimming to work. I don't know whether or not it has to do with flaky contact at the ring, or some sort of mandatory delay required before ramping.

Regardless, it's a small annoyance on a very good light. I wouldn't let it influence my own purchase, but I might hesitate buying this light for a non-flashaholic.

Got mine last week ... it's a little brighter than my l2d-ce (as it should be)

Unfortunately, I don't know where my fenix is for direct comparison (darn kids) but i'm pretty impressed with the build quality. My old Fenix feels like a second class citizen compared to the Nitecore.

Overall, i'm happy with it and would order it again.

I just wanted to add that I was able to get the screws out using standard pliers. It was rather easy actually.
