Why is it that everytime I finally pull the trigger and buy a light, the company (Olight in this case) comes out with a better version of the same light that I just bought???

Am I the only one that is cursed with this bad luck??? :sick2:

M20 R5's are shipping now - the M20S R5 with the side switch is still another week or two out.

Omg finally. Couldn't do away with the twisting/untwist UI. I hate to be a hater but gotta say it.
Should make a non-stobe model too!

Edit: If that came out too strongly I didn't mean so

Matt, does this version have the same driver as the R2 version?

Will this be completely regulated with an 18650?



Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's the same driver.

I prefer to twist the head over any light that changes modes when I momentarily press the tailcap. That drives me nuts. I would be happy to never see another flashlight with the strobe function.

How does the M20 manage 4 hours at 320 lumens when the comparable Fenix TK11 only lasts 2.7 hours at 285 lumens? Even accounting for some marketing inflation that seems pretty significant.

I think it has to do with the battery. The TK11 is saying 2hrs using a 2200mah 18650 while the Olight is 3hrs using a 2500mah, that would be my guess.



I am going to wait for the side switch model.

I am looking forward to that. I already have the M30 and I really like it. The side switch is nice and I really like having instant access to the strobe.

I was wondering that myself. Another comparable is the EagleTac T20C2 Mk II with the R5. That's only 1.7 hours at 380 lumens. Is some magic going on with the M20 R5?

I think the eagle is OTF lumens and the Olight is emmiter lumens. The Eagletac may be driven harder.

If latest version M20-R5 using the same driver from previous version M20.
1X18650 wont work well like previous problem
