Hello guys, my first MT-G2 flashlight arrived ca. one week ago, I would like to share my experience
Official infos
Description:
Employ Xlamp MT-G2 emitter supply max output 2750 lumen and beam distance 518meters.
TN35 combined TN30 and TN31 characteristics and found a balance between flood and throw.
TN35 could be your best choice if you are looking for a wide-using flashlight.
Key Features:
- Improved UI for more lumens
- Ultra-clear tempered glass lens with anti-reflective coating.
- Momentary forward click tactical switch.
- Strobe mode for tactical and emergency use.
- Smooth reflector for max light output.
- Highly focused beam for maximum distance
- Tactical knurling for firm grip.
- Streamlined body design.
- Mechanical reversed polarity protection design for battery carrier.
- Intelligent highly efficient circuit board design for max performance and long run time.
- Specially designed for Military, Law Enforcement, Self-defense, Hunting, Search & Rescue and Outdoor activities.
- Intelligent temperature controlled light output for user safety.

Operation
Turn ON/OFF
Press down and release the tail-switch to turn the flashlight on/off.
1. Switch ON: Press the tail cap button down completely until a "click" sound is heard and flashlight turns on.
2. Switch OFF: Press the tail cap button down a second time until a "click" sound is heard and light is turned off.
Changing Modes
With the light turned on, rotating the Control Ring to select six levels of brightness, stand-by and strobe smoothly.
My Impressions
Pros
+ Very nice and practical packing, the carrying case quality is very similar as Olight SR9x series carrying cases
+ Excellent build quality, machining quality, scratch free anodizing
+ Nice design
+ Perfectly centered led, excellent beam quality without rings!
+ Dust free reflector and AR coated lens, both looks high quality
+ Easy one hand operation
+ Standby mode on the ring
+ NO pwm flickering, NO buzzing sound, all modes perfect! (pwm flickering free "feature" is one of the most important thing for me)
+ Well spaced modes
+ Real low mode with extreme long runtime (0.3lm, 46 days)
+ The MT-G2 led performance looks really awesome with beautiful neutral white tint
+ Good throwing capable, but the beam is versatile and suitable in lot of situations
+ Battery holder no rattle in the tube
+ You can use standard 18650 size unprotected cells easily, batteries fit perfectly. This is a good point for me (I recommend unprotected cells for advanced users only!)
+ Excellent knurling surface on body tube
+ Simple UI, left to right: 0.3lm, 24lm, 380lm, 950lm, 1600lm, 2750lm, standby and strobe
+ Tail stand / candle mode capable (stable)
+ Simple, good quality holster
+ Good price/value ratio
Cons
- No real cons for me now, maybe, the control ring could be more precise (slightly moving up and down direction)
Other comments
I would like a real-time battery indicator (Supbeam X60 solution would be perfect)
I hope more and more MT-G2 flashlights coming in near future, this led is simply awesome
Now this is one of my favourite flashlight, I hope long time reliability will be OK
Recommended accessories (batteries, chargers etc.)
