*********************PIC HEAVY**********************

As stated this will be a roundup comparison of the T10C2, CL1H v4 R2, TK11, TK10, E2DL, and M20 R2. It seems that a lot of people want to see pictures and beamshots of these lights together so, I thought I'd help out.I will be posting pictures of the lights, comparison beamshots, and individual beamshots. However, i will not be posting any runtime comparison's. I don't have a lightbox (but, if someone wants to paste them from other reveiws here just PM me, and I'll do it). This will probably take a couple days to finnish but, I hope to be complete by Sunday (Nov. 30). If anyone has any special requests let me know and I will try to accommodate. Hope this helps!!! :twothumbs

Left to Right in Order: T10C2, CL1H v4 R2, TK11, TK10, E2DL, M20 R2

As you can see the fit and finish of the T10C2 is excellent. The threads are very smooth, and all action is flawless. This would definitely be the best "bang for the buck" light of the bunch; perfect beam, great flood, as well as throw!!! :twothumbs More to follow!!

Dereelight CL1H v4 3SD R2:

Also, wonderful fit and finish, great HAIII no bare spots. Great, smooth threads, but a little rougher than the T10C2. This light has a great quality feeling when in the hand. Very bright, and great throw with the SMO reflector installed. It does have some rings in the beam, but like other lights I cannot see these in actual use. The CL1H v4 3SD R2 has the second longest throw of the lights compared here (but, not second by much). Only ousted by a hair due to the Olight M20 R2 Premium. The CL1H holds top rank for form factor IMHO, my favorite out of the group. It is very substantial.

Fenix TK11:

One of my all-time favorites!!! :twothumbs The TK11 was the throw champ in this format before the top two lights came out, and it only suffers a little to the new technology. Still, it's one of the most reliable, robust lights out there. TK stands for TANK...and it is. The battery tube, head, and tailcap are very thick, and even thicker yet on the TK10 model. Fenix left a lot of meterial behind to take a beating. The threads are superb, everything is very high quality...out-d@mn-standing if you ask me. Also, a great form factor!!! It fits very nicely in hand, and is very secure.

Fenix TK10:

100_4860.jpg


Same outstanding build quality as the TK11 (if not better) but less throw, more flood, and a lot prettier beam. And, personally I like the Natural HAIII better :D

Surefire E2DL:

The quality of a Surefire is always above average. These are the lights that make you feel like you could dive to the ocean floor, then take a rocket ship to the moon and because of it have survived...maybe it's just me :ohgeez: every good utilitarian flashaholic should have one (i would recomend all of them :D ) Of course the other lights in this roundup have the same top-notch build quality, but there's just somethin' about a SF. This SF in particular is all spot (which I dig) and no flood (ok a little). That being said the beam is still very useable, and pleasant. The brutality of it's form factor doesn't hurt either. Also, the fact that it can tailstand is a huge + in my book (the T10C2 is the only other light in this roundup that can also tailstand). Nuff said!!

Olight M20 Warrior R2 Premium:

The Olight M20 R2 is a fairly new addition to this class of light. There have been some reports on CPF of people having problems with the "low battery indicator" coming on frequently when it's not supposed to. Olight has stated that this would be covered as a warranty issue, and won't be a problem, and this feature has since been removed from the light. It has been reported to me that any and all of the few circumstances related to this have been corrected in a timely manner by Olight. I have not had any problems with this light on primaries or RCR's (18650 and RCR123's) to date. Other than that, this light exibits all of the same fine build components of the rest.

The M20 is the throw winner of the bunch, and with its good user interface, coupled with the ability to remember the last mode the light was in, makes the M20 R2 a very, very versatile light IMO. It's slightly larger than the rest of the lights here, but is still rather comfortable in hand (also, in pocket).


*On to the beamshots. I'm going to make these pic's smaller so I can fit them all in here. They will be in the same order as above, and I of course will also label them.

:D THERE ARE A FEW MORE...JUST FOR FUN!!! :whistle:




I think that the newest set of outdoor shot's are pretty true to life, at least by my eyes and i am happy with them. Although, the first set does say something about each beam in the outdoors. I took the first set almost directly on top of the beam from my balcony, you can definitely see the difference when standing away from each beam in the second sets.

I would like to point out in the pictures of the TK11, and TK10 (second set @ 30ft.) that the spill on both lights is almost the same. a lot of people bought the TK10 thinking it would have more flood to it. The only real difference i see in the two is the small CREE ring on a white wall (TK11), and of course throw (TK11). This was interesting to me, although this may only be specific to my models. I will have to test that (I have two TK11's, but the same one was used throughout the roundup). We shall seeeeee!!!!

"The quality of a Surefire is always above average." .. I like that.. how would you classify Fenix's build quality?

i've not had a fenix that i haven't been happy with out of the box. their build quality is very, very good. the only issues i've ever had with a fenix is the location of the emitter. sometime the emitter can be slightly off center. that really doesn't effect the light, but i notice it. but, as far as HAIII and material they are superb, and worth every penny.

i will try to get the beamshots up today!!!!

thanks everyone for lookin, and again if you have any special request's once i get the beamshots up let me know:thumbsup:

definitely look forward to beamshot comparisons. i knwo this might be difficult to ask, but any possibilities for beamshot comparisons outdoors? i really interested in TK11 and T10C2. one has regulated runtime and more lumen, other has better throw and longer diminishing-output runtime

Wow, just the round-up I'm looking for. Good stuff, I can't wait for beam shots. I've been humming and hawing over wether to get a CL1H, TK11, or M20 R2.

I can't buy all three, that would undermine the CPF motto of "Buy Both", there's no "Both" here, there's 3!
