Got mine today, love the new interface!!
You can disable the strobe function on stutter!!
It was pointless to use the prior model as a weapon light.
This thing rocks, good job on reacting to the market EagleTac!
I got the P20C2 as a companion and am equally impressed with it as well.

How green is the tint?
Any chance to get some beamshots? And: how do you access the strobe if you want to (I want it :) )
This light looks promising!

Thanks
Karsten

Thanks for the .pdf link. So, I noted three differences.

One, the P20C2 bezel & body diameter is less so doesn't accept a 18650 cell like the T20C2. Two, the P20C2 accepts RCR123, where the T20C2 does not. Three, differences in the ET drop in module they accept.

Can anyone comment on the difference between P20C2, and T20C2 beams, in practice.

I can try to get some beamshots up tonight.
It may be coincidence but my P20C2 MK II is greener than the T20C2 MK II.
Still happy with the color rendition on both, but the T20C MKII is noticeably whiter.
Similar beams and spill, but the T20 has a brighter spot with less distortion.
Both my lights are smooth bezel as well. Lots of spill, which I don't mind.
Much tighter beam than my old T10C2 however. Happy they included SOS mode too.

Are you using the T20C2 with 18650? If so does the output seem the same as with 2 x CR123?

Are the beams pretty smooth or a big ringy with the smooth reflector?

Thanks

I don't see any green is nubus's pic of the T20 and a little in the P20 as for my P20 MKII it looks more like his T20. If there is any green in mine I can't see it and if their is its far less minty green then the Quark R5 or even my PD30 R4.

I have also become very picky about tint but nothing with my P20's tint bothers me the least.

If the fear of green tint is holding you back don't fold just yet atleast wait and see if their is more white tints like mine.

It was a white wall, but I have not color corrected or white balanced or posted a color deviation schedule for your monitors. (j/k)
My T20 is whiter, but they are both whiter than my PD30 Q5.
It really isn't noticable until I put them side by side.
@ 50 yds. the T20 did have a tighter spot than the P20, as I expected it to.
Very happy with both lights, looking to weapon mount the T20 next!
Coyotes beware!

thanks nubus. :)
maybe I should wait for the neutral white XP-G... :popcorn:

on the T20C2, do you see a darker center spot? do you have an OP reflector to compare with? my Quark Turbo has a very visible dark center spot outdoor even at 50 meters and I was hoping EagleTac's SMO/OP reflector will do away with this.

I can't speak for the T20 but my older P20C2 R2 also had the dark center and I put a OP reflector in and it took the dark spot out with minimal throw loss.

Now my new P20 R5 also has the same dark spot in the hotspot and I can't just simply swap reflectors since the emitter and reflector are together as a drop in or rather a screw in. So before you order be sure which reflector you want. Also from the couple beam shots I seen of the T20 R5 it doesn't appear to have a dark spot like the P20.
