Thoughts on the sunwayled M10R vs Fenix digital PD20?

Hey guys,

I have been looking around at different types of one cell led's. I bought a surefire E1b yesterday, Im waiting on the LX1 and I just came across this little M10R, anyone have any thoughts or experiences with it? Its the first time Ive ever really heard/seen anything about this light. It seems like a pretty good deal with 190 lumens for around $70, and it looks like there is quite a bit of quality involved. But Im not sure that is why I ask! My selling points would be the small size under 3.5 inches (great for edc) and 190 lumens. what do you think? Enlighten me....
Edit: Hmmm Just noticed the Fenix PD20, Maybe this is something to look into?

All comments are appreciated! Thanks!

lovecpf

I've got the PD20 and it's been a work horse so far. It feels solid, it's pretty bright for its size, and has a pretty simple UI. It's not perfect though, my PD20 has a yellowish/greenish beam, the dreaded reverse clicky, and it doesn't accept rechargeables. But like I said, it's still a solid light and after having been dropped on several occasions during use, it still keeps on going. :thumbsup:

If you like the UI/look of the M10R, you may want to check out the JetBeam RRT-0. The RRT-0 seems to have more of a track record than the newer M10R.

PD20 or PD20+? Uses 2 different emitters. Too bad about your yellowish/greenish beam, I hope mine doesn't have the same fate, I guess when you look at my track record with luck the forecast isn't good.

A reverse clicky activates the light on only after you've completely pressed the button (clicky) and released it...i.e. there's no momentary on from the "off" position.

While a forward clicky allows you to activate the light momentarily if you half-press and hold the button (clicky) down, but will turn off once you release the button. While a full-press and release of a forward clicky will give you constant-on.

I hope that makes sense.
