New flashlight brand Klarus looks awesome so far.

It looks like a good brand. It's a UK manufacturer. I'm planning on getting the ST20 torch looks awesome. The only problem I have with Klarus is that some of their lights are ANSI lumen rating some are not. Share your comments on Klarus here

Sales Link Removed Rule #6 - Norm

The XT20 with two XML has me excited and I like that it's one button for on/off and another for modes.
There's more info in the CPF marketplace

Klarus is made in China, but they do make some nice lights.

Maybe a stupid question, but; why are there so many flashlight manufacturers that are located in Shenzhen,China?

hehe... a quality UK manufacturered torch would probably cost more than.... any other brand??

Shenzhen, in the region of Guangdong aka Canton. Is where many of the factories and manufacturers of China are.

from what i understand there not that new......i have an nt20 i bought about a month ago and love it for what i use it for. my buddy has the xt10 and loves it as well.

I have a couple, NT10 and XT10 and really like them, no problems whatsoever and well thought out imo.

Close proximity to Hong Kong and other major ports, a major advantage for businesses that export majority of their products.

I am totally happy with my current Klarus lights and I am looking forward to more EDC types:

I carry an XT10 with me every day and absolutely love it. I have beaten the crap out of the thing and it still works perfectly. I also really like the switch on it.

The XT20 looks promising..

You can see quite a bit of Klarus in shoudian.com, a China flashlight forum.

A lot of companies / manufacturers are located there. Electronics, clothings/apparels etc. They use Guanzhou as a lot of air and sea freight goes from there. They can use Guangzhou or HK SAR as the bases, depends on how the company likes to operate and how they freight out.

Another place is YiWu, in Zhejiang province. Closest place i can give you for a frame of reference would be Suzhou or perhaps you'd be more aware of Shanghai. They do a lot of small stuff there, like plastic bags, nail clippers, scissors, chopsticks etc. Mainly sea freight. Eg, 80% of the world's nail clippers are from there, no joke.

For fireworks it would be Liuyang. Most of the fireworks you see are from there.

+1 & nice Klarus collection Kilovolt! Plea to Klarus: make more lights like the two on the right (head twist without a tailswitch), but either lose the keyring altogether or at least incorporate it in such a way to allow for tailstanding.

I'm interested in the XT20 too. I would have preferred 2 x 18650 side by side though (like the TK35) as this would make the perfect pocket sized light canon without the "happy-to-see-you" look.

The look is actually a bit ghastly.

XT20 looks ugly for me, haha

I wonder why some companies build mult lens lights rather than combining multi LEDs in to one Lens/reflector? Fenix does both with their TK 45 and the Tk 70.
