Hello guys, M22 arrived few days ago, here is my impressions, pictures. I hope you like it!

Features

Output/Runtime: 20lm (30h), 250lm (3h), 950lm (1h)
Peak Beam Intensity: 23.256cd

1. Utilizing the newest Cree XM-L2 LED to enhance the lumen output.
2. High efficiency driver circuit allows maximum 950lm output & 305 meter beam projection.
3. Three adjustable brightness levels (low-medium-high).
4. Thick stainless steel bezel protects the lens, and makes a great defensive tool.
5. Anti-scratch type III hard anodizing aluminum body.
6. Large surface of heat sink on its head, allowing for efficient heat dissipation.
7. High efficiency smooth reflector ;99% luminousness ultra-clear lens with anti-reflective coating.
8.Multi-function tail forward switch. Under off status, lightly press the tail switch will perform momentary light, while twice continual quick clicks will activate high brightness and triple clicks will activate strobe, further hard press will acquiesce in outputs. Under on status, hard press will power off the light.
9.It allows you to go from low/med straight to Turbo or Strobe one-handed with a reverse grip (thumb on tail switch)

M22, Selfbuilt review


My impressions

Pros

+ Excellent build quality
+ Nice matte black anodizing, much better than older models (eg. M20SX)
+ Perfectly centered led
+ Clean, dust free reflector, lens
+ Nice beam quality (no rings etc), the tint is perfect for me, not too cool blueish, purplish (Nitecore P25) and not greenish
+ SS bezel
+ Smooth threads, o-rings are excellent condition
+ NO visible PWM or other irritating flickering, all modes are perfect!
+ Excellent driver, no buzzing/humming sound
+ Battery is not rattle (including unprotected cells)
+ Good quality and practical holster
+ White diffuser
+ Extra GITD rubber switch cover
+ The UI is completly different than older M20, but I really like it!

Overall the M22 is much better than old M20/M21 models :thumbsup: (and now comes with 5 years warranty)

Cons
not tail-stand capable

and now, here is the pictures, more photos, beamshots pics coming soon!!

No, it's an olight ring pilfered from my m30. It covers the exposed o-ring and is nice and solid. Battery Junction has them in stock for the m20 models but they are same ones used on the other "m" series lights.

Nice. Do like the "tacital"ring for some extra grip.
