Mjölnir, thy competition has a name: KLARUS XT20 (2 x XM-L U2 | 2 x 18650's)

Hey Tim,

welcome to BLF! It's good to have you here. :)

Well, we really don't have mods here. :) I'm obviously just some guy, but I think you did an awesome job. In fact, your review put the XT20 on my short list when I first read it over at the other place (courtesy of Google; I don't usually go there so I would have missed it if it wasn't for Google). I ended up getting the V60C instead at that point in time because it was such a great deal but the XT20 is still very much in the "DO WANT" category.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and welcome.

Thanks very much for the review TurboBB, and welcome to BLF! Frontpage'd and Sticky'd.

quality review! And an very nice torch, the only problem is the price in the UK.

Thanks, Marc.

Nice review, thank you.

That styling of that torch kind of leaves me cold, different strokes I guess. I guess you know you are really a flashaholic when the looks of a flashlight are even a topic to be discussed.

Welcome to BLF turboBB and thank you for a great review! (waiting impatiently for outdoors beamshots)

It might be BudgetLightForum but we sure enjoy - and some times purchase - more expensive flashlights!

great review and nice pictures.turboBB. notice both reflectors are smooth.i think the earlier version, the reflector is op on one and smooth on the other.

Welcome to BLF and great review.

+1

Welcome

Your style is eerily similar to a review by our own beloved Flashlight Foy , amusing , detailed , well written , and with fantastic photography .

Thank you very much and welcome to the forum .

Excellent review. I don't like the whole flashlight much. But! The head would make a very good looking byclicle lamp for sure. It is however well made judging by the pics.

Great review.

I feel manufacturers of high power flashlights are missing out by staying with the 18650 batteries (especially in two cell format), if they were to take the plunge and use 26650 batteries the light would be more comfortable to handle it would look more balanced and have the advantage of longer runtime.

No points for guessing my favorite cells for larger lights.

Thx for the comments and warm welcome guys! Please feel free to throw me some constructive criticisms on how I can improve these reviews. Was there any info missing, are there particulars you'd like to see discussed?

Likewise, if there are any specific feedback about the light (future revisions, specific features) that you have, I'd be happy to pass it back to the mfg (or point them to this link).

@Oxy Moron, albeit a bit old, I'll be porting over the V60C review soon.

@trooplewis - I think styling definitely matters (although subjectively), thus I always dedicate a section to design/features. It's interesting to analyze the thought that was put into the design of each light (or not).

@Aleister - ah yes, the outdoor shots are now up there. I had posted this a while back but never updated it. I will also be porting over the outdoors XM-L throw thread as well as my Epic Indoor Shots comparo thread.

@MILO - yeah, I think it's best to check w/the dealers if there are specific configuratons one might like. I had requested the OP reflectors from Klarus as I wanted to review them as well but never heard back. Maybe I'll try again.

@jacktheclipper - I must confess I haven't spent much time here but definitely aim to do so going forward. Will definitely look up Flashlight Foy's reviews, thanks for letting me know!

@Budgeteer - a gent on the other forum actually did just that and has been very satisfied with it as a bike light. The ability to add a pressure sensitive switch might make it even more fitting for that use.

@Burro - whoa boy, you're in luck, my next review will be of a 26650+ form factor light ;o)

@gorann - thx! Photography (especially macros) is another hobby of mine. Please feel free to peruse my galleries here.

HOLY MOTHER OF FLASHLIGHTS!!

I NEED THIS ONE... my Fenix TK-45 wants a new friend!

You can easily see that! Great review with just beautiful pictures. Thanks for that.

I can't wait for DD to finally ship my XT20. If they ever do so.

Great review. The mjolnir pic is awesome lol.

Awesome review and beautiful pics!

Thank you for the very detailed review with the superb quality pictures!
Have been watching the light a few times at DD.

Very nice having you around here at BLF... !

Looks like a hammer indeed.

Inspirational review! Great job!

I think it looks awesome. Too expensive for Foy, unfortunately.
