I received the Olight S20R from Banggood for the purpose of review.

I've gotten to where I would rather do a video of it, than photos, but here are a couple photos of the light.

Here is the link to Banggood. http://www.banggood.com/Olight-S20R-Baton-CREE-XM-L2-4Modes-Rechargeable-EDC-LED-Flashlight-p-948418.html

I'm having issues with both IE 11 and Opera, so links don't do what they should. Neither browser works right any more with the forum posting.

It is a very nice light, but BG needs to do a "special price" on it. It is not worth the asking price of $69.95

Sorry, I have to call it as I see it. Nice light, and even better at $49.95 or at least lower than the standard price, but the price is high because it has it's own specialized USB charger and comes with an Olight battery too. I know they put a lot into it, but I just cannot justify the cost, for what you get. Enthusiasts like us would drop the charger and battery and charge in our own chargers. I hope they can come down on the price for BLF members.

I get nothing out of this review, except that I get to give the light away to one of you members. Just FYI. Links are non-affiliated.

Thanks OL. Its a real nice looking light. It looks like a keeper as you can charge your mobile phone from it.

Nice review. :slight_smile:
However the charging cable is completely backwards as compared to pretty much all other USB charging devices, as all computers have the full size USB-A (female) port, and not the micro port. ( phones, MP3 players, cameras, other lights, etc. have the Mini or a Micro plug on the device, and the full-sized USB-A (male) plug on the other end to plug into computers, wall adapters, car chargers, etc. it looks like a major screw-up on Olight’s part.

“Edit” - - I just found when i looked it up, the base as two ports. ( one small Micro port for the charging cable, and the large port is an extension for other accessories to plug into.

I was wrong. Its not a keeper. Again thanks for the vid.

I hope they don’t discontinue the classic S20, which I find much nicer.

I guess it’s so hidden that I never saw it. Man, I’m getting bad.

Looks like a nice light for a starter or non flashoholic.Good light and charger in 1.
Nice review!

Thank you O-L. Really like the clean look and styling of that light.

Great review sir!! I was going to point out that it did have the other port, but DBSAR beat me to it.

I quite like this series of light especially for how compact they are (the S20 in particular), but as you said the price is a little steep. And if you already have other 18650 lights you probably have cells and means for charging them, so the battery+charger+light may get a little redundant.

Thanks for the review, really appreciate it!

I like your calm voice :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello,

is it safe if I replace the stock batteries to Efest un-protected 25A cells to s20r?
