OLight T20 Q5 Tactical Flashlight Review

Post by Keith B »

I just ordered one of these lights after trying out one my buddy had purchased. This light is amazing for the price (just under $60.) The 5 levels of illumination are perfect and go from fairly dim (7 lumen's) to extremely bright (220 lumen's) with just a twist of the head. The strobe function is very fast and will definitely disorient an aggressor (but maybe you also! :shock: ). SOS mode is pretty worthless, but hey, who knows Morse code these days?? ;-)

The flashlight has a memory so it returns you to the last setting without having to cycle through the modes, and the tail cap is easy to click. The size is very similar to a AA Mag-Light.

The beam pattern is extremely well defined with no halo like some of the cheaper lights. This is apparently due to a specially designed reflector. Color also is not too blue and is more natural.

Here is a review on the T20 Q5 model http://www.light-reviews.com/olight_t20/review.html, and you can compare models here http://www.light-reviews.com/compare.html

The Olight website is here http://www.olightworld.com/proi/cn/prod ... ductid=431

Bought it from here http://www.batteryjunction.com/speciale ... t-t20.html , and added the charger and 4 Li-Ion batteries http://www.batteryjunction.com/4parc390reli.html. With shipping, just under $100.

Can't wait to replace my older P6 clone with this one.

Thanks for the review and the flashlight sites... I have been looking for a new one since my last one decided to close down.
