Stainless steel bezels aren’t only stronger, they also looks much better.Īlthough the switch behaves like a regular forward clicky switch at first sight, it’s a little more unique than that. It’s also very thing so it’s really hard to get any grip. It’s probably glued because I couldn’t remove it. And since this is very common, I can’t really count that as a major con…Īt the front end is a flat, glass lens, which is protected by a thin flat stainless steel bezel. The corona, however, has an ugly blue hue, just like many other shine-through LEP flashlights. The center of the beam is actually pretty bright white, unlike most other LEP flashlights. The beam profile is also like a typical LEP flashlight, and not like an LED flashlight. So we tested the output later on in the review, and yes, it did reach 900 lumens. And that’s definitely interesting to note, because all the other LEP flashlights we reviewed were specced at maximum 650 lumens (Maxtoch) while 90% didn’t even reach 500 lumens.
One of the things that caused doubts, was the high output numbers NEXTORCH claimed. And yes, this looks like the typical shine-through LEP module. And since I can’t open the flashlight up without using force or heat, I can only peak through the front lens to see what’s inside. This means that the lightsource is a laser, and not an LED. The NEXTORCH T20L is not an LED flashlight, but an LEP. But the quality problems does not include lamp burning out, batteries draining, switches wearing out and damages resulting from abnormal use, abuse, neglect, battery damage, use of other than NEXTORCH® brand batteries or accessories, unauthorized modifications or repairs from their original state.

NEXTORCH® warrants our products to be free from any defects in workmanship and/or materials. If anything fails or causes issues, this is what NEXTORCH has to say about warranty: Unfortunately, mine doesn’t stay inside the charging port so that’s not protecting it as it is supposed to. The tailcap also has a charge port, which should be covered by a piece of rubber that is attached to the rubber switch boot. The treads are bare aluminum and there’s a single o-ring protecting the flashlight from water entering in. That’s a difference.Īnodization is done well on all parts of the flashlight. I even found NEXTORCH flashlights at one of the local hardware stores in the Netherlands, so they sure are a big company, with a large user base. The reason is probably that their lights typically don’t reach the end of a spectrum: read: highest lumens, best throw, best pocket rocket etc. Their build quality is really top-notch, and they perform pretty well. You don’t hear many flashlight enthusiasts talk about NEXTORCH on social media, and that’s a shame. The pocket clip is detachable without any tools. And if you are afraid of dropping the light (which isn’t very likely to happen) you can always use a lanyard or a the pocket clip. And the cut-out is small enough to make the light still tail stand.Īlthough the body and tailcap are missing knurling or reeding, the matte finish helps to keep a grip. There’s only 1 switch, located at the tailcap which is shrouded except for 1 place, where you can easily rest your thumb on the switch.
So keep that in mind when you use the T20L. my brains couldn’t comprehend that for a while.
It’s behaving like a reverse clicky switch while activated, and a forward clicky switch when turned off. dumb… Because the switch has the ability to change modes while activated. I then realized this is not your typical forward clicky switch.

You then have to tap the switch (not click) to change modes, and full click when you reached the desired output.Īfter my attempt to measure amps, I couldn’t change modes anymore like you normally do with a forward clicky switch. The traditional forward clicky switch can’t change modes unless you de-activate the switch again (full click). If you’re into flashlights for a long time, you know the difference between a forward clicky switch and reverse clicky switch.
