if i wasnt so cash strapped now i'd be participating in the RRT0 GB now..sigh.
unless someone willing to buy 1 for me 1st then i pay back later
just received my ET P20A2 few days ago, thanks to bro's rookiedaddy & philightsophy.
here's a mini review
PROS
1) build quality is nice, similar to my earlier P100A2.
2) diffuser is a nice touch - pure floody beam makes a great alternative as a headlamp substitute on a certain brand of headband
3) removable crenelated bezel. can finally reach out & touch someone IF i wanted to
4) i love lanyards & the new style lanyard that came with it is a big improvement over earlier ones, i like.
CONS
1) can only attach either clip or lanyand, not both.
2) diffuser is made from polycarbonate; ie not durable enough for long-term usage.
3) major gripe - strobe mode; too easily accessible. should either eliminate this feature alltogether or set as hidden function.
4) low mode is not easily activated, neither is it necessary imho. should have maintained a KISS 2-mode option like earlier P100A2.
SUMMARY
ok la, but could have been better. mine has the diffuser permanently attached, to perform the short-range floody headlamp substitute function indoors, with the SS bezel close at hand JUST in case i wanna reach out & touch them.
Thanks for the review Ray.
It is a bit unorthodox, but you can attach the lanyard to the clip. The clip has an empty strip in the middle and it is possible to attach the lanyard to it.
The strobe is too easy to access, and after I switch off the flashlight, I will usually do a half tap first then turn on the flashlight again to avoid turning on the strobe.
Hmmm, I have no difficulties in activating the low mode. Can you elaborate more on this matter?
