First Impressions
I must say the original promotional shots of this torch on ebay were not that inspiring. It didn't really look that good. I only bid on it because it was going cheap. It could always be used for spares at the least.
It arrived and looked a million times better than in the photographs. Sleek and well made my initial misgivings were quickly dissolved.
The aluminium body is high quality and has a nice feel and weight to it. The Zoom head is well constructed and has a good firm action.
The tail cap is of the highest order with what looks to be a Copper contact plunger rather than a crappy spring.
The S20 is very similar to the ever popular Ultrafire E-17.
Almost identical but subtly different is how best to describe this torch.
First of all the convex Lens is more magnified than the e-17 interesting to see how this affects the performance when I test it later.
The XM-L chip and surrounding disc looks high quality with no dodgy solder joints or grease marks etc. The business end is very nicely put together.
Waterproofing is managed by good rubber o-rings at all the main screw points. The screw threads are well machined and easy to operate. I'm really impressed with this torch so far. Is it too good to be true?.
High quality T6 on board
Quality fittings and fixtures!
Good grief! The size of the flood circle on this is obscene! Not only does it completely fill the area in front of you but illuminates it with such a powerful intensity. The brightness is higher than my favourite Ultrafire E-17 which I was really surprised to see.
I don't think I have ever owned a torch that completely filled my garden with light, it's insane.
I'm putting this extra wide flood feature down to the fact that the magnification of the convex lens seems more magnified than normal. I wish they all came like this!
Flicking through the 5 settings is simple and precise. High, medium, low, strobe and S.O.S are there for the choosing.
Waterproofing is not an issue with this torch despite having a moving lens head. The rubber rings did their job properly. Dunking in a jug of water for half an hour was no problem.
Full Flood is absolutely awesome
The focused spot is very bright
Waterproof
Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅ 5 out of 5+ "Best and Brightest T6" award
Out of the many XM-L T6 powered torches I own this SkyWolfEye S20 is by far the brightest and has the best flood beam. It's simply awesome!
It's so good that I have created an award on the strength of its performance. Truly staggering for under £2
I will be reordering these.....
