I just received the Olight M20 Warrior Premium R2 Review courtesy of Battery Junction.

Uses a Cree XR-E R2 WH Bin. The tint on this light has a slight yellow tint to it's beam. Reminds me of tint that the limited run of Dereelight's R2 Bins had.

3 level light goes from low, medium, high then strobe by turning the bezel back and forth. The UI is very easy to use. Whatever light level is used last the M20 will turn on to that level.

Uses a forward clickie.

The M20 can be be locked out by turning the rear tail cap 180 degrees counter-clockwise,

Can use 2 CR123's, 2 RCR123's, 1 18650 and 1 17670. There is a included Battery Magazine that will hold 2 CR123's to keep the batteries from rattling.

Has a low battery level. Will blink every 20 seconds when battery is low.

The Type III Hard Anodize finish is excellent. I give the grade A.

The fit is good smooth threads. I had an o-ring by the front of the battery tube get cut and the other one is also smashed on one side. I give the grade B.

This M20 came with an OP relfector.


Pros

Uses a forward clickie.

Very easy to use UI.

Finish is top notch.

Comes with a very nice holster and lanyard.

Can accept many different battery sizes.


Cons

Beam is slightly off centered.

Cut o-ring.

I also took lux readings of the lights shown above. These are the lux readings I got. I am using a Meterman LM631 Light Meter measured at 1 meter. I waited 2 minutes before taking the readings. I am using AW's Protected Black 18650 for the JetBeam Jet-Pro III IBS Q5 and AW's Protected (Black) RCR123's for both the Olight 20 Premium R2 and the Fenix T1 Q5 which were fully charged.
