It's been a while since I've been active on the forum, car accidents and a month stay in the hospital will do that to ya. Anyway, I find myself at the National Hardware Show in Vegas last week and ran into our friends the Klarus folks who had a booth at the show.
I found among their offerings at the show the Prototype of the G20, one of the rechargeable 26650 Li-ion lights they are releasing in 2016. It caught my attention immediately and started coming home with me without waiting for the official release ETA end of May 2016. Nina of Klarus was kind enough to agree (after my badgering) to allow me this prototype for a pass-around on CPF before the G20 officially hit the US market.
It's been a while since my last passaround, so forgive me if there are something missing from the write up.

1 x G20 (w/18650 adapter); 1 x 2A charging cord;

3. Post your interest here, in this thread, and then PM me with your detailed contact information.
4. Keep the light for 5 days and use it as you would. Do not modify or damage the light!
5. Before shipping the light to the next person in line, please make sure it is in good shape and clean.
6. PM the next person in line for their mailing address, once shipped, please include me in the PM with shipping details and tracking number, and ship it out with tracking. The last person will return the flashlight to me.
7. Take a photo of the light as it arrives and leaves so there is a record. You are responsible for the light until it arrives at the next member.
Last day to sign up is 5/29/2016
And last, but certainly not least, please take a moment to take some photos and make some comments, reviews and improvement suggestions here in this thread regarding your experiences, impressions and opinions of the light.
