Jetbeam jet-1 MK reveiw

Okay its done i may have to fix up some spelling mistakes and string together sentences better.

Looks like a winner. Was considering the Fenix 2016 E15 and realised 14500 wins hands down over 16340 and this looks perfect. Thanks for the review!

Perhaps the rated 1.5 lumen low is for Alk/NiMH?

Good review of this new flashlight, I’m expecting one, so that this review is very timely :+1: .
Thank you.

Excellent review, I can spend alot of money on all these new (AA/14500) lights that are being released

Thanks guys yea its a great light just missing the magnetic tail cap and it would be a perfect EDC.

I think the lower modes output is lower with the NiMH and alkaline then the 14500 weird how Jetbeam didn’t state that!

I added a video it has heaps of beam shots…

Nice review!

It’s a great light and the low mode is really useful.

Packaging states both no mode memory and + mode memory. In reality, the light does remember the last mode.

Hey mate it definitely has a memory mode that is a must for a twist style flashlight.

Only thing I don’t get is why jetbeam decided to change the output modes on medium and low with the different battery types and they don’t state the outputs with the different battery types.

Packaging indicates no memory mode, always starts at lowest level. I specifically wanted that function. I can live with the memory mode.

Still, a great light.

Mine won’t work on a keepower 14500 protected. An Effast unprotected is all good. I like the lite. Way better beam than my M10 maverick which has blue balls.

I need to invest in a couple of good 14500 cells for mine. Thanks for the review.

I decided I like it with an eneloop. It’s bright enough.

Yea its still super bright its almost the same as medium mode with the 14500. I think run time should be good with a 2400Mah NiMH

I just dropped mine 15 ft off a balcony suffered major carnage. Lense spiderwebed, bezel dinged. But guess what? Never shut off. I’m a Jetbeam believer. I’d post pics but…, idk? im so upset. Can I get replacement parts? Is so nice lil light!

I cannot say about other JetBeams except the HC20 headlamp but this little Mk is nice. Waiting for my Micro but think I am going to order another couple of these because once me nephews see them they will take mine

Yea in the video I dropped the head in the floor I left that part in the video for that reason my edc cops a beating. I don’t think you will be able to find parts for a light this small if I can get mine apart I’ll measure it.

I bought the AAA version also its good so small and bright it uses optics instead of a reflector.

Very nice information, i had this very small pocket friendly 400-500 lumen guy with 130 m. throw. But, today i also have BLF X5 and X6. Very very surprisingly its difficult to explain how x5 influenced me. Ok, have an additional head when compare to jet-1 mk (8 cm - 10.5 cm) but its still pocket friendy for me. Once upon a time i was looking for a good thrower and found c8 with xml-2. But, believe me this x5 with xp-l HI is better than what i had before. And i will not tell about x6 because when you talk about small size with best function :laughing: i think x5 is best. Finaly the blue back is total fantasy :slight_smile:

Thanks for the review i like these little gems so much i have 8 of them sofar. One for each car in the glove box, one for missus one for me and the kids got 1 each as well and acouple still in the packing for the nuts i forgot someone birthday gift. Next time gearbest has them on offer i’ll get afew more for the gobags. Great value light bombproof simple and reliable.

I bought this light to mourn the lose of my romisen rc-a4. This light is way better and much less bulky! Not missing the rominsen at all!

I am also thinking about getting a XPL HI in my Jetbeam
