Yes, but if you read CPF, they have measured the low mode at 55 lumens the first minutes until the batteries drop and full regulation starts. When regulation starts it has 30 lumens constantly.
Yes, more modes will be better, but "as is" is very good
It is a very nice light at a great price. I have the Klarus P2A and the Jetbeam BA20. These lights are very similar. You can switch the tail caps and they work just fine. Just a very little difference in the body shape. They cost the same. I know the Jetbeam says it has 270 lumens and the Klarus is rated at 245 but I'm not sure how accurate these ratings are. To my eye the Klarus is slightly brighter and throws just slightly farther than the Jtebeam. I like the feel of the clicky of the Klarus just slightly better than the Jetbeam.
Both of these lights are so similar that it's almost not fair to choose one over the other. Great lights for the money.
BTW: I like both of these lights better than my Quark AA2 Tactical that cost me 1/3 more.
I think they are made in the same factory, they share electronics, switch, etc...
The main differences are:
- Klarus declares 245 vs the jetbeam declares 270 (in real life, people say they give the same output)
- Klarus has cool tint and jetbeam has some neutral-cool tint
- Klarus throws a bit more than the jetbeam (however both have exactly the same reflector. Difference should be due to the tint)
- Machining of the outside of the body. Different clearly.
They are almost the same, but I have had BOTH on my hands and I prefer the JetBeam because it is nicer and the CLIP is reversible. The klarus NOT.
I have tested both and as many people say, the klarus has a cooler tint while the jetbeam has a more neutral tint. Both seems to throw to the same distance and they seem to produce the same lumens output, but without measuring equipment... difficult to say
Buen bicho! Y más barato que la JetBeam. Yo me sigo quedando con la JB, sin embargo si necesitara una con las mismas caracteristicas, me iba a la klarus de calle, por ser más barata y rendir mas o menos igual
I have the Jetbeam BC20 and it runs on 2 CR123 batteries and it supposedly puts out 305 lumens on high and 20 lumens on low. It is said to throw out to 136 meters, and have a max runtime of 36hrs. I really like it. I paid $35 shipped for it.
Ahahaha you used the coupon and dinopoints yeah!!!! looks like that DinoDirect is going to sell many flashlights with this "policy". Very good DinoDirect! let´s see if DealExtreme learns to this.
i guess i am driving boardies crazy with my bragging about the achieved DD deals… Anyway, i used 400 dinopoints, 5$ off coupon, and DD giftcard. The remaining amount payable thru paypal.
well, let's be patient. my order is "Paid Order" but not yet "Order Accepted" or shipped.
