the Eagletac and the Jetbeam both look green, on my iPhone too
maybe Apple products have better Green color rendering
do you not see that the ET looks Green too? Do you not see that the poppy pods look green too? hmmmm
Green is green, if you cant tell, well, I will remember to keep that in mind when you tell me something looks creamy white to you… though it sounds like your glasses work fine… and you Do actually see the green…
For one thing fella…you need to lose your attitude…I did say it looked greenish to me with my glasses on. Apparently I need them to see correctly or I wouldn’t have them…right? Think about that! When I said that we all should know that we see tints differently…I was referring to flashlight fanatics liking different tints…I was in no way implying that it’s not green…I was merely stating how it looked with my glasses on and off. This thread is a flashlight review and I could tell people were taking pop shots at each other so I just stated what I saw to change the mood. However, you seem to be the aggressor here since you want to try to cause an issue over a comment that had absolutely nothing to do with you.
So, i received my light today
To my eyes, there is no green tint(or very small. I can’t recognize it)
The light is quite long
Quite disappointed in the switch, not as comfortable as utorch ut01
My copy suffered the same issue. It sounded like someone winding a "cassette tape". If you are buying for the sake of Ni-MH, my advise is to pick another model. Light is perfectly fine for 14500 usage.
now i am buying light for collecting :D. i EDC 4 lights :person_facepalming: , and i dont think i should carry more everyday
i already have some lights that use both 14500 and ni-mh, i bought this light because it’s the only that can charge ni-mh and li-ion
The camera used and it’s settings have as much, if not more, to do with the “apparent” transmitted tint than the monitor that renders the image to us.
That being said I own this flashlight and according to my 56.04 Human retina, it has a small amount of green tint but no where near Zebralight Puke Green.
My beefs with this Jetbeam are too wide of mode space between mid and high with the 14500, too small of a button and the whacky UI
On my copy, it does not want to turn on after inserting the 14500 until double tapped into strobe and then back out.
If you hold down the power switch for like 5 seconds it will go into a beacon as long as you continue to press. Then when released it is locked up mainly.
Only saw one review on this light and they did not cover this beacon deal.
If anyone can point us to the actual factory directions of the UI that would be great. All that is on most vendors sites are the cut and paste specs from Jetbeam.
Is it a decent flashlight, maybe.
But would I buy it again? No.
The new Thorfire TS06 smokes this thing in output, but they are different lights, horses for courses and all that.
Later,

After nearly 12 hours play with it
There are something need to be done
A bigger and softer button(like the one in utorch ut01)
Better ni-mh charging(the advantage of this light, compare with other 14500 light)
Better clip(i feel uncomfortable when holding it
More solid host
There is a gap between head and body, and this gap is not for the clip
(I reverse the clip into this gap, and the light didnt work)
I only have the E01R AAA version, But i prefer the metal buttons, I have lot a few good lights when the rubber on the button failed and i could not get a replacement.
It`s the UI interface i don't like (10 min mode memory), I prefer the one on the UltraTac K18 low,mid,high (permanent last level memory), press to turn on, click to go next level, double click for strobe, long click to turn off, hold power button down for 2 seconds to lock or unlock.
No green in the E01R AAA version Emitter, it`s actually quite warm and i like it.
