Review: Shadow JM07 Pro "Stone White" Limited Edition

These are the best I can do in the 7:00 pm available Las Vegas light . . .

I included my naked 980L because it is about as natural, polished aluminum as you can get. An older silver L2 on the other side and my Dry for size comparison. Not sure if the JM07 would polish up this good . . . and I don't think I want it to be that shiny, anyway.

Actually, Foy is burned out on silver. I came real close to accepting a trade offer from another member for his gun metal JM07. My instincts tell me to hang on to it however, and I fell in love again after the blue boot booty change.

Thanks, Foy! Great shots as usual! :D

Is that L2 ano silver or polished? I'm between the "white" and gun metal, not sure If i'll pull the trigger yet, but my paypal finger is twitching between the two....

I hope I'm not pushing it too far, but... do you have any other gun metal flashlights to compare? If you don't feel like going out again, any room shot would do, or even tomorrow... No hurry. I probably need to sleep on it anyway. ;)

Thanks again,

Viktor

P.S.

I'm thinking about creating a video how-to post a mouseover. ;)

The L2 is ano silver.

I've got a gun metal L2P and the V9 . . . I'll put them up later tonight - it's not a problem. Whatever I can do to assist vacuuming peoples' wallets.

I know if I just sit down and slowly do it, I can master the mouseover.

I just got some inside info from Hank.

It seems that some time after their order of "whites" was produced, their manufacturer decided to offer the white version on the Chinese market. It would seem we can expect more silver/white copies soon.

Hank mentioned that the manufacturer did not respect their agreement.

If he's mistaken, this might be false news, but I believe his intel.

Viktor

I believe it too . . . and, I expected as much. About as "limited" as a Buick Limited.

Ahhh well, gotta respect the market.

Well, if nothing else, there will only be 50 with the intl-outdoor web address engraved on the side.....

As for JM07 Pros with the dust silver finish ("stone white"), but obviously without Hank's web address, I have already seen these advertised on one other site.

Share a link?

I just wanted to provide a quick update after spending a few more days with this light.

Of the five lights I got from Int'l Outdoor, this JM07 Pro is turning out to be the thoroughbred of the bunch. Its ascending three mode UI, comfortable fat body and versatile all-purpose OP reflector, not to mention it is more than bright enough, makes me wish I had a less pretty one to knock around.

Not a single, functional hiccup and I like the new blue boot.

You are making resisting it very hard. I was doing just fine for the last few days!

How does it compare with your JM05?

That's a tough comparison. I like them both but I'm surprised at how the JM07 has become a go-to light. It's bright as heck and I need to measure run time because it seems to have double the run time of any P60 I have. I keep forgeting it has that big King Kong in there. Seriously awesome flashlight but better to get the black or gun metal.

I'm telling you; I think I've drank the 26650 Koolaid.

I hate that fugly invalid URL on the black and grey version.

Being an IT guy that works as a sysadmin for a hosting company I could never live with the fact that the link is dead.

I hope they will rebrand it to plain Shadow JM07 Pro, or at least to a working URL.

That's right, I forgot. It's on my VG-20 too.

Hey viktori, I have a beater green 2D Mag you can have for whatever it cost to ship to Croatia, if you want it.

Foy

I have a feeling that I saw it listed on cnqualitygoods, but they are only showing the black one now.

I did a run-time test with a King Kong 26650 charged to 4.22 volts.

Flashlight on high.

Looks like you get just about two full hours on high. After initial sag, it stayed pretty strong and even read a little higher for a while, although it didn't seem brighter to my eye.

Will update review.

Foy

Hi, Foy. I have the JM07 on the way from CNQG as a replacement for out of stock item. I asked for gun metal version, but the CS rep I was talking to seemed confused so I'm expecting black Smile. Anyhoo, I love the blue boot - is it this one from IOS?

Another question: CNQG lists this as current regulated - does that mean an unprotected 26650 battery is ok to use or is there some special care I need to take?

The driver inside is a Nanjg 105C without one 7135 chip, so 7*7135. It will flash when the voltage is about 3V under load and go to low mode.

I can confirm that I got just about the same runtime with a KK and I can also confirm that this is an awesome, incredibly useful light. Mine is sitting in pieces waiting for me to get the time/interest to make it a triple XML light.

Thanks, Hikelite - just what I wanted to know.

Super fantastic! 15 business days shipping to wait untill I get mine. Thank you for the excellent review.
