It does look a little short on the pictures... but if the technical specifications are right it measures 102X23 mm , which is a little thicker than most 1xAAs. Daniel send me technical specs via skype... they also say 1AA...hmmm... but they also say >Replaceable and rechargeable lithium polymer battery<... pics 1,3,4 look like for a 1x123 battery and pic 2 like 1xAA... totally confused... maybe they just used rendering pics and we will see a whole flashlight family with different models and they just used them for advertising.. dunno.
Update: The pic 2 clearly shows a different light... look where the knurling begins.
I meant fran82 with his shout-out , with the sarcasm - "AH YES!!!! Less than 20 dollars!" because Daniel mentioned that it could be cheaper than 20 bucks... but he didn't promise.
It's so crowded here nowadays - I really should start use your "@"-methode. Look at the body of pic2 ... doesn't it seem to be longer and sleeker?... also the knurling doesn't connect with the next part of the flashlight-body. But you have to look hard... it is better visible HERE (1+2 =123 ; 3=AA).
I dont think it has any sort of LENS , I think its just an optical illusion from the reflector behind the lens [ regular ] ..
Yeah , that body does look a bit like a CR123A host . Though Pic 2 does look more AA , hmmm , could it be , AA / 14500 ?

Haha, I thought you were talkin' about Don's post Yes, you should use "@" marks or something lol
Regarding the light... sorry, vectrex, can't see any differences Yep, it seems to be longer and sleeker, but can't see those knurling differences you talkin' about.
Aaaahhh! Got it. But I think that those joint lines isn't visible because of the image size. It's smaller, and I think JPEG compression just "ate" them
You can't see them ... I can. lol. But you are right speculation about pre-rendered pics leads us nowhere ... except more speculation. Willing to take bets? Who is the hero to count the knurling diamonds in longitudinal direction... I think I should go to bed..
I just chatted with Daniel, and he has a silver colored 4-mode version in his hand that he is about to photograph and shoot videos. But I think we'll have to be patient because it sounds like Mrlite is swamped and there will be some initial stock shortages.
Hello everyone! I am obviously new here. I just wanted to say that the forum is great and everyone seems friendly. After reading this thread I decided to order this light. An impulse purchase no doubt. It just looks really well built to me. I will let everyone know what I find out. It seems like good value for what you get though. Seems very similar to the KC-05 except that it's a 1xaa instead of a 1xaaa. Hopefully this light will accept a 14500.
My wife keeps asking me what the heck am I going to do with all these flashlights? Lol. They just seem cool to me.
We have received the new J4 sliver one from Mrlite company , and will ship one to Old4570 do a detail review tomorrow,and i also took some photo by myself !
Just get the notcie from The mrlite company ,the black one was temporarily out of stock,so if you ordered this light , it might need about a week when we shipped the order. the sliver in stock now .
If you want a customized mode , you must sent me an email( Daniel@lightake.com) contain which mode you want ,and your order number ,and i usually will reply you within one day.if you didn't sent me an email we won't sent the customized mode to you .
The MX4 and J4 are the same style , only use different battery.so you no need warry about the J4 can't work with AA battery .
OK, this light is looking really, really good. I just talked to Richard @ Mrlite, who is actually the designer of the J4. (Pretty cool eh?) He showed me the light over his webcam...
They got the modes worked out to our liking, including the 1 or 2 lumen moonlight mode. He says they measured the draw on the lowest mode and it's only 4ma, which he says should give at least 150 hours of runtime!!! In fact, according to my calculations, a 2000mah Eneloop should run for (2000 ÷ 4 = 500) hours, or more than 20 days! I forgot to ask him if the light is PWM controlled or not. The good news for all of us is that the driver accepts AA, unprotected 14500, or protected 14500 batteries. This is news to me; I thought we would have to choose between AA or 14500. The lens acronym that I couldn't remember was simply AR. The beamshots look good:
