Freeme Review: JETBeam JET-1 MK 480lm XP-G2 14500/ AA - incomplete, pic only

Nice pictures!

I also have the light on order and after seeing the tint in your pictures I definitly want to change the led and if possible the mcpcb to a copper one (just to have it in there :wink: )

Can you do a runtime graph? Someting like that would be great http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y309/Budda_CPF/Manker%20E11/E11%20XX_zpsutk7ytpn.png

Glad you like it. I will get the runtime chart up soon!

Great!

Nice review!
I like its overall design, but IMO the head’s design is quite plain.

really great pictures!

thanks for the review

I wonder if that tapped screw hole that you mentioned can attach a jetbeam defense/window breaking cone. Thanks for the pics!

Update:

That is bad, how is pwm with a nimh?

No visible PWM with AA.

Thanks a lot for all the effort! I think that I´ll skip this one. Also it is a twisty… I don´t like AA twisties. :wink:

Still trying to unscrew the bezel …

Got mine yesterday. I got like 500 lumen with my ceiling bounce with 14500. Pretty short runtime. Like 20 min and gets super hot.

Biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t pocket well. Pocket clip doesn’t hold in jeans tightly and the anno is very slick. Its been sliding around in my pocket all morning.

I purchased three Jet mu, and two Jet-1-MK. One mu has a more neutral tint as well as one of the Jet-1-mk’s. I like all of them. Great price and very useful small lights. If I need a blinding wall of light I use my XinTD-SC 82-V5. If I need a very long run time my Thorfire VG10 fits the bill. Each flashlight is tailored to fit a niche. :slight_smile:

Nice review, thanks
I’m liking my Jet-I MK
I agree with Bc412 the clip is not much chop
I run mine on NIMH

Has anyone broken one of these lights down yet? I ordered one today, hopefully it’s not completely glued. I’d like to throw a fet in it.

My jet-1 MK is glued between the pill amd the body .
But i think freeme said (not sure) , it has a removable bezel.

Just received mine and I was shocked at the size of the xp-g2 (my first of this led). I was expecting an xp-g die size and quite the throw monster but have to say the beam resembles an xml2 in a larger reflectored light. Of course, it was my bad having the wrong expectations on this light, which is quite a steal for the money, truth be told.

So — moddable?
On sale: Gearbest flash sale: Jetbeam JET-I MK (AA/14500) $11, JET-U (AAA) $8

Definitely moddable. Here’s one with a Nichia 219B:

It’s just that the bezel is glued in place on the head, so you need a strap wrench or some such to get it off.

I ordered one of these lights and now need recommendations for protected 14500 cells that will work with this flashlight. I read that some cells might fit too tight.
