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 . 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?
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.
My JM07 came yesterday. Supposed to be very windy (+25mph) today so I'll be field testing the light on the Fox River Trail tonight. We're planning on heading down to your neck of the woods, probably turn around at the Montgomery trail head.
I can't wait to hear how it goes! You'll still be north of my stomping grounds. The part of the trail I run is south of there and unfortunately not directly connected to the northern part. I need to venture north one of these days.
I purchased one as well as the stone white edition, but underneath the gun metal version on the web site it says "
" The Gun Metal Grey JM07-PRO has been found to have some oxidation issues on the latest batch, becasue of that we choose not to sell it. But we have the new version in Black which is free of those problems."
Due to your glowing reviews of this brand ,I ordered one [a JM 07]my brightest light currently is a Fenix pd 30 and I wanted a decent lumin upgrade and a light of good quality.
The biggest struggle was which model of this brand!...kelly
By the way, Foy, to echo what kelly1 said, it's your fault I have you to thank for my purchase of several great lights: Solarforce M6 & M8, JM07 and of course a few SF L2 models. I am very happy with all of them. Thanks for all your great reviews.
