Hi biggie, I fully agree with everything you reviewed about this light. I ordered mine right after you ordered yours. Mine came yesterday. Everything you reported about the light even down to when you unscrew the front part, the spacer around the led came off, same here. It went back on.
Also, I fully agree that the minor faults with this light is overshadowed by the fact, it only cost us $25.10 shipped.
I only have two protected Keygos 26650 batteries, and they fit perfectly in there. I will say it is tight in that tube, for the simple reason the spacers that came with my other 26650 lights will not fit in this light. It came with it OWN spacer to put a 18650 in. IMO, that is a good part. Don't want anything slipping around.
Going up against the M10 is a tough ticket. But, they are only $2 apart in price so they cool.
To cut the rambling, after one day, on only about 5 or 6 click ons, I am so far real happy with this light. It is indeed a handsome light.
It looks like the addiction had take ahold of me big time!! (big wide grin)..

Edit.. To let you know how close it is in the battery tube, I had put tape on both my Keygos 26650 batteries to make them no slip for my my BeamTech 4000 light. To put a Keygos 26650 battery in this light, I had to take off all the tape! When the tape was off the battery, the protected Keygos fit in this light, like it was custom made.. :)
That light is identical to the Shadow JM05 right down to the tail cap and brass rings on the ends of the battery tubes. Biggie, how long did it take you to get it from DX?
I ordered mine a day after the OP order his. When I saw his "just ordered" I did the same. I ordered mine on 3/26/12, it arrived on 4/2/12. About 2 weeks ago DX sent email told me it was backordered and offered a refund. I declined and told them I would wait..
Interesting. I just spoke with them and they said it was OOS. Site says it ships in 7-10 days. Maybe it’s always OOS and it’s just drop shipped from their supplier. I really want one. What do you think I should do?
The M10, Ke-5 and JM05 Clone. However, right before I took the beam shots, I moved the Ke-5 to the right and put the JM05 Clone in the middle and left the M10 on the left.
Here is the JM05 clone in the middle with the Keygos Ke-5 on the right and the Keygos M10 on the left..
My initial reaction: wow! what a nice looking light.
Agree with other comments that it feels a little rough and jagged around the edges, but still good enough especially at this price.
I would add though that it more than makes up for it in good looks, in fact it’s probably the nicest looking like I have and it looks better than my JM07 Pro.
I really like the beam profile. Driven at 2.8A the spill is almost as wide but brighter than my JM07. The hotspot is very tight, much tighter and brighter than my XML Ultrafire C8, indicating good throw. And it has a very large bright yellow corona, which makes it a good flooder as well as a good thrower, and a very good bike light. Here are some more pics, it’s too handsome not to post any:
Looks awesome on the MTB. Trustfire A8 (right)
Amongst my ametuer collection. Mine doesn’t have WOLF or whatever it is written on the tailcap.
I’ve liberally just ordered another light off this seller, so far I’m very impressed, they emailed me personally to confirm it has shipped and emailed me initially to warn me they had been advised the Olympics may affect deliveries into London (i live 500 miles away but its the thought that counts). On this alone I’m feeling good about the order, if it comes in a reasonable time I’d have no problems pointing other people too them.
I also like that the lights I have looked at seem to have at least plausible lumen ratings.
The M10 is a winner because of price. The JM05 Clone is good too for the simple fact it is a little shorter and I use all my lights on my bicycles. I had to send of these back, because the washer kept falling off, and the light wouldn’t come on or change modes. The M10 at $19 to $22 is a tough one to beat… I got 3 of the M10s, and two of the JM05 clones.
