SNEAK PEEK AT DX JM05 CLONE

Thanks for the peek, Biggie! That is a seriously good looking light. Far sexier than the M10 IMO. 8)

Thanks biggie!

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..Wink

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?

Get one!! IMO, at this price, it is a Budgeteer's dream!! Wink

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..

I just mounted the JMO5 clone on my bicycle helmet... Oh boy..It has a super spill along with a good throw, all good for my bicycle..

After speaking with my local dealer (Vietnam) this light comes with a 2.2A stock driver.

He’s agreed to swap mine out for a 2.8A driver, so naturally I’ve just gone an pulled the trigger, again :Sp

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.

Juicy review!

Thank you for the review Biggie. And all the nice pics.

Same goes out to whokilledJR. TY 4 the pics :-)

Ultrafire branded if you are interested.

3 days left, but you can pay it later if you put it in the shopping cart.

@whokilledJR

The color is great. Is there a brand or a name printed on it? Maybe some other shops sell the grey version under a different name.

Hi Buwuve, my clone is completely unbranded.

I’m sure it’s the same colour as Biggie’s, perhaps different lighting?

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.

Which is the best for you?

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.

Thank you for the links :slight_smile: Your flashlight has a gungrey color, biggie’s and my own (I have the long 2x 18650/26650 version) looks more bronze colored. Maybe the different cameras and lights make them look different. I like the flashlight and think about to buy the short version.
