I received mine yesterday, and i must say…
I’m a bit disappointed.
They are chunky,the head diameter is 17mm vs 15mm on the jetbeam mini one & se
the finish is kind of rough and the uv on the clear version comes through the body way worse than the jetbeam mini one se.
on the blue star version the uv comes trough even worse, but i expected that
one of them to the head ring is not down all the way, there is a gap.
For the price i payed, it’s an oke light,
wil keep using it for a while to se how long the GITD lasts, but the tiki and mini one se wil stay in use more over this model.
I tryed to take a decent picture, but I’m at work right now so i don’t have my dslr with macro
On the blue star version it’s nice and flush, but on the clear one i have a gap.
So maybe i just got unlucky with this one.
Can you find out if this is glued with a pres fit or if it is threaded and glued?
In the last case i can tri to tighten it a bit more
Got mine today, I’m kinda enjoying it. Interesting the side white makes the body glow (I got the “white” body), but turn it towards something white and it’s bluuuuuee. No big deal.
I don’t have the gap like the image earlier on; the button is a little firmer than expected but nothing too bad. IMO strobe and side-emitter activation should have been switched around, or maybe just even gotten rid of strobe because it won’t ever have the effect that people think it does.
(Now how to take the bezel off - press fit or glue and screw?)
Edit: oh the side white is UV. Got it. That explains the blue/purple.
Received mine this morning. Pretty good shipping time from China, even better consider how much trouble our domestic services have been experiencing (I’m looking at you, USPS) although it did arrive by Fedex which is interesting.
What a nice little light! Excellent in-hand feel for something so small. Still not totally comfortably relying on integral, non replaceable battery but I might have to move it into my EDC for a while and see how I like it.
Does anybody else perceive the “UV” light as a green LED?
Mine came today, not bad 10 days from shipping notification. RGB lights are cool didn’t know about them, not sure how useful they are (how long would they last if I just left them on?) . Button has a good click puts my worry about accidental turning on with 1 click on/off away for now. Mines didn’t have the gap at the end the other use had. I agree with oweban can do without strobe mode or swap it with UV mode instead. I got amber and white because I want GITD feature. Yeah UV looks green my nitecore tiki GITD is the same, I guess it’s due to the shell.
