Sexy, Shadow makes me want to buy more of their stuff, but they have got to start driving everything harder.

Thx a lot for the great review Foy! Also great to hear that Hank is a stand up guy! I’ve had two positive purchase experiences with IO and definitely wouldn’t hesitate to provide them with more biz.

Great review foy,these shadow lights are really attractive especially the finish.Bummer about the mode memory and how about the PWM with this light?That's really cool of hank to swap heads,even more a reason I will patronize his store.

Thanks for the review Foy!

And for 50 bucks?

Thanks Foy. This light just may be my first foray with 2x18650. Lot a light for $50. It is almost like Hank sits looking at his screen waiting for incoming. He answered two different e-mails of mine with in ten minutes! Stand-up guy. Some others should take lessons from him.

Thanks Foy. If I may be so rude as to ask how it comes up against your JM05? The lights in spec seem pretty similar.

Another great review, thanks.
Wow that’s a sexy light.I really like the fact that the manufacturers are getting the message and driving these things harder so I don’t have to waste my time shoving new drivers in otherwise perfect lights.

Haha, great review, pal :bigsmile: Waiting those beamshots :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you Foy for the great review.

Memo to myself: Don’t read Foy reviews - they are extremly good and at the moment I have no money for new flashlights. Solution: If I don’t read the reviews, I will not know the flashlight and don’t want it :~

One question:
Is the eternal mystery of the homepage of Shadow solved? www.a-mu.co / www.a-mu.com is it not.
Why do they print a not useful www address on their flashlights?

Thanks for the review. I couldn’t help notice you say “an SMO” as in “an S M O reflector” while I think “a SMO (smow)” reflector. Or it could be pronounced “smooth” in your head as well, that would be “a SMO (smooth)” reflector……

Beautiful review as usual Foy! Thanks so much for your hard work on this.
Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

Here you go, Chicago . . .

Old on top, new on bottom . . .

Old on left, new at right . . .

These are lousy but it's all I have right now.

DNF - JM05?

I know they're both C8 SMO's so, it might be easy to assume similar performance. Nope. E/JM05 is brighter, has more run time and (between these two) is easily superior to the TC6. Mind you; it was not before I sent it to E1320. But now . . . (smug laughter) the E/JM05 is a different conversation. I was hoping some others that had Erik mod their JM05's would chime in and corroborate my feelings.

Tecmo -

Not sure I understand the question. Also; never gave my OP/SMO usage much thought . . . "OP" = orange peel reflector and "SMO" = smooth reflector. Don't know if it's correct but . . . that's how I roll.

Thorough review as usual. I like the lite, but lately i’m not liking 2 battery skinny long tube lites. Just like don’t feel of the lite. Maybe a 26650 battery would change that.

19

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the SMO reflector for yours?

20

Thanks for the review. Its always been a looker

Can i borrow $50 bucks
