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.
Iām sure itās the same colour as Biggieās, perhaps different lighting?
Hereās another link:

Iāve liberally just ordered another light off this seller, so far Iām 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 Iām feeling good about the order, if it comes in a reasonable time Iād 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 wouldnāt come on or change modes. The M10 at $19 to $22 is a tough one to beatā¦ I got 3 of the M10s, and two of the JM05 clones.

Thank you for the links Your flashlight has a gungrey color, biggieās 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.
Thanks.
Welcome to the gang, F. Premens!
Well, my ultrafire jm05 arrived todayā¦ā¦ā¦
Keygos cells too long, inrās too long, protected 2800 18650, too longā¦ā¦ :~ Iām going to take all my cells and the light to work tomorrow, I suspect the tail cap assembly requires some attention/reassembly, hey ho.
Otherwise its damm nice, lubed threads and o rings, tailcap has wolf engraved in it, clicky feels nice, seems itāll have a lock out feature, if I ever get it goingā¦ It has a nice heft in the hand, I like it, just wish it had fired up, I do get the occasional flash when screwing the tail cap on.
Oh, the pill is damm loose in the head, although the reflector does tighten it up nicely.
Come to think of it mine had similar issues, I placed 2 washers underneath the pill to take pressure off the batteries and itās worked fine ever since.
Iāve just had it apart, not sure I can push the pill further into the head, its hard against the reflector, which is hard against the lense and bezel, and I want all of them tight against the o-rings.
I turned my attention to the tail cap, it has a brass button sitting on the spring, retained by a plastic top hat and a brass ring. All these jut out into the tail cap.
When I stripped it, I got the next suprise, the spring is not soldered to the board. As I stripped further, I got another suprise when the clicky flicked across the cab of the vanā¦ā¦. Yep, thatās not soldered either :~
This thing as is will not pass much current I believe, and would probably flicker if shaken.
Iāll add photos when Iām not at work, but I first thought of flipping the brass retainer, however it first needs relieving as it would link out the switch (lucky its brass huh?). So my plan is to relieve the retainer, do away with the button top and top hat, solder the whole switch assembly, then go from there.
I did manage to get both an inr 26650 and a grey ultrafire to light it, but not with the tail cap tightened down, and buying specific short cells is not happening, I want it able to run what ever I put in.
The pill fit is really, really poor by the way, Iām thinking of trying to us Ali foil like ptfe tape on a plumbing fitting along with thermal grease, or if I decide I really like it, I may see about getting a new pill made, depends on the threads in the head I suppose.
It sounds like they have the same issues as the original JM05. I could only fit unprotected batteries in it as well. It does not bode well that there is a lack of parts being soldered in. Sounds like a good do it yourselfer!
Itās definitely more of a kit than a completed light, the 26650ās are very snug too, still, itāll keep me entertainedā¦.
The flashlight ran fine with these http://www.intl-outdoor.com/2-pcs-kingkong-inr26650e-4000mah-liion-battery-p-369.html. In the end I made another battery tube up to take either.
They look identical to the inrās I have, they donāt fit. :~
They measure about 65.5mm long. As they are flat tops they need a small magnet between the two batteries for a connection. I dont think you will find batteries much shorter than that. Strange.
Mine have a slightly raised top compared to the keygos cells, the problem is both the driver and neg button protrude into the battery tube, its just poor internal design.
Driver size? 17mm?
