Shadow JM07 Clone Spotted at DX

I thought this deserved its own thread (posted it in the "Clone of Trustfire A8" thread).

Found a clone of a Shadow JM07 at DX, but with a single tailswitch instead of the 2nd side clicky. I know the JM07 is touted as "The best cycling light". Could be a very nice 26650 mod host! I might have to pick one up! I'll drop my mod idea with the Keygos M10 for this one.

Sky Eye F13: $21.60

Here is the Shadow JM07:

I couldn't resist, broke down and ordered it. I'll do a full review once I get it (in 4 to 6 months!).

Thats a good looking light Garry

garry finds good lights… the challenge is not buying them :stuck_out_tongue:

at least garry jumped on this one so we can wait for his review haha

I'm so excited about this light! Feel like a kid in a candy store! Now I hope it doesn't dissappoint! I'm really only looking for a decent hefty pill, 17mm or at least 20mm driver cavity, and decent build quality.

-Garry

Perhaps I should have written "GET TO DX NOW" in the thread title and more people would have jumped on it!

DX page says it ships in 7 to 10 days. I think that means they don't have it on hand to ship immediately.

LOL

all those heat fins look promising… i wonder what kind of pill/driver it has

This really does look interesting, I’ve had my eye on this one on Ali express under different brand names Polyfire and E-Smart.

What I really like about this light is it’s combined the best design Ascetics of both the Pro and Side-clicky versions and looks great. (SS Bezel with the pro’s knurled body).

It doesn’t appear to have a HA3 finish, and unfortunately unlike the original it doesn’t have the same integrated pill for superior heat transfer. However the pill does look quite substantial, you can see it on Ali-express:

Assuming there’s no design flaws like the JM05 clone, and the finish is good this light would be an absolute steel at around $21 and hopefully has good modding potential.

It's based/cloned after the JM07-PRO, not the flashlight you posted.

Thanks for those links WKJR! Nice detailed pics! Seems promising! Pics of the pill look great! Looks like a 20mm or bigger driver cavity (probably bigger like 24mm - 26mm) and lots of depth! Wait - looking again and comparing to the demurrer star size - assuming a 20mm star I'd say driver is close to 20mm too.

If the lense is the same diameter as the original pro you can also get an AR coated lense for it from Intl outdoors, although lightly coated, probably on one side only as the purplish tint isn’t as obvious when compared to some of my others:

Good to know! Thanks!

Looks like a good deal. I’m looking forward to the review.

I like this light, it might be the one we were talking about! Will see after you get it. Thanks for being the guinea pig…… :bigsmile:

that driver looks like the 20mm one you get in a kegos m10 (and many other budget lights tbf) the pill looks brilliant for heat transfer with all those threads too.

The driver appears to have two "LED+" outputs. What's that about?

-Garry

not sure, it also looks a bit like a jacobs a60 driver…….I think……

I beleive i have seen that driver before maybe in the SK98 and others. It not a totally bad driver if its the one thats in the SK98’s. Has a good high, been thinking I might put this in the ebay 57mm ultra ok to drive it harder then see if its capable of taking the 4xAAA’s. if it dont and it burns it out its not a big loss.

this looks like a good candidate to run 3x eneloop and a sbt70 :open_mouth:

3AA's? 3AA's won't fit a 26650 sized tube.
