today I received my Jetbeam M2S which I ordered from banggood around Christmas. I paid for that light but got a good deal thanks to M4dm4x!
The technical data is stated as follows:
- 810kcd
- 480 lumens
- 2.7h
- 2.4 - 6.2V
Funnily the manual states 2xCR123 compatibility. As no sleeve is included that might be a rather rattly experience, if those batteries make contact at all - I will not try that.
The light comes in a protective case
The case contains the light (with one battery inside), 1(!) spare o-ring, a very short “manual” and a wrist strap.
The light is easily recognized as a Jetbeam light due to typical Jetbeam style. I did not buy the Acebeam W10 as I do not like its looks. It looks like a cheap light to me. Sure, performance is more important but I personally care for the looks as well.
It offers a simple 2 Mode UI with mode memory.
Looking into the optics you see the typical LEP design. The dust is actually on the outer lens - there is very little dust inside which can only be seen by shining another light into the optics.
The included battery can be charged via Micro USB. It has no markings, thus brand and capacity are unknown as of yet. It does not fit into my SkyRC charger to check capacity. I might hook it up to my RC Battery charger later.
All parts of the light
Performance:
I have no doubt that Jetbeams ratings are realistic. It does outthrow my Imalent R90C but it gets trumped by my BLF GT (XHP35). This is pretty much spot on for a light with ~800kcd.
I may measure throw during the next days.
As I live in the city I can’t do thrower beamshots without harassing neighbors though. The following picture has to suffice.
Verdict:
If you like pocket throwers this is definitely the one to get. M1X or W30 have bigger heads. Sure, they are pocketable but for me they are too big to carry conveniently. If I want to carry a big light a grab the R90C
