Soon. [quote=Satan@103TFS] Some review will be nice. ;) [/quote]

I had a brief play with my one last night. Its a thrower alright. White wall hunting shows some rings and some yellow blobs in the hotspot but its not a flashlight for close up work. It was illuminating trees approx 300m away with no problems. I ran out of time last night as there was a party going on in the street because of some wedding Beer does not drink itself.

BlueSwordM · 2018-05-20T17:45:02.000Z

I would love if this light had a 4000k or 5000k LED CCT option. Would make for a very nice thrower.

that means the led is properly seat in the middle.

I finally got this puppy ordered!!!

My phone never would work and then I kept getting an “Invalid Code” message when trying to use my laptop. :person_facepalming:

I finally just gave up. But I revisited it again today and finally realized the problem was operator error………

The code was ODxxxx…… I thought. BUT, in reality it was 0Dxxxx……. :person_facepalming:

It worked like a charm when I finally typed that first ZERO “0” rather than a capital “O”………

freeme · 2018-05-22T18:49:36.000Z

I know it is confusing, I have another member misread the code too. Will request to change to a more legible code soon.

I finally just typed the “zero” on a whim & it worked…… . I should have thought of that sooner…

Well I got mine yesterday and it looks good.
Build quality and ano seem alright, the led is perfectly centered, the lens has a coating, the charging seems to work and the packaging was very good.

However…………….the reflector looks weird, like not 100% reflective, lots of machining signs and a little “fuzzy” (by lack of better words to describe it).

I’ve compared it to the reflector of my Acebeam T20 (roughly same diameter and depth and to the naked eye the differences are quite clear, but it’s difficult to make pictures that show it clearly.
I tried though. Hope you can see it too.

Charging my best 26650 at this moment and IO’ll take throw measurements asap and let you all know.

Cheers,
Nico

Interested in code please.

Hardusvd70 · 2018-06-06T05:53:41.000Z

interested.

Agro · 2018-06-07T09:34:49.000Z

Got my light today:

The first impression it made is the second worst of all my lights. Second after $1 plastic junk.

anodization doesn’t look nice (but I can’t tell if it’s sturdy or not)
light came dirty with some grease
switch cover is heavily scratched, as if it was heavily used in the item it was recycled from
bezel - colour looks bad, not like on pictures
bezel - has 4 black areas as if it was held by something during dyeing
dusty reflector
fuzzy reflector…and in some places has larger orange-peel-like imperfections.
LED off centre and not just a bit

Positives? OK, there are some too.

magnetic connector works well
the light is fairly lightweight and a bit smaller than I expected
threads are well lubricated (though the lube stinks badly)

Mine is supposed to be here by Monday 11 June. (hopefully it will arrive a day or two early… )

After reading these conflicting first impressions I will be interested to see what mine looks like & what my impressions are.

Well, could be a lottery - I have got 3 of them and all with clean, shiny reflectors, could not see any other fault like off center emitter, etc. One was with black bezel and the latest two were with blue bezel. Charging working well on all three.

I have played with one of them, measured 263K candela from 11m with HS1010A, shined it @500m - looks OK and within the spec. I think the turbo should have also been able to be memorized, as switching on by the forward clicky is bringing you only to high, while Turbo is not that hot to be dangerous.

For me the light is excellent bang for the buck. Lets see how it will perform on a longer run.

Agro:

My JM70 came today.
Batteries are charging…but the first impression it made is the second worst of all my lights. Second after $1 plastic junk…

Bad news for me, maybe I need to reconsider, which single 26650 light could be a good base choice for modding.

It might be…… But I feel lucky. I am thinking & hoping all will be well like with your three. :+1: .

Mine arrived yesterday.

IF it was a “lottery”, as mentioned above…… I WON!! .

Perfect as far as I can tell. Blue bezel has those 4 super tiny “black marks” that were mentioned… but as far as I am concerned that is not an issue at all.

LED is perfectly centered
Reflector is clean & nicely done
Finish is well done… both reflector & anodization
It was packed very well
ALL IS GOOD!!

The only complaint is it has a Chinese Owners Manual… . .

Charging up a 26650 & will check the rest out later.

This seems to be an excellent value…. as in ‘great bang for the buck’!!!

Extremely pleased & may order another. :+1:

yasenf · 2018-06-10T14:08:31.000Z

Nice to hear, I started thinking I am extremely lucky Have fun with the new toy.
BTW, as far as I can trust my luxmeter, my light is within the specs.

Thank you!! Yeah… this evening I’ll check mine out & see how it preforms. I am expecting the best…. :+1:

But as I said before… I am extremely pleased with what I see so far.

Nicolaas · 2018-06-12T08:44:45.000Z

Well, mine might not have the best reflector quality available but after bridging the springs it does 240Kcd (measured with Djozz’ calibrated Gossen).
So for this price point a great deal.

I will get a XP-L HI V3 3C to replace the led because I do not think the latest bin is in there.
That will bring a nicer tint and perhaps a little more throw, will post results.

Cheers,
Nico
