I do think that this is a clear case of lego……don’t have the JM30 but the batt tube of the STR1 looks exactly the same.

Bytheway: Me buying a JM35 will have to be postponed a little while because the “Wonderfull & Intelligent Financial Executive” (aka W.I.F.E.) has strongly advised me to postpone this due to the number of ongoing projects and recent purchases…… :_(
I’m in doubt of which one I should choose (the JM30 or JM35), I want to be able to use one and two batteries…
Anyone know yet if we will be able to use two 26650 batteris (with extension tube) in this one?
I am looking longingly at this Shadow JM35 (1xMTG2), or SL3 (3xXM-L2). Both available from Ric @ CNQG/EDC-Light.
Still undecided between these – any kind advice?!
I think that’s the same driver I tried out in my ZY-T08: Mod: Small Sun ZY-T08 MT-G2 (without cells in series conversion)
I didn’t like the sluggish mode selections, so I never bothered about resistor modding it. I went ahead and designed a new driver and switch plate for series conversion instead, but that’s for another thread when I get around to completing it.
You cannot choose JM30 to be able to use one cell if you want the MTG-2.
2 cells in the JM35 might not be possible. The descriptions shows Working Voltage: 6v.
Not sure if “working voltage” is the same as “Voltage Input” as shown in the specs on other lights from different sites (like DX)
I like the side switch so it will be JM35 for me. I want to run 2 cell configuration more to have a longer tube than for runtime. So my idea is to get the JM35 and the JM30 Ext. tube, then I will use a 18650 dummy battery in an 18650 to 26650 conversion sleeve for the 2nd cell.
Yeah I guess it’s not possible sadly… Would love to have the JM35 with 2 cells. I guess I could just bring with me a second cell, but the boost driver reduces the runtime quite a bit i suppose.
M4D M4X, will you be getting a MT-G2 or XHP-50 version. Would be interested in the differences and exactly how this host/reflector handles the subtleties of each LED.
i.e. Black ‘X’ in middle of four-die XHP50 vs yellow spots of MTG2 - if I’ve researched correctly!
Maybe each JM35 emitter option also has other host differences based on production age:
Pictures of the MT-G2 version on CNQG/EDC-Light have a different tail-cap (with what looks like a flat metal trigger button).
Whilst pictures of the same light on BangGood have a tail-cap that looks like the JM30 style (with rubber boot button).
Do you know which style(s) BangGood carry in stock? Is their MT-G2 version host different at all from the XHP50 host as pictured above, or would they have the same tail-cap button style?
I really want to order this light, especially with your great $39 deals. But can’t commit to either option until we know which is best and any other differences…
Who is Edc light? Could you post a link? I google EDC light and there was a lot of interesting stuff but didn’t see a webstore by that name. Also can’t find “his thread (Edc light)” on here.
Just received my JM 35(mt-g2) today in the mail but its acting weird. It supposed to have low medium high and turbo but when I tighten the battery tube to start the flashlight it goes in to strobe mode only! I bought this flashlight from EDC light and today I sent out a email to Ric in regards to the problem and hopefully I will get a response soon from him. Do you guys having the same problems with your jm35? I already tried using diferent size batteries, even LIFEPO4 and still get the strobe mode only, please help me!!
