I used some Amazon credit card points and ordered a new light this morning
(yes, ANOTHER one)
I've never owned a Jetbeam before, so this will be my first - a Jetbeam BC40.

It states it puts out 830 lumens. In the candle power forum tests of the light, the output seems pretty close to this in the real world. For $69, it is a good deal.
I considered buying the Eagletac G25C2... Their newest light. Lumens are close, but its $109 for the base 2 cell model, and my favorite vendor doesn't sell on Amazon (so, I can't use my credit card points)
And, the reflector on the G25C2 is just big enough on that one to be almost too big for pocket carry, despite being a 2 cell light (without the extender). So, I wouldn't be carrying it anyway...
This Jetbeam will put out a tiny bit more, and will have a larger reflector head, so output
should be a little better.
My daily carry light is my Eagletac T20C2 MK II, so anything I buy now is just to play around with anyway.
For the money, this should be a good light from a name brand
(and for the money, it's free for me with those points)
