I just got my Klarus P1A today. I had a JetBeam BA10, but sold it. These appear to be the same light. Both are putting out ~140 ANSI lumens on high and ~12 ANSI lumens on low (had both tested). Both use an XP-G R5 emitter. Same user interface, and almost identical amount of "twist" is used to switch modes. Both have a "squishy" forward clicky. Specs are very similar. The tailcaps are identical, right down to the white plastic switch with "silver-plated connect points". Same (exact) beam profile / throw / spill / tint. The clips are just a tad different, as are the heads, but it seems they could be made in the same factory. Hmm... same province in China (Guangdong) but different addresses.
I can't shake the thought that the Klarus P1A and JetBeam BA10 are the same light, with the exception of a few minor cosmetic differences. Anybody else have both, or any thoughts on this?
