JetBeam Cree XR-E ?

[liquidsix]

Has anyone checked out this forum?

It's in some Asian language (I won't attempt to identify). Does anyone know of this hitting the north-american market? Does anyone know what this page says? Are their any tactical style 1xAA Cree XR-E lights coming out (not just mods)?

I'm just full of questions!

It would not be too unexpected for Jetbeam to be one of the first to come out with an XR-E light. Looks like their first one will be a 1.5V only multi-mode 1AA twisty.

According to my Chinese friend the language on the board is Chinese, but probably from Taiwan. The flashlight looks nice

I didn't think Chinese was a language, I thought there was only Mandarin and Cantonese. But who knows, I'm ignorant when it comes to foreign stuff like that.

Anyways. It is a very sexy light, even if it is a twisty... It's making me drool. The big question here is when!?

Man, I love Jetbeams, the new AAA light is fantastic. I will buy anything they come up with.....

It is traditional Chinese.

I'd still like to see one with different battery options, a 2 aa extender would be sweet . Looks pretty cool so far, but it's still early on.

Okay, so I got off my *** and had google translate the page for me:

http://translate.google.com/transla...=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=3oL&sa=G

Apparently it is aimed more at the domestic market (so it doesn't have the clickie (obviously) and it doesn't support lithium batteries.

Outputs are 80 lumen for 2 hours of continuous use, 40 for 7 hours, and 20 for 30 hours.

There was mention of a Jet-I Cree version as well called the JET-I MK.II CREE 249. which I guess would be marketed more towards people like us.

If anyone's heard anything about the date on these or its availability to NA, let me know.

Yessss. A Jetbeam Jet-1 Mk-III with Cree or something better (SSC P4?!?)...

That would be my next light after my Mk-2.

The price is 168 yuan which if I used the right converter is $21.47 USD

Nice a JEtbeam with a Cree. I would love one. My Jetbeam 123 is my EDC and one of my favorite torches. Much nicer quality than all of my fenix lights imo.

I love my Jetbeam MK II too. It's well made and the clicky operating ist great. I am looking forward to a MK II Cree and hopefully a 123 body with clicky tailcap.

That's one heck of a bargain compared to pretty much everything else I was considering to get

I somehow doubt we'll see it for that price on this side of the globe. I guess we can dream, though. :sleepy:

That light looks sweet! It is exactly what I have been looking for in a AA light. When they are for sale let me know! Paypal ready.

yea, that'd be awsome, but it seems like they may have given up on the clicky cr123 body thing.
