especially considering the price at which this light is being offered.

Zefiryn, The conversion factor from the total output to Lumens is multiply by 0.11 or 0.12

i.e. 600*0.11 = 66 Lumens to 600*0.12 = 72 Lumens ... It's a "Shoe Box" reading (similar to Milk box / light box)

I am thinking to do another runtime test on the same battery (the one that is used for above test) .... let's see how much juice can we get out of that one :devil:

NiMH is definitely the name of the game with this V.2

The more I use them the more I like them, thanks ViReN for updating.

Pardon ignorance but what's an Alk 1 R ? Old NiCad maybe?

Nice work esp with the pics & graphs - this light seems like a great buy. Do I understand it right that JetBeam kinda got absorbed by EDGE/Nitecore? Wonder if they'll still be making CL-E's....

KV Definitely NiMH is way to go... more eco friendly too

Sorry Grateful Ned, I forgot to mention the description of that graph. I am in a process of updating the site with all info soon. For now.. may i request you to view this post. hope it helps

The NiteCore Defender is about USD $ 80 where as JETBeam C-LE V2 is less than half of that around $30 or so... yet maintaining very good quality and relatively very good runtime (even on alkaline it's regulated)

One significant piece of info you forgot to mention on the website and here is whether that runtime graph is for high, low or medium mode?

Since there's only one mode tested for run time, can we also have the other modes tested also?

Otherwise, great job and very beautiful pictures! :thumbsup:

 

[Grateful Ned]

No worries and thanks - my familiarity with the rechargables and related lingo is about as limited as it is with the lights themselves at this point.

Good review! Had mine for about a month, used everyday and I love this light! I use it with Eneloops and have no complaints at all, was tempted to get the Nitecore Defender, but I see no reason as to why. I would definately get another one and am hoping they release one with a newer LED.

Dear Light-Eater Thanks I had mentioned it once in the Alkaline that the runtime test is on MAX ...

Alkaline 1: The runtime for JETBeam C-LE V2 with Energizer Alkaline on MAX is about 50 minutes till 50%, relatively good considering the light runs in good regulation with 1 AA Alkaline battery. Please note that this is not the end of Alkaline battery. After giving some rest, the Alkaline battery will revive itself to certain extent.

Alkaline 1 R: The same battery as the above test, but with 1 day rest. Note how it still provides sufficient illumination for about 12-14 additional mintues. Even after this test, the battery is not fully depleted yet. The light still provides good amount of light.

NiMH 2100: 2100 mAH Sanyo NiMH battery was used to perform this test. The runtime for JETBeam C-LE V2 with 2100 mAH Sanyo NiMH on MAX is about 1 Hour 50 minutes till 50%. This is an excellent result considering the total amount of light and nearly flat output curve.

IcantC :thumbsup: thanks. It is in deed a very good light at the price it is being offered, I had first used it for 4 or 5 weeks before posting the review.
