Solid review. I ordered one up from Amazon. I also ordered the Manker E11 and now looking at the Klarus Mi7 as well to EDC. I hope these all take the EcoGear 14500 protected battery. Currently using the Coast HX5 which has no problem with that battery and just looking for something with more than 345 lumens in a compact size. They arrive soon, so we shall see.

The Jet-μ is a beast on a 10440. Bought 2 because i wanted the driver in a tool ti. The driver did not fit, so ended up with 2 Jet-μ. Easy to mod both the jet-1 and Jet-μ. My jet-1 got a neutral xp-l hi, and one of my Jet-μ's got a nichia 219b for coulor, and the other a xp-g3 for more output. Dont like the jet-1 with a 14500, the pwm is bad, its great on a aa cell. But running the Jet-μ on a 10440, turns it into a epic flamethrower (no pwm). This little thing is silly bright on a 10440, been running it on a 10440 for some days now, not more than 30 sek on high mode, it gets hot fast. Im not going to put a aaa in the xp-g3 modded light. It's going to eat 10440's until it dies. So time will tell if it can survive on a 10440 in the long run :)

Great review.
It is unfortunate that the clip isn't reversible and that 10440 aren't supported. Next version maybe. ;):thumbsup:
