this will not last long. Beats the Fenix Hands DOWN, i'd get one if it didn't have the advanced mode.

Please excuse my ignorance. Who or what is Dealextreme? If I were to buy the Jetbeam MKIIx from them, do I take up my warranty issues with them rather than Jetbeam? Are they located in the U.S.A.?
Last year I bought the Jetbeam MKI directly from Jetbeam. When it didn't work out of the box, I emailed Emil and didn't get a reply. Fortunately I was able to work out the issue by tinkering with the tailcap on my own. That, to me, was a close call--I probably would have had to send it back overseas back to Emillion if I didn't get it working, and that's if I'd ever be able to get an email reply to my problem.
The only way I'd ever buy a Jetbeam again is if I can deal with a reseller in the U.S.A. who will fix any warranty concerns that might come up. They are really nice lights, when they're not scaring me. Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

If you were concerned about warranties then don't buy a jetbeam lately jetbeams are known for having an awefull warranty, a lot of owners feel being ignored by Emilion. Is more like a gamble on the jetbeams.
They are nice lights if you get a good one if not... you'll have an expensive paperweight.
BESIDES I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR MISSING THE REXLIGHT 2.0 with these lights now, i bet next wave will be even cheaper.

Do you care to explain that with more detail?
What's up with the spring in the head, my MKII-X doesn't have that.
Love my MKII-X, best single AA light I have.

So who going to buy the expensive Fenix L1D CE?

That's very strange. The manufacturer telling customers not to buy from his dealer...

Yeah, I've already spent enough and wait long enough. I wouldn't mind knowing what Emilion meant.
Nice cryptic message as usual...
