JR-X1 flashlight - kickstarter

[code2006]

Hi I was wondering if anyone has noticed this flash light on kickstarter

JR-X1: World's Smallest Military Grade Flashlight/Power Bank

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1815834766/jackrabbit-the-ultimate-every-day-carry-flashlight


I was looking for a rechargeable flashlight with min 1k lumen but thought i give his light a try even tho its 500 lumen

I will be posting my first ever review and it will be a out this flash light

Hopefully it will turn out to be a decent light but not bad for $81 posted to the uk

I like it, I backed it. Plus I like helping others with there goals and dreams.

Just been in contact with the creator and they r using xlm t6 leds but i asked about xml2 u3 and they r gonna start testing with the xlm2 u3 and report back to me
Any other leds they should test?
They also have a usb side light which looks cool but still in development and also an extension tube for a bigger 3.7v battery
Hopefully they will get all the funding they need

Im shocked no one else is talking about this light
Like to see what needs improving so we can hopefully tell them
They r making an extension tube for 18650 batterys
Ih and this flash light is made in the USA

I have also been watching this. I wish they would have a video on their campaign so I could see it more in action. I think it would help their funding if they did.

They did say they were gonna upload beam shots
So soon maybe

Have you guys seen this: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...A-Flashlight-(photos)-Work-In-Progress-Part-2


Or this (same builder):

Edit: The USB recharging and better runtime of the JR-X1 is nice to have though. Plus the bigger reflector makes it throw more than the MBI Torpedo.

Would have been nice to have a full spec sheet or something.

Just to note, and not to resuscitate a thread that's in a coma, I decided to throw down for two plus accessory packs. It was actually this thread that pointed me towards it, though at the time, I didn't have a CPF account activated....that's fixed now.

It seems like a decently well conceived concept, and I like the fact that it could....[ahem].....kickstart this dude's company for future releases. I know there are competitive options elsewhere, but he's making what looks like a decently solid product. I'll be looking forward to critiquing it and comparing it to factory lights at similar price points....

Just noticed the thread on this light.

That looks sweet. I'm in.

Flashlight, power bank, and tool carrier to boot? How can any red-blooded CPF'er not be jones-out for this little gem? LOL

I ordered 3 lights at the end will all the extras

Sounds like a big mess of things from the creators and I hope any on CPF who have funded any of these campaigns receive a full resolution.

Typical kickstarter no days. 0 refunds too.
