Jetbeam C-LE "1.5V only" text on head

Maybe I just missed something here but in this link........

I can see 1.5V only text printed on the head of the Jetbeam C-LE. In all of the reviews and pics on CPF, nowhere do I see this text. Or maybe all of the photos were taken with this text facing the other way? I am one of the many that ordered one of these from DX and I am just curious. Does anyone have this text printed on the head of their Jetbam C-LE?

I did a litle research on this light; before the license holder sabotaged the DX deal.

The C-LE is not meant to run the 4.7v Lithiums.

Some customers says that it runs fine with the 14500 battery. Others say that using the 14500 burnt out the circuitry & converted their light to a direct drive.

Related to this, is the whole "Hidden Mode" & 14500 battery usage. Same results as the above.

...and the price is only $24 USD converted from 188.00 HKD or yuan. So in Asia its actually cheaper and NOT like Emilion says that its sold same price world wide.

No such text on the head of my Jetbeam C-LE.

Then why don't we buy them from this guy???????????????

Because the Chinese source is probably not licensed to sell it outside China. If he did, it would become a gray market product.

So he can't sell to someone in China who then ships to us? Like Kai. That guy has a bunch of cool stuff like a WolfEyes 10watt HID for $166.00. Very confusing site though with all the question marks and stuff.

Well ,I have a jtebeam c-le and there isn't any 1.5 volt only printed anywhere...there are 2 versions of this light....the one you have which doesn't have the secret mode...and runs on reguler AA only....and the other version which has the secret locator mode and if they had been built with copper slugs for thermal protection instead of gobbs of thermal grease under the led assemblies WOULD run nicely with 14500's installed....But alas it eventually burns up .........and poof there goes your nice light. I fortunately was not in on the group buys and didn't have the thread issues associated with those units,,and I didn't buy from dealextreme either..

They tried to use thermal grease as a heat sink?
