Dexlight 16-mode CREE at DX

I've been lurking the CPF forums for abut 2 weeks now. This is my first post. I ordered a Jetbeam MKIIx which should be arriving next week. Already have my sights on a few other flashlights I want to get. I've been absorbing info from this site like a sponge.

I've been frequenting kaidomain and dealextreme daily looking for new lights. I came across an interesting one just now. It's described as 'Dexlight Sapphire Cyrstal 3W 16-mode CREE AA/14500 Flashlight Kit'. Not much info on the site yet, but I really enjoyed the torture pics that are posted. Anyone know anything about this light?

I wish I could afford one of those. Good value for the money.

BTHW looks like a interesting light

Looks promising I hope it has a solid UI and a bright High (100 lumens at least) and a very low LOW. We need the specs!

edit: specs were updated as we speak
150 lumes max and 5% NICE SPECS!

one thing :"comes in sealed JetBeam retail packaging with the following items:"

Is this a Jetbeam?

Dexlight=Rexlight?

The description of the accessories and light modes sure sound like a MKIIx.

Sounds to me like a light that DX and Jetbeam might be making together? Maybe as part of their reconciling, DX agreed to help finance a new light?

It looks almost the same as the Rexlight 2.0 ecept the lanyard holes are a little different. So China now clones China

Just for grins, I saved the contents of the DexLight website. Should be interesting to see what changes are made during the development stages.

What would be funny; DX cut out the middle man (JetBeam License holder) & is dealing directly with the factory.

"A JetBeam by any other name, will smell just the same"

I should be doing a review with this light by the end of next week. Stay Tuned

Maybe the Jetbeam factory makes a series especially for DX with some minor differences (round body) so the official Jeatbeam dealers can't complain.

for 40 bucks I want one

I know what you mean. I'm waiting on a Rexlight and MKIIx and this one comes out.

The Dexlight X1 has its own page now more picture and details:http://dexlight.dealextreme.com/

Pretty good specifications. The UI seems the same as JetBeam MKIIx.

DX looks to be firing a shot over the deck of JetBeam/RexLight

I like that the competition keeps bringing the price down and quality up.

We win.:thumbsup:

I think this has been true for quite a while. They haven't found any lights in the US (outside the Surefire niche) worth cloning for some time. Most of these lights are clones of the L1P which was an innovative development of Fenix.

On another note, this is what my Rexlight 2.0 is good for. It keeps me from spending any money on lights like this while I'm waiting for my Rexlight because I don't know what I have yet.

Saves me money in the long run, really....:laughing:

16 Modes???? Why would anybody need that?


If this light is like the REXLIGHT we might see one by Christmas.

Is it just me or are there too many lights that are very similar? Just doesn't excite me anymore. 16 mode? Why WOULD anyone need that? I'd wish there are more orginal AA lights.

Other than that, I love that this light uses Sapphire Crystal.

I agree, also why does my cellphone have a camera and 10 other functions I don't use.
