I just received my MK IBS from Bugoutgear, and I'm pretty impressed.

Since I have some previous Jetbeam lights, I thought I would take some outdoor beamshots for comparison. I also added some other lights for comparison sake.

Lights (in order of beamshot):

Fenix L1D CE P4 E92
Novatac 85p RCR123
Fenix L0D CE Q4 10440
Jetbeam MKIIX 14500
Jetbeam MKIIR 14500
Jetbeam MKIBS 14500
Dealextreme D26 P4 17650
Dealextreme D26 SSC 17650
Dealextreme D26 Q5 17650
Terralux TLE-6EXB
Lumahunter MRV Q2 (DX version) 2xRCR123
Lumensfactory E0-9 2x18500
Fivemega FM85 WA1185 3xAW'C'

Camera settings: ISO 100, .8 seconds, F/4
Distance ~50 feet
AWB set to "Daytime"

I'm still not very good with outdoor night-time beamshots, but these are better than my first try.

All rechargeable cells were freshly charged, then the lights were run for a few minutes to take "the edge" off.

Very nicely done. Now I have to look at Jetbeam lights again as another quality light source. The Jetbeam MKIBS and III IBS are the ones I am going to purchase soon.
