Got Jet 3 Military today, pics

OK...16 pictures in total.

As you see, it is really a high quality and well-building gadget, I like it very very much. All beam pictures from Jet3 Military is created by a 4.136V 18650 Li-ion battery, while this voltage makes Jet3 Military work under semi-regulated mode, so the output is a little less than Jet 3 Pro. But I'm not caring about that right now.

Well... I don't know what to and how to say...So just let images tell everything.

By the way: I forgot to change my camera's white balance into a fix mode so all photos were taken in AWB. Some of them had serious color distortion, and I did Auto Color when editing them by photoshop.

Nice looking light.

Terrific looking pics and a terrific looking light to boot!

It looks to be a very nicely finished light. Great pics too! Thanks for posting them.

Nice pics, wondering if I should cancel my M20 order for this light... :shrug:

Is "Konica Minorta" a new brand of digital camera? :thinking:

Wow, the steel bezel is THICK!

Man, those people sure ask a lot of questions! lol

Looks like Jetbeam is getting their act together. The tailcap parts look much more solid. Looks like a great light.

Why does the Pro look so much brighter than the Military?
The label for the Pro says "Custom 100%" and the label for the Military says "High". are these the highest settings for each light?

Based on the ringy picture it may be that the Jet-III Pro is SMO and the Military is OP?

What I'm looking at is the spill area of the beam.
The Military does have a smoother transition from hotspot to spill, but the Pro seems much brighter all the way out to the edge.

You're right !
The PRO IBS IS BRIGHTER than the M Series!
Eric - Citivolus - did some tests and he got 6500 lux from the M and 9100 from the PRO IBS, both with OP reflectors.
It seems that the M series is driven not so hard, so the longer runtime on 18650 - 3hrs instead of 1.5hrs - is explained.
Strange conception for a MILITARY purpose : less bright but longer runtime. I thought that the SWAT teams want brighter lights , no matter the runtime.
