JetBeam M1X -Opinions Please

Hi Guys,
Those who have received their JB M1X--what's your verdict????
Am considering one when next shipment arrives but opinions and reviews are scarce.
Thanks Stewart

M1X looks impressive. I might look into one someday.

I think it is the best MC-E light on the market and for a great price... till the official release of the Legion II. LOL

I got one from the first batch and I love it. I replaced my Lumapower MVP 3 x CREE with it, and the MRV had formerly replaced a Wolf-Eyes Thunder that I had. Given these three lights, I think the M1X is clearly the best.

Beats my Trustfire P7 for tint and throw, beats by Deree DBS V2 MC-E for throw but the Deree has a brighter spill, and has almost as much throw as my Deree DBS V2 R2. My only complaints ... still can't twist the head to access those other modes, and its size is neither fish nor fowl ... way too big for EDC, no easy way to put on a lanyard, too small for a shoulder strap ... but what a BEAUTIFUL beam! Looking forward to more pics of the Legion II.

Had the same problem, the spring that pushes the brass contact back was stuck, to much grease i thing.
I would like it much better if the body tube where 2 or 3 mm thicker.

I'm a newbie so please pardon my ignorance, but does the DBS V2 R2 really beat the M1X in throw? If so, by how much? I got the M1X and am totally blown away by its throwing ability. If the DBS V2 R2 is noticably better at throwing I may consider getting one.

The problem with all MC-E and P7 lights is focusing, they can not focus the beam as tight as a XR-E led.
This makes it possible for a DBS with XR-E to throw further than M1X, but the total light output from the DBS is lower.

More pics, output lumens, runtime are all updated in both CPF and CPFM.
Enjoy them!

Trying my best to keep my wallet away from your pics and specs ... until next pay day anyway. You're making my lovely M1X beam look more like a mıx (shrunken).:mecry:
