Jetbeam Jet-III M

I just ordered one of these awesome looking lights... with money better spent elsewhere!

Someone tell me I've done the right thing!

You have!

Great little light!


:twothumbs

Thanks... my buyers remorse is fading!

You made a great purchase.

I own a Jet III M with warm tint and I really love it.
The programmable mode is really simple to use and the light is somewhat heavy and feels really solid.

You will love it. There is nothing wrong with the Jet III-M that I can find. A very accomplished all rounder - one of JB's best IMO.

Money well spent; nothing to regret

You did the right thing. And you'll want another JetBeam...

Man, now I'm uneasy. I opted for the RRT-2 and should have it in a couple days :hairpull:. I hope I like it...

Go back and read Selfbuilt's review and you'll calm down and realize all is well.

Did you bought the one in Army green? I ordered one today also with the low profile crenulated bezel, can't wait to receive it!!!

It was reading that review that made me decide to buy it!

No, I got the standard colour. The Army green doesn't appeal to me.

R2 or Q5?

Q5. I couldn't find an Australian supplier with the R2.

I don't suppose anyone knows where I could pick up the OP reflector for it?

That's why I got the army green. It was the only color available with R2 and OP. I hope I will like the color in person. By the way, I bought it from BugOutGear and I used international shipping to Canada (8$). I know Austrelia is alot fartter but, I think they might be able to help you with the OP reflector.

BugOutGear will sell the OP reflector separately.

I'll see how the SMO is first, and might get the OP later.

I wonder how easy it is to upgrade the emitter?

I just got a titanium Jet-III M on BST. So, if you have done a wrong thing, I've done an enourmous stupidity! :devil:

The seller told me it was the best built flashlight he ever saw and he has seen many of them. He told me AFTER the purchase, not before. What's more, I have already an RRT2 and an E3P, both excellent built (the ss tailcap button on the E3P sucks however...), the Raptor is a terrible thrower. First thing I did with it outside, was letting it fall out of my open backpack on the ground, on some stones in mud and water. Damn! I cleaned the light and checked the damage : Nothing to be seen, no scratches, mint!

Yesterday I got some 18650 from AW (2600 mAh, flat top) for my actual and future Jetbeams, I hope they all will light up with the flat top cells...

Darn you Now I'm thinking about a SMO M and I have not yet gottin my Raptor shipment :laughing:.

Any one know of a beam shot comparison between OP and SMO III M? I have heard that the SMO does not make a big difference in throw, but would like to know what it does make.
