Modern day Jet1 MkII IBS?

Hey CPF Gurus, Elders, and general know-it-alls!

I was wondering if there was a modern/currently available light that would compare to the features/output of this older classic? It could be either custom or production light.

Jet1 MkII I.B.S features:
Slim/Compact Single AA Design
Well balanced beam (throw/flood)
High Output
Three user definable levels
Completely hidden strobe/sos/etc

Here's a link to UnknownVT's review:https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/194673

Opinions about this light would be appreciated too. Especially how it would stack up against some modern competition. Do you think it could be upgraded to an XPG?

Thanks for your help!

Crap. I didn't think there was anything out there, but I was hoping I was wrong.

The Jetbeam BK135 is the closest analogue, I'm still EDCing my Jet Mk IBS..

Yeah, I may check out the BK135 when it comes out in a normal color.

The Jet-I MKII IBS was certainly a classic - a very elegant light.

If you can live without the continuously-variable interface, the Zebralight SC51 is probably one of the most interesting 1xAA lights I've seen in awhile. It certainly has the highest output on standard batteries. In fact, it's as bright on eneloops as the Jet-I MK IBS was on 14500 (and that early Jet-I was rather heavily over-driven!).

Still mainly EDC'ing a older classic, my old Jet-1 MKII, which is the host that this IBS is based on. Missed out on this IBS otherwise it probably would be the EDC instead.

Why not carry this old light still as it has a nice switch, med, low, high, strobe and a nice beam and most importantly I like the nice size and feel of it.


I admit that Zebralight SC51 is tempting and the new JetBeam BK135 is also nice as it is still compact with a rear switch and not a twisty.

I think the AKOray K-106 3-mode Q5 AA/14500 comes close.

The 3 modes are programeable and it's not to expensive.
I have one in my edc rotation for some time now and i like it.
Not the best quality but still good.
