JETBeam DDR30-3200 lumens Digital display picture from China Shoudian.org

Found some very nice pictures of JETBeam new product DDR30:twothumbs
Shoot by one China flashaholic with ID:Aku1979

















Detail pictures:

Looks awesome, with digit display will be much convenient. I am interested on the beam picture-better compared with EYE30/40 RRT3 and TM15 or TK70.
Will it be expensive than RRT3 3xm-l?

Quite eye-catching! When can I get one? Want more information about it.

Looks good! ...but then JetBeam has always managed to make good looking lights.

Jetbeam always makes great quality products. They also make Niteye products which are awesome as well.

Nice. On those larger lights, the display module is much less cumbersome than on the small ones.

The digital display and side switch to not appeal to me at all, on any of these series of lights.

Yes I had the same thought. I hope there are more levels on this light though. I think the interface on most of these bright lights makes no sense. With 3200 Lm you need more than 3 or 4 levels, esp. in the lower range, to be a general-purpose light. This one could display 9+ levels. One button not convenient for that however.

I was hoping it would have full variable output. Looks like a nice light, the display I can do without but it would be nice to know what I had left for battery power. 3 levels of output ..... I don't know. This or the TK-75 ?

I can see all the light companies putting a little display unit on there products in the future,i look forward to it seeing a fuel gauge on my light.

Excellent observation. A digital brightness level I do not need but a battery fuel gauge is
what people IMO want.:thumbsup:

Nice looking lights. Such a letdown that they are in fact 3-level lights. Sorry but this is ridiculous. Even if each level was configurable, that would be a huge iprovement. DDR26 is 800/150/15 Lm. What? Really?

The current crop of the 3 XML lights we are seeing has me wondering that as soon as I buy one the variable output models will be out....... Just my two cents.

x40 is out already with variable output

This is one of the very few flashlight that has gotten my attention in the last months. The other two were the SC52 and the EA4, both top performers of their class.

I was about to order the blackshadow termninator when I saw this. Definitely worth the wait.

Judging aiku's long throw shots from his other reviews I could say this will throw as far as the TM15.

CHEERS

There is a fuel gauge.

According to Jetbeam's description, the display can show either the brightness level or remaining battery power (i.e. fuel gauge). The pics above show "8" on the screen and since there are only 3 brightness levels, it must be showing remaining battery power.

On a different subject, the recharger can only be used at 15V in - I guess this means it can only be plugged into a car rather than standard wall socket.

Lux is pretty good for a multi-emitter light! Not the best, but sure is up there.
