I hit the "search" key to make sure there was not a similar thread, I think I am good to go!
I would like to know if anyone has one and what they think about it? I would venture to say that there are some of you out there!!
This was my first decent light. However, since I am a true "Flashaholic" and wanted more, more, more and brighter, brighter and brighter, it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle!
Tonight, I got a rekindled appreciation for it. Since One out of the Two powerful torches I have is getting fixed[TK-75] or replaced, I am alternating my BST[Black Shadow Terminator] with my Jetbeam BC-40.
The Jetbeam BC-40 is a Two mode light. Low:130 Lumens, High: 830 Lumens. Regardless of which light I use, I like to light up the forest, so I rarely use low! It is a light, light[no pun intended], easy to carry, does NOT get hot one bit[takes two 18650] and is 8.66" long, with a throw of 377 yards and uses Cree XP-G, R5 LED's.The optics are very nice[ Quality reflector]. The price was also right, $60.00. I will say for the money it is my BEST light. Certainly sufficient enough to walk the Dog at night. That is what brought me to this new addiction!
It has a very clean, useful and potent beam. When I take walks at night with "Capo" my Siberian, we go to isolated areas, back roads where we are lucky to see a couple cars in an hours time. This one walk in the woods is on a trail with a Creek on one side[ about 100 foot drop] and a rising bluff on the other. Basically the trees form a canopy over the trail which resembles a tunnel. So, as I was using the Jetbeam tonight I am thinking, this light is awesome! There are some straight away stretches that are several hundred yards long and it has no problem shining all the way down natures tunnel!
To end the chatter, If I am honest with myself, I DO NOT need these other lights that have tremendous throw, flood, ect.,, just to walk the Dog!!Someone on this site said a few weeks ago, "You use a TK-75 to walk your Dog??!!!":huh: But I do it anyway because I am a flashaholic!! Don't get me wrong, I do not use my TK-75 to walk the Siberian through neighborhoods!! I am in dark, desolate areas where I can enjoy the beauty of these lights!
The Jetbeam BC-40 really is a great light. It may help me realize that I do not have to keep on buying and buying and buying,,or will it tame this Flashaholic?
:thinking::laughing::mecry:
So, here is where you fine Ladies and Gentlemen come in.
I would enjoy your input, experience and opinion on the Jetbeam BC-40.
Thanks for your time, enjoy your torches!
