Jetbeam LEP with pineapple body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the first titanium flashlights I really wanted to have, a long time ago, was the Jetbeam TC-R3. It had a pretty rough body knurling, which has similarities with this Jetbeam L2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, we are about a decade later, and the Jetbeam L2 is a different kind of beast. It’s available in aluminum and titanium, and you also got to choose between a LED and an LEP version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there are almost no specifications available for this particular LEP flashlight<\/a>. All I can find are the specs on Banggood.com. And to be honest, those specs are not enough to really say anything useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body also reminds me of the Jetbeam E1, and Lumintop Thor 1<\/a>, with a very proud tail switch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use, batteries, and more<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it does have an attack bezel, and I hope it won’t be too much struggle to take it off, and replace it with a short flat bezel. If you’re a long-time BLF member, we’d call it a Foy bezel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of battery choice, I’m not 100% sure the reason behind it. It’s a 18650 battery tube, and I think most flashlight manufacturers are focusing more and more on 21700 type batteries instead. The difference in width between a 18650 and 21700 battery is only 3 millimeters (18mm vs 21mm). But you get a lot more capacity and power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, it’s interesting to see Jetbeam releasing yet another pretty good-looking flashlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it’s still too early to tell. And just by looking at the size, I’m confident enough to say it’s using the shine-through LEP module, and not the classic mirror-style module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also think it will have a quick drop-off in output, just like the Jetbeam RRT M1X raptor<\/a>, and Jetbeam RRT M2S Raptor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banggood’s specifications say: 1000 meters of throw (which equals to 250,000cd) is doable, but probably not longer than 1-2 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get the flashlight here:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s currently not available at any major online store! I’d recommend looking at our list of the best lep laser flashlights<\/a> for an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
