Recently Purchased JetBeam BC25-SE

[ewetstone]

Hello everyone...new member with a new Jetbeam BC25-SE with a few questions.

First...for any of you that own one or have tested it, do you believe it really is or comes close to the advertised 960lm count? I am running a 3400mAh 18650 PROTECTED Li-ion Orbtronic Rechargeable Battery in it. I also have a cheap Chinese led purchased on amazon for about 10 bucks that....and I kid you not...out throws this jetbeam. Both have the same cree XM-L T6 emitter.

Second....does anyone know if there is a tail cap pressure switch that will fit this from another manufacturer since jetbeam does not offer one...at least yet.

So...thanx in advance for any suggestions and happy to be a member...should of joined a long time ago.

The SYSMAX remote pressure switch fits *perfectly*.

The RSW1. You have my word.

Does the 10 bucks cheap light have a big reflector compared to the Jetbeam? A lights throw is dependent on many factors, pricing is only very weakly correlated

The cheap light has I believe a glass convex lens as opposed to a reflector. This is a link to it.

I also found this: JETBeam RM06 Remote Pressure Switch for RRT1 RRT2 BC40 PC25 BC25 that lists the BC25...will that fit the SE model? This is the link for that:

It does not look like the other from Nitecore.

Which one would you recommend?

It has a glass convex lens and not a reflector.

Let me ask you gentlemen another Jetbeam question.

Can someone suggest a crenulated bezel which will fit this light?
