Summary

You don’t hear much about JETBeam. That’s a shame, because the long-established company has some interesting flashlights in its portfolio. The new JETBeam E26 (“Kunai”) has just been released.

The E26 was announced a few months ago via a Kickstarter campaign and was successfully funded after just one day. I had the opportunity to test the flashlight before it was officially shipped.

JETBeam made a successful start with the E26 “Kunai” into the world of flat flashlights: white light, UV light and a green laser, combined with intuitive UI using a rotating ring and two buttons, fast charging via USB-C and an ergonomic, practical design.

For the perfect experience I miss direct access to the lowest level, which could also be a little lower. That, and if the flashlight was a little shorter, it would be the perfect EDC flashlight for me. But even as it is, it makes a very good impression.

This review was sponsored by flashlightgo.com, a Chinese shop with a large selection of flashlights.

      With some imagination the lanyard could be seen as a ring.

      On the other hand, I just tried to stab myself and it didn’t hurt. Definitely no real kunai.

      And you can’t call something E26 without it fitting into an E26 light bulb socket
