Hi my friends!
it has been a while since i received:
BOXES!
filled with Shadow JM35 flashlights !
the Sticker says one is a Cree XHP50 LED – so the other has to be a Cree MT-G2 LED
(because that are all sold options)
inside the boxes could be twins
both had the same bubblefoilbag with the same things in it:
A spare lens and a red Oring, a lanyard and a user manual (i think…)
i pulled the lights out of their foam packaging and YAY!
just kidding! – the batterytube with the rear switch was taken from a JM30 😉
the JM35 DOES NOT have a rear klickie – it is operated only with the side e-switch.
lockout by turning the batterytube ½ turn is possible.
UI:
a short click brings LOW-MID-HIGH-LOW-MID…
long click to OFF from any level
always starts on LOW
i found no dico and ni visible PWM
BUT the XHP50 squeaks on low and mid – the MT-G2 is quiet…
some more pics…
on the left side MT-G2 – right side XHP50
using UV light shows the “warmer” tint of the MT-G2s phosphor
a look into the driver
unfortunately i did not manage to get it open…
at the end of the battery tube sits a thin spring
some reported they had to bridge them with wire to make the light work with protected cells – more later on that.
instead of the rear swiitch the JM35 has a plug (made from plastic)
battery tube is well done
as is the lubed threads
opened up the hot end
MT-G2
quite thick aluminium MCPCB
XHP50
the side switch is well made also
also well done is the machining
the anodisation looks a bit shiny and slippery…but thats just my point of view…
the JM35 is a small light when it comes to lenght..
i like the feel of the JM30 better…
or a K40
or…
but small can also be beautiful 😉
lets use them what the was made for…
for all my tests i used keeppower cells
the XHP50 10 cm in front of a wooden plank
i had to use darker settings to get the dark cross from the 4 dies on camera
but 30 cm away the cross is gone!
if you look carefully you see that the MT-G2 (on the right side) also has a doughnuthole
30cm away….

the setup i used for the beamshots
look me in the eye!
numb3rs:
JM35 | MT-G2 | JM35 | XHP50 | JM30 | MT-G2 | modded | ||
low | mid | high | low | mid | high | low | mid | high |
224 lm | 1052 lm | 2080 lm | 228 lm | 1060 lm | 1940 lm | 80 lm | 760 lm | 2980 lm |
0,33 A | 1,85 A | 5,3 A | 0,36 A | 1,92 A | 5,2 A | 0,075 A | 0,84 A | 4,71 A |
Amperes measured at the tailcap // my BudgetLightBox gives a bit high numbers…
some things…
both lights DID work with my protected keeppower 26650!
but with none of my protected 18650s!
unprotected 18650s worked IF thes are high Amps capable !
using a bad cell resulted in a massive voltage drop which caused the drawn Amps to rise !!
a Samsung ICR1865022E (pulled cell) dropped from 4,12V to 3.0V and was squeezed 6,7A
a Sony 18650VT pull dropped from 4,1V to 3,7V and delivered 5,1A
and so did a Samsung ICR1865022P…
when the batterytube is tightened and the Driver goes to “standby” a initial flash appears (too fast for my Ampmeter) which triggers weak protection circuits…

a unprotected cell and a eachine cell (resets the protection fast!)
other cells just shut off and had to be reactivated … (tried 4 different protected cells)
Conclusion:
nice lights!
a bit too small for me tough – i have to grab the head also to hold it comfty
the need of “special cells” is mentioned at banggood – so have them prepared
word is that a bridged rear spring can make more cells to work
for that small ammount of money you get a lot of light – but you can see that its a cheap one
(but still better made than the JM30 was)
unfortunately i could not get a view of the driver (the lights will be given away so i can´t destroy them)
i will add outdoor beamshots asap
