JETs' Shadow is the half brother to our Axis product. Its' very slim profile and minimal weight make it ideal for the typical night rides. The waterproof and shock resistant case is designed with a nice anatomical curve just like a whisky flask. This allows the battery to lay flat against your body when stowed in a jersey pocket. Not bulky rectangular box. The 1.20" profile is super slim in your pocket or when mounted to a seat post. Your legs won't rub your battery. We paired this battery up with our super bright HID light head.

Jetlites Direct
Strengths:
Bright, all Jetlites previous design (mounts, IP-68 rated connector)
Weaknesses:
Its quite expensive
Similar Products Used:
Many other Jetlites
Bottom Line:
First of all, the title of the tread needs to be change. Jet no longer makes the 2600. Its been remaned to
'JET BLAST 1000 HID Shadow 3200 LiPoly'
I have tried almost the entire line of Jetlites. From their 6v to 13.2v to 14.8v, from NiMH to Li-ion to Li-PO. Halogen and the old HID Blast.
This 1000 lumens is really one of the best HID out there. Beats NiteRider SlickRock & L&M ARC anytime. The only thing with comparable brightness will be the TrailTech SCMR16 but that light is huge and won't work my MTB helmets.
This is a great improvement from the old 680 lumens HID. The light color is a lot more natural and proper color. You won't even know its a HID because it don't have the white/blue color like most HID do.
But I have to say, the price is a bit steep~

This is a great product and very versatile! It's not just a bike light. We use it for multiple activities and it works great for all. Hiking, biking, kayaking, boating and night fishing. The accessory attachments that are included allow secure placement on me or the various equipment. The battery pak fits well on me or placed in the pack or kayak. Long lasting power. So happy to have it.
Weaknesses:
None that I've found so far.
