JETBEAM E28 Flashlight on Kickstarter with seven light sources and one-hand operation

The JETBEAM E28 Flashlight on Kickstarter refuses to be just another single-purpose light collecting dust in your drawer. With $38,589 pledged from 358 backers and 22 days remaining, this all-in-one EDC tool combines floodlight, spotlight, 365nm UV light, green laser pointer, RGB sidelight with nine modes, and USB-C power bank functionality controlled entirely by intuitive rotary dial and side button.


Created by JETBEAM, a company building high-performance flashlights since 2004 with products used in military, law enforcement, and industrial lighting worldwide, E28 features fast battery-changing design allowing unlimited runtime, Type-C 3A fast charging in five hours, IPX8 waterproofing, and modular extension port accepting clips, bike brackets, or GoPro mounts. Yanko Design called it "The Swiss Army Knife of EDC Flashlights Finally Exists."

Quick Verdict

Who it's for: 


EDC enthusiasts wanting one flashlight replacing seven separate tools, outdoor adventurers needing multiple light types without carrying bulk, urban explorers requiring UV for authentication, presenters wanting integrated laser pointer, and anyone tired of choosing between flood or spot beam flashlights.


Main strengths:


  • Seven light sources (floodlight, spotlight, 365nm UV, green laser pointer, RGB sidelight with nine modes, power bank) in one-hand rotary dial operation

  • Fast battery-changing system allowing instant swap in seconds for unlimited runtime without waiting for charging

  • Type-C 3A fast charging with dynamic battery indicator showing real-time power levels

  • Proven creator (JETBEAM) with 20-year flashlight manufacturing history and products trusted in military and law enforcement


Main limitations:


  • Green laser power varies by region (Class I <0.39mW for UK/EU, Class 3R <5mW for US) due to safety compliance

  • Multiple functions create learning curve for new users accustomed to simple on/off flashlights


Bottom line: The JETBEAM E28 Flashlight on Kickstarter brilliantly consolidates multiple light tools into genuinely usable single device. JETBEAM's 20-year manufacturing expertise eliminates typical crowdfunding risk, while rotary dial control makes accessing seven light sources actually intuitive.


Why Your EDC Became a Tool Circus


There are too many flashlights out there. Choosing one became ridiculously difficult.

Floodlight for close work? Buy one. Spotlight for distance? Buy another. UV for authentication? Third flashlight. Laser pointer? Fourth purchase. Sidelight for camping? Fifth device. Power bank? Sixth gadget.


Your EDC setup becomes a circus competing for pocket space. You leave half home because carrying seven flashlights is absurd.


The JETBEAM E28 Flashlight ends this madness. JETBEAM listened to backers and created a product you'll actually use daily, with all functions designed for real life.


This is what happens when a company with 20 years of experience pays attention to real user needs and create the ultimate JETBEAM E28 all-in-one EDC flashlight on Kickstarter



Seven Light Sources Controlled By Your Thumb


One-Hand Rotary Dial System


Everything controlled by rotary dial and side button. All under your thumb. Intuitive. Comfortable. Fast.


Rotary dial selects modes: floodlight, spotlight, sidelight, UV light, green laser pointer, and LOCKOUT. That last one cuts all power with single turn, preventing accidental activation in bags.

Side button controls ON/OFF, output levels, and RGB/UV/laser selection.


Physical Controls You Can Feel


No smartphone interface requiring three taps. Physical controls you operate by feel in complete darkness. Muscle memory develops fast. Within days, you're switching modes without thought.

That's the difference between "technically multifunction" and "actually usable multifunction."


Flood and Spot Beams Without Compromise


Near and Far Coverage


Dual front light covers near to far. Easy swap with dial plate.


Floodlight spreads wide illumination for close tasks. Working under hood? Setting up camp? Flood beam lights everything within arm's reach without blinding hotspots.


Spotlight throws concentrated beam for distance. Hiking at night? Identifying threats? Spot beam reaches where flood can't touch.


Why You Need Both


Most flashlights force you to choose. Flood OR spot. Pick your priority.


The JETBEAM E28 Flashlight on Kickstarter gives you both. Instant switching. Match the beam to the task.


UV Light and Green Laser Add Real Utility


365nm UV for Detection


UV isn't a gimmick. Check currency authentication. Detect pet stains. Find scorpions camping. Verify security features. Spot fluid leaks under vehicles.


365nm wavelength provides strong fluorescence response. Crystal clear mineral glass delivers clean UV output.


Green Laser for Presentations


Green laser pointer means presentations don't require separate hardware. Point at distant objects. Signal across distances. Mark targets for groups.


Laser power varies by region for safety. UK/EU receive Class I (<0.39mW). US gets Class 3R (<5mW). JETBEAM ensures compliant version for your location.


RGB Sidelight and Fast Battery Swap


Nine lighting modes allow signal, warning, and ambient use. Red flashing for emergency. Green for night vision. Blue strobe for attention. Rainbow for ambiance.


RGB sidelight transforms E28 into omnidirectional lantern. Hang in tent. Place on table. Mount on bike. 360-degree illumination.


Fast battery-changing makes unlimited runtime possible. Unlock, press, dump batteries in seconds. Pop fresh cells. Back to full power instantly.


No waiting for charging. Just spare batteries and seconds of downtime. This is what serious flashlight users demand.


Type-C Charging and Power Bank


Type-C fast charging with 3A current fully charges in five hours. Dynamic indicator shows real-time power: red below 10%, orange 10-34%, green 35-95%, constant green above 95%.


Charging port is waterproof even without rubber cover (IPX8 rating). Cover just prevents dust entry.


Power bank charges smartphone when needed. As phones become battery-hungry, one daily charge isn't enough. E28 provides emergency power.


Modular Extension and 20-Year Expertise


Extension port accepts included clip, bike bracket, or GoPro bracket. Pocket clip for EDC. Bike bracket for cycling. GoPro mount for helmet. One flashlight, multiple deployment options.

Since 2004, JETBEAM focused exclusively on high-performance flashlights used in military, law enforcement, industrial lighting, aviation, and marine. In USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan, JETBEAM is regarded as leading mid-to-high end flashlight brand.


This isn't a startup. It's an established manufacturer with two decades of experience and proven Kickstarter delivery. Repeat creators who've fulfilled previous campaigns.


Yanko Design declared: "The Swiss Army Knife of EDC Flashlights Finally Exists." Third-party validation recognizing practical integration.


How JETBEAM E28 Flashlight on Kickstarter Destroys Single-Purpose Options


Standard EDC flashlights ($30-$80) provide single beam with basic operation. UV flashlights ($20-$50) offer only ultraviolet. Laser pointers ($15-$40) provide pointing but zero light. Power banks ($25-$60) charge but offer no lighting. Bike lights ($30-$70) mount handlebars but lack versatility. The JETBEAM E28 all-in-one EDC Flashlight combines floodlight, spotlight, 365nm UV, green laser, RGB sidelight with nine modes, power bank, fast battery swap, Type-C charging, IPX8 waterproofing, and modular mounting from proven 20-year manufacturer. Seven specialized tools consolidated into one device you'll actually carry daily.
