a new EDC light of 2017- JAXMAN E2L

Yeah, but the idea here is to help manufacturers educate the folks they hire to build the flashlights — since we can’t talk with the builders directly.

And sometimes the manufacturers miss little things and we early adopters mention them. So I’m suggesting too much thermal goop as worth checking on.

It’d help to know what’s “special” about the thermal goop they’re using, and to hear that they understand how very little of it ought to be used.

Just, you know, nitpicking.

C’mon, is it too much for a guy to ask for his Nichia and shorty tube? :wink:

I do hope it’s silicon based. I spent several hours removing a LED star epoxied down to a light once, tried heat, freezing, and enough prying that I eventually split the star into 2 separate halves, both still epoxied down.

Yeah, that’s one of those situations where you just Dremel out the damned thing.

Aw, shucks. They designed it to be uninteresting to folks like us.
What, they can’t imagine a better emitter coming along anytime, ever, that we’d like to swap in??

OR, they wish to ensure the quality of their product in order to have a decent warranty. :wink:

Hm. Well, it’d be nice if they’d offer one that’s not glued down, for those of us who expect the improvements in emitters to continue over coming years.

I can see that they’d rather sell entire flashlights as new emitters come along.

hi dears,

If anyone need we use a silicon paste instead of the glue, we sure can do it for you .that is too easy .
but we will do it only our buyer reqire it.
To use a silicon paste is more easy and low cost than now.

We need proper thermal paste... not silicon.

They could end up being from the “gold ones”…——Dear what means of it?

tell me what,the size or the components,dear.

In my opinion,most users will not dissemble a flashlight and change the Lamps by themself.

You are right, for most users it is good to fix everything in place, it makes the flashlight more robust when it is dropped.

But here at BLF we are a bit different, usually we try to disassemble a flashlight even before switching it on :partying_face:
And only seldom we are happy with the leds, we want to be able to change them without damaging the flashlight.

It is very forthcoming that you are prepared to make a version of this flashlight without glue but normal thermal paste, thanks for that!

hi dear, if so, I would rather sell the whole set of parts to you ,not a completed light……

Please do so!

Parts would need to be packaged so that delicate parts like reflector isn’t scratched. This might seem stupid to mention but we’ve had manufacturers send parts all in a pile and reflector is ruined :open_mouth:

Selling the host would be a good alternative also.
TIR is standard 10507 that we can supply easily, as well as triple MCPCB from Noctigon or whatever and driver will be replaced anyway for FET and so on…
Yeah, a host option would be great :slight_smile:

Do we smell a Group Buy?

I’m in for a host too (everything except driver and led lamps) ! Please !!!

It’ll have to include the MCPCB though.
