a new EDC light of 2017- JAXMAN E2L

Unno, the first one looked nice, the second one kinda blue.

Need to find a white wall and maybe shine both side-by-side (hotspot+spill). The camera can white-balance itself between individual shots…

The MT-G2 looks brighter, so color differences in the pic will shrink.

I think I’m going to go for the 1A tints. It’s most likely going to deliver the truer whites I’m looking for. I suppose warmer yellow tints aren’t to my liking. I guess not all 3C tints are exactly the same?

Unno. If these are all TIRs in the E2L, they should do a much better job mixing colors than a reflector would. Maybe you lost the tint-lottery, no idea.

First time I got my 4C tint in an S2+, it took me a while to get used to it, but I kinda grew to like it. Still, the “4300K-4500K” E2 in a C8 is about my favorite tint, short of a Nichia.

Now? Don’t think I’d touch a CW light unless it were with the intention of doing an emitter-swap. Just looks “blue” to me…

Update I was able to swap the two 5000K Neutral White 3C E2L models for the 1A 6500K Cool Whites and I am totally loving it! Cool White is definitely for me! Love the E2L! To my eyes it’s a perfect white. The colors look great and I do not notice any blue tint at all! Goodbye SK98, hello E2L!

Feedback to Jaxman

I bought two of these from mtnelectronics.com. I love the size, and the output. They do better than my custom SK98’s and I’ve spent nearly double the price of the E2L in mods. This is my first Jaxman product I’ve owned. Thank you Jaxman for this incredible, high quality, impressive little light! I love the 1A 6500K version. I don’t even notice or see any blue tint, and the white is so pure. I love it!

My light-grey E2L 18500 tubes arrived today. Guess I’ll see tonight if the color matches better than the dark grey! :stuck_out_tongue:

It will FL2, he doesn’t screw up on his ano, I’m assuming your using this 500 tube with the original E2L light grey ano, if so no issues at all… it will be a perfect match.

The percentage isn’t about the size of your photo T18, it’s about the size of the viewer’s screen. So if I’m looking at it on a 24” monitor vs someone looking at it on their phone, it still fits. :wink:

So, my monitor does 1920 x 1080, anything larger than that and it’s a larger picture than my screen, like a 2356 width would overlap and I couldn’t see the entire image without scrolling. If you use 100% then the image automatically fits my window that I have open on my screen. And if I go to a laptop that has a 1440 width, it’s still gonna show according to my screen, likewise my wife’s smart phone would still have the image fully viewed on this page.

If you want the image to not take up the entire width of this page from BLF, use something like 50% or 30%, that will keep the image proportionately small no matter what device it’s being viewed on.

At the same time, you can include a full sized 5616 x 3648 image when you post it here, but the 100% option will make it fit the screen. Then if you also post the full size Image in the bottom row in that posting window, you can right click on an image and view it in a new window, then you’ll be able to view it actual size in the new window for a close-up view. :wink:

Ah, Yes precisely thank you Dale, got it straight from the master, but wondering if the fella will return to read that info… ha ha
Thanks Dale

Edit: I think it was info from you when talking about photography one time that I may have got the idea that saving and cropping all my pics into 1024x768 was a good middle of the road for posting here, is that correct Dale
Edit 2: Wow, had to re-read that a couple times, not that it’s complicated but I didn’t know all that, that is very interesting stuff, so double thanks and I cut and posted it in my Book of Dale Info… seriously a complete PDF size Book with links to your posted project last entry a Ti X6 mod you name it, valuable stuff as I see it, there’s others as well Tom E, KB1428, The Masters…

Emailed Rey by the way about that maybe extra pill, your light is haunting me… :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you for that tutorial, I appreciate it! You rock!

You bet friend, but please read also the post by Dale, it explains one of my statements that was not accurate, and Dale knows exactly the what, how, and why posting pics in that box does what it does and why, his info is exact, I learned something today also, never ends here. Happy to help

Edit: That is DB Custom sorry, not just Dale, but the “D” part anyhow… ha ha… oh brother… :laughing:

Will do, thank you!

Helping you rack up a post count as well, no need to reply … LOL

Wow they Nichia 219B versions available if anyone has not seen this already!

E2L Nichia 219B AliExpress

There are also colored versions of the E2L. Blue, green, red, and yelloworange.

Sweet! More options! I just purchased a pair of the holsters for the E2L, but I am not sure why AliExpress/Jaxman store does not have PayPal as a payment option.

Thank you for sharing about people who destroy stuff. Very funny.

I’ve being playing with my E2L for 2 months now. It has become my favorite EDC light, on par to my Zebralight H52F.

It feels very solid in my hand. I don’t have such feeling with some other lights with similar shape. TBH I don’t know exactly why.

Its beam is very bright and floody. And I can tell it’s very efficient since it doesn’t get hot as easily as my Zebralight SC63w.

I chose a very simple UI: L~~M~~>H, it’s just what I need and in the right order.

I would recommend this light to anyone who is into flashlight or just want a solid tool.

I actually got to test my E2L over the weekend camping, and I must say I was impressed with it. It lit up the trails extremely well. I could hear others as I walked past campsites say “Wow! Look at how bright that flashlight is!” The E2L is my new favorite EDC. Thanks Jaxman for this wonderful light! Let’s hope the E2L will be offered for sale many, many years from now! It’s perfect!
