Thanks for your answer, those are great news 
I guess I will have my first Jaxman flashlight 
(my other order, so far, was of LEDs and optics!)
If I understand correctly, reading these 2 answers, the driver will be changed, right?
Now it is “Middle > High” and you want to have a 3 mode (Low> Middle> High), correct?
Do you have any expected date for that change and further commercialization with the 3 modes?
Thanks again 
Yes — if there is going to be a change, can you tell us when that version will be available?
I ordered the version of the Jaxman E3 high CRI, warm Nichia 219c that was in stock as of this date.
I left a note that I wanted to make sure that the body is black and that, if possible, I wanted it to turn on at high, them mid, then, if there is one, low.
A few days later, Jaxman notified me that my order has shipped and that my E3 would turn on at high — exactly what I want — and the next step would be mid. No low.
Ordering was painless and I paid with PP — thank you! I prefer not to use my cc online.
Will there be a newer version? That has been unclear to me all along in this thread. If so, and if there is a worthy improvement, I won’t hesitate to order again.
These lights are well-priced and I want to support Jaxman’s work.
Perfect.
Maybe throw in doubleclick-to-high. No strobe, please please please please please.
The only way to do LVP for any cell is to sniff the voltage at startup to determine when to cut off.
I’m getting LFP cells (3.2V constant) instead of Li.
Cut off alkaleak/NiCd/NiMH at 0.9V as you have, by sniffing no more than 1.6V on startup.
If you sniff 3.xV, it can be Li or LFP, so you can set cut off at 3.0V or 2.9V or whatever you’re comfortable with.
Anything in 2.xV, immediately cut off. Too high for alkaleak/Ni, and way way too low for Li.
Probably 14mm. 15mm is already wider than the cell, and you still need a wall+ledge to hold it.
For an AA light? Wow, I’m impressed!
Unless you have a TARDIS battery-tube. :smiling_imp:
My first Jaxman was the 365nm UV light. I was impressed by its quality and elegance.
So I did not hesitate and got a E2 219c CW. That was a great light too, with very useful modes for real daily use, and of course unparalleled cool white high color rendering. I took it to Acadia National Park for a week-long camping trip. With a diffuser from mtnelectronic it was the best ever tent light. My family had lots of fun playing Uno under it.
When this comes out, I will for sure get one too. Maybe two, one for each color temperature.
My personal preference for modes is low, medium, high with no mode memory. Low 2-5, medium 50-100, and high ~200 for AA, 500-600 for 14500.
One suggestion to you Jaxman is to provide a nice diffuser to go with it. It can turn the light to a very nice and useful lantern. Not the transparent ones but the opaque.
Another suggestion to you Jaxman is to make the host of the new Jaxman E3 available for sale. For this, I believe I speak on behalf of a number of people here who are willing to purchase and try the E3 host for personal use.
Using a 2*1/2 AA NiCd is well within the realm of possibility. 
There was the answer
With a 17mm driver…it will be nice for some mods :smiling_imp:
Yeh, I’m (pleasantly) surprised! Must be a nice thick-walled design.
So any idea when will the new Jaxman E3 be released?
Suggestion for the UI: Sofirn SF36W UI is the best rear clicky flashlight UI I have ever seen.
“click” to turn on or turn off; half “click” to cycle LL (10Lm)→Low(70 Lm)→Medium(353Lm)→High(1000Lm).The flashlight is set with Modes memory function within 2 seconds excluding Strobe.
Hi Jaxman!!
Any new on this light with the 3 mode driver?
Thank you :+1:
hatman, have you received our flashlight already?
If so, is there any possibility to measure the head diameter and height (from the shelf to the threads) internally, please?
Thank you in advance!! :+1:
As Jaded said, and I agree, I am very interested in this host but I would need to get some measures first! I don’t mind getting the whole light and then use what I need, but it would be nice to get the host as a “separate” sell
…unless the ledboard is glued with tons of gooey, like the E2L’s, that case a host version would be nice!
It will not be, according to jaxman :smiling_imp:
BTW, I guess the version being sold currently is not the “final” version as the driver is only 2 modes (according to the product description) and they intend to sell it 3 modes.
This seems a pretty nice host indeed, robust and well made
For AA EDC light, I think it is important to have warm white 4000k hi CRI and moonlight mode less than 0.5 lumens. Don’t want to wake up your kids or wife/husband when you turn it on in the middle of the night.
I think many chinese manufacturers aren’t too fund of moonlight modes. I can understand why, though. In my personal experience moonlight modes can be a bit alienating in the normal rotation for most users because they are so low.
I wouldn’t mind if they don’t include a moonlight mode for a simpler operation, but they should at least have them well spaced out. If they want only three modes something like 10 => 40 => ~200 lumen would be nice, I guess.
The Thrunite T10 is a similar light and has around 0.3 => 10 => 250 lumen, but the jump from 10 to >200 lumen is a bit too high in my opinion. I think the T10’s settings are good for enthusiasts who know what to expect from a light with those modes, but without some setting between 10 and >200 lumen you probably won’t satisfy most needs. Something around ~50 lumen is good enough for a quick walk around the house or dimly lit streets.
With only three modes some compromises have to be made, but I think if in doubt I’d optimize for muggle usage with a light like this. See the popularity of the BLF 348. One of the most popular lights despite its simple operation. I think there’s definitely some demand for a high CRI light with a simple UI.
It looks like Jaxman got some Kodak lanyard leftovers, i have received the same :money_mouth_face:
This looks like a nice light but I wish it offered more light output like the Manner E11,UT-01 and EDC05. I would have jumped on this if that was the case.
