Clone of On The Road M3 ~$13

Thanks for your answers.

Ya 1x or 2x would be too cold for me and 5c (3800-4000k) probably too warm.

This is one reason this JAXMNVE M3 appeals to me, it has NW 3C which should be around 5000k

It does not register a double click from off. It sees it as 2 seperate clicks.

So when starting in ramping it begins with LOW by default, but if a specific level was memorized it starts on that memorized level, correct?

You are correct in your assumption.

In Narsil you can easily reverse direction if you want. With this jaxmnve you just have to let it do what it wants.

So double click from off does nothing, from what I can tell.

Would’ve been real nice if they made it enter ramping with a double click from off - for quick access to your desired (memorized) level.

You can? Where?

I only see it for $18 more.

Yes

You misunderstand.

A double click from off turns it on at the last used level then advances it to the next level.

Once you leave the ramping mode, the memory is lost. It memories every level. If you turn it off in strobe, it comes on in strobe. If you turn it off while it’s ramping, it turns on and continues ramping.

Beam0, aren’t these questions moot since there appears to be a new UI and you can’t buy the old ones any more?

No, the new UI only changed the 3-mode group from MED-HIGH-STROBE to LOW-MED-HIGH, ramping should still be the same.

New UI:

Post #923 - scroll down about halfway - it’s next to the Convoy L6’s:

So the “ramping memory” comes on at the level you stopped ramping at, but doesn’t stay there? It just starts ramping again from that point?

If that’s what it does then ramping memory on this is pretty useless.

Then how is there ramping memory?

It’s not “ramping memory”, it’s memory in general.
You have to turn the light off while in ramping mode, then it will turn on at the same level it was turned off at.

Your missing the details. I didn’t say it was stopped. I said the light was turned off while it was still going up and down. Whatever the light is doing when it’s turned off, it continues doing when turned back on.

If it’s in the ramping mode and stopped at a certain level and you turn it off, it will turn back on at that same certain level.

Does that make sense?

As it was said before, the ramping feature of this light is not very good. I would much prefer a simple low, med, high. Like 10 lumen, 150 lumen and 500 lumen. That’s all you need. Right now it’s like 150 lumen and 500 lumen. It could use a lower level.

Yes it does, sounds like it memorizes the ramping level you stopped at, but confused because you wrote this:

:person_facepalming:

So for example lets say you are in ramping and stop by a single click, then press and hold .5 second to turn off -
then when you press and hold .5 second to turn back on, it will come on at the level where you previously stopped the ramping?

.

You answered earlier that you cannot enter ramping mode with a double click from off, so what mode does it enter “at the last used level” with a double click from off?

.

It’s ok if you don’t want to answer more, If I’m still confused I won’t ask about it anymore, I’ll just find out how it works when it arrives. :slight_smile:

Sounds like the upgraded UI will have that lower mode. L-M-H

Both of my quotes are true. They do not contradict each other.

If you are not in ramping mode, then how can you turn the light off in ramping mode?

If your not in ramping mode, then that means you are either at the low, high or strobe level. So if it’s low and you turn the light off, it will turn back on in low.

Btw, it won’t turn on by a press and hold. Turn on is a single click. It’s turn off that is a press and hold.

Do you know what I mean by “last used level”? It is whatever you were in when you turned it off.

Let’s say you were on low, then turned it off. A double click is just 2 clicks. So the first click turns it on in low and the second click switches it to high.

Let’s say you were on high, then turned it off. A double click is just 2 clicks. So the first click turns it on in high and the second click switches it to strobe.

I’ll make a video of it showing the modes and memory functions.

Despite JasonWW has been answering some questions about the UI (thanks Jason!), I will reply to the questions you placed directly to me:

I meant that the range between Top and Bottom is not “tremendous”. In some lights with ramping mode (Emisar D4, Sofirn SP32A, aand maybe BLF Q8 (don’t have one to be 100%)) the lowest output is super low, like a moonlight or a firefly level, and the highest output is really bright.
On this Jaxmnve M3, that difference isn’t astonishing! The lowest mode isn’t “moonlight” and the highest isn’t turbo! That is why I said it is a “no-no” : no moonlight, no turbo :wink:

Yup, that’s it! It doesn’t blink and it doesn’t stop when it reaches the top or the bottom. So, that way, you don’t get a warning of when you get top nor bottom! Also, if it starts ramping up or down, it won’t stop until you press the switch to stop it.
Like I mentioned above, this light is not like the Emisar D4 or the Sofirn SP32A (or others) that have the “blinks” and that stop ramping when reaching the top or bottom limit!

I guess JasonWW has already answered to these questions, so I won’t reply as I might create confusion :wink:
But, when turned OFF, this light has memory for ALL the levels or modes. So it will even turn ON in strobe if that was the last used mode!

Like I said before, and also agreeing with the levels that JasonWW mentioned above, I guess the new UI (L-M-H) will be much more user friendly and useful :slight_smile:
