Clone of On The Road M3 ~$13

Your welcome, glad the video helps clarify the UI a little.
Yes, it is like crescendo, but a blink would be nice. The only control over the ramping is a single click to stop it, and it is a little hard to stop it exactly where you want it. A lower level low would be great too and shortcuts like olight, but for the $$ I’m not complaining.

But does the S1R Baton still has long press ON, single click OFF like the other Olights I mentioned? :rage:

.

That’s EXACTLY how the Thrunite TC20 works…

But it’s also single click ON and single click OFF! :+1: It’s perfect! Luv it!!

The S1R has single click for ON and it will get ON on the last used mode.
When ON press and hold to cycle throught L>M>H.
To access ML its press and hold from OFF.
To access Turbo 1 (600lm) it’s a double click from ON or OFF and to access Turbo 2 (900lm) it is another double click when already on Turbo 1.
To get back from T2 to T1 its a double click.
To get to the regular modes, from T1 or T2, it’s just a press and hold, and it will cycle again through L>M>H :wink:
To lock the light, it’s a long press and hold (the light will turn ON in ML, and then shuts OFF. The switch will become red everytime it is pressed while locked!)

Despite I preferred to always start on Low, the possibility to start on ML is a very big plus. :slight_smile:

So is OFF also a single click?

It is, yes, beam0 :wink: Forgot to mention that :person_facepalming:

I thought this flashlight was €8.21318 (ie 8 euro 21 cent, I thought all decimal point was just conversion)
I tried to order but I think the payment failed.

Now I look at the dollar price and it says $9,999 (ie 10 thousand dollars !)

What the hell! Is this some kinda scam ?

I seriously hope they did not try to charge me $10k for a flashlight.

Since China is celebrating New Year, everything is shut down until the end of the February. Aliexpress sellers are not working, too. In order to stop people from making orders that won’t be fulfilled in at least 10-15 days, some sellers change all prices to some insane amounts or set all items to out of stock.

The misunderstanding is that where I come from, the decimal point is used to denote cent.

So €8.21 = 8 euro 21 cent
€8,213.00 = 8 thousand two hundred and thirteen euro, zero cent

But apparently they use different separators in different countries…which seems dumb/confusing.

So I thought this $10k flashlight was €8.21 and tried to order :person_facepalming:
All the comments were saying it was about $10 so it seemed right :person_facepalming:

I didn’t actualy look at decimal separator knowing why the price was like that. And yes, it’s a locale thing. In my country we use decimal comma, and it appears that most of the (civilised) world uses decimal point. Since I’m into programming, I have my brain wired to use decimal point. As a result, I have a really hard time reading numbers in some local arbitrary format, so I understand you completely.

It was a dumb mistake on my part … I was just ordering quickly and my brain saw €8 + change.
Gearbest, Banggood etc use the separators I am familiar with so it didn’t even cross my mind to check this.

I guess they change to $9,999 instead of ‘out of stock’ because they figure nobody would be dumb enough to order at that price …. but I proved them wrong :person_facepalming:

Oh well

But maybe they’re hoping someone does, and sends payment :money_mouth_face:

OK so Olight made their UI perfect.

That’s EXACTLY the same as the UI of Thrunite TC20, (except the Thrunite only has 1 turbo)
Best UI there is. I wish all my lights had this.

I got my v2 of the Jaxmnve M3 in today. On one hand and I’m glad the strobe is no longer part main cycle. On the other hand this new third level they added was in between the existing middle and high levels. :person_facepalming:

They came so close to getting the UI right, but just missed it.

The v1 has 0.39A and 1.33A.
The v2 has 0.39A, 0.65A and 1.33A.

It’s kind of a waste of a level. It needs a 0.04A, 0.39A and 1.33A to have 3 well spaced levels. (0.04A is what I measured on the lowest part of the ramping)

I’m disappointed, but at least it’s a little better than the older version.

I agree, the spacing is bad (too close together) and not a low enough low.

OK guys. Sad news. Seems like the seller doubled the price of the Jaxmnve M3.
Can anyone recommend other similar light with similar parameters (size, USB charging, batt included) under USD 15?

They didn’t double the price. $25.70 is the normal price. You just have to wait for it to go on sale again. $13 was the sale price.

There is no other lights similar for such a low price.

The OTR U16 is a little bigger and can sometimes be bought for $20 on sale which is not often.

Thanks for making it clear, Jason. :+1:
Just checked it out again and voila, they lowered the price down to the USD 13,60. :smiley:

Hi all, does it have AR coated glass lens?. Anyone measured the lens diameter and thikness?

No AR coating.

The lens diameter is a little bit smaller than the standard 21mm lens size for a typical 18650 cigar sized light like a Convoy S2+.

So if you wanted to add an AR lens you need to find one that was no bigger than 20mm.

There is 20mm AR coated glas but what thikness?
