The new Jaxman E3 flashlight comes in the new year

aha, thank you.
Now my city have open the international mail service just now, so now I can arrange shipping as soon as the order is placed.
I would not like to wast others time.

Good morning, if you are in east Asia now.

Those are awesome news, shipping will be even faster :wink:
Thanks for your consideration and for your great work Jaxman!
I am not in East Asia, but a good day/night for you :sunglasses:

I’ve ordered four E3s and they arrive in CONUS in about two weeks.

Highly recommended!

I use NiMHs but I do wish Jaxman would clear up the question of whether or not to use 14500s.

On his site he seems to be saying “yes”; on this forum, he seems to be saying “no.”

I think what is implied is the E3 is more optimized for NiMh usage (it has well-spaced brightness modes). If using 14500 on the E3, the brightness is not well-spaced (low and medium look almost the same brightness. And High is not ‘significantly’ different from Medium when using 14500)

There are old E3 what can use only NiMHs and newer E3 what can use both

The mode spacing with the 14500 is not really working correctly. It was designed with AA in mind. But it is one of the best AA lights out there at the price.

Just arrived :heart_eyes:
Later I will try to take some photos and make some comparisons for those (like me) that need/want some information about measurements, and…stuff!

But right now, I am happy with my first Jaxman flashlight :partying_face:

thanks for your surports. If there is any feeling about it pls kindly tell me.

Wish a good day!

Yesterday I received this flashlight and my first impressions are VERY VERY GOOD! As mentioned previously, this is a flashlight that will act a lot better on Ni-MH than 14500 Li-Ion batteries.

The output levels on Ni-MH are very well spaced (perhaps my most well balanced AA flashlight till this day!)

I opted for the Nichia 5700K version that produces a quite nice (Neutral) White beam. There are no artifacts or tint shifts on the beam.

As for the light and its construction…damn, it’s pretty soft on touch, and breathes quality! At least, this is my impression. Machining is well done, the tube/parts threads are very smooth, as is the knurling.

The tail switch is as normal as other flashlights, but look to the detail that the tailcap has “JAXMAN” written on it :wink: Like!!!

Please note that the “anti-roll” shape on the head will not prevent it from rolling, it will just “delay” the roll. Of course, with a pocket clip installed the light will not roll… LOL About tailstanding, well, it is not completely balanced, but it will tailstand too :wink:

The flashlight arrived with the pocket clip installed, but I opted to take it out and to use a “screwed” in (deep carry) clip. O-rings (stock and spare) are thick.

I didn’t gave up of turning this flashlight into a triple, but…I guess I will buy another one to do that as I want to preserve this as it is!! I honestly like it and being my first Jaxman flashlight, I actually became a fan :sunglasses:

Thanks for this great work :+1:

Despite the Efest 14500 flat top is on the photo, please note that this flashlight only takes button top cells.

thanks for your time.
the E3’s middle mode is realized by PWM, so you can find the strobe.

Yup, I noticed that! But it can only be seen under a camera, naked eye doesn’t see it (well, at least my eyes don’t see it)!!
Again, great work, I love this flashlight :+1:

thanks for appriciation.
we will do our best to make lights.

Hi. I actually created an account so I could comment in this thread. I use Eneloop batteries and prefer warm light, so I’m in the target market for flashlights like this one.

I’ve had a Jaxman M2 in 4300K for about a year and I love it. The two-mode control is wonderfully simple and the modes are nicely spaced. It does everything I need from a larger flashlight and effectively retired my old D-cell incandescent Maglite. I like the 2xAA size and I don’t think they get enough love.

I was very interested in this E3 but the PWM turned me off. I like the extreme battery life of a super low and I appreciate lights that preserve night vision by starting on the lowest setting. Super high can be useful but I rarely use it. The medium setting is right in the sweet spot for me, both for light level and battery life. Having PWM in that mode makes it much less attractive.

If Jaxman releases a version of this in warm color with high CRI and no PWM, I’ll buy a few of them.

hi friend, I had thought that the middle mode is the most seldom to use for most users….
so I set the PWM mode in the middle mode.

I am thinking about it and how to deal…

Thanks for the consideration. My specific interest is in finding warm and/or high CRI lights that offer a great balance of light and run time on NiMH without PWM. Having it start in moonlight mode is an appreciated bonus. High/turbo is usually my least-used mode in this size of flashlight. I like having the option but I don’t always need that much light. When I use the high mode, I don’t usually need it for a long time. At times when I want a lot of light for a longer duration, it would usually be longer than possible with a single AA or AAA anyway. When I want more light, I’ll just reach for a more powerful flashlight like your M2, which can handle bigger outputs for longer.

BTW, I just purchased a second M2 because I like it so much. I also have your AA UV flashlight with filter. My experience with your products has been extremely positive. Seeing you here, taking time to engage with your customers and listen to what the gear community wants, is fantastic. It encourages me to recommend your products to others.

If you figure out how to implement without PWM, make sure you tell people about this feature on your E3 product page. For some people, no PWM is an important feature.

Turned my Jaxman E3 into a triple :blush:
More details here !

Sorry for updating this but, how many versions of Jaxman E3 there are?

Seems the first version is from 2016 and “this version” is from 2018. But any changes on the name, V1 or V2 or something like that. I little bit confusing to find.

The first/old versions of the E3 are not on sale (at least on Jaxman AliExpress store). You can find “copies”, but not the original is not sold anymore.
The new version, is: Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com

There are no changes in the name, but there are changes in the structure of the falshlight as you can see on the post#1 of this thread :wink:

Has anyone replaced the LED on the E3 with an XPL HI? I have been wondering about this, just replacing the the led but keeping the same driver. Would I gain any more output and runtime compared to the nichia? Another thing, does the XPL HI emitter fit in the stock reflector opening?
