1 when placing an order one can write a message to seller , this is the place for a message with BLF username (just say something like “Hi Jaxman, order from BLF user XXX”
2 Nice eh ?
3 first (or actually second ) things first.
For me the mini C8 and X1 are highly interesting but let’s see how this goes for Jaxman first
Teacher, nope send a message with the order on AliExpress (during checkout there is an optional message box , it is there one says BLF name: XXX, not here on BLF
Thanks for answering question about colors!
George, it has not come up but has in the thread where Jaxman introduced themselves:
Ok I understand that the colors were not colors, that’s why I put it I quotation marks but when I click on one or the other the picture doesn’t change
Thanks for the explanation about the differences, I couldn’t tell because the picture doesn’t change
Edit to add …ok I think the link is bad for me because when I go to Ali site and search for Jaxman z1 host for Blf the color boxes work, last time I tried the link I just got a white screen
The Miller: in case more Jaxman lights will be sold as hosts to BLF members, something for them to sort out: I have a mini-C8 from them, and mine came with a white led centering ring that is too small: it does not center the led. They fixed that with a dot of glue under the centering piece, but that is a pain once you opened the light up (sorry I did that ). Without a proper centering piece I can tell you it is a nightmare to,correctly focus the led in this light! They mention upcoming black centering pieces, and I hope those are tailor-made for this mini-C8.
I have the ability to 3D print custom centering rings if you have the measurements you need. Or I can send you the CAD files and you can print it locally if you have access to a printer. A lot of libraries are getting them now and sometimes someone on Craigslist will offer the service.
It has saved me SOOO much headache since I starting printing my own rings.
OK, good deal.
Because I will be “unable” to limit myself to only one host, plus I have to make sure I have enough spare parts, etc., etc. :person_facepalming: … :money_mouth_face:
Hmmmmm, may have to get a loan anyway.
Since Jaxman makes the production model available with XHP50, anyone know if an XHP70 would work in this? Could it be driven hard enough to handle the heat? Or what would be the disadvantage to XHP70 in this?
Took the liberty to pm all those on the original interest list.
Hmm the threading of the zooming part is very nice ans tight, yet comparing the heatpath of a Convoy L6 or TF S70 with t and the Z1 is not designed to take away massive amounts of heat.
The L6 and S70 do get hot so I imagine running a Z1 XHP70 while pushing the emitters very hard could not be the wisest of things to do for a long period of time.
But as most hotrods do not run for extensive periods a XHP70 Z1 gives one a wow factor light and heavy blast for sure and on a lower then hard driven mode I imagine also an useful zoomie. But others may chime in here
