Great price! *semi groupbuy* Jaxman Z1 host

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 ? :wink:

3 first (or actually second :slight_smile: ) things first.
For me the mini C8 and X1 are highly interesting but let’s see how this goes for Jaxman first :wink:

Well I ordered one with extension tube
Thanks Jaxman!
This must become a nice light :wink: (oh the pressure :smiley: )

G'Day The Miller,

Any chance of also having the Jaxman stock lights (including the Z1) available for purchase at a "special" BLF price?

Thank you Very Much,

George

When I add to cart it said pick a color, but when I hit the choice nothing happens
What is the difference in the 2 “colors” :expressionless:

  • 1. Got it, Send Jaxman a PM here on BLF before placing order.
  • 2. Very nice indeed!!! :+1:
  • 3. Understood completely. :+1: … :slight_smile:

Thank you ’The Miller’ for your efforts and a Huge “Thank You” to ’Jaxman’ for allowing this. :+1:

For sure. Glad he’s trying the host thing with the Z1, but I’d love to try out the mini C8!

It is not a color.
It is for two different hosts.
One with a battery extension and one without.

Notice the price difference when you click on each one and look at the picture.

It plainly shows one does not have the battery extension. It has a “RED X” across it and says it is “not included”.

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 :wink:

Thanks for answering question about colors!

George, it has not come up but has in the thread where Jaxman introduced themselves:

OK, thanks for clarifying that The Miller; now………I really do understand. :wink:

Your welcome, glad to answer one that I knew for sure…… :wink: … :+1:

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 :wink: ). 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.

Thanks Djozz.
We’ll see how this Z1 goes and if it is worth the trouble for Jaxman.
If so the X1 would be a logical host to follow up with.

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.

Bought one with the extension tube also a 20mm driver/ 3D XHP50. Now got to wait ages for them all to be delivered from China! :frowning:

Nice mattjik!

I thought this would go a bit faster then just the two hosts ordered now. Maybe I should pm the people on the interest list of the closed topic?

The Miller, is there a time limit on this?

If so I’ll go ahead and get my order in, otherwise I am going to wait a couple of days till I get paid. :money_mouth_face:

Just checking. :wink:

AFAIK no time limit and I would not want you to take a loan for a host :wink:

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. :wink: :wink:

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 :wink:
