a new EDC light of 2017- JAXMAN E2L

I would love to see a 1x26650 version of the Jaxman E2L using Nichia 219B emitters.

I'd be up for a mule, as well.

Ok, thanks. That’s what it looks like to me, too.

If (note the “if”) that is the case, then, modding (e.g., replacing the emitters with some other emitter) would only encounter the glue because of having to somehow getting the MCPCB unglued from the shelf?

Maybe instead of doing that, could the emitters be reflowed “in place”? I have done that in the past with some lights (Nitecore) using a heat gun. They weren’t triples though…

26650+Nichia= :+1:

How do you specify tint on the order? I don’t see somewhere to request that?

Thanks,
Jim

EDIT: NVM I see it now.

That, iirr.

I mentioned… probably in this thread, not sure… that it looks like plain ol’ Fujik, not thermal-epoxy, so it’d be the typische rubbery goop that’s often used in lieu of actual thermal paste.

Once someone gets a light and dissects it, we’ll know for sure.

Wonderfully thick chunk o’ copper from the looks in the pic, so you could probably just shave right through it with an Xacto™ blade.

That should go perfectly well, especially with a heatgun. The emitters may wait to reflow until the entire head has heated up enough (but the driver is removed anyway I suppose), but that will not have been different with the Nitecore.

113mm, really, whose pocket does that fit in?

not mine

can you please try to make something using 18650, length 90mm or less?

DQG did it, but i had 2 of them and they both broke

i’m sure it;s very nice but 90mm or less, please

If you haven't ordered yet, you may want to check with the OP to see if the following offer from post 75 still stands. If not, your reflow in head idea sounds promising. It would be hard to pry out the MCPCB from inside a head on a fixed shelf without causing some damage.

EDIT: If there is a part of the MCPCB exposed over a hole in the shelf, you can probably push the MCPCB up. It will likely bend the MCPCB, but they can sometimes be reflattened or replaced at not too much cost.

can anyone make < 90mm 18650 that won’t break?

wle

Can anyone make ANYTHING that won’t break?

I know people that could break a 90mm long bar of 25mm diameter Titanium bar stock…

Are you going to stalk every tube 18650 light thread with your request ?
I, for one, love compact tube light 18650 but you will not make a supplier create a flashlight just for you…

stalking - sure, what manufacturer wouldn’t covet a guaranteed sale of 1 entire unit? :slight_smile:

the DQGs did not break due to me trying to break them

wle

Short answer…… Nope. :wink:
I taught school for almost 30 years, I had some Jr High kids that could no doubt have “broken” a superbly heat treated steel brick if given just a bit of time…… :person_facepalming:
It always utterly amazed me at how easily they could tear something up that would have lasted me a lifetime.
And they were not doing it on purpose either………… :person_facepalming:

I think the popular S2+ is 118mm.

120.7mm on the A6, 118.8 on the S2+

The Atomic Beam people!

Hell, you can deep-fry that sucker!


:stuck_out_tongue:

And later, they deep-fry the Humvee!

Well whoever hit my rude button, sorry first and thank you second, you don’t know rude…!

Got the E2L today, have pictures but haven’t uploaded them yet and don’t know if I want to waste my time.

First I’ll tell you the stainless bezel is not glued,
I took it off with my hand, it has glass and gitd ring, gave it a couple taps on the desk to see if that optic would just maybe drop out but no, didn’t really expect it to really,

It legos with the regular E2 and it legos with the S2 and others same Jax threads but I was using a flat top so it didn’t fire with the S2+ tube and there’s a bit of space with the convoy tube, not ugly but maybe button top or drop it a thread,
Real nice machining of course, that’s Jaxman not sloppy.
I don’t know, what I do know is I’m not thrilled and see a rebuild for sure.

I watched that vid on youtube on this new triple and already new and expected that stainless bezel (to you builders you know what I’m saying, the angle cut on the bezel reflects into the beam, easy fix though) was going to be a problem issue, heck you can see it in the pictures the OP pics, reflects in the beam horribly,
The head looks very nice compared to the older E2 head a bit smaller head and light overall.
I’ll post pics if asked because your the gang but honestly there’s nothing to see that I can ’t say

Edit: It is priced exactly right, seemed to have forget this is only 900lm but really is just right for this light, the light grows on you once you understand what kind of light it is, might need a rebuild, but what doesn’t get rebuilt… nothing in my world, well M43 only changed lenses.

Thought I’d clarify so not to give a completely wrong first immediate impression here of this new light,
First I am accustomed to a different sort of triple I guess, those stainless bezels can always be an issue or sometimes not, depends, I got warm white E2L
So what did I grab to do my first comparison a S3 with a H17F 3A + DD Carclo Lens 10507 XP-L HI 3000K so this is not really what you’d want to white wall with first off and it’s not dark yet, so should hold my horses.
The warm white is warm, to the 3K I’m guessing maybe 4K…?
And this is a different lens than the carlco so I believe, my S3 also had the same bezel issues until I Dremeled out the ID and then I got a nice round beam, this new light is alright, priced right, but when dark gets here that should really make a difference, I can’t rely on white walls to make comments like the former and really be serious, not yet, I want to give this the complete run down and that was knee jerk… by jerk himself… ha

Edit: Light grows on you once you understand what it is meant to be, the lens has me baffled a bit, seems different than what I’ve seen before, that shinny bezel is a bugger, that’s I could see in the vid so not surprised, this light is just about 2mm shorter than a S3 and what is really nice is how Jax got all the branding and perfectly aligned I love that, that is some perfect machine work and branding looks super clean,
