a new EDC light of 2017- JAXMAN E2L

Nice pics T18, thank you for sharing them. :+1:

Looks like all the discussion about to much “goop” thankfully turned out to be much speculation about nothing. :wink:

Thank you Teacher, yes and the OP’s pic didn’t help with the big glob of goop and controversy that followed,
As I was trying to say back when all heck broke out over glue, I know Jax and they wouldn’t glue like we have seen in some other lights seriously glued. Here’s my proof of what I said, got dismissed so…. whatever… haha
This board is though held down with thermal adhesive, I think I’ve said this already, and it’s tough stuff and not easy to lift without doing some big damage, but there is a technique to be successful, sort of what I was attempting to show here, should be sort of visually apparent what I’m talking about, and for many it’s nothing new of course, so might have wasted a bunch of time, however flip side I’ve been getting a lot of PMs asking how to remove that bezel,
I really don’t want to say that if you don’t know how to remove just the bezel that maybe you shouldn’t be thinking about removing it because it gets a bit more difficult from there with how well pressed the optic are, if not approached with some thought you’ll break the pegs off the posts in nothing flat, they are really pressed in tight, so only trying to helpful not know it all and prevent someone from doing what they might do if not looking at this from the right angle, or left. Probably a waste of time,

Edit: one last add here, this is really one of the better assembly’s I’ve seen frankly and the description of what your buying here is precisely what your going to get, nothing less and nothing more, great price for what your buying, would I buy another? No, I’d buy the host x 10…

Awwwww! They’re so cute before Satan gets their souls…

thanks.

Looking forward to the Nichia version of this light.

Ha Ha Lightbringer, nut… Satan gets my goat… Oh know,

And thank you Evgeniy or your welcome, both, and to all who have sent PMs, thank you also,

No I do not believe the optic is glued at all, it may have some thermal adhesive that might have squeezed up through the boards holes onto the bottom of the pegs, maybe, but that wouldn’t be your problem either, it is just a really solid assembly and the optics pegs are pressed into the boards holes very very tight, so gently with the right kind of tool pry up at each peg and just keep gently prying circularly until you feel it break loose,
I went around maybe 5 times applying gentle pressure on each peg I didn’t know either at first what was the hang up but I also had a spare carclo 10507 in case I broke the lens and used what looks like a small curved metal spatula thing, but slight pry’s on the posts keeps it aligned evenly and won’t tweak one side to much and break the peg, it is tight for sure, good luck and you know you can make a good bezel tool out of needle nose pliers and some heat shrink tubing, I ground off the needle nose gripping so it was smooth and then but shrink tubing 2 layers actually since it was thin stuff and the rubber gives a good grip on those bezels and is also easier to see than trying to twist those off with your hands, or use a rubber pickle jar lid remover thingy, ha ha, lots of odd ball tools, but patience and calm is the trick most the time.

LMAO!!!


OMG! Is he Stoned or what!

What ya growing in the Garden there T18???

Just thought I’d sneak up on him with this new light and see if he had any kling-ons, he spooks easy, thought I was thinking something else.

Spooks easy, I bet! :+1: Kling on’s? Before or after you scared the chit out of him! :smiley:

He so cute!!! :beer:

Hello, do you think this lamp would be a good headlamp? Maybe better than skilhunt h03 for using as floody headlamp??

I don’t think the stock optic is very floody. I’m considering switching it when I make some other changes.

Here are some comparison shots vs a Convoy S2+ 8x7135 16ft/10m from a wall.

Is there PWM on this stock light ?.
Seems L & M has it.
If it has,…Any idea what Hz?.
Thanks.

Thanks for thosepics T18, gives a good overview of this light!

Your very welcome The Miller, yes some previously talked about non issues needed to be clearly put to rest and glad to have been able to do so. Thanks again.

GOT MILK?

These are not the best pics but thought I’d throw them up here anyhow, used a Convoy grey 18350 tube with the E2L head and switch and it fits and works, just thought I’d mention it.
And yes I did, I mucked up a LED, told you that board was tough to get out, so it’s only one, get the hot air out, might mention also the retainer is a little whatever you call it, bear… thin and the pocket for the driver is not very deep so it’s sort of difficult to get aligned and get the retainer on and centered, nothing unusual. Makes a nice pocket triple though, so once I change the driver and LED’s I can put that quad on the shelf.



30 kHz.

Got mine today. It’s a very nicely finished light and surprisingly short compared to other similar 18650 lights (S2+, E2, A6).

Here’s some measurements from the “warm yellow” version.

Slightly green tint in the middle of the beam but not too distracting, since the average tint is quite neutral. The outermost edge has a bit of a blue tint (relative to hotspot).

Since the light uses PWM (30 kHz) on low and mid, there’s no tint shift in different outputs.

How much shorter is it vs an s2+?

S2+ 117.16mm
E2L 114.17mm
E2L with Convoy 18350 tube, 80mm
