I actually got to test my E2L over the weekend camping, and I must say I was impressed with it. It lit up the trails extremely well. I could hear others as I walked past campsites say “Wow! Look at how bright that flashlight is!” The E2L is my new favorite EDC. Thanks Jaxman for this wonderful light! Let’s hope the E2L will be offered for sale many, many years from now! It’s perfect!
Just a few days later after camping, I received my official Jaxman holsters from AliExpress. They seem to be of good quality. I have one minor quible though. The snap button, on the inside of the holster is exposed. This will scratch up the light after a while. I’d like to suggest in future productions that some kind of cloth cover this exposed part. Lucky I found a solution. Allen’s Fabric Fusion permenant fabric tape. Got it at Michael’s craft store. All I did was cut a piece, insert it inside the holster, and it works wonderfully.
i was reading the description on that site…they warn people of using nichia version on 6 amps…this means for example not using fet driver…what do you think about it?
ok djozz.but the fet driver is with turbo limit…so 45 seconds probably will not damage the torch…not burn the led…or?i wanted this modify…it should be safe no?
A stepdown at 45 seconds (like the BLF-A6 driver) should, just as with the BLF-A6, be ok, even though the power of a triple is high than a single led flashlight. It will be about too hot to touch by then but the flashlight will not damage itself.
Jos , with the jaxman mcpcb the wires got unsoldered once at high temp . I think the pads on the board are pretty small , maybe this could be the issue ?!
I don’t have this issue on others triples and quads …
Setup on e2l is dedomed xp-g2’s s4 with fet driver .
Any idea of the beam distance ?
Jaxman seems to not run every mesurement we are used to read from mean “bigs” , angle, candela, runtime (ansi standards) etc.
It’s understandable as a little compagny producing various iterations of a model in little series, but as a consumer, to compare one model to an other I find some technical data missing…
On the other hand, contact is easy : I contacted Jaxman on Ali and they gave me the precise model of TIR optic of the new “Frosted” E2L version : Carclo 10508.
I would like to know (or have an approximative idea) the loss of beam distance and lumens from “regular TIR” to “Frosted TIR”…
My best wished iteration would be a Frosted Nichia 219C in light gray, they told me its in preparation, to be sold soon, but if this optic with Nichia leads to a, say, 500lm 20m beam distance, I would certainly prefer a regular one…
I think I read the beam distance is only 50M. That’s with clear TIR Optics. I’d say at pitch black darkness I’ve gotten farther then that. @ 900 lumens in complete darkness it lights up pretty good. Floody of course.
50m @900lm is quite short indeed, frosted Nichia would be way less, I said “20m” just like that but it seems probable, very nice specific for interior use (cavern, urbex and so) , but less versatile… I may re-consider my wish to a regular clear Nichia :weary:
