I think Nichia 219c as the only option in warm / neutral is fine. Would be nice to have one brand which consistently has Nichia options. Wouldn’t mind if they dropped all Cree emitters except in throwers. The 219c seems good enough to make high CRI the default for most floody EDC lights.
1. I prefer low, med, high. No moonlight. Some people want moonlight. Maybe you can make moonlight an option that can be changed by soldering a star on the driver.
2. I prefer XM size for more flood.
3. No PWM, please.
4. Is it easy to unscrew the bezel, so I can change the LED?
hi, thanks for your advice.
but,I think xpl hi is not a good choice. for:
1) xpl hi gives little flux than other LED with s lens, like xml, xpg. for example, the xpl hi in 3A, gives only 900 lms, less than the xml2 1100lms.
2) xpl hi leds’ advantage is based on its small core and big power. but if you want get it advantage, we need a bigger reflector. while E3 has a limited OD, the reflector only has a 16mm diameter reflecting surface. We should design products based on all datas, not our idea…… that is my opinion.
3)maybe xpl hd is propper, but I think in many situations, xpl hd is only a concept to talk, not too much advantage.
hi, I want make things simple.
I want moon light-middle-high.
As over-Discharge protection, AA/Ni MH we set a 0.9V stopping work protection,while Li Ion, how to do? so a good way to resolve it is adding protect board on 14500 battery.
I prefer to make simple function lights. I am making simple and steady tools from begin……………I dont know what is BLF A6 either…and I also feel hard to make too complexd UI,
I think it is no doubt that: they copied us.
Jaxman E3 issued in Feb,2015. Only because of we are not famous brand, and we insisting quality not quantity, so we are not known as much as the cheaper flashlights brand.
One word, if they provide a selling record early than Mar 2015,I will apologize here.
Dont forget, Manker had copy us Z1 flashlight and titled it as a COMETA flashlights , and had been selling in BLF. It is just happend years ago…. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/39949
hi, really, only a few factories engaging metal machining in China, and most flashlight factory dont machine metal part themselves. This is according to economical principles.
We keep at least 2 metal machining factories. And as business partners, we are keeping very good relationship with our supplier. Our supplier never sell host to others without our permission. That is a base of corperation between any such kind of partners. If a metal machine factory do business by selling their custmer’s design, I think they will make good business at all.
As others brand related, I dont want to say too more. For ourselves,we never use the same design with other flashlights brand. We are just to be us,Jaxman.
I like the idea of a driver customizable by soldering/unsoldering stars. Quick enough to change, but no need to memorize mode group change instructions, and no accidental mode group changes. Also much easier and beginner friendly than reflashing, or even swapping a driver.
The Jaxman E2L is one of my favorite lights. I consider it as a high quality light. I also own a Jaxman U1 and a M8.
Now I’m very curious about the new E3!
I’d like to see this one with a high-cri emitter. Moon-mode would be nice to have, indeed.
