The new Jaxman E3 flashlight comes in the new year

I vote for

  1. verylow-low -> middle -> high
  2. high CRI 4000K-5000K

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.

hi , the fat SS bezel is because its structure, and there is also a O ring before the glass, so ……no way to make it more thin……

With a Ni MH battery, now the out put can upto 900+ mA. This value will be influenced by the quality of battery.

As LED, yes I also agree to 3535 led, XPG2, 219C, and LG 3535 are also Ok.

I only make a trial selling of new E3,
not old version.

All is according to the discription of the item page.

thanks for your advice.

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….

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.

“Jaxman”, thanks for all the answers and explanations given :wink:
I guess this will be a top quality light!

May I ask you: what will be the diameter of the driver? 15mm, 17mm?

Also, do you intend to have the light glued?

Thank you very much, again, for your work :wink:

I have to agree with others on the moon/low/med/high. Small led footprint. And interested in driver size too.

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.

Subbed! Jaxman you have impressed me again! I want one! Lets see…. I currently own 1 Jaxman Z1 and two Jaxman E2L. It’s time for the E3!

Interesting to know the timelime of this design. I might just give the new E3 a go

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.

Pardon me but I’m still confused — is the E3 now for sale something different than what is being discussed here?

hi the driver PCB size is 17mm, and no glued, becase this model need not fixed the MCPCB.

You are always welcome!

hi I am intending to choose a 3 modes UI, simple and easy to operate.
and thank all good advices.

hi Hatman, now on selling is the new E3.
now the MODE is High Middle. and I only issued the Nichia 219CT version ,infact I also have Cree xpg2 version.

Good idea. A simple low/med/high setup works. Just like the E2L. Since this light lacks LVP when using a 14500, will the light be able to accommodate protected 14500 cells? Will you offer a Nichia 319AT led with the light as an option?

Thanks for your answer, those are great news :slight_smile: I guess I will have my first Jaxman flashlight :smiley:
(my other order, so far, was of LEDs and optics!)

If I understand correctly, reading these 2 answers, the driver will be changed, right?
Now it is “Middle > High” and you want to have a 3 mode (Low> Middle> High), correct?
Do you have any expected date for that change and further commercialization with the 3 modes?

Thanks again :wink:
