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.
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 I guess I will have my first Jaxman flashlight
(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?
I ordered the version of the Jaxman E3 high CRI, warm Nichia 219c that was in stock as of this date.
I left a note that I wanted to make sure that the body is black and that, if possible, I wanted it to turn on at high, them mid, then, if there is one, low.
A few days later, Jaxman notified me that my order has shipped and that my E3 would turn on at high — exactly what I want — and the next step would be mid. No low.
Ordering was painless and I paid with PP — thank you! I prefer not to use my cc online.
Will there be a newer version? That has been unclear to me all along in this thread. If so, and if there is a worthy improvement, I won’t hesitate to order again.
These lights are well-priced and I want to support Jaxman’s work.
My first Jaxman was the 365nm UV light. I was impressed by its quality and elegance.
So I did not hesitate and got a E2 219c CW. That was a great light too, with very useful modes for real daily use, and of course unparalleled cool white high color rendering. I took it to Acadia National Park for a week-long camping trip. With a diffuser from mtnelectronic it was the best ever tent light. My family had lots of fun playing Uno under it.
When this comes out, I will for sure get one too. Maybe two, one for each color temperature.
My personal preference for modes is low, medium, high with no mode memory. Low 2-5, medium 50-100, and high ~200 for AA, 500-600 for 14500.
One suggestion to you Jaxman is to provide a nice diffuser to go with it. It can turn the light to a very nice and useful lantern. Not the transparent ones but the opaque.
Another suggestion to you Jaxman is to make the host of the new Jaxman E3 available for sale. For this, I believe I speak on behalf of a number of people here who are willing to purchase and try the E3 host for personal use.
