Can anyone please take amd post a picture side-by-side with the Jaxman E3 and a Convoy S2+? Thanks in advance :+1:
why to to make this contrast……….
Hi Jaxman! Please don’t get me wrong! The only reason I asked to see that comparison between the E3 and the S2+ is because I carry a S2+ everyday and I wanted to compare both to check how much longer is the Jaxman E3 and how much larger is the S2+, in comparison. :+1:
There is no other reason. I am still thinking about getting an E3, but I want some more information to decide!
Thanks in advance if anyone can post that or sent it by PM!!
s2+, e3:
s2+, e3:
s2+, sf14, e3, s1:
g_damian, thank you very very much!! That went further of what I asked 
Well, actually, I made a mistake when I asked because I wanted to say S2+ in 18350 version, but that photo with the blue Astrolux let me compare the sizes between both!
It is even shorther than the Sofirn SF14 :heart_eyes:
Thank you very much mate!!
See jaxman, that was the reason why I wanted to know this comparison!! You will receive an order in the next minutes
EDIT: order placed :nerd_face:
oh, you are talking size.I thought you are talking the flux lumens.
Yup jaxman, it would be in terms of size It would not make sense for me to ask output comparisons
BTW, thank you for shipping the flashlight so fast I will be waiting for it to arrive!! :+1:
aha, thank you.
Now my city have open the international mail service just now, so now I can arrange shipping as soon as the order is placed.
I would not like to wast others time.
Good morning, if you are in east Asia now.
Those are awesome news, shipping will be even faster
Thanks for your consideration and for your great work Jaxman!
I am not in East Asia, but a good day/night for you :sunglasses:
I’ve ordered four E3s and they arrive in CONUS in about two weeks.
Highly recommended!
I use NiMHs but I do wish Jaxman would clear up the question of whether or not to use 14500s.
On his site he seems to be saying “yes”; on this forum, he seems to be saying “no.”
I think what is implied is the E3 is more optimized for NiMh usage (it has well-spaced brightness modes). If using 14500 on the E3, the brightness is not well-spaced (low and medium look almost the same brightness. And High is not ‘significantly’ different from Medium when using 14500)
There are old E3 what can use only NiMHs and newer E3 what can use both
The mode spacing with the 14500 is not really working correctly. It was designed with AA in mind. But it is one of the best AA lights out there at the price.
Just arrived :heart_eyes:
Later I will try to take some photos and make some comparisons for those (like me) that need/want some information about measurements, and…stuff!
But right now, I am happy with my first Jaxman flashlight :partying_face:
thanks for your surports. If there is any feeling about it pls kindly tell me.
Wish a good day!
Yesterday I received this flashlight and my first impressions are VERY VERY GOOD! As mentioned previously, this is a flashlight that will act a lot better on Ni-MH than 14500 Li-Ion batteries.
The output levels on Ni-MH are very well spaced (perhaps my most well balanced AA flashlight till this day!)
I opted for the Nichia 5700K version that produces a quite nice (Neutral) White beam. There are no artifacts or tint shifts on the beam.
As for the light and its construction…damn, it’s pretty soft on touch, and breathes quality! At least, this is my impression. Machining is well done, the tube/parts threads are very smooth, as is the knurling.
The tail switch is as normal as other flashlights, but look to the detail that the tailcap has “JAXMAN” written on it Like!!!
Please note that the “anti-roll” shape on the head will not prevent it from rolling, it will just “delay” the roll. Of course, with a pocket clip installed the light will not roll… LOL About tailstanding, well, it is not completely balanced, but it will tailstand too
The flashlight arrived with the pocket clip installed, but I opted to take it out and to use a “screwed” in (deep carry) clip. O-rings (stock and spare) are thick.
I didn’t gave up of turning this flashlight into a triple, but…I guess I will buy another one to do that as I want to preserve this as it is!! I honestly like it and being my first Jaxman flashlight, I actually became a fan :sunglasses:
Thanks for this great work :+1:

Despite the Efest 14500 flat top is on the photo, please note that this flashlight only takes button top cells.

thanks for your time.
the E3’s middle mode is realized by PWM, so you can find the strobe.
Rgs
Yup, I noticed that! But it can only be seen under a camera, naked eye doesn’t see it (well, at least my eyes don’t see it)!!
Again, great work, I love this flashlight :+1:
thanks for appriciation.
we will do our best to make lights.
Hi. I actually created an account so I could comment in this thread. I use Eneloop batteries and prefer warm light, so I’m in the target market for flashlights like this one.
I’ve had a Jaxman M2 in 4300K for about a year and I love it. The two-mode control is wonderfully simple and the modes are nicely spaced. It does everything I need from a larger flashlight and effectively retired my old D-cell incandescent Maglite. I like the 2xAA size and I don’t think they get enough love.
I was very interested in this E3 but the PWM turned me off. I like the extreme battery life of a super low and I appreciate lights that preserve night vision by starting on the lowest setting. Super high can be useful but I rarely use it. The medium setting is right in the sweet spot for me, both for light level and battery life. Having PWM in that mode makes it much less attractive.
If Jaxman releases a version of this in warm color with high CRI and no PWM, I’ll buy a few of them.
