OSRAM CSLNM1.TG & CULNM1.TG 1mm², CSLPM1.TG & CULPM1.TG 2mm²

So the Jax Z1 finally arrived today, after i dont know how long (seems like an eternity waiting for a flashlight)

Obviously i stripped it immediately to my horror there was a nasty surprise that i didn’t bank on, they Glue’d the star PCB in with copious amounts of white indestructible epoxy :cry: Jaxman you SUCK!

Thank god have a lathe and can turn this mess out but anyone buying one be warned

Since it has a separate pill, you can (after removing the driver) heat it up with a blowtorch. When over 150 degrees, the glue should give in.

well for an Extra 5$ jax will supply you a bare pill with it…(wish id known that when i ordered) Either way its done now White flat & 14x 7135… fitted Its ok but it still cant rival the crelant :frowning:

Beam size is the tiniest smidgen tighter than a nightmaster nm400 but the lens is way better quality

A picture is worth more than a thousand words :wink:

Beamshots (tonight) please

I’ll give it a go but ive not had much luck with my camera im not sure what settings you guys use to get those great pictures but if anyone’s got any advice on that it will be gratefully received

I use my phone (a Sony, gives good pictures). I use a combination of manual and automatic settings (fiddle with them) and try to make the picture as close to what I see with my eyes as possible, sometimes I need to adjust the brightness afterwards to get it right.

Many people post beamshots that exaggerate reality unfortunately, or use different brightness settings (often auto) for different flashlights that they compare.

One other tip: do not position the camera right next to the flashlight or it will record an impressive-looking but useless blue ray of light that obscures the distant illumination that shows the actual quality of the flashlight. I use at least a meter distance to the side of the flashlight.

A quick comparison Z1 7g5cs L2 & 1 Zillion candela Lumen Ebay HID (the Chinese seller says)



It’s a little misleading the 7G5 appears larger because the Z1 has far superior AR coating,
the glare makes it look larger and camera is struggling to pic that out


7g5cs stock driver ( sub 3amps) , L2 & Jax 5amps

Hello Osram users,

Thinking of putting a 1mm Osram White Flat in my Eagletac M30LC2-C flashlight.
Do you have any idea if this will work well, and how much extra throw I would get from the light?

XP-G2 output is rated at 1280 lumens, so I suspect each LED is getting about 1amp of current.

Thanks

Weird, I don’t remember that from mine. Was yours the XHP50.2 OR XML2 model Z1?

And it looks like you may have it slightly over-focused there. At least for my CULNM1, the sweet spot is unscrewed about an eighth of a turn.

it was the xm-l2 version from jax store on ally, the beams are focused but my camera cannot capture it properly ill try again with them on a lower brightness

Do you have pictures of the hotspot size of the c8+

Unfortunately not, i have transplanted the white flat in a convoy L21A, which now does over 500 kCd @5A
At 1m the hotspot on a white wall is 8,5 ~ 9 cm

500kcd? you sure?

I have an L2 & C8+ with the higher power CULNM1.TG and 6a led4power drivers… Sure they are Bright but both of my aspheric setups eat them for breakfast using the same emitter/driver combo

Im pretty sure neither are 500kcd , as i recall Djozz & others only got beyond 500kcd using wavien collar’s

I haven’t measured the throw yet but the hotspot on the c8+ is 40mm or 4cm at 1m At what distance do you measure the lux

Lux readings done @5m, measured 20500 Lx

That’s for the L21A ?

Yes, with the C8 i got just over 200 kCd on 2,8A

200k+ on 2.8a damn I have mine at 4.7a in the process of adjusting focused but unfoused I got like 145kcd at 4.7a I must be doing something wrong lol

Proper focusing and centering is key !

(A.k.a. sanding down several gaskets to different heights, trial and error, see what works best)

1 Thank

Isn’t 5m a bit short for measuring lux in throwers? I don’t have throwers, but I always see people on BLF saying throwers in particular need a lot more distance to collimate the beam.
