Yeah the reason I ask if ES2 head are compatible 3 head with 1 XPL-HI can be good 2 is very nice on ES2 but 3 <3_<3
Iāve choose black body, the golden ring button and lanyard fixe look good, blue bezel not
Iāve also MF01 mini high CRI not same beam
MF01 is a big and bright hotspot ont the ES3 itās a big wall light/flood, little/no hotspot donāt expect more 40 meter range but very wall light.
I hope Niwalker continue on this way and produce other head itās pretty nice to mix and choose/change beam quickly.
I donāt think separate channel , but I think we can unscrew for disconnect one or 2 head.
No idea for UI I donāt expect nothing, On/off, ramping and no more
I really hope Niwalker develops this concept, they can do near perfect light with complete UI and ādriversā
I donāt know about driver Niwalker is a discret brand and strange website O_0
Only my tought, itās probably 2 driver one primary on the body and secondary on the head, on ES2 you can switch with the UI 1 head on, 2 head on, other head on.
Reason I think that
Scallywag the ES2 is very strange at use, when I bought it i donāt expect big runtime at high level because of the heat and I was pretty surprised one 3 XPL HI and one 1 XPL HI give perfect beam and even in summer good runtime before overheat, the big issu is a bad capacity to dissipate heat, with this designe ES3 can do better.
The reason I think āhybrideā driver, ES2 donāt look but it is a pretty nice heat tank. the body is not āemptyā seem be āfullā but no only with drivers
Everything is relative of course soda can better always but no same size , iāve only D4SV2 XPL HI for compare a quad XPL HI light
The body of ES3 can be a big heat tank and accept medium burst a 3-5k lumens and can be good complement to use with MF01S 4000k when ES3 dissipate heat.
ES2 size for compare
Changing head is very nice easy and quick and head transport really doesnāt take up much space you can have 3 head with the size of 1 26650 cell and change thrower beam for wall light beam or hybrid beam in less than a minute
Yeah I agree with you, tail cap look seem replaceable.
Now Iāve doubt for some reason.
Banggood say rechargeable type C but at the end
Package included:
They answer me to skype
Unfortunatly ES2 head no comptability.
21700 4000 Mah give away from order probably 40t
I ask for XPL HI they tell me Osram nm1 white Coming soon, not bad
Interesting light. Funny that it comes for $80 for three heads and a battery. But extra heads are between $15 and $30 EACH.
Would have been more of interest to me if there was a reasonably priced package with all the available heads. Otherwise becomes a very expensive light in a hurry.
Really like the format/design/concept and the desert tan colour though.
Yes head part are expensive.
Compare to ES2 75 USD body with x3 Seoul UV led, x3 XPL HI and no cell ES3 is better deal
For ES2 that was 15-25 USD x3 LED depending brand and 9 USD for single CREE XPL HI/HD.
Donāt know for ES3 but ES2 is claim with 5 year warranty on the box

1lumen make rewiew of ES2
Interesting, never read before, iām agree with their issu (Oring ring cut off) and conclusion, exept 3 star total note.
Just Iām surprise on the lumen test only 590 for single XPL-HD, not my favorite LED on this light I need to retry later but nothing had shocked me during these uses.
Not real output claim, ok but for this tall and light the princip is to mix different beam and not breach the limit.
beyond the numbers I consider the lamps first of all as dishes, if a dish is good have not necessarily know what is in it.
On this case ES2 is great meal probably 2500-3000 lumen with one 3 XPL-HI and one 1 XPL-HI but fine, great bubble of light to see all around 30-40 meter)
I am not against hardware or physical limitations volontary or not, I use inside Samsung 50E and iām satisfied. 5000 lumen or over on this light tall/design is useless for me.
No LVP protection warning, Iām a big boy, similar āreduce/simpleā Anduril UI 3 click from off after 20-30 minute use for check lvl
Niwalker ES3 - YouTube
Iām still excited to receive her.
Iām really think ES3 is upgrade to ES2, Iāll keep you informed and if itās shit Iāll tell you too I want Niwalker upgrade ES serie (and website >_<), donāt make shit.
Iāve found used camera (Panasonic Lumix FZ82 not especially better in night condition (for shoot light ) but visibly itās in very low luminosity I didnāt plan to compare moonlight/low level for the moment, I also have AI software to try remove a possible digital noise) it should happen tomorrow (I have a doubt) seem good for a start with reasonable price, I project first use to it make video and pics for compare ES2 on my other single cell cool white light Nitecore TM9K/P20iX, Astrolux EC01/03 (50.2) and Wildtrail WT1M (50.2) NSXE (SFS80 LED) .
I do my first try night shot and i donāt clearly remember what is the LED for each pics
One think is to be a pics of the light before the shot
After many reflexion iām pretty sur for the light add to shot
Niwalker 3 XPL-HI + 1 XPL-HI (cool white)
Astrolux EC03 XHP 50.2 (cool white)
Nitecore P20iX
Convoy M21B GT-FC 40 5000-5500K
Convoy M21B GT-FC 40 4000-4500k
Astrolux MF01 Mini SST-20 4000k
My first try , you can give your opinions here for the moment
Iāve do video with more mixed results, need time to enhanced and adjust by software
I open soon a topic for my Try/evolution pics and video nightshot
I kinda disappointed when I recieved them, some of the colors didnt match with the naming of it.
The most ānear redā is the middle-bottom one. That match the color of Convoyās Orange-tail switch LEDs. No actual red glow gasket from Niwalker, I guess.
Right-bottom gasketās glow is like liiight orange/warm white.
I wanted to find out some answers about ES3 from Niwalker website , contacted them on Skype, Wechat, by email, and by filling out the online form.
No response anywhere.
Maybe someone here can help? below are my questions:
1. Does the Osram Pusra emitters have the best throw distance among the offered emitters?? What is the throw distance of 1 head with 3 Osram emitters? How many lumens is one head with Osram ?
2. What is the throw distance of 2 heads with Osram pusra emitters when installed together?
3. What is the throw distance of 3 heads of Osram emitters installed together ?
4. If I buy the the light with 3 heads of XPL hi emitters plus 2 spare heads with Osram emitters, can I interchange them myself at a later time? Wonāt there be any issues with the drivers if I interchange different emitters heads, shouldnāt they use different drivers?
1. Not exactly sure, Although I do have other Niwalker lights with the Osram Pusra and its a domed emitter so its not going to give throw like the W1 and W2
2. Not sure
3. Not sure
4. Yes they are all interchangeable, the driver is inside the removable part.
I did, thank you. It seems like itās not very throwy. I thought ES3 would be a potential combination or option of flood and throw , but now it seems like even with 3 heads ( 9 Pursra emitters) it may not throw too farā¦
Yeah, this separate 3 head design is not going to be a major thrower. Some modest throwing with lots of spill.
Iāve got an ET mini V2 and find it to be a very well made flashlight. I like the UI. Fit & finish is excellent. Good on-board charging. The interchangeable heads is a novel idea. But for use casesā¦ Iād tend to think theyāre very specific. If modular heads were a little more reasonably priced, Iād be tempted for the uniqueness of this.
but very wall light.
probably 2500-3000 lumen with one 3 XPL-HI and one 1 XPL-HI but fine, great bubble of light to see all around 30-40 meter)
I want Niwalker upgrade ES serie (and website >_<), donāt make shit.
