Great news The Miller, glad to see Jaxman back onboard

Awesome news! Hopefully this light can grow into a house-hold name like “C8”

Great work The Miller!

Excellent!!!
Frankly, I am very pleasantly surprised. …
A big “Thank You” to Jaxman for allowing this and The Miller for the effort.

semi groupbuy Jaxman Z1 host
Good news! Thumbs Up

!!! When ordering you have to write your BLF name in a message and Jaxman will ask some questions !!!

There is shipping on top of the price (if you order other things like a holster shipping will go down for each item)

Host $32.50 – $35.50 JAXMAN Z1 Host for BLF

• 1. Is the “message” to Jaxman supposed to be a PM from here on BLF?

• I see the “parts link” ( Jaxman Parts ) is ‘alive’ again also.

• ( Any information as to the possibility of purchasing other ‘hosts’ also, such as the X1 or M8 ? )

G'Day The Miller,

Any chance of also having the Jaxman stock lights (including the Z1) available for purchase at a "special" BLF price?

Thank you Very Much,

George

When I add to cart it said pick a color, but when I hit the choice nothing happens
What is the difference in the 2 “colors”

1 when placing an order one can write a message to seller , this is the place for a message with BLF username (just say something like “Hi Jaxman, order from BLF user XXX”

2 Nice eh ?

3 first (or actually second ) things first.
For me the mini C8 and X1 are highly interesting but let’s see how this goes for Jaxman first

• 1. Got it, Send Jaxman a PM here on BLF before placing order.

  Teacher, nope send a message with the order on AliExpress (during checkout there is an optional message box , it is there one says BLF name: XXX, not here on BLF

• 2. Very nice indeed!!!!

• 3. Understood completely. …

Thank you ‘The Miller’ for your efforts and a Huge “Thank You” to ‘Jaxman’ for allowing this.

For sure. Glad he’s trying the host thing with the Z1, but I’d love to try out the mini C8!

Notice the price difference when you click on each one and look at the picture.

It plainly shows one does not have the battery extension. It has a “RED X” across it and says it is “not included”.

Thanks for answering question about colors!

Your welcome, glad to answer one that I knew for sure….. …

Ok I understand that the colors were not colors, that’s why I put it I quotation marks but when I click on one or the other the picture doesn’t change
Thanks for the explanation about the differences, I couldn’t tell because the picture doesn’t change

Edit to add …ok I think the link is bad for me because when I go to Ali site and search for Jaxman z1 host for Blf the color boxes work, last time I tried the link I just got a white screen

The Miller: in case more Jaxman lights will be sold as hosts to BLF members, something for them to sort out: I have a mini-C8 from them, and mine came with a white led centering ring that is too small: it does not center the led. They fixed that with a dot of glue under the centering piece, but that is a pain once you opened the light up (sorry I did that ). Without a proper centering piece I can tell you it is a nightmare to,correctly focus the led in this light! They mention upcoming black centering pieces, and I hope those are tailor-made for this mini-C8.

I have the ability to 3D print custom centering rings if you have the measurements you need. Or I can send you the CAD files and you can print it locally if you have access to a printer. A lot of libraries are getting them now and sometimes someone on Craigslist will offer the service.

It has saved me SOOO much headache since I starting printing my own rings.

Bought one with the extension tube also a 20mm driver/ 3D XHP50. Now got to wait ages for them all to be delivered from China!

The Miller, is there a time limit on this?

If so I’ll go ahead and get my order in, otherwise I am going to wait a couple of days till I get paid.

Just checking.

OK, good deal.
Because I will be “unable” to limit myself to only one host, plus I have to make sure I have enough spare parts, etc., etc. ..
Hmmmmm, may have to get a loan anyway.

Since Jaxman makes the production model available with XHP50, anyone know if an XHP70 would work in this? Could it be driven hard enough to handle the heat? Or what would be the disadvantage to XHP70 in this?

Now having trouble making the host parts page work
The “ color “ box doesn’t change when you try to choose
The site is really frustrating Jaxman
Does anybody else get the parts page to work?

Try this link………..

• I see the “parts link” ( Jaxman Parts ) is ‘alive’ again also.

EDIT / As far as the “site being really frustrating”………. maybe it is not the site that is having the “problem”. Personally, it is one of the easiest to use sites I have ever used. I’m not trying to pick on you, but just because you seem to be having a problem please do not automatically blame the site or tell Jaxman about it from the start. Let’s deal with things like this without “drama” or this ‘buy opportunity’ will be a “dead duck” again.

Still have the same issue using that link
I don’t have any problems with other sites on Ali and had the same issue with the z1 page, I’m certainly not a computer person but the fact that jaxmans z1 pages don’t work or sometimes work if I do a search instead of using the link tells me the Jaxman site is wonky, this is not drama it’s what it is

Try this link and see if it works for you??? It works for me…..

I understand that if it does not work for you, that is not drama. But if you are the only person it does not work for then it is highly unlikely the site is “wonky”, as you put it. Otherwise it seems someone else would have the same problem.

Or at least it seems that way to me. YMMV ……

Beachlogger, please see if the links below work for you. I have just checked and they both work fine for me. Hopefully a few others will check them out also.
