Jetbeam E10R and E01R Video Review

Hey again @BLF. Hope everybody’s hanging in there with the long haul projects and whatever else.

Have a couple of lights that were sent to me for review from Jetbeamstore.com it’s their E10R and E01R. These lights represent the few, the proud, the AA and AAA internal USB charging lights.

Not a bad implementation with regards to design, but not the best UI imo. .44Amps for 14500 with USB charging on E10R, and .20 for a AAA NiMh on E01R. E01R will not take 10440. If you’ve been pondering either of these lights then have a look. My typical 15 minute x2 rolled into one = yeah, it’s a fairly long video. I try to keep the information pertinent.

Just comment or ask if you have any questions about either of these lights. I’ll keep my email open to see if there’s a comment, and try to reply promptly. THANKS for taking a look.

If you have a second, and if you would, click like and or subscribe on the YouTube channel :wink:

Nice view, thanks!!
My most important interest is about charging NIMH batteries.
Have you information about NiMH charging, is fine? how many mA are charged in a deplete AA and in AAA? fully charge the batteries?

Regards

To be honest, I’m a bit ignorant when it comes to the NiMh batteries. I’m fully charging a depleted AAA in the E01R right now. I don’t know what an ideal ending voltage would be. I read 1.4 - 1.6 volts. The one’s I’ve charged on my Liitokala charger have ended at about 1.4 volts. Again, I don’t know how ideal that is. I’ll check the AA Nimh charge current and get back to you with that in a minute. Have to run down the battery a bit first.

Thanks papaslightsaber for the nice video review :smiley:

Also, the 0.2 amps seemed a little low to me. But again, I haven’t used Nimh batteries very much at all. The times I used my Liitokala on those I went with .5 amps. Thanks for baring with me.

My pleasure. Thanks.

I got 1.36 end volts for a completed charge cycle AAA in E01R
The AA NiMh when low is charging at 0.35 amps in E10R.

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

You’re welcome. Yes these videos can be a bit time consuming to produce. I just learn as I go so hopefully the quality can improve and the worktime lessen.

Press and hold 1 second to turn off.

No thank you.

I’m with you. I absolutely hate press and hold off lights

Thanks for the review and video.

Saw the comment on your video about clip reversal. How about if you reverse the tube? Are the head and tail cap threaded with the same pattern and if so and you reverse the body, will the light function? (edit: As charging circuit is integral to the body tube, I see now that it’s not reversible)

Bummer about the half capacity charging issue on the E01R. Hopefully JETBeam will resolve that in the near issue.

If it’s the right light then I’m in. Otherwise I tend to agree. Click on, click off. It tends to be the first big thing I look at in a UI. I hope manufacturers take note. Single click on, single click off. Not press, click. Otherwise, I’m too often forgetting or getting confused by my “convenient” flashlight. I’ll click it off and put it in my pocket but it’s actually now in low mode. I hope manufacturers take not. I too feel like an otherwise good light is now sidelined because of this. Again, this is my own personal opinion. :frowning:

It really is a shame honestly. It’s as if these companies just copy the other guy who got it wrong and now somehow we have the majority of side switch lights with ridiculous and unintuitive UI.

There’s only one button operating the ui/power playa. They’re not copying other dudes ui there’s not much you can do with one e switch. The jetbeam pro 2 has the one (short press) click on/off but you have to hold down switch to change modes and the delay is pretty annoying. Or you long press to turn on or long press to turn off like this one is. Unless they have a Nitecore like half press e switch that’s the way it has to be. Good vid OP.

Thanks for the video review… Sorry i didn’t watch the whole 30min…

I received a E10R today. Pretty nice AA light. The USB port is concealed in the head and thus waterproof which is a good thing - but you have to unscrew the head to charge up. A quick test with a Sanyo UR14500 shows it’s quite bright on high - similar to Utorch UT01 or Klarus Mi7. The UI is not that great though but i can live with it. However i find this light to be rather long. It’s actually longer then a DQG Tiny 18650.

I tried a few double clicks to see if it can be locked out… it did not work. I should read the instructions…

If it`s the same as my E01R to lock hold the button down around 3 seconds until the led flashes when the flashlight is powered off, to unlock do the reverse.

One button is not an issue at all. There are single e-switch lights out there get it right. This is one of the many that get it wrong.

Turning a light on or off should not require any special effort or knowledge or thought. The basic function of a light is to turn off and on when you want. Thrunite has it right. Olight has it right. And some others. Most do not.

Just my speculation, but I think most people, including myself aren’t needing to constantly change modes. Having the light mode-memory’d where you want it and one click on, one click off seems most convenient. A light requiring 0.6 seconds to turn on or off but 1.2 seconds activates epilepsy mode is just ridiculous. Another light requires two clicks to turn off (High-low-off)… but a quick double click takes you to strobe. Think about that madness.

I’ll quote myself from another thread:

Yes. Sorry, I meant to have this in my review but managed to overlook it. Lock out will prevent accidental activation in the pocket.
