Didn’t see any post anything about these two new lights from Jaxman. Quite like the look of the X1. Now they put in more powerful emitters.
Can’t decide which one to get. Hope Jaxman on here can give us a special price so I can get both haha
Have bought a host when arranging that at the time
Jerommel made a Bistro driver (Cometa) fit
With the lighted tailcap and XPLhi NW a really nice light
As a matter of fact just too nice, I don’t use it for fear of dropping it and cause damage.
Jaxman made a nice solid foundation with this, cool to see these special high voltage led versions. Thanks
Though I could not find any mention or photo of it, looking at the host photos I think this new model might have an integrated shelf. The old x1 had unibody construction for better heat dissipation with a pill, the x1s seems to have abandoned that concept, there would be no reason for such a change if they were still using a pill. Also in the driver spring pics the retaining ring for the driver seems to screw directly into the head. And they went for a shelf in all their recent lights (m2 and e2l).
I like that they added a steel bezel!
(edit) They do show the head and led shelf being a single piece, I just didn’t pay enough attention :person_facepalming:
Look like it’s still a unibody
A discount would be nice.
I wonder how it would fare with a group buy. Hint, hint!
I could go for a flood version.
I pm jaxman asking if it’s possible for a group buy or he can give us a discount code for something
The price has gone up since the first release 
:
Wow that’s so much cheaper
after seeing that, I definetely won’t be buying one unless given discount or group buy. hahah
Discount has to be lower than 34 dollars or I’ll feel ripped LOL
I think it was a introductory price 
!
Unless Jaxman themselves want to do the gb itself, I am not optimistic about it from happening, just check this gb on the Z1 I organized in 2014 that went pfffft:
Khas, how high was shipping?
Jaxman sent me a message a while back and I should have one of his new X1S XHP35 lights this week, and he just put up some more lights for sale today and they aren’t the $30 trial run version.
But I think he has some driver issues, sort of the way I read his message anyhow.
He did design a new reflector for it which should be interesting, the original X1’s reflector was fantastic I have a lot of his X1’s and a lot of all of his lights so this should be real interesting.
Not to forget he got rid of the pill and went with integrated shelf, not a big surprise really, sort of expected that sooner or later.
I was reading his XHP35 specs he has in those lights and I don’t know a lot about the XHP35 but those specs just don’t seem right to me, 4000k is not my normal NW tint like he’s selling and I thought with the 35 that the coolest tint was something like 6000K…? I don’t know but do know I have one about to show up so will post what I see, I hope anyhow…
Edit: Forget about GB with Jaxman, seriously, I’ve been through that so many times it ticks me off just thinking back to those days, he won’t do it and it’s hard enough to even try to talk him into selling hosts.
Edit 2: He did today when he dropped those other new X1S lights up for sale on his Alie site, he posted them at like $50 something, but here’s one for you, he has them posted as with FREE shipping,
Now that is absolutely a first.
If you want to buy a old original X1 you can buy them from HK equipment for I think $52 and get free shipping, Paul is… odd… like me… really odd, maybe that’s why we get along, sometimes.
US $ 10.83 for the shipping, seems high but normally I get the order within 14 days so I don’t mind paying more.
And as T18 points out, the shipping is included in the new price so the difference isn’t that great from what I payed.
I can’t seem to find the free shipping X1s anymore. Unless no free shipping to Australia
What driver issues is that? Are the driver issues on the new X1s?
Received the new X1 XHP35 today, either I order the wrong tint or was sent wrong tint perhaps.
Noticed something with LED pulsing on high, reminded me of the Manker breathing LED, haven’t had time to really look at it except to run it up once so will take a closer look at it tomorrow.
The light is nice looking for sure, a much nice design than the old X1 I think.
Also noticed just at a glance what appears to be circular ripples in the reflective coating of the reflector but as mentioned will look at it closer, this is also a new reflector from the old version and now integrated shelf no more pill, bummer.
More info tomorrow…
