The new Jaxman E3 flashlight comes in the new year

[Jaded]

Another suggestion to you Jaxman is to make the host of the new Jaxman E3 available for sale. For this, I believe I speak on behalf of a number of people here who are willing to purchase and try the E3 host for personal use.

@Lightbringer

Anything in 2.xV, immediately cut off. Too high for alkaleak/Ni, and way way too low for Li.

Using a 2*1/2 AA NiCd is well within the realm of possibility.

@MascaratumB

May I ask you: what will be the diameter of the driver? 15mm, 17mm?

Probably 14mm. 15mm is already wider than the cell, and you still need a wall+ledge to hold it.

@Lightbringer

@jaxman

hi the driver PCB size is 17mm, and no glued, becase this model need not fixed the MCPCB.

For an AA light? Wow, I’m impressed!

Unless you have a TARDIS battery-tube. :smiling_imp:

There was the answer
With a 17mm driver…it will be nice for some mods :smiling_imp:

Yeh, I’m (pleasantly) surprised! Must be a nice thick-walled design.

So any idea when will the new Jaxman E3 be released?

Suggestion for the UI: Sofirn SF36W UI is the best rear clicky flashlight UI I have ever seen.

“click” to turn on or turn off; half “click” to cycle LL (10Lm)→Low(70 Lm)→Medium(353Lm)→High(1000Lm).The flashlight is set with Modes memory function within 2 seconds excluding Strobe.

Hi Jaxman!!

Any new on this light with the 3 mode driver?
Thank you :+1:

@hatman

I ordered the version of the Jaxman E3 high CRI, warm Nichia 219c that was in stock as of this date.

hatman, have you received our flashlight already?
If so, is there any possibility to measure the head diameter and height (from the shelf to the threads) internally, please?
Thank you in advance!! :+1:

As Jaded said, and I agree, I am very interested in this host but I would need to get some measures first! I don’t mind getting the whole light and then use what I need, but it would be nice to get the host as a “separate” sell

[djozz]

…unless the ledboard is glued with tons of gooey, like the E2L’s, that case a host version would be nice!

It will not be, according to jaxman :smiling_imp:

BTW, I guess the version being sold currently is not the “final” version as the driver is only 2 modes (according to the product description) and they intend to sell it 3 modes.

This seems a pretty nice host indeed, robust and well made

[SKV89]

For AA EDC light, I think it is important to have warm white 4000k hi CRI and moonlight mode less than 0.5 lumens. Don’t want to wake up your kids or wife/husband when you turn it on in the middle of the night.

[lmns]

I think many chinese manufacturers aren’t too fund of moonlight modes. I can understand why, though. In my personal experience moonlight modes can be a bit alienating in the normal rotation for most users because they are so low.

I wouldn’t mind if they don’t include a moonlight mode for a simpler operation, but they should at least have them well spaced out. If they want only three modes something like 10 => 40 => ~200 lumen would be nice, I guess.

The Thrunite T10 is a similar light and has around 0.3 => 10 => 250 lumen, but the jump from 10 to >200 lumen is a bit too high in my opinion. I think the T10’s settings are good for enthusiasts who know what to expect from a light with those modes, but without some setting between 10 and >200 lumen you probably won’t satisfy most needs. Something around ~50 lumen is good enough for a quick walk around the house or dimly lit streets.

With only three modes some compromises have to be made, but I think if in doubt I’d optimize for muggle usage with a light like this. See the popularity of the BLF 348. One of the most popular lights despite its simple operation. I think there’s definitely some demand for a high CRI light with a simple UI.

It looks like Jaxman got some Kodak lanyard leftovers, i have received the same :money_mouth_face:

[sovereignknight]

This looks like a nice light but I wish it offered more light output like the Manner E11,UT-01 and EDC05. I would have jumped on this if that was the case.

Today I received an E3 that I bought for my grandmother (219C 4000K), and took the opportunity to disassemble it a bit and take a look at the insides. Here are my findings:

- the build quality is as good as I’ve come to expect from jaxman

- the driver is 17mm and it looks like any 17mm driver would work in it without issues

- the switch and its washer are a bit smaller than my X6’s, but anything that fits in an X6 or an S41 tailcap can probably be made to fit with a little sanding

- tailcap button is ~12mm

• the ledboard is 16mm and it’s glued in :person_facepalming:

I’m really disappointed by the glue, if a host version was made I feel this would be a good candidate for a 14500 build with a 3A LD-A4 and an ILC-0, but I’m sure my grandma will like it as it is

Oh boy :person_facepalming: Didn’t expected it to be glued…
But, how hard will it be to remove that?

Did you get the 3 mode driver or just 2?

Thanks for showing us this And I hope your grandma likes it as well

2 modes, high->low

Thank you :+1:

It’s poor. 8(
moonlight is nice option.

1C3, I hope my request is not an abuse, but is there any possibility for you to make some measurements of this flashlight, please?
Namely:

- length

- outside diameter

• inside diameter in the head (where the reflector/MCPCB sits)

If you could do this and tell us the numbers I would appreciate
Thank you in advance

[1C3]

lenght:93mm
diameter:22mm

here is a pic with a S2+ for scale

I don’t have an accurate way to measure the inside of the head but it looks to me like the mcpcb space is around 18mm and the rest of the inside is 19mm wide, here is a pic to get an idea:
