browsing for the E01, I found the Mateminco S02

Sure, it makes sense for that, but most e-switch lights aren’t really meant for LE/military/self-defense. Things like the Klarus XT series with a dedicated strobe button are great designs for that, but it seems to me that a lot of manufacturers don’t have a clue who they’re designing for.

Tac Strobe Mode lets people feel like they’re special-ops, even if they only ever use their fancy tactical light to walk the dog.

I’d say it’s ridiculous for people to pretend such silly things, but, coming from me, it’d be terribly ironic.




The more of your posts I read the more you remind me of another member of an ad&d group I was with in the 80s. Intended as a compliment - it brings back fond memories.

:+1: S41-ish with a side switch. The black aluminum baked hickory brown in contrast to the copper would be a great companion to my s41.

Nice find :smiley:

Whaaat? This is no game! This is my life!

But seriously. Roleplaying on a forum where literally no one else does… isn’t awkward at all.

Stop looking at me like that.


I like the way this looks

That black version looks great.

So is the "Mateminco S02" for sale any-ware as i cannot seem to find it.

John.

Exactly my thoughts

Dear friends,

First of all, thank you for your attention to this brand. We need to clarify that Mateminco is a brand that we only sell domestically. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Swi

Why?

I’m domestic. Send to us. I like that black alu and of course that brown!! GB

I’m sure this can be rebranded and sold internationally. There’s definitely interest. I want one.

Definitely interested, and also with an 18650 tube.

They will probably lego with either the BLF-A6 or the Convoy S2+

My guess is that the international version will be called Manker E14 II.

Yep , guessed it from the “review feeler” thread . Let’s hope for Astrolux version or a nice price on the Manker one .

And there it is: the Astrolux S42. Choice of XP-G2, XP-G3 or 219C 5000K. Both tube lengths included. Initial price of $30. The firmware looks to be a translation of A6 to e-switch, which is less than optimal, but not the worst thing they could have done.

Would be cool if I could get in touch with the people who made this, to have a chat about source code and how the GPL works. I don’t know if it’s actually based on any GPL’d code, but it’d be nice to have the sources anyway.
