Cool white is evil :stuck_out_tongue:
Effects of blue light on the circadian system and eye physiology

Mine has arrived as well!

Horrid weather tonight so won’t be going out for a play with it yet :frowning:

It feels really solid, nice and weighty feel to it which is good. Surprisingly compact as well which is a bonus in terms of being a practical light to carry.

UI suits me, easy to use, not fussy and with shortcut to turbo. Shortcut to low would be nice as well but for the price I won’t bitch about that!

Turbo had me saying holy s*+t, its bright! I can’t measure it but it’s a clear leap over my Convoy L6 so I don’t doubt the lumens will be round the advertised level.

Thanks for bringing us this deal. I know this light will get well used.

You do realize that all light is radiation, don’t you? It’s all bad in high enough doses.

Everyday feels like an eternity waiting for this light and the Q8…

I can’t wait to play with this one and my Q8 lights when they arrive. I’ll be able to blast the coyotes, opossum and skunks with wild abandon! I wonder if that pesky raccoon will burst into flames when I surprise it sneaking up on the back deck…

Both ASTROLUX MF-01 promo (e.g flash sale) and group buy prices are scheduled to increase after Banggood 11th Anniversary Sale. Do take note.

Gonna take a few more days before anyone gets their Nichia MF-01. BG received the 219C version about four days after the XG-P3. My 219 left HK yesterday, and is probably sitting at a US airport awaiting customs clearance.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already, check out the review of the pre-production MF-01. The reviewer’s sample was a Nichia and he posted beamshots from it. Pre production sample [Review] Astrolux MF-01 4x18650 flashlight supplied by Banggood - #2 by Lexel

Can someone post about UI of this light. Thank you.

Ordered the cree version yesterday on their promo pricing, it showed 100+ still available, now my order status shows backordered…. ? Oh well, I guess the pre-orders blew their stock.

On the bright side, you did manage to get at offer price right? After 11th Anniversay Sale, MF-01 price (including our group buy price) is scheduled to increase.

I sure did, I was about to ask for the code then saw what they were doing for the 11th. In a chat convo they stated they would be back in stock on 9/22.

So Bangbad got my order on Aug 11. Shipped using Priority Air Delivery on September 1. Expected delivery is September 22. What kind of Priority Air shipping is this? These turds prolly strapped my flashlight to the belly of a damn seagull. :person_facepalming:

The fasted I’ve got something from SE Asia was about two weeks (D4 from International Outdoor). But I have definitely waited 3-5 weeks on stuff from china before even with air mail. Tracking updates are sketchy, but usually it shows up!

It wasn’t in stock until last Thursday. Free delivery from China is gonna take at least two weeks, no matter how much “priority”, “air”, or “expedited” they put in the name. Mine took all week just to reach LA, CA and is now in customs processing. Still has to travel via FedEx Smartpost (slower than USPS) to NC. Don’t pay much attention to the ‘expected delivery’. I think that’s just a max time BG lists, just to cover themselves if it takes longer than usual.

Priority airmail is not the same as expedited right (Fedex, DHL)?

Yeah, Priority Direct Mail and Air Parcel Register are the two free options, and is whatever the cheapest shipping cost is for BG. Expedited is $7.00 and EMS Express is $13.20

I paid am extra $7.92 for DHL express delivery of my HT35. 3 - 7 day shipping. I asked them for a refund in the $7.92 since it took them 12 days from time of payment to release the package in the UAE and DHL did their part getting the package from UAE to GA, USA in 5 days, and they have ignored that message for several days now. Filthy rat turds. Ain’t nothing worst than a vendor making promises they can’t keep and when called on it they ignore the question.

It just might, I shone turbo on my hand from a foot away and could feel my hand getting hot :smiley:

would anyone recommend this light? Good quality? Im looking to get one after someone lets me know what they think about it.

Did you see Lexels review of the prototype? The link is at the bottom of the 1st post. Soon people will receive final versions and I’m sure lots of reviews will follow. You just have to be patient.
