How is that even possible that 1 led is on when they are connected in a cluster of 6 LEDs?

Bad reflown so the - is connected to the DTP spot while the + is still connected?
Like the emitter is twisted or moved from the right spot?
Or to much solder paste and the led didnā€™t get the tap on the head to remove excess solder so DTP spot and - is connected?
The Mcpcb does have DTP right?

Do not worry, every bad luck comes to an end. :wink:

Well, I had a reply from BG 5 days ago:

I canā€™t see it in ā€˜my ordersā€™ yet.

I also sent a replacement for the torn rubber button, the method of delivery Flat Express.

1 * Astrolux MF01 Swicth Cover

But keep in mind that he will not appear in the list of orders and you personal cabinet.

Sitting here with my Nichia doing tail-stand on high modeā€¦ because I got nothing better to doā€¦ itā€™s been 30 mins and I donā€™t see any noticeable step down to my eyes. The head is warm but still able to hold with my hand. The body is also warm but nowhere near as the temperature on the head. No fans or anything to cool it down.

The light kept on running in high mode and just about 35mins I saw some ā€œflickeringā€ but that only dims a little bitā€¦barely noticeable tbh. Then I got boredā€¦ I hit the button one more time and go turbo, the light heats up quickly and saw a noticeable step-down. After I shut it off, the light cools off fairly quickly and I can go turbo again. I am very happy with this product, the high mode runs pretty well and efficient with no cooling at all; out door will definitely do much better in the cool weather.

All 4 battery reads 3.92V when I put them into the charger. Pretty good after running on high + turbo mod for about 35-40 minutes.

Astrolux MF01 even in the active cooling mode does not work in the turbo for more than 1 minute. AceBeam does not have such a problem, with strong active cooling, the turbo mode works long. :weary:

ā€œAstrolux MF-01 active cooling modeā€ you mean a fan outside of the light ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway , not really fair comparing a 70$ and a 500$? flashlight.

Cooling the head with liquid nitrogen!

Which AceBeam model are you referring to?

Not 500 $ and 299 $ - AceBeam X80

AceBeam X80 at least 3 minutes shines at 11000lmn

I think you are referring to thermal regulation... Active cooling does not exist in any of lights. From Maiden666's review https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/47092 you could see X80 is above 50Ā°C @1min which Astrolux MF-01 is not programmed to go beyond this mark. To be honest, 70Ā°C in 2min is pretty insane.

He means external active cooling. Like fan or big water volume. That shows difference between real thermal regulation and programmed step-down.

Yes, yes, youā€™re right! Iā€™m talking about this. They do not understand me ā€¦

:wink:
Please see till the end.

Sorry for off.

He is talking about cooling the flashlight with liquid hydrogen .

I think comparing this light to an acebeam x80 is ridiculous.You could buy 2 mf01ā€™s, a BLF GT,and aemisar d4 to throw in your pocket for what it costs.

Once again.
Nobody is talking about pid regulation with turbo return after temp goes down.
One guy just supposed that there is no real thermal step down in MF01. I.e. step down time do not increase when heat spreading abilities increased (by any external factor).

Yes Yes! You got me right! Iā€™m trying to explain it!

I had to mention two things.

  1. I dont own MF-01 and dont know how it works. Problems may be caused by bad thermistor or big thermal resistance between thermistor and host or etc.
  2. When I left a link to video Damir`s profile didnt show any country.
