Mateminco MT35 (Astrolux MF02) Beamshots and Throw Measure

Wow, those beamshots are practically the same.

If all you care about is performance, the MT35 is equal to the K70, but at half the price. Impressive.

more two pictures… :sunglasses:

K70

There is a slight difference but not enough to justify the extra price of the K70.

The Mt35 does look warmer than the K70.

But the MT35 steps down and the K70 does not! :sunglasses:

Does it?

Maybe that’s a reason to spend double the money?

Thanks for the review.

What are the LONGEST cells that will fit in the carrier?

I want to use either MJ1 or Panny/Sanyo GA’S. It will be modded and he states: Protected cells Only

GA Dimensions: Dimensions (including button): 69.7mm length (±0.2mm) x 18.55 mm diameter (+0.1 / –0.3 mm)

MJ1 Dimensions:Dimensions: 69.6mm length (±0.3mm) x 18.6 mm diameter (+0.1 / –0.3 mm)

Thanks

The last two pictures is the K70 definitely a better thrower. But yes for the price it’s worth it.

I enjoyed it but there was nothing mentioned in the EXTENSIVE review about maximum battery size.

,Thanks

The last 2 pictures don’t look right. The MT35 doesn’t seem to be on its highest setting or the camera settings are not the same. All the other pictures show the same brightness.

Since it uses the same battery carrier as the MF01, did you check that thread about what size protected cells fit?

There are another pictures in different perspectives. :slight_smile:

Acebeam X65 for reference only… :sunglasses:

No,I did not know that. I will check now. I am not up on all these budget lights!!! ,even though that is the title of this forum. lol!

Thanks Jason.

I will talk to the guy who modded the light because PROTECTED CELLS [Acebeam 3100mah] fit in the carrier.Maybe he modified the carrier or the MF01 carrier is not exactly like the MT35 carrier.

The Mateminco MT35 and MT18 are very similar to the Astrolux MF01 and MF02. The heads and battery tubes are all interchangeable and the battery carriers are all the same. Saves money.

When Lexel reviewed the mf01 he said protected cells won’t fit. Then Charles BridgTec did a review of a production version and said protected cells do fit. It’s possible the battery carriers were lengthed just a little so both will work.

I would ask on this thread.

Maybe some owners can check to see if they fit.

Hey Jason, I have both mt35 and mt18. Protected button top will not fit unless you mod the spring carriers. My mt35vn takes protected button top.

So are you saying your MT35vn has a modded battery carrier? What modification needs to be done? A shorter spring swapped in?

Yes. Both carriers are upgraded… however mt35vn requires protected and used shorter spring.

I scored a nice K70 from ebay tonight for a decent price. Nice lights.

I'll have something to toy with while waiting for the BLF GT's.

Geez, how many long throwing lights do you need? Lol
