Astrolux MF03 - new pictures + video

2 million candela it’s what I meant. Forgot to mention it also had a big heatsink and a fan on the back as well.

well - that 3Dprinted lights are not really of my taste ;)

Yeah it’s basically a 3D printed light that’s not weather proof, has an exposed fan, an ugly beam and 15 minutes of runtime on high (uses two 20700 or 18650).

My thought is that it has nothing to do with this thread.

Let’s talk about the MF03, shall we?

MF03 = more fun part3?

:smiley:

Well, when I think about the Storm of Ra… and I think about the videos I’ve seen about that light… And then fill my mind with MF03… OMG OMG!!! MF03 is SO awesome!

So that’s what that storm is good for.

Come on, build quality ain’t good, but nevertheless it is:

  • one of very few if not the only actively cooled flashlight on the market
  • the throwiest 6000 lm LED flashlight

Still, it’s OT. MF03 is a big flooder. I think more than 4 LEDs as with just 4 the optics would be very shallow, so I guess it has more.

I do NOT consider that STORM OF RA a flashlight,at least not one that you can carry easily in one hand. certainly not one you can esily bring on a walk,especially the trail.

My TK75vn QUADD SST40 SD has 2000 more lumens and 270 yards Less throw. You can operate it with one hand and it is more reasonable to use as a flashlight on the hiking trails or where ever.

not even in the same category…
go away…

Sub’d

Dont ruin my dreams :expressionless:

I still think its possible to buy a light which will produce 50k lumens continuous with U$89

I 100% agree, all that guy does is gloat about his overpriced Vinh lights, go back to CPF you pest

Olight already produces a flashlight with active cooling :wink:

I think a lot of you guys completely missed the point of the discussion I was trying to get started. I simply threw the Storm of Ra into this thread, because someone mentioned building a thrower with XHP70.2. I wanted to show that it is possible to build a flashlight that throws far with an XHP70.2 in it. I know the Storm of Ra’s build quality is the best, but it is a working light that has bigger throw than the former throw king, the TN42.

I think maybe we can incorporate some of what those guys did with the Storm of Ra, into the MF03?
I don’t know about all of you but I would love to have a flashlight that can output great lumens, has active cooling and throws far. If I have to pay more for quality, I really don’t mind, as long as the built quality, specs, and most importantly, the performance is there.

Did anyone say 2-mile long distance throw with 8000 lumens in the beam? I can always dream.

The build quality is not the best I meant. But as I said, it is a working flashlight.

Not the last time I checked. Are you sure?

I just checked their website and their highest end light is the soda can X7R and that has no active cooling.

I probably missed your point.

This is 2 completely different types of light. The Storm is an aspheric thrower, while the MF03 is a multi emitter flooder. Plus the MF03 is already past the design phase and they are already testing prototypes. Anything useful from the Storm will have to wait for a different flashlight design.

Are they working with any of the BLF driver wizards for this one? It’d be nice to get a great firmware UI to go with that dual button physical UI, and it’d be one less thing they could screw up.

No, it’s another Mateminco/Banggood light like the MF01 and MF02.

Unless of course there is a BLF driver wizard consulting and they are sworn to secrecy. But I doubt it.

guys!

discuss other lights and forums in the places made for that!
