Astrolux MF03 - new pictures + video

Not really. Even the 30Q can only do 15A continuous and 20A in pulses according to HKJ. They tend to get pretty hot. Plus you get a lot of voltage sag. More batteries means less voltage sag and more lumens.

I think the Imalent DX80 has about the right battery to output levels. 8 x xhp70.2, 32,000 lumen and 8 x 18650. That’s 4,000 lumen at 5A from each emitter. It works pretty well.

Once you start going over that, like 11 of the xhp70.2 at 5A each, you need 12 cells. If you have 11 at 8A each, then 16 cells. This would be a practical use light I’m talking about. Not a 5 second wonder.

Imagine the GT with its 5.5” diameter head and a copper insert to load up 11 or 12 xhp70.2 using small reflectors. Then a special driver that can handle the power. It would probably be 2 drivers combined or stacked. That would be an awesome light. Now that the GT is shipping, I wonder who will be the first to mod it?

I think DBCUSTOM was talking about running 4 x xhp70.2 with each one in a C8 reflector. That would be cool.

Yes, that’s it. Pulses are fine. Melt my face off for a few glorious seconds.

There are batteries that can handle 20-25 amps , like VTC5A .

Mf-03 will probably take 8*18650 , from what i understand from the pics . If there are 2 carriers , in parallel , but each one is in 2S2P config , max current with 15amp batteries like 30q will be ~60amps .

If we forget that we have an xhp35 , and assume we have 8*xhp70.2 P2 , max output for the available current would be about 5900*8= 47.2k lumens . Not bad :innocent:

I would definitely keep the LEDs efficiency right over max lumens
4A @6V per XHP70.2 should be fine

If there’s going to be more than one mode, I’ll accept a 4A mode too, as long as it keeps a mode that’ll split atoms.

i hear you have went on a vacation ?
hope your enjoying yourself…
they gave you fair warning, and you still got banned after that ?
tell me again who’s ignorant ?
lol…man oh man….unreal…
enjoy…

Be careful making it too floody that annoys people when the lights shining into their houses or cars. Unless using it in not so populated area, else it will sure annoy neighbors.
It is cool to us, but annoying to others especially when the lights flood so widely.

lemax already makes your dream light
called the super –70
2 mile throw, 7500 lumens, weighs 8 lbs :open_mouth:
oh yeah, and its only 2500 bucks :wink:

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: !

Now that’s one attractive flashlight! :+1:

updated the 2nd post

-> i like the green color :)

SWEET!!! :open_mouth: :+1:

… That looks too good… Just stunning…

Any updates with the MF03 :smiley:

And to think I just found this project.

Welcome! come on in, there are no bees here :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue:

What is real and what is a render on these pictures?
The flashlights can not lay over each other in that way. The Flags and the Cap are not real.
The desk and the room are real and perhaps the hand and the green flashlight.

It all looks real to me. Carefully check the shadows and light sources. I see no signs of any rendering.

Keep in mind that these are not flashlights, these are empty hosts. They should be able to lay on each other like that with no problems.

Dude, these are just real pictures. Are you learning photoshop recently?
