List of Actively Cooled Lights

It reminds me of a blow fish.

Nice thread. Specs on the X9 say 25000 lumens @ 5 min then steps down to 6000 lumens @ 80 minutes. I guess the fan does not do that much or am I reading the specs wrong?

I did not think it was going to be released. What have you heard?

Maybe triples the run time on turbo. It might triple the run time on the next level below turbo as well.

Just imagine if there wasn’t a fan, it would last like 15 seconds at 25k.

I think it would be longer than 15 seconds.

The Emalent DX80 does 32000 lumen for 3 minutes without a fan (according to its specs), but I think they built that with a massive amount of aluminum in the head to soak up the heat (plus the finned heatsink bolted on).

With the fan turned off, the X9 might last 60 to 90 seconds at least. That would be my estimation based on its lighter weight. Then with the fan running, it could be extended to the rated 5 minutes.

I think the X9 would be around 350 watts, btw. You would need a good heatsink and a powerful fan to sustain 25k lumen. I think the X9 was lacking a bit in both departments. It had a compact heatsink and a compact fan to keep the overall size of the light small. It’s all about compromises.

Was thinking the same thing. DX80 has some serious metal on it plus the heat sink.

Thanks, I didn’t know this.

I updated post one with new info to reflect this. Plus 2 more lights.

5 minutes of turbo on $500 active cooled light?

I think the TR-J20 moded can do much better without fan :person_facepalming:

From what I can gather, there is NOT active cooling in the 2018 model

That is old information. The final production version is NOT fan cooled, can do full power for probably less than 2 minutes and is still $500.

I cannot listen now the video, sorry :frowning:

So, why this light costs $500? :open_mouth:

So, the mf03 must destroy this in price

Olight charges a lot. Their X7R 12,000 lumen light has a list price of $279 compared to Astrolux’s MF-01 12,000 lumen light that has a $110 list price.

They claim to be a higher end brand. Same for Acebeam, Nitecore, Fenix and others.

Acebeams big 12,000 lumen searchlight, the X65, is listed at $574.

I think the early Olight X9 was going to be about $600 to $700 back when it was first introduced.

I don’t think Astrolux is targeting Olight’s X9. They can easily beat their higher prices.

The MF03 is probably targeting the Imalent DX80 since both are not fan cooled.

Then their MF05 can compete against the Acebeam X70. I’m sure they can beat it’s price, but the X70 might release soon, so they are a ways behind. This might be why they released info on it way before they have any real designs.

No load whatsoever on the internal battery of the light!

i agree, i never consider it as Profession light, 3d printed part, CPU heatsink, lol, looklike a DIY light to me

No info about included cooling fan though.

Don’t forget that we bought MF-01 with a coupon at a low enough price,while Olight does not permit this policy.The same as the other first rate companies.So,Astrolux is going to be a must for us in a budget. :slight_smile:

Great thread, thanks for starting, subbed…
