are there any photos ?
or details on cooling ?

Nope.

I suspect Astrolux is letting people know they are working on a fan-cooled light super early to try and beat Acebeam to the punch because they should be releasing their fan cooled X70 light very soon.

This is just my own personal theory. Normally you would expect them to wait until they were a bit further along and had something to show us or some type of details.

Beat them to the punch, like get people to delay buying an Acebeam in hopes that the Astrolux is better? Ford did that with the 4th gen Mustang by introducing the Mach III concept. Even then it still failed to match the power levels for a while. Maybe we’ll see the same here.

Yes, it’s a common tactic among competitors.

The X70 might be released as soon as March. It’s a bit bigger than the MF03 using 12 x xhp70.2 plus an xhp35 in the center. Maybe the MF05 will be similar? It makes sense that they would not want to waste fan cooling with a medium sized light, so a big, powerful light is what I’m expecting of the MF05.

We literally know nothing at this point. So it’s all speculation.

If Astrolux is going to try and compete with the X70, they should just say so. I’m sure a lot of buyers would be willing to wait and see what they come up with. They could at least tell us their goals with this light.

interesado, depende de caracteristicas y precio

Acebeam X70 most likely cost significantly more money, no matter how good that light is i cant justify buying one so for me MF05 is more interesting.

Active cooling

Interested . very mysteriously sounding like a fan strap to a light. hopes its done beautifully and cool.

This thread needs pics…!!!

interested depending on what it actually is……….

Pics please

Yes, I’m in!

VERY Interested…. Some pics would be nice…!

I hope that in addition to a tripod mount in the head they also put a tripod mount in the tailcap. This light is almost certainly going to be huge, and I’d actually want a real camera tripod to give it a secure base for ceiling bounces. There’s actually a standard that flashlights like the Q8 often get wrong. The 1/4-20 threads should have a full thread depth of 1/2 inch.

Having dual tripod mounts also provides a way to attach a lanyard or a shoulder strap.
