[♛ FreemeGB] ASTROLUX MF06 CREE High Power Flashlight with Active Cooling - Not Quite there Yet

Interested

Well Jason,

To answer your question: yes I do think it appeals to some people, why else would I have brought it up. At least it appeals to me.

However, I’m not that interested in the design itself but in the practicality of it. The concept with a separate battery pack would leave
plenty of room for active cooling on the head part.

Also, the really big lights with 6 or 8 cells and lots of big emitters already are very, very bulky so separating the head from the
battery pack would make the head part much more easy to carry and use for a prolonged period.
And this will be a big and heavy multi-emitter light, why else would you want to have active cooling (= adding more weight and bulk) on it?

Cheers
Nico

Interested. Thanks.

I’d like if many more lights came with an external battery pack option. It’d have to be optional though, with a plug to eliminate most of the space the battery tube used. It’d be even better if that battery tube had 3 tapped holes for mounting on a tripod and on a bumper or roll cage. It’d be awesome if we could slap a suction cup mount next to the a-pillar of our vehicle and attach the head from our huge flashlights to use like a police searchlight. It’d be an expensive option though, so it’d have to be marketed as tacticool, err, tactical.

Please put me down for one.

I really like the concept of the X70, but it (and this) will probably be too expensive, and wouldn’t a fan cause some highly excessive battery drain? The MF03 sounds good enough for me, I hope that one comes to life.

Interested!

No. It should be insignificant.

I’m really into the concept of the MF03, since it isn’t active cooling I’m assuming speculating this will have more emitters or more power.
But again MF03 looks good enough, for me anyhow.

You shouldn’t assume anything about the MF05 because we have no idea what kind of light it’s going to be.

It could be a medium sized light designed to do a constant 10k to 12k lumen. Or maybe a giant light like the MF03 that can do higher outputs, but not continuously. We don’t know, yet.

Maybe “assuming” was the wrong term to use so I changed it.

I wasn’t referring to the physical size, only that I assume speculate it will be multi-emitter and probably more emitters/more power than the MF03 (which I think is the general consensus?) And reinforcing that theory is the fact that Astrolux didn’t think the MF03 needed active cooling.

I guess OTOH it could actually be only a single emitter, but I highly doubt it.
