[Review] ROFIS MR70 (XHP70.2 & XP-G2, 26650) An amazing all arounder

The flashlight was sent to me by ROFIS for review.
Here's the product's link: ROFIS MR70


The MR70 arrived in a nicely designed cardboard box.


The back side of the box contains some useful information about runtimes, so it's worth a shot.


Thankfully ROFIS hasn't skimmed in the accessories list.
In total, you get an adjustable wrist strap, a braided micro-USB cable, two spare o-rings, a replacement rubber flap, an OTG adapter and a nylon carrying pouch.


The nylon sheath is well constructed and feels durable. Its side pieces are elastic to provide a more secure fit of the light.


The back side of the pouch integrates a fixed belt loop hole, a button secured loop as well as a metal ring.


Coming to the flashlight itself, you can notice that its design is aimed towards providing a clean, elegant look.
The satin black anodization is flawless while the cylindrical knurling increases the grip of the body.


Opposite to the e-switch there is the secondary emitter of the MR70.
Under the white plastic diffuser there is an XP-G2 NW emitter which provides a very wide, hotspot-less beam that's excellent for indoor lighting.


Here's the side emitter in action.


There is also a micro-USB interface integrated into the head that's protected by a rubber flap.
Thanks to it, the flashlight can be recharged as well as act as a powerbank.


Here's a closer look at the e-switch of the MR70.
Big thumbs up to ROFIS for going with a recessed, inner-curved switch.
Thanks to its great design, the switch is easy to locate and yet difficult to be accidentally activated while in pocket.


The e-switch has an integrated indicator LED which lights up once the battery is connect to notify the user about the charge level.
It also lights up once the MR70 enters 'Location Mode' which pulses the LED every few seconds in order to make the light easy to locate at night.


The head of the light houses a quite deep OP reflector and a CW XHP70.2 emitter.
Of course the front glass is AR coated and it's protected by the polished metal bezel.


The tailcap's threads are square cut and have anodization applied to them, so the flashlight supports mechanical lockout.
The BATT- contact utilizes a twin spring design which helps reducing the system's total resistance.


Thanks to the built-in charging interface, the flashlight's battery can be charged on the go.
While charging, the e-switche's emitter lights up to indicate the battery's charge level.


Additionally, the MR70 can also be used as a powerbank with the help of the included OTG adapter.
Again, the indicator LED provides information regarding the battery's left capacity.


The maximum amount of current that the charging IC allows to pass while in 'powerbank mode' is around 0.75A


As an added bonus, the MR70 is delivered together with a high drain 5500mAh 26650 cell.


A quick IR test returned 50mOhms of internal resistance, so that's indeed a high drain cell.


The battery weights around 96gr.


While the MR70 weights another 138gr.

User Interface

I am glad to say that ROFIS has integrated one of the most useful user interfaces that I have ever come uppon in a e-switch light.
The UI contains lots of nice, easily accessible special modes / shortcuts and most importantly it has one click on/off.

Power on/off: Single press.
Mode switch: Long press while powered on. The flashlight will cycle though Low -> Mid -> High -> Low. The cycle occurs in ~0.75 second intervals.
Turbo: Double press from anywhere.
Secondary LED Power On: Long press while off.
Secondary LED Power Off: Single press.
Secondary LED mode switch: Long press while powered on. The flashlight will cycle though Low -> Mid -> High -> Low. The cycle occurs in ~0.75 second intervals.
Location Mode: Long press for 3 seconds while off. Once activated a red light will start pulsing.
Lock Engage: Long press for 4+ seconds while off. Once engaged the light will flash two times.
Lock Disengage: Long press for 3 seconds. Once disengaged the light will power on in Low mode.


Performance and Beamshots

In order to get my measurements, I used both a DMM, a clamp meter and the ROFIS branded 26650 cell that was included with the light.
Here's my ceiling bounce measurements along with the current draw for each power level.
Keep in mind that due to the lack of a reflector, and thus a hotspot, in the secondary emitter it's likely that my measurements are way off for the XP-G2.



Here's Turbo mode compared to my other lights.



I also went ahead and measured the standby current drain, which ended up being 158μA
The standby drain would empty the included 5.500mAh battery in 1450 days :)

For the last part, here's a few wall beamshots.
XHP70.2 ( Low - Mid - High - Turbo)


XP-G2 (Low - Mid - High)

It's the first time that I get to handle a Rofis flashlight and I must admit that I am impressed by the company.
They have put a lot of thought into the design of the flashlight's body and UI.
The MR70 is definitely an excellent flashlight and it's definitely well worth its money.

Well, I didn´t think I needed any more lights in my collection, but this one seems to be very practical!

Nice light, but the $90 price is a bit steep.

With the smooth shoulder, I wonder if there would be any issue with holding the light if your hands were a bit slick for some reason.

Also, why are Rofis, Acebeam, etc., so expensive? Sure, more than a Haikelite or Astrolux, but not double or more.

Great review, I have one on the way to me…
I agree that the price of Rofis lights are a little bit higher than others, but I believe that there is a coupon that brings ti price of MR70 to 50$…
Can’t remember who have a coupon for it, maybe
M4DM4X??

i would like to know about its mod ability, maybe changing the side led to nichia and pump more current to xhp70.2

As long as you browse BLF, there will always be a new flashlight for your collection :slight_smile:

I believe that the price will eventually go down. I am sure big discounts will start popping in the close future.

Is that a mistake? Could you please double check it because on their site it says that discharging current is 2.2A. If it is only 0,75A, it will be disappointingly slow!

BTW thanks for the review! :+1:

This light would already be in my hand if it had a NW emitter… :frowning:

I just checked once again with another mobile device.
I managed to get a maximum current of 1.6A which is way better that my previous measurement :slight_smile:

Received my MR70, and I am so impressed with quality and simplicity of this multifunctional flashlight.

Also I can confirm that power bank function will deliver more power then stated in OP, but it will mainly depend on device you are charging,and how much power it need…

Just a quick pic with 1,2A reading at starting

This one is definitely going on my wish list, looks really impressive. Pity it needs an OTG adaptor for the powerbank function.

At least it has charging capability, but if it didn’t use the OTG cable, you’d need a full-size USB A port on it. But yeah, one more thing to keep track of.

I just finished testing of Rofis 26650 battery, and results are more then good !!

First of all, manufacturer of cell is definitely same as one of the best cells out there Littokala 5000mah and 5500mah. As you can see from the picture cells are identical, only wrapping is different.

And now the best part! After I completely discharged Rofis battery to 2.75V, I put it on a slow rate charge with 500mA on Zanflare charger, and got nearly 6000mAh !!!

I don’t know about you guys but this is the highest capacity high drain battery I have ever seen!!

Thanks for checking, that’s good news, i hope it will be able to go even higher.

Wow 5962mAh from battery rated 5500? Impressive! Was that a charge or discharge test?

It was discharging to 2.75V and then charging with 500mA. Results are from charging to full

His coupon takes it to $61

I was going to buy one until I saw it was CW only.

Not sure why CW is so popular with Rofis and Olight. Id have a R50 in my hands too if it wasnt CW.

Nice design. Wait for price to come down.

CW gives brighter light, cooler temps and longer runtimes.

A while back I communicated that sentiment to Rofis and they decided to offer NW versions in their new line of angle lights, so now their latest release, the R3 is available in either NW 5000K or CW6500K.

I also referenced the MR70 in my inquiry and it wasn’t excluded in their reply, so maybe they eventually will offer the a NW option for it too.

And now there’s yet another new light in the category of the MR70 that’s available in CW only: The Lumintop ODF30

So between the three, TC20, MR70 and ODF30, the TC20 is the only one currently available with a NW option.
