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

Great review, I have one on the way to meā€¦
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$ā€¦
Canā€™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 emitterā€¦ :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 needā€¦

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 didnā€™t use the OTG cable, youā€™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 donā€™t know about you guys but this is the highest capacity high drain battery I have ever seen!!

Thanks for checking, thatā€™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 wasnā€™t excluded in their reply, so maybe they eventually will offer the a NW option for it too.

And now thereā€™s yet another new light in the category of the MR70 thatā€™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.

Cooler temps and longer runtimes? Never heard that one before. Please explain.

NW gives much better color rendering at only minor lumen loss.

You can have the same CRI at any temp, and CW LEDs are more efficient so youā€™ll get longer runtimes providing you cap the lumens at the same levels. I.e. an Emisar running at 1000 lumens in both CW and NW flavours will see the NW run out of juice first.

To advise better I think adding the word slightly would have helped.

Thanks, I donā€™t recall ever reading any discussion of the heat or runtime thing of CW vs NW, just a lot about color rendering for NW.

Not saying it hasnā€™t been discussed, but I personally donā€™t recall anyone raving about a great High CRI cool white either. I do have a High CRI triple Nichia 219C R9050 in 5700K, and itā€™s a bit too cold for my liking, but it does have great color rendering.

I think deciding on a NW or CW is completely subjective to the users preference of light color, much more than a decision based on minor brightness, heat or runtime differences.

For example Iā€™d gladly sacrifice a few lumens, a bit less runtime and a bit more heat to have NW. For someone who truly prefers a NW tint I doubt they would change to a CW because it ā€œgives (edit:slightly) brighter light, cooler temps and longer runtimesā€. JMTC
