✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX MF04S (XHP70.2) & MF04 (XHP35 HI) - BRASS@.@

BTW: I’m thinking of modding the BLF GT with XHP70.2 and modding this new Astrolux with a small led, like Oslon BF.
Should do around 2Mcd with that. Just waiting for a reversed polarity driver for the Oslon.

You’ll be better off with Osram Q8WP. Intensity within error margin from Blacky but double lumens. The only drawback is higher power consumption which doesn’t really matter in GT.

Tnx for the tip, I’ll look into it.

Don’t get me wrong: I still think the BLF GT is a great light and unbeatable at the price for which we got it in pre-sale.
It’s just that whilst it has good throw, for the size of the light one would expect more and due to the output the spill has a blending effect on the user.

Hence I was thinking: either a bigger led for less throw but a lot more lumens (XHP70.2) or a much higher intensity led with a lot less spill so the throw
will be more useful.

Tnx

Of course. MF04 could be ready for preorder by next month... if nothing goes wrong.

Astrolux MF04 CW?

[sienna]

Interested.

Will there a option between CW or NW?

[freeme (youtube.com/@1thedeals)]

Yes, i was told that NW will be given priority this round.

That sounds brilliant. I will really like to have the NW. Just wonder what temperature color will it be?

Similar to MF02 maybe. NW should have better penetration power over CW for longer distance.

Same tint as my NW MF02 would be awesome!

Yes indeed the NW is better thrower at long distances. CW causes much more scattering specially at high humidity and fog. I did few tests in the beginning of the week where I compared NW and CW at long distances and definitely NW wins. Definitely much more detail, contrast, better depth perception and color rendition on objects with NW.

Can you post a side by side beamshot comparison picture between either the BLF GT or the Acebeam K70? Thanks! Another question, is the driver a DD or regulated? Would be awesome if it was CC regulated so it does not dim as batteries deplete…

[Micmania]

interested in NW :person_facepalming:

It seems likely they use a boost driver just like the smaller MF02.

The MF02 battery tube fits so they might be trying to use the same battery carrier as well.

They might be trying to make the MF01, MF02 and MF04 all compatible so you can have a double headed flashlight.

Hopefully they will answer.

[freeme (youtube.com/@1thedeals)]

Tube should be interchangeable. Head design is undergoing slight fine tuning right now.

Looky here: BLG GT Moding thread

“Results:

Djozz light: 21 mtr = 832.167Cd
My light at 21 mtr = 1.142.190Cd
Mine at 13 mtr = 1.139.060Cd
Mine at 8 mtr = 1.142.336Cd

(We measured with Djozz’ calibrated Gossen Luxmeter and deducted the ambient light @ 61Cd).”

BTW: My BLF GT has a NW Led. VERY NW, bordering WW.
So with good binning CW it would be somewhat higer.

Did you replace the led or is it still standard?

Nothing done to it. Yet.
Like I said, the emitter is very, very NW, bordering ww.

They took Lumintop BLF GT. It’s an obvious clone. Is it ethical to support such a project? (I specify that I am enrolled for the flashlight)

[td1042k]

I’m also enlisted for hopefully the next batch of GT. In any case I’m buying both lights. I’m under the impression the reflector will be near identical size as the bezel on the MF04 is only 2mm larger than the GT.
