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

Looks better than i thought.

Nicolicous · April 9, 2018, 7:21am

I suspect they are using the same driver like MF02

If price is close to BGF GT then I won’t buy it.

Not worth to mod :-x

Well……the reflector is slightly bigger, 124.1mm versus 118 as in the BLF GT.
The bigger the reflector, the more impact those few extra millimeters have on the throw capacity.
If the XHP35 HI (latest binning) is driven hard it would do around 150cd/mm2.
With a 124mm reflector the light could reach above 1.4Mcd.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see….

Nico is this a fact that the inside diameter of the reflector is 124mm?

Nicolaas · April 9, 2018, 10:05am

I’m as much depending on information available as the next guy but if you follow this link

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.67002e8d1d1C9a&id=56716

And scroll down (pic nbr 3) you’ll see a schematic of the reflector indicting it is 124,1 mm on the inside.
It would also mean that it is a different reflector then the one in the BLF GT, and it looks like it when you look at the other picture (pc nbr 4) of the reflector.

Again: I’m assuming this from the pics and info available, it’s all still quite unclear.

Thank you…

If its NW or warmer i am interested

JasonWW · April 9, 2018, 12:58pm

I can’t read the Chinese writing in that ad, but I think it’s safe to say it will probably have the same color temperature options as the MF02 and MT35 since they already have them in stock.

Maybe someone who can read Chinese can tell us what the ad says.

I could not get that link to work. It seems to go to an “item not found” page. I’m not certain since I cant read the language but that is what it appeared to be.

bdogsp · April 9, 2018, 2:40pm

I am interested as well. Price and tint will be a deciding factor.

td1042k · April 9, 2018, 2:49pm

If the link showing the Mateminco MT35+ is accurate, we’ll be looking at 788 Chinese Yuan which translates roughly to $125 USD. I’m totally in for that, hopefully the GB offers something similar to the MF02 price.

JasonWW · April 9, 2018, 3:05pm

~~Yes, it looks like they just took that webpage down. Maybe they put it up for sale too soon?~~

Edit, wait, I think that link is cut short. Try this one.

Yep, Nicolaas cut it short.

td1042k · April 9, 2018, 3:00pm

here’s the comparison from the mf02 to mf04. would have liked to seen a stainless bezel on the mf04 for the extra strength, but im still impressed.

freeme · April 9, 2018, 4:16pm

RMB788 is their preorder price for first 50 units.

td1042k · April 9, 2018, 4:18pm

What will pricing look like for the second batch? I think I’m #91 on the list

Rusty_Joe · April 9, 2018, 5:09pm

This is a big increase (since I’ve decided I’m not happy with the throw of my Mateminco MT35).

Tombird83 · April 9, 2018, 5:35pm

After a few updates of the list am not part of it. Please join me in the correct position.

lawallac · April 9, 2018, 8:40pm

I’d like on the list. Thanks.

freeme · April 10, 2018, 4:34pm

They have not decided yet but it is definitely lower than BLF GT.

Do you guys prefer MF01 diamond knurling tube pattern or MF02 "chocolate bar" knurling pattern for new MF04?

td1042k · April 10, 2018, 4:19pm

Knurling of the mf02 is definitely preferred for me. Going to want a grippier surface to hold onto for this big light.
