Here is what I found on: Mateminco MT35 Plus
Battery 4*18650 battery Weight 1290g (without battery)
2000 is probably pretty accurate. The xhp35 can only get so bright regardless of how much power you put to it. It’s physically not capable of 3000 lumen “out the front”. Also, the throw of the MF02 is less than 1587m. It’s probably around 1400m.
It is a mystery. They released those specs before the light even came out. And then once it came out and everybody realized it was much lower than those specs, we knew it would be lower obviously, banggood never did change the specs to a more realistic level.
This rhetorical question doesn’t make the MF02, MF04’s UI any better. It’s not because the MF04 shares the same UI as the MF02 that a long click to turn it OFF isn’t “bad”.
Fortunately the long click isn’t too long.
OK, my bad Jason, I thought you already knew the answer and was a bit ironical.
All mateminco/astrolux flashlights are sharing the same UI (listed in the above picture) so far which isn’t bad as a princip…if only it was a good UI.
Believe it or not, I don’t own a single Mateminco or Astrolux light even though I follow a lot of their threads. Like right now. I have zero intention of buying the MF04 as I alresdy have a GT, but I’m still curious about it.
I’ve considered buying some other Astrolux lights with the intention of swapping the driver to a Lexel unit and get NarsilM, but I haven’t done it yet.
That’s probably why I don’t know their UI, I never paid attention to it.
Their drivers tend to break anyway. It usually takes them a few redesigns to get it right. It seems the current MF02 drivers are finally working well so I guess the MF04 driver will work well, too.
Skylumen is very impress with astrolux or mateminco lights. He said mf02 have a great factory heatsink. His favorite is mateminco Mt18 with the xpl hi… I do believe him because he open and mod lights.
Yes, their machining and finishes are quite good. Notice that Skylumen always changes the Mateminco drivers out to his DriverVN, though. They make good hosts.
