[Unboxing] MATEMINCO MT35 Plus(Astrolux MF04) only pics

Based on the beamshots provided by steel, both gt and mf04 beam distance look identical. So i am guessing around 1mcd for the Mf04…

Hey steel boss, how soon can we order the mf04 aka mt35 Plus? Thanks.

There seems to be two stores on AliExpress that are selling them right now.

Thanks Jason. I have already sign up on the ASTROLUX MF04 CREE XHP35 HI 2000lm Thrower - Official Group Buy …

I dont want to back down… so i will just wait for the official group buy…

MT35s

Moon, 10.38v, 0.01A
Mid, 11.19V, 0.12A
High, 12.59V, 0.95A
Turbo, 13.93V, 2.55A

Thanks for the measurements.

Is that with a clamp meter around the emitter wire or a DMM inline with the emitter wire?

That turbo 2.55A sounds good. Not too much excessive heat, but does hurt the run time. 2A is more practical but it makes the specifications seem like it’s not performing at it’s best. I like how the GT let’s you have both 2A and 2.5A to suit your needs. One is practical and the other is for showing off. LOL.

I wonder how much of a difference it's going to make in the real world compared to the MF02. On the fence still about the MF04 as the MF02 throws further than I can really see anyway.

Blf gt can throw 1.1 miles. Mf04 will be about the same. So you get some idea…

Between the MF04 and MF02, the latter uses a smaller reflector, so it’s hot spot is a bit bigger. This might be a bit more practical for people who don’t need the full 1 mile+ range.

Steel says these measurements are from another person. It uses a clamp meter on the emitter wire, it is an independent tester (not factory personnel) and a production light (not a prototype).

Hopefully Mateminco will not decide later on to add thread locker to it like they did with the MF01 and MF02. Nobody likes that.

My MF02 throws a tight beam with much of the hot spot filling the beam when I point it at something. I may just bow out of the MF04 group buy as the more I think of it, I really don't need it, thanks.

Distance is great for boaters looking for markers, but probably overkill for me.

Some people don’t even need the full range of the MF02 so they will swap the xhp35 out for a bigger xhp70 and bump up the power (Skylumen MT35vn). You get less throw, but a bigger hotspot. It’s all about what fits your particular needs. That’s how I look at it.

True. For me, the MF02 is the ideal light. I like just about everything about it including how it throws. I used to love the overwhelming flood and brightness of my DX80, but the MF02 is the one I keep taking with me everywhere and actually using.

Thanks for the review. Stunning photos!

Link to seller does not work.

It works for me.
Head over to aliexpress and search for MT35. I see two stores with it.

I am not a boss, just a fans.
