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.
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.
I have over 150 lights, I find that there are those that I like best and as such I use those most often. Periodically I mix it up with some rotation but there are a lot of my lights that don’t get used. Nevertheless every single light in my line-up has a charged cell/cells installed and is in stand-by mode for instant use at any time.
I’ve got quite a few smaller lights, but when you get to the $150 and $200 range I have to be more practical. Unless it’s something that I can use for work. I’m still waiting for a light the size of the L6, but with a triple 70.2 reflector setup. Kind of like putting a Haikelite MT09R head onto a L6 battery tube. How can I get such a 20k+ lumen monster? That would definitely be worth $200.
If shipping is to be included it probably won’t be $150. I would expect quite a bit higher as shipping costs are going to be just as expensive as the GT. The two stores selling them on AliExpress are both $187 including 10 to 20 day shipping.
It looks like there’s going to be a Group Buy on this model but the final price hasn’t been decided yet.
I think u have to be realistic its a big light i doubt it will sell for around 150$, close to 200 then more like but who knows… it would still be under blf gt price.
