Anyway, if they are indeed having difference of 350m measured by forumer, I think it is quite funny to know Astrolux and Haikelite were using offset numbers quite close to each other to boast their flashlight throw distance.
1587-1200 = 387m. I wonder is it possible they engage the same test house to perform the test and cause this offset from reality.
I can highly recommend the MT07S (70.2). Great machining and finish; the light feels really good in the hand. And the output is just amazing. It’s just a joy to use, and the price doesn’t get better than this.
I only have the L6, and the beam is pretty comparable (70.2 version). Output of the MT07S 70.2 is about 20% higher than the stock L6. The output of the L6 does reduce with depleting cells which is not the case with the Haikelite.
There is just very little info regarding the 35 version. I think the 35 is an interesting light. It’s not a dedicated thrower like the TN42 or the MF02 with a huge reflector. The MT07S is much more compact and although not too comfortable, it actually is pocketable. I call it a sub thrower.
So for its size you get quite some throw with ~200 kcd intensity. So the 35 is less bright compared to the 70, but you definitely have a tighter more intense hotspot, also relative to the L6 and Q8.
I see that even the 70.2 variant offers nice throw, 75-96 kcd depending who measured it. About twice that of Q8.
I spent too much on lights recently….but I’m in.
Did anybody do a resistor mod?
