Astrolux A01

I got 3 and 4 on order now. magic little good looking lights.

I just turn it on. Not the right beam?. Just click it till it is. Simple.
Have yet to have any intermittent power.

My Kids love them too.
The near perfect torch for walkabout work, Fit in pocket/purse.
and about the most well proportioned on the market.
Similar to the S-R1. They Just ā€™ā€œfeelā€ right.

I been using one since march 2018 in my keychain, many scratches from drops and keys, but i never got flickers. BTW i didnā€™t bother ā€œmoddingā€ the capacitor because eventually it gets discharged(maybe minutes later or even hours) because the next time i use it starts in moon!

Just ordered one of these, looks like an interesting little torch (especially for so little money!).

One question for those who already have one of these, do you have any thermal issues with running a 10440 in this guy? I love my BLF 348 but it just gets too hot too fast if you use a 10440 rather than an AAA.

Hmm, havenā€™t tried it but generally I didnā€™t think 5mm LEDs did well being over driven?

I have a copper one. Gets hot a bit but never even slightly uncomfortable.

BTW recently I noticed that it has a low voltage protection. :slight_smile:
At 700 mV, even with LiIon. :frowning:

Guess how I found outā€¦.

shame the copper version is sold out :frowning: would like oneā€¦

I bought 2 of these first (Astrolux) Batch Grey.
MAGICā€¦ā€¦ Just opened the one on my keys Soshine 10440.
Theyā€™ve Been on these since new. NO probā€™s so far.

I got a coupla each, BLF 348 and Singfire They running on a mix of
10440. Ni-Cads and Duracell.
NONE give a problem. and I find minimal difference in output.
No matter which one I switch on.
Just ordered another 3 too. Yellow. Blue. and Red.
Different one on each keyring. So i know which keys I picking up hey.
House. Boat or car.

Does anyone know if you can get replacement glass for these? If so, what size and from where?
Thanks!

Dunno the size, but I got planar glass from FT and AX recently. Eg, needed 31mm, decided to chance 32mm, and it fit perfectly.

Kaidomain has lenses too.
My A01 lens is shattered as well, I donā€™t want to play with glass particles to measure the sizeā€¦.not this week.
I think itā€™s about 12 mm but I donā€™t want to make an order based on measuring bezel IDā€¦

I just checked its 14mm so the 12mm might be okay?

so u can run a 10440 battery in this light or is there risk u fry the driver?

The glass is 14 or the bezel is 14?

I measured the glasss as 14mm with a ruler

Awesome. Thank you!

Did you see the link I posted?

I did. Thatā€™s what I ordered. Hope it works. Thanks lightbringer.

In my plastic caliper the Astrolux A01 Glass seems like 13.5mm

Thank you both for the measurements. :slight_smile: I wonder is the maker changed the lens at some pointā€¦
I fail to find a 13.x mm lens anyway so I think that a 14 mm one is the best bet. It can be filed if too largeā€¦though I hate filing.
I see the same diameter also available from KD, in 1.5 and 1.6 mm thicknesses. But much more expensive. I think Iā€™ll go with fasttech (and BLF coupon which shaves 9 cents off the price) :slight_smile:
