FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX FT03S SFH55 9300lm & FT03 SFT40 2200lm 1300m NarsilM v1.3 USB-C - ALIVE

Thanks for the link. In this review i see that the driver have the programming key pins! :open_mouth:

Or Yandex translator :wink:

Not bad beamshot, but is probably less than 2000 lumens compared to the T30,

Superb review that translates quite well with google translation.

Looks like a fantastic light, can’t wait to receive my 2 NW someday.

In that review it shows 6.54A in the clamp meter and at that current in the djozz SST-40 test its’s around 2100 lm but it’s not OTF lumens.

I deleted chrome so i can’t get a good translation . Can i use Mozilla to translate the page?

Does the reviewer mention the reflector size?

Usually you subtract about 10 mm from the head diam for the reflector ID, could be higher to bout 12 mm or so. Some lights do it to maximize the reflector ID, some are notoriously bad about it, if you've seen those reflectors with the wide rim. The top end view pic in the OP looks average, not great -- I'd guess about 11-12 mm subtracted form the head diam. Usually you can go thinner with an SS bezel, then of course you got room to go wider with the reflector. Bugs the heck out of me when a so called thrower doesn't maximize the reflector ID.

I didn’t see it, the head is 0.5cm less than the T30 if you could find that light’s reflector size

That's sort of bad news - head diam is 69.5 mm, T30 is 70.0 mm, so if the reflector ID is 5 mm smaller than the T30, than you lose an extra 4.5 mm. The T30 though does appear to have a narrower SS bezel, shown here: http://www.acebeam.com/t30

I placed my order when they had around 200 sold,i wonder when will they ship my NW version?Alsoi didn’t get any email.

I ordered after 800. I hope the new 2020 I will receive my order.

Humanity no longer knows patience and anticipation. :person_facepalming:

I would be glad if it arrives until Easter. :partying_face:

But it would not be that bad, if not. :sunglasses:

I am the 1001st buyer, according to the counter, and ordered neutral white. So,… :laughing: :question:

I can wait. Just hope there are no issues holding it up or we end up being the test dummies.

I really wanted mine in silver.

That’s why I think I understand it wrong….

Will 0.5mm make such a difference?

Post #1048 said 0.5 cm, not mm, so that's 5 mm. 5 mm will make a substantial difference.

Wow wow wow, easy with the metric units guys !
Freedom units or GTFO :-p

Well, since the T30 has a MSRP of 195$ and the FT03 is 27$ I think 5mm less of head diameter is acceptable. Lol

True - another alternate of similar size is the Amutorch JM70 w/XPL HI. I got 2 of these - slightly bigger head diam at 72 mm. The JM70 can really throw... One I got is fully modded up, does 327 kcd w/stock XPL HI LED but DEL FET+1 driver running NarsilM. The JM70's though require some modding, but can be bought on discount.

This FT03 should do as good or close with a XPL HI upgrade. Just nice to have FET based Attiny85 driver out of the box, hoping modding is easy.

My JM70 does 420kCd with a 2mm² WF and a TA FET driver… but I don’t buy the FT03 for the same use, it’s more an all around thrower and the integrated charging is a big plus !
