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

Looks good. This is how the light is meant to be.

Gasket is an old work access card I sanded back, drilled a hole in, and cut to size.

Would love if Astrolux would sell spare gaskets, given that they sell replacement reflectors…. :weary:

I don’t think you need the gasket just cover the wires with electrical tape? Seeing as the reflector sits so low now it will work fine. You could even put tape over the whole board if it helps you sleep better lol. The gasket must be less than 1mm thick i think my washer was thicker.

Why didn’t i think of that earlier lol its just a nylon washer lol. What about if you buy some M20 nylon washers?

Okay i am back to update my thesis i found some M24 nylon washers they seem to be the closest common sized nylon washers. I will see if i can find some cheaper ones.

Main reason I want a new gasket is for proper centering - I’ve noticed that as I screw the bezel back on the reflector floats around a bit, would be nice to lock it in, like how the flipped-up bits on the stock one does. Or maybe I need to get one made like this by somewhere good (found a few places with good printers, the one at work isn’t so good):

This seller has M14 washers which are 14mm inner diameter so a bit big but the outer diameter is 22mm so close to stock and its 1.2mm thick. Seeing as they come in a pack of 10 you could get a second one and cut a ring out and create a ridge on another washer by melting them or gluing them together? You could even glue in another washer of a smaller size to make the inner diameter correct.

Sounds like a fair bit of work lol.

Is there possibility to order a spare glass? As it seems the supplied one is not the thickest one, would like to have one extra just in case.

Hello everyone, i am new member here and i would like to buy this flashlight. Is there any possibility to buy it for 29.99 now or not? Thanks

Freeme has a post over here with a request section: https://www.1thedeals.com/product/astrolux-ft03-sst40-w-2400lm-narsilm-v1-3-usb-c-21700-flashlight/

Spare o-rings is always nice :slight_smile: thanks for the pics!

Edit:: pics were moved to the bezel thread

Slightly greasing the o’ring can help with installation :slight_smile:

Oopise, sorry! Moved the post to the FT03 SS bezel thread, post here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/56495/170

My light did not come with the instructions. What is the discreet mode level? If I changed into that mode instead of ramping, will I get turbo in the mode sequence? I would just like turbo to be top of ramp or in the mode sequence to I can have brightest mode with a single click from off. Is this possible with this light?

I think it’s possible in mode sets, but not ramping.

You can also set the modes to reverse order so 100% will be first and it cycles lower.

If you turn off memory, 100% will always be 1 click.

I don’t have the instructions for this light either, maybe someone can post it or link to it.

Would make a PDF but on mobile :slight_smile:

I implemented the top of ramp being less than max on request, but I don't use it myself. I'm not sure why it was used on this light, guess TA had his reasons.

From OFF, dbl click will get to full max though - Anduril doesn't work that way.

Replied.

I have placed the order, thank you freeme!

Just making sure that subscribers of this thread know about the potential holster HERE. I didn’t notice it at first.

I’d like the code

Thanks for the instruction manual. I changed the ramping to mode sets. But I don’t like that ui so I changed it back. It’s like having a forward clicky but with a side switch. Kinda funny to have to click each time to change modes. And you can’t change modes after the first initial couple seconds.
