Got my Astrolux FT03 today. OMG

There was a sale that ended 7/19 I think. I bought two, still waiting on one.

Check out the bottom pic. $25.99 Chaselight from Amazon. The throw rivals the L6 and the FT03. It takes 2 X 26650 to do it, but they come with the light. It has a nice white color output.

Wonder how that compares with, say, a P30 and/or GTmini…

Or a Cometa, for that matter.

I just found this coupon which gets the price down to about $36. BGFT03X
Now my only problem is I can’t decide whether to buy the 50.2 or the SW40 which is also available in CW version for the same price. If it was NW it would be a no brainer. Anybody have a suggestion?

I went with the HP50. Rated for higher light output.

The banner on top just showed a FT03 for 31,99 now, when using code AFT03

That code did not work for me. $49.95

I bought both in the flash sales, and so far the sst40 has shown up, and it’s damn impressive.
plenty of useable spill (for me) and it’s a pretty nice thrower, nice sized hotspot in the longer distances. I’ll need to take it out soon and actually test it for the main reason i bought it - rabbit/fox hunting on my parents property, rather than terrorizing my neighbors haha
Not sure if i even needed the 50.2 but we’ll see when it gets here (The longer turbo times will be better for me than the extra output, but i’ll hold off until i actually get to use both)

Which version? Might be it’s limited to the SST40 only

Thought dawn was just breaking in your last picture,
with the Chaselight. LOL

Pretty bright (can make out “Hamza-3”, and “Hamza-4”, in your original picture).

Lights up the background house (seems they may just have turned their house lights on, Dawn?) , like the FT03, in Turbo.

Nice price/prize!

Coupon Code for Chaselight?

Why? Just why are you enabling another flashlight purchase? I purchased a few recently and I really don’t need another right now. Why must you do this?

I get that all the time. They will make great gifts at the price I got them for. I will wind up keeping 1 of each. Maybe both of the 5000K SST-40’s just because the emitter is so hard to get.

Try this code:BGFT03X
It works for me but only on the XPL 50. You’ll get it for $36.

180 degrees off LOL. It was just after sunset.
No one lives in the houses, so no lights were just turned on or off.
You want a coupon for a $25 light?

I am told there is a coupon for every light, so being in a budget forum,
Figured I would ask. :innocent:

Guess I will opt for a FT-03…

To many lites, not enuf pock-it’s, this endeavor is gonna break my belt, & enlighten
Me pockets. Haha

Any Canadians have any suggestions on where to source 26650 batteries for this light? I’m new to this whole flashlight world and would appreciate some pro tips!! Thanks!

Could someone with both versions of the FT - 03 post comparison beamshots of the two :+1: , please?

Post #310 on this thread has them side by side

Thanks, hope the OP doesn’t mind if it is posted here for others to appreciate

Left is the newer version, XHP-50

You can have an opinion on what is more useful/impressive to you but it is hard fact that those other lights put out more light and exceed the FT03 in other areas. For a high power thrower the FT03 is an almost unbeatable value though, the only real competition being the Catapult V6 IMO (boost driver and some other advantages, but less throw for a higher price).

Personally I rarely have use for a dedicated thrower and have put frosted lenses or diffusion film on my big-lumen lights, still plenty of range due to the sheer output. Just different tools for different jobs! :+1:
