Got my Astrolux FT03 today. OMG

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:

The banner on top says $31.99 but when you click it, it comes up $36.99

That is, when you choose the USA warehouse
If you select CN warehouse and use code AFT03 it comes up 31,99

I used the code AFT03 and bought the FT03 Sw40 5700k version. Since this is a thrower I want the maximum throw. This will throw further. run cooler and run longer, which for me is a good trade off for the extra lumens of the 50.2. While it won’t have as much spill as the 50.2, I have other bright, floody lights,like the D4S for that, but none that will throw as far.

Tempted to get one of those, but,

I had to have one of every flavor… way before the 3v 50.2 came out, I modded one of mine with it and for throw I de-domed a few SST-40’s and well the throw….it is impressive…for a $32.00 light…

Anyone dedomed a XHP50.2 in this light yet?
I would think it would be comparable to the SST-40 then but with more lumens.

What would be the actual benefit?

Should be more lumen output than the 40 but about the same size hotspot.

Yeah I made a couple attempts….when the dome lifted so did the phosphorous…had a pretty decent one, then I dropped it, of course it landed face down, but I have yet to try the way I did the SST-40’s……

Just received mine. Terrific light! Performance similar to the L6 and love the built in charging.

One thing to note, mine shipped from Bang Good in Dubai and not China (?)

How long did it take to get to you?

About 20 days

SST40 or XHP50.2 ? :person_facepalming:
How is the best choose ? :smiley:

I have MF04 and Convoy L6 xhp70.2. But MF04 it’s to big. I’m not using it very much.
