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

Maukka say it 40 when in bulk…he say its cheap… :question:

Maukka said the led is $40 when bought in bulk? I’ve heard it’s about $30.

So you put a $30 led in a $30 something dollar light and Pow!, it might cost $60+. I don’t know for sure, just estimating.

Maybe he was just teasing, I think what his meant is expensive. haha

But hey, is better to let Astrolux known this sbt90.2 and as there already interest coming. You say $30. I know what you mean. That is price for ft03 with led sst40. without led it should be lower. My bestimated price is above the price of FT03 XHP50.2($36 with coupon). I think it should be around $60?? It expansive stuff but, if you think if they can made another light that really gonna outthrow FT03 by large margin possibly by 100% more output and throw…Boom! New trend and people buy. Remember, 4000lumen with 300kcd is new kind of thing. That just my $0.02. :disappointed:

Going to tell Lexel about this…

I wonder about the run times with SBT90G2 versus original SST40. Wouldnt it become an all out hotrod?

I bet we will see Skylumen start modding lights using the sbt-90.2 as soon as he gets his hands on some. It’s still a pretty new led.

Yes, with higher output comes higher amps, more heat and the battery runs down quicker. Simple physics. The FT03 with FET driver is already a hot rod. With high drain cells the SST-40 draws about 9A and the xhp50.2 draws about 16A. Who knows what the SBT-90.2 would draw?

I was estimating it would need to draw 30-35 amps to do 6300 lumen OTF. Battery choice will make a big difference with this led. A 30T might do those amps, while a Shockli 5500mah might only draw 20 amps. Something in that neighborhood.

I have not seen any output tests on this new led, but I’ve talked to folks with the Acebeam K75 and Texas_Ace about it (K75 is not delivering the rated lumens, probably due to it’s driver design, most likely a Buck driver). It’s pretty close to what an xhp70.2 would be (amperage and lumen wise) if it were 3v, had no dome and the die were slightly smaller.

Xhp70.2 has 4mm x 4mm die
Gen 1 SBT 90 has 3mm x 3mm die
I think the 90 in the name is die size related, sst40 is 2 x 2, so it stands to reason the gen 2 SBT 90 is still 3mm x 3mm (9 square mm).

PS, the xhp50.2 has a 3mm x 3mm die, but it has a dome and it does not draw as many amps as the SBT-90.2 can. This 90.2 has more output per mm. (Luminosity) which is why it throws so well.

Yh they will need to increase the thermal mass like in the MF01S. Probably increase the thickness of the LED shelf and add some cooling fins. Should do 4000+ lumens and 350+ kcd.

They don’t need to do that. It will work as is.

What your saying are some nice upgrades that will better handle the heat, but they may not want to redesign the light. Especially if they think sales will be low due to the higher price. We just have to wait and see.

I hope they go ahead with it whether they redesign the light or not. I wouldn’t mind paying even $80. The performance should be really close to a TN40 v2 which is bigger and costs much more. Also will be the same size as a T27 but with double the output.

Ordered, thanks!

Interested in SBT90G2 version.

We’re not sure if it’s happening yet. They’ll probably be a separate group buy for it if it does happen. BTW can someone make a poll so we can see how much interest there is and show it to Mateminco/Astrolux.

Please send codes for SST40 ft03

Thank you!

Please send codes for SST40 ft03
Thank you! :slight_smile:

Ordered 2 , Nice one!

Awesome. :THUMBS-UP:

Could I get the code please? Thank you :slight_smile:

Freeme did you ever ask about a FT03 with a flat white? Maybe now hank is making a new thrower they will consider making a FT03 with a flat white.

No, we didn't discuss about it. We only touched on the colored version this week.

can anyone tell me how many amps these pull in turbo?
