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.
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.
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.
One ordered - would have liked to add a few more - but demand of life keeps it real. Thank you for the code freeme - looking forward (very much!) to receipt of my third real flashlight (and first thrower).
