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

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?

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).

Please send me a code, thank you!

Sst40 version is about 8-9 depending on the cell used. This is when fully charged. It could even be a bit less if using a weaker cell.

Osram 1mm2 white flat would be nice!

Are codes still available for the Ft03?

Definitely would buy the SBT-90.2 version. Would gladly pay the money for the more expensive led, and I think most people would also.

I would pay for a SBT-90.2 version.

Make it happen!

It has been 2 weeks been using FT03 SST40 5700K. I am very happy with the result. The first Astrolux brand I’ve own and first long throw light. This is a must own. Here what I’ve found very interesting feature about this light.

*Battery check and telling you by no. Of flash
*Lock-out manually by loosening the tailcap or electronics lockout
*Standby green switch, it felt like it always remind you to always turn your flashlight in lock out mode.
*Thermal dissipation so far very good no problem in 2min. I think it has to do with thermal mass bcos it has no deep fins on head

Ft03 is not suitable for near/close range. Spot is really intense if you used high mode for close distant. But to add an edge how to properly used Ft03, used headlamp that has large spill area or used another flood flashlight. In my case I used convoy s12 on my oher hand. It will give very comfortable environment when walking. Often, I dont walk when I light on Ft03 and just stand still. Trust me it not intend for walking flashlight.

Ok that just my own opinion.

code please

Would appreciate a code. Thank you

It is on sale right now for $31.99 no code needed.

When it’s on sale, codes do not work. If you want to save $2 you have to wait for the sale to end.

…something like that?
…with adhesive aluminum tape?
…so?

Yes, I really like this type of switch light. I gifted some Sofirn C8F’s last Christmas and those switches light up only when you turn the light on and even then only for 5 seconds. Such a solution is a waste of the LED’s, in my opinion, as they neither help you locate the switch with the light turned on nor help you locate the light with the light turned off. I gave one to my father and the switch light annoys me every time I happen to use it.

I physically lock out the FT03 on the shelf, so the switch light doesn’t operate all the time. The switch light doesn’t consume much power, though, and some people probably leave it on to help locate the light in a dark room, but I agree that the green switch encourages or reminds the user to physically lock out the light. I keep my FT03 in its holster, so there’s no reason to leave the switch light on.

This light is actually pretty low on mass, but that’s one reason it’s inexpensive. The FT03 is known to heat up pretty quickly compared with other lights its size, but I never have a problem with heat. I don’t use turbo for long periods of time, though, and mostly use high (top of ramp) unless I’m wanting maximum distance.

Yes, the FT03 SST40 is not a flood light, but I walk with it almost every night. For me, the spill is fine for lighting the ground ahead. I tend to prefer throwy lights as bright flooders seem to have more suppression of my night vision. In fact, I see no purpose for super-bright flooders that produce a “wall of light”, other than showing off to friends, as those lights produce a super high-contrast scene with only a over-lit near-field area and entirely dark far-field and peripheral.

The FT03 XHP50.2 might be more to your liking as it’s brighter and floodier while still shooting a good distance. At sale or coupon prices, it’s not unreasonable to own both :wink: . These are superb budget lights for people that prefer a more “classic” flashlight size and shape or who just want better runtime than 18650 tube lights. Though there’s not a Muggle mode, anyone can learn to use this light as the basic controls are intuitive. If switched to stepped grouping, pretty much anyone can use the FT03 without instructions other than “don’t shine it in anyone’s eyes.”

The Astrolux EC01 is also a great budget light and will fit into smaller pockets than the FT03. If you don’t want the XHP50.2 in the FT03, you might try that emitter in the EC01. I intend to get one, eventually.

Code please.

colored FT03 preorder has started.

Is there a way to calibrate the sensor/set the temp limit on narsil? I ran it at full ramp and it stepped down after about 5 minutes and it was only warm. Maybe like 40 degrees. I think the button top cell not making proper contact is what’s causing the problem. When the spring gets hot the driver also does and it starts to step down. That’s what it seems like anyway.
