It looks for me, that these two flashlights have some common parts. At least the Bezel, reflector, switch-ring and the USB-C Port Cover.
The Switch of the EC01 looks strongly as on my Sofirn C8F.
I think they came from the same factory.
Sofirn has their own factory, but does make lights for other companies.
Astrolux is a brand by Banggood and they have had their lights made from a few different factories. Lately a lot are from Mateminco.
Keep in mind these factories mainly focus on the cnc machining and assembly. Things like bezels, switch covers, reflectors, port covers, etcā¦ are bought from outside suppliers (sometimes custom speced, but off the shelf parts are cheaper).
So while itās possible the EC01 came from Sofirns factory, I think the odds are that it didnāt. More than likely they just happen to use some similar looking parts.
Also, manufacturers usually donāt like giving out info on who built their light. Itās considered a secret.
One way to find out, does the Mateminco store carry a version of the EC01 under their name? If so, then they where built by 2 different companies. If they donāt, then we are still in the dark.
Sofirn actually makes the EC01 ;)
Cool, now we know that Mateminco is not their only supplier. This makes things more complicated. :confounded: Lol.
I probably should have looked at the specs instead of just the pictures. Mateminco has never put out a light with Anduril.
Of cause: Mateminco MT07 (MF01Mini) , MT18S (MF01S). At least these have Anduril. The Drivers are from @Lexel, I think. The Aux-Boards are definetly designed by Lexel.
Oh yeah, Iām not thinking so well. Lexel did design the drivers for those 2 Mateminco products. Iāll edit my above post.

So it is confirmed! I have been suspecting that for some time alreadyā¦
However, one unknown is which Anduril version is used on the EC01? It appears to be using some older Anduril firmware version (at least compared to the Anduril firmware that are used on the MF01S/MF01-Mini or FW3A/EDC18, which has gained the new Anduril functions like factory reset).

Yeahā¦ I suspected the EC01 was made by Sofirn when I received in early Sept with the identical white battery sleeve/adaptor with the C8G.
On top of that, at about the same time or before, Sofirn abandon the AT35 project with diamond cut body when the EC01 diamond cut body came. Lolā¦
Now we more or less know Sofirn made EC01.
@JasonWW, Haikelite made FT04?
Wow, I forgot all about that light. Martin said Astrolux was working with Haikelite to make the FT04. I donāt know if Haikelite has their own shop to cnc the bodies or if they farm it out to another company, though.
Nice to know. :+1:
The code comes up expired when I try to use it on the select flashlights listed.
