Yeah, I hear you. I am not planning to run it particularly hard or anything. I just want to to A: Not kill itself the first time I go to Turbo and B: Last a long time.
(From all the posts I read, I realised I should not expect Olight quality/reliability, but then again, the output and price/performance is also a lot better with a light like this. (Not to mention the UI, looking forward to that a lot!) So just trying to give it the best chance at lasting I can)
Think I will probably do the clean and thermal paste. I am under the impression I would not need to de-solder any wires or anything to get the LED board lifted to do the repaste? (I hope that is the case!)
Will turn it on before doing anything, just not go to high/turbo.
Will try to take pics and document the process, maybe someone else here finds it interesting.
Not that I’ve seen. This light uses Anduril which means it will adjust itself up or down based on it’s temperature. Other lights this size using Anduril tend to average about three thousand to four thousand lumen continuous. Maybe an owner can give us a more accurate reading.
I am pretty sure that the thread is dead.
I am still waiting for the code myself from freeme, so I went ahead and bought the MF01S with batteries during the 9.9 sale. Diffuser and holster were bought seperately.
Do you realize that you are asking someone who posted that 9 months ago?
There is a big difference in brightness. 4000K is rated as 11000 lumens, while 5000K and 6500K are rated as 14000 and 15000 lumens respectively.
I just bought the 5000K version, much better tint than the MF01 mini 6500K (SST20x7) I have, no more green shift at low, its more yellow, than green. On the other hand, both flashlights pale in comparison to my Nichia 219c (astrolux s43).
Thank you for the information. I had the opportunity to compare personally. In fact, the 5000K seems a little brighter, but the 4000K CRI makes up for it. I choose 4000K.
The old code (bgmf01s) still works but gives a price of $89 on the BG international site. bg1128 code gives a lower price at $84. May be higher or lower depending on your site.
One of BG’s little tricks. Prices can vary greatly depending on which site you use. To change sites go to account settings.
