Review: Astrolux S1 3D Flashlight

Hi.
I have a Astrolux S1 and I have put in it a “20mm 15 Degree Cree XM-L LED Lens” turning it to a more throw capable light.
So I ask if there is a more narrow beam optic for the same light.

Lens (TIR optic) will have less throw than reflector.

Are these rubber caps the same on the S1?

Are these rubber caps the same fit as the S1? LED Taschenlampe Leucht Silicon Taster Hats Sale - Banggood Deutschland-arrival notice-arrival notice

At work at the moment but will remind myself to check the dimensions of the cap tonight and respond.

Checking the spare switch cap supplied with the S1, the dimensions are approximately

14mm(cap diamater)x 18mm(Brim diameter)x 7mm(cap height) x 8mm(total height)

This is the right size :

Order them , they are very nice …

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I appreciate it.

I am having a hard time switching from turbo to strobe, i am still not used to its UI. :frowning:

I received my second Astrolux S1 today which I was buying as a present, oddly enough it came in a brown box instead a black box like my first one. I thought I would test it and to my disappointment it does not fit the protected cells I have. It appears the wall on the tube is thicker in the newer one, it also had a slightly more matt finish.

This really annoys me as I had originally ordered the Astrolux S2 based on my satisfaction of the S1 and S3 only to find it did not fit protected cells and now it appears the same has happened to the S1.

I do have a couple Keeppower that fit but most of my cells are protected Panasonics. Has anyone else ran into the problem of cells not fitting?

Can you tell me what is wrong with this picture? … BG says this is not possible.
I am such a trickster I’ll tell ya, now how could I have made a BLF part thread onto a Astro S1, simple really.
Please send video, or picture and sorry for your inconvenience, geez if I ever hear that again I think I’ll crook.
Big time quality control issues, and one nicely blown up light with one click of the switch.

What it should look like:

dumb question but that state flow diagram shows no way to turn it off
how do you turn it off?

Push the button full press and release to turn off
Simple reverse clicky switch

I bought a short black one couple hours ago with “2016FNL” coupon for € 15.68

new questions:
( i have one now )

1. can it use primary lithiums ? {CR-123A - goal would be to run it down to zero, not stop at 2V }

2.

I can’t wait to receive mine ! after watching a bunch of reviews , I ordered the short blue one + a black extension tube !

it’s nice, but who the @#$ has 18350 batteries?
:slight_smile:
you can also use 16340s, they fit

trying to decide what to get, how do the best 16340s compare to the best 18350s?

I have just received my S1, what I have bought at BG’s clearance, and there are further improvements:

A double spring at the tailcap:

Spaces for tailcap leds maybe:

And two additional rings on the short tube (plus 2 in the bag, from which I had to use one because one on the long tube was torn)

i found out it does not use lithium primary cells well, it cuts off early, thinking it is a rechargeable…
plus they are not very bright either

It is a DD driver for high modes
For low mods 7135

It is not designed to be used with primaries.

For max brightness you need a 18650 high drain cell like
Samsung 18650-30Q
LG 18650 HG2
Sony VTC6

Also good cells
Samsung 18650-35E
Sanyo 18650GA
LG 18650MJ1
