While looking around banggood.com, I came across this Astrolux A01 Nichia 219B 1xAAA flashlight. It has low, med, high, and strobe. They claim a max of 102 lumens and a 90 CRI. Sounds pretty good for $10, except you have to wait for the slow boat from China to get it.
Does anyone have this, or know if this is some kind of clone of some other light?
Well spoil the surprise, I was going to do a review on this when I get it in… It is on its way and I am thinking a good review should be followed with a group buy if it looks good…
Good find, I think their web department is a bunch of workaholics…
Paul321, ReManG: Wow, good find. The outside sure does look similar to the Manker Boney. One difference I did spot is that the Astrolux has a keyring/lanyard hole at the tail end.
Anything with a lens will have a tough time being that tough, this 5mm LED’s are much harder to break than a glass lens…. different lights for sure, so not a good thing to compare these lights except in size… This has modes for instance. I am of course hoping it is a tough little booger, but the abuse the E01 can take is huge…
ReManG, is this the Manker Boney ver. 2.0 you was talking in another thread, right?
With a GB I think we can buy it for around 6/7$ (without any kind of modification). Another win/win situation!
