Sorry that I don’t know how to post pictures, but I want to share my thoughts of this light. Today I got the MF01 Nichia 219C in the mailbox and was very excited since estimated delivery is on the 10/26th.
Below is a very quick and short thoughts of this product (No pics so I will make this easy to read) :
-This flashlight is lighter than a bit smaller than I expected to be.
-The overall finishing is perfect on the body with no nicks or scratches anywhere outside!
-The tint is beautiful and smooth to my eyes!
-Provides very good floor and throw to my personal view and use
-Wish there is a lower mode but I can live without it too.
-I can feel the head heating up quick on turbo much quicker than my HaikeLite MT03 on turbo
-Button feels good and very easy to press
-Both flat top (VTC6) and button top (30Q) works perfectly, Sanyo slightly raised top I got some uneven draw when I put my battery in the charger.
This is from the 2nd wave or 2nd batch and I’ve been hearing people saying the first batch are measured between 7000~9000 lumens stock. I believe this new batch of Nichia is brighter than that, here is why I think that: I have a HaikeLite MT03 CW. And according to maukka’s review and some other reviews I saw with the MT03 they were measured above listed specs in real life; which some are getting 9000 to 10k lumens on stock.
Well… if that is true, my MF01 with 30Q BT new and fully charged is brighter than my MT03 with fully charged VTC6. I tested on both long and close up distances, MF01 is brighter and lit up much better, so bright that even covers the beam on MT03…(I am not sure if it has to do with tints and light temperatures, I just stacked both beams on the same wall for testing and fun purposes.)
I am very happy with this light but I can’t say which is my favorite light just yet until my Q8 coming in the next few days and play with it :sunglasses:
