Seems to be a 2xAA light (at least thats what i hope). No further information until now.

instagram links require an account.

You sure? I don’t have an account and I can see them.

Me too (no account, can see them).

Now I can see the pics, but earlier it was asking me to log in, and I don't have an Instagram account.

This is a great shape for a flashlight, hope to see 2*14500 and 2*18650 (2*XHP50) versions
But for sure there will be a cold light (CW)

do that in 4000k no green tint and I`ll buy that now! it`ll look great next to my T02 :slight_smile:

I hope this is a 2x14500 flashlight :wink:
After having the RovyVon E200 with a similar shape I realized I may like the “box-shaped” flashlights :innocent:

Its officially up on their website.

“Built-in 2,400 mAh lithium polymer battery” :weary:

Aw darn, that’s not what I was hoping for! I’ve seen a lot of users here express interest for a 2xAA light in that format.
At least it comes in a 4000K LH351D variant, but a non-replaceable battery would be a hard sell for me.

It’s a bit hit or miss with the tint. Hopefully the LH351D 4000K are less green than the ones used in the E14III NW.

I like a lot of things about this, but the built in battery is not one of them

hm a keychain light that does 2000 lumens and built in battery? kinda too expensive and not needed…

Kinda bulky for a ‘pocket light’?
But what do I know, I pocket carry a d4v2.

Shame about the battery.

So, just a little comparison from overal specs with an eventual (yet different) competitor, the RovyVon E200u/s:

Well, being a bit bulkier than the E200u I have, it loses a bit of swag, but the in terms of brightness and overal runtimes, it regains some more!
It still seems a nice EDC light, actually!
I might try it :smiley:

Is anyone thinking about getting one of these ML03?

I am on the fence… Right now there is a store in AliExpress selling them “cheaper” and with an 11.11 code, it comes even lower to around 37€

Despite this I am not sure about getting one :zipper_mouth_face:

“- Built-in 2,400 mAh lithium polymer battery”

Aaaaand they just spoiled it entirely!

I was literally going on there just to buy it, and then I saw that :frowning:

If I may ask, is that due to:
a) the type of battery (chemistry)?
b) the mAh of the battery (capacity)?
c) the built-in situation (replaceability)?

C kills it for most of us. At that price point I personally don’t want a throw away light.
