For some reason the pink aux LEDs in my MF01S stopped working when in low aux mode. The pink aux LEDs work correctly in high/blinking modes only. The green and blue aux colors work correctly in low/high/blinking modes. The batteries are fully charged and a power cycle didn’t fix the issue. Has anyone else experienced any issues with the aux LEDs in their MF01S? Has anyone tried adjusting the aux trimmers in their MF01S?
I plan on contacting Banggood if I am unable to troubleshoot/fix it myself.
It’s possible the pink leds need a bit more current to operate than the other colors. I’d tweak the D2 trimmer.
I agree. Try playing with the trimmers on the aux board. The one controlling the pink leds may be set too low or something. Not sure which trimmer though…
The trimmers are labeled. Just match it to the led.
High is the green led
Low is the red led
D1 is the blue led
D2 is the pink led
Freeme, could you please ask if all MF01S are still manufactured with SST-20 4000K FD2 bin?
I tried my molicel p28a batteries in the carrier along with the short tube from my MF04S. I was able to align the batteries and after some use I checked the voltage to compare discharge numbers. All of my batteries were the same voltage, I used the old and new lii 500 to confirm.
How is the 6500K with sst-20? Thinking of getting that one.
The 6500k is blue on high, kinda green on low. Super bright.
Is there any danger in using two heads on a short tube?
Super bright is ok by me for this type of light, thanks.
My 5000k has a yellow tint almost all the way up to turbo.
Can you confirm that 6500K uses the SST-20?
Man, 5000K is too yellow and 6500K is too blue. Maybe they need to offer a 5700K?
5000K usually show no yellow at all. With a 5A or 5D tint, I never see any yellow. I read the SST-20 is far above the BBL. I’ve seen a few 5000K that has yellow tint and it is due to positive DUV along with tint shift at the corona.
Would be nice if Lumintop can find some 5000K SST-20 with negative DUV. I will definitely add it to my collection.
I’m not sure how to confirm if the 6500k is using SST-20’s.
Newb question. Is there a way to identify which led my flashlight has by looking at them?
It sure isn’t an XP-G3. Thanks
Usually. It’s easier if your trying to decide between 2 models, like a Cree XP-G3 or a Luminus SST-20.
Here is an SST-20.
Here is an XP-G3.
If you have no idea what it is, then it’s tougher. Most folks here can identify the more common leds by sight, but if it’s odd or really old it can be quite dificult. Here is a reference guide.
Post a picture if you have one along with all the info you have such as the model of flashlight and how old it is.
If you mean identify the tint, then no. It’s a lot more complicated. Warmer tints tend to have a darker yellow or orange looking die while cooler tints have a lighter yellow die. It helps to shine it on a white wall. To know exactly the tint requires a special device that can sample the light output and analyze it.
Anyone know how they managed to get the MF01S to throw so far and bright considering the reflector size is so small? I always thought a large reflector was needed to throw like that. I'm sure I was not the only one blown away at how far this light can throw and with such intensity.
