1. What Astrolux light you ever bought? A01, S1, S2, S3, SC, S41. My closet is full of little brown boxes.
2. Which light you like best? S2 or S3. Great UI, tint, brightness, throw; they look good, not too expensive, and I love the lighted tail.
3. Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights? I’ve been happy with most of my lights and I think where Astrolux has done great is listening to users, using BLF software, and offering very good prices. A customizable user interface is really the only way to please almost everyone. I’d still like to see versions of the lights I have with an interface where you can choose the number of modes and the brightness of each mode (for instance with 4 modes on the S2, I really want a level between Low and Medium).
My first Astrolux light is MF 01 and have preordered MF 02 and am looking forward to getting it.
Nice looking lights, great machining, solid light. I have only had the MF 01 for two weeks but I like it.

1- What Astrolux light you ever bought?
S41, A01-Cu (3x)
2- Which light you like best?
S41, put plastic washers under the screws of the led-board to prevent incidents and the light has never let me down
3- Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights
There used to be a Manker Boney, that looked very much like the A01.
I would like to see a similar, but AA-sized, light with a vampyr- or Joule-thief driver.
What Astrolux light you ever bought? S1,S2, S3, S41, S42, MF01, MF02
Which light you like best? So far MF01 Nichia, close second S2 and S42
Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights (link is external) (Products, shipping methods, features, after sale, returns or other policies and so on):
1. I have never received the promised battery tube for S42, tried to contact customer support, but got meaningless answer and gave up.
2. Be honest and/or precise with the quoted lumens and lux measurements - i.e. example is 3000 lumen for Astrolux MF02 NW
3. Since you have removed “Leave message to seller” field in the checkout, you have lost a lot of purchases from my side.
4. I have paid BlitzWolf® BW-L3 28W charger on Sep 7th, it is still not shipped and status is “Coming soon” - why do you sell products, that are not ready to hit the market?
MF-01. A01 too (nice for a keychain) , but MF-01 is first
Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights:
A01 - remove “next mode memory” or just make it a ‘last mode memory’. PWM - if really needed - could be higher frequency.
MF01 - add some cooling fins. Modes could be better planned (in v2 ~3000lm turbo is pretty nice, probably can hold all time in cold/rainy weather, but 70-700-1100?… could be 70-500-1500-3000-turbo).
maybe a thicker ledboard? the middle is heating much faster than outside…
1. S41 nichia, MF01 nichia
2. S41 for the forward/reverse mode cycles, MF01 for brightness.
3. Improve drivers’ components quality. Improve UI by using BLFers’ firmwares more often.
N.B. Nichia of the MF01 first version were better than those of the MF01 with newer driver.
1. What Astrolux light you ever bought? None yet ( I have the BLF A6)
2. Which light you like best? S41 looks nice
3. Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights? Would be fun to see a 40 000 lumens light anytime soon
Snapped-up the Astrolux MH10 and pre-ordered the Astrolux K1 (Nichia), both have not yet arrived though.
2. Which light you like best?
I’m using the Astrolux S1 (3D neutral-white tint) most of the time (good size and light output, plus can change to the shorty 18350 tube if I need it to be smaller).
The Astrolux S2 (3B neutral white tint) is also nice with the advanced Bistro firmware, plus has a bit more throw (though it’s a bit heavier and bigger for EDC).
3. Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights (Products, shipping methods, features, after sale, returns or other policies and so on)
I would like to suggest bundling the batteries inside the flashlight (Samsung 30Q or Panasonic 3500mAh GA), since BG does not ship batteries to my country — but it might be possible to have batteries shipped inside the flashlight (I also have the BLF A6, which I ordered because that’s the only way I could get the Samsung 30Q battery, which for several weeks (prior to getting my other batteries), I’ve been shuffling back and forth with my various flashlights).
I have since been able to purchase a few Samsung 30Qs from AliExpress, but after purchasing the batteries, that AliExpress seller has also stopped shipping to my country, so I likely will not be able to get any more genuine batteries. (I bought LG HG2 from a local shop, but they are lower-capacity, possibly non-genuine).
I purchased five Astrolux A01 and only three function. I am unable to get a hold of Banggood customer service because they don’t accept the order number printed on my receipt as valid. Terrible way to do business.
What Astrolux light you ever bought? – I’ve no Astrolux light yet.
Which light you like best? — S41 from what i’ve seen looks really nice
Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights (link is external) — cant comment anything for sure until i got my first astrolux light. just keep doing what you think is best.
1. BLF A6, S41 and S41S.
2. I EDC the S41S with Nichia 219B.
3. See below:
3a. Quality control. One of my Astrolux lights arrived with a broken switch, and another with a defective driver. Easily fixed with spare parts I have on hand anyway, but still annoying.
3b. I’d like to see a Nichia 219C 90CRI 5000K LED with an 8×7135 Biscotti driver in an Astrolux S1 host. I think that would be a really nice high-CRI EDC light, with a narrower beam profile for the times when the S41’s very floody beam profile doesn’t reach far enough.
3c. I’d love to see long 3×AA tubes for the Astrolux S1, S41 and S41S. 3×AA have roughly the same voltage as 1×Li-Ion, so nothing else would need to change.
Unfortunately only the A-01 which is still in the mail, unless you count the BLF A6, which is the S1.
Which light you like best?
BLF A6 is still the best value in my collection, it is the most intuitive and a very impressive and versatile performer.
Any comments or suggestions to Astrolux lights
