Iāve only had a chance to try it out once, but to my eyes, my MF-01 Nichia has to be putting out at least 10k lumens at startup (maybe more). Itās plenty bright, although it is a little warmer than I expected for some reason. Overall, itās a very nice light.
Yeah, thatās the post I remember. Itās the only actual number I remember hearing about. So you guys are thinking the Nichia version is doing closer to 10k or 11k?
No one knows if his light is working properly or how accurately his light meter reads neutral white lights.
I just received my nichia light and have only used it a little with protected cells. Compared to my 4000+ lumen mountain bike setup and my MT07 thereās no way its only making 7000 lumens. Judging by how slowly itās heating up in turbo switching to good unprotected cells will bump up the output even more.
My lightās completely awesome, smaller and brighter than I was expecting.
There will be some changes made to the MF-01 driver, to eliminate uneven brightness issues that a handful users have experienced with the units. We need to address to it before we could resume MF-01 sale.
I feel that the driver could be the issue with my MF-01. The inital problem was uneveness in one bank, before becoming a continuous Turbo issue with the same bank. In very brief testing, I have been able to get it to operate as it initially did. However, after only one cycle through the modes, the bank returns to itās current constant Turbo state.
So, my lightās issue does no appear to be grounding/shorting, as JasonWW speculated. Just a more extreme case of the driver issue.
I have yet to receive any further communication from BG. So, I continue to waitā¦and wait, and wait, and wait.
Forgive me, all. Iām really not trying to be a buzzkill on here. Itās just that itās a little more than frustrating that after a week, my MF-01 still sits idle, and I still have no resolution for my light.
What did Banggood say? Did they want you to send the light back for repair? Did they offer you a partial refund and you keep the light? Have they ignored you?
You have an interesting device. Thank you for posting :+1:
Compared to sunlight, 219C seems to be higher in color temperature.
Peopleās eyes get used to it, so it looks different from the one you see at night at different impressions.
The last valid response from BG, is that that they had contacted the MFG and were waiting for a reply. Freeme stated that the head of the MF-01 project would contact me soon, but that was two days ago.
