I updated my post.
Now keep in mind that we don’t know if the MF02 head will have the same size and threads as the mf01, but it’s reasonable to assume it will.
I think it’s already been said that the MF02 will use the same 6v battery carrier as the mf01 along with a boost driver to get the 12v.
So in theory you could run a mf01 head on one end and a MF02 head on the other and both should work.

Love the dual headed light….too bad the combo is more expensive than I’d like….
ADDED:
Though the real deal breaker is the lack of intermediate beam.
A mix of probably the floodiest flooder around and nearly the throwiest of throwers.
I guess one would need a third light to do the most of the duty.

I never considered the MF01 to be floody. It’s just a big hotspot with really weak spill.
Then the MF02 is a small hotspot with weak spill.
What would an intermediate light be? The Q8?

MF-01 has 4.5 cd/lm.
Q8 is 10 cd/lm.
MF02 has 240 cd/lm.
120 cd/lm would still be a dedicated thrower.
What would be the best middle light? 20 cd/lm? 30?

Okay. My L6 has a 22 cd/lm and I’d say it’s pretty good for my purposes.
I say forget trying to make one light do everything. Just get you three separate lights. That’s what I carry, a small, a medium and a large.

When do you think they will ship. I really don’t see any need need in putting them up for sale until they are near ship time.
Edit: Just looked at the arrival date to BG, October 24.

If it’s not too late would like to be on the list, but it really does come down to price. Any ball park figure?

Wow, I didn’t even know it was up on banggoods website yet. Here is a link.
Astrolux MF02 XHP35 HI 2700Lumens Long Range Searching LED Flashlight 1697M

They seem to have even bumped up the specs as far as Lumen output and range.

It’s still very early so plenty on time to get on the list.
The price was said earlier to be close to the MF01, but maybe a little higher. This large reflector really adds a big extra cost to manufacture.

That’s what they are claiming. 2700 lumen as well. That’s really pushing that xhp35. We will have to wait and see what the real specs are.
Personally, I don’t care if it does 1690m or 1400m, that’s good enough for me, especially at this lower price point.
