At aliexpress, 219C also enters the cart.
Time sale is over in 3 hours.
I do not know whether it will be back orders or cancellation.

All existing stocks are sold out, so we should expect the new batch to be upgraded version.

What is different in the upgraded version?

got my Nichia light tonight and im really happy with it :smiley:

now bring on the MF02 and i’ll smack bang x2

This is cheap and in stock. Considering this. This must be the first version right?

What you could try is to cover the rods with black heat shrink tubing. It will look factory and give a less grippy feel.

You have to tell us what “this” is. I don’t know what your asking.

Ops! Sry I was talking about the aliexpress deal.

at least: same new battery tube as on the MF02: ENEDED
perhaps there are some other changes, but that have to be answered by freeme.

I thought I had answered this same question a few days ago, but that was on the Q8 thread. Oops.

Okay, so the Aliexpress store Elfeland is Banggoods store. They do not have any in stock even though they say they do. Dont be fooled. They will take your money and then wait until they get the lights, then ship them out just like Banggood. When they do ship them it will be the newer version just like the Banggood store will ship.

My 30Qs are shrink wrapped, and it’s already a tight fit (not too tight; it’s a nice fit).
I suddenly wonder with all these different flashlights with battery carriers, to what extend you can lego these rods with slightly different lengths to accommodate different cell types…

Thanks for the great reply :slight_smile:
Is there any ETA on the new version?

I wonder if the rubber coating can be removed? You could sand or scrape it off. Put in an a drill and hold sandpaper to it. Get it to bare metal then add the heatshrink. Just a thought.

Oh why not. But I personally don’t think it’s worth the effort; it’s not too big of a deal the way it is now. The way I need to remove the cells is a minor inconvenience, and I’ve already figured out a special “technique” so to speak to do so. It’s really more feedback how this product can easily be improved. And it’s also these little things you don’t read about that I would like to share with the community. It’s a bit of a geek thing of course, hehe.

Now we know the price:
79.-USD

Not the best offer, I think. What do you think?

Besides: only the Cree is available right now.

For 6 dollars more you can also get it at Ali…
For me there is no need to hurry right now.
I think I will wait for first reviews…

Maybe I am a little bit price sensitive…
For 49.- I would probably have bought 2 right away… :wink:

LOL 49 bucks

- Update 2017/9/27 -

I checked output with cell voltage of 30Q = 3.67V
Ceiling bounce test compared to M43 shows that MF-01 actually produces less in turbo than M43! Turbo output of M43 is constant as a function of cell voltage until about 3.5V.
MF-01 at V = 3.67V has turbo output of about 6250 lumens. Level 4 (=high) output produces about 3800 lumens.

What do other 11k-12k lumen lights sell for?

The old presales price was realy better. For this price I will buy no further MF01 with the other LEDs. I will wait for better price.
And till the german election the Euro is going down. :cry: Before it was on a good point near 1.20USD.
