ENEDED

Brand new batteries (1 cycle) fully charged. Effectively identical results, but a bit more than with the 25Rs, especially at 30 seconds.

VTC5A
0s: 8340 lm
30s: 7940 lm

VTC6
0s: 8320 lm
30s: 7950 lm

It’s Astrolux/Thorfire store according to this post

But Aliexpress store Elfeland = Astrolux
And Banggood = Astrolux
So Aliexpress store Elfeland = Banggood?

Thanks for confirming my own findings that VTC6 (or VTC5A) is the cell of choice for this light.

Aliexpress is not clear because there is no address or telephone number clearly written.
An announcement with MF01 8th October :star:

Yes to all.

Thorfire and Astrolux are flashlight brand names. Astrolux is the house brand name used for Banggood products.

Not everyone wants to buy directly from Banggood because you have to set up a special account just for them. But there are many thousands people already signed up to Aliexpress because they sell all kinds of stuff like clothes and jewelry, etc… It’s easy for all those people to buy banggood products through that Elfeland store.

Aliexpress is like Ebay. They sale all kinds of stuff. So banggood decided to have a store there just like a lot of company’s have stores on ebay. Does that make sense?

How are they able to do that?

Better inductors, different bin emitters or a completely new driver?

Thank you for letting me know :slight_smile:

I’m guessing, but copper??

Hmm. There’s no way to really make it brighter and run cooler other than just putting in more efficient LEDs. They could just push the drivers harder and make it throttle at a much slower rate or down to a higher brightness.

the light under restocking, again, both versions
:person_facepalming:

Interested in 219C version.

Awaiting for new driver update.

Hi …

Some pictures while waiting for the next batch.

Do I assume correctly you have both the CW and NW versions of the DQG?

My CW DQG has a bit of yellow along with a hit of green in it. How does yours compare to the xp-g3 MF01?

Is the MF01 the same or is it more pure white/cooler in color?

Hi JasonWW.

Yes I have both the CW and the NW DQG.

You are correct, the DQG NW is way more “yellow/greenish” than the MF-01 XP-G3.

The MF-01 is way purer white/cooler in the overall color.
(The hotspot i pure white, dimming out in the edges.)

I think you’re the second person in this thread who has mistakenly thought I was talking about a neutral white DQG.

I have the cool white DQG. How do the 2 cool white versions you have compare?

Hi JasonWW…

SRI my bad…

It should read : You are correct, the DQG CW is way more “yellow/greenish” than the MF-01 XP-G3.
Skip this: You are correct, the DQG NW is way more “yellow/greenish” than the MF-01 XP-G3.

Then I think we are on the same page…

But when we are talking about the MF-01:

  • One of the battery carrier are drawing the batteris uneaven.
    (acttually, one was at 3.84v, two was at 3.98v while the last was at 4.20v !!)

The other one works fine, drawing the batteries even.

Please check if anyone else has the same problem.

Well my second MF01 showed up today. The three clusters of 219C emitters are evenly lit on low output unlike my first sample. Turbo output is also around 10000 lumens, so I’m very happy. Take it for a spin tonight. :smiley:

Just did a spring bypass on my MF01 219C , on the single spring on the head of the light . Left the carrier’s springs untouched …

Output still the same , no increase even at the first second .
