Astrolux MF03 - new pictures + video

You shouldn’t say mean things like that. You start to sound like him.

Well, to me, people are mean occasionally. Most of the time people are nice.
Dogs and people are the same. Just don’t take their kindness to be granted.

Let’s focus on MF03 else M4X M4D will get really mad. :smiling_imp: just kidding.

Any updates with this light production?

i am poking daily ;)

Hi,

1. Does any one have any suggestion for fan-cooled system ? It might be the best solution for faster heat dissipation from the LED to the heatsink/ fins. How is the mechanical construction / contact to the flashlight through the fins, yet water resistant ?
2. For the numbers of LED, any chances or possibility of having 10 pcs XHP-35 HD for the circular/ surrounding with thick & shallow OP reflectors, while using 1 pc XHP-35 Hi for the center throw with deep SMO reflector ? Can we assume 11*2500 lm = 27,500lm, 11*15w = 165w power consumption?
3. If the overall head diameter is 130mm, then can it be: a) center reflector diameter of 74mm (SMO), b) surrounding 10 LED with reflectors diameter of 25mm each ?
4. Can a diameter of 74mm SMO deep reflector project a 1600 meters distance ?

Sorry for the lack of knowledge.
I need to learn lots of things from the seniors.

Many thanks.

for 1600m ANSI you need about 90mm reflector with hard driver XHP35

  1. Fan cooled requires a complete design starting from scratch. It won’t be this light.

2. Xhp35 are small and weak for the power they consume. You get much more bang for your buck with xhp70.2. Since the reflectors are shallow, the xhp35 has no advantage at all. It would also not be efficient to run xhp35 at 2,500 lumen. That is their max and they produce a lot of wasted heat. It would be 11 x 35w = 385w.

If you use the xhp70.2 at 385 watts, you would get 44,000 lumen!

I have to consider the source from someone as ignorant, unrealistic and uneducated as you! :wink:

Many thanks. :+1:

63k lumens. Let’s do it! I don’t care if the head melts and falls off within 5 seconds, in fact, I’d buy two if it did.

So you want all 11 xhp70.2 to do 8 amps and 5700 lumen?

That’s 88 amps at 7.3 volts. That’s 22 amps per cell! I think you’d need more cells, maybe 12 or 16.

Id pay to see you hold as it melts. Lol

Only 22 amps per cell. There’s still 8 more amps to push.

Not really. Even the 30Q can only do 15A continuous and 20A in pulses according to HKJ. They tend to get pretty hot. Plus you get a lot of voltage sag. More batteries means less voltage sag and more lumens.

I think the Imalent DX80 has about the right battery to output levels. 8 x xhp70.2, 32,000 lumen and 8 x 18650. That’s 4,000 lumen at 5A from each emitter. It works pretty well.

Once you start going over that, like 11 of the xhp70.2 at 5A each, you need 12 cells. If you have 11 at 8A each, then 16 cells. This would be a practical use light I’m talking about. Not a 5 second wonder.

Imagine the GT with its 5.5” diameter head and a copper insert to load up 11 or 12 xhp70.2 using small reflectors. Then a special driver that can handle the power. It would probably be 2 drivers combined or stacked. That would be an awesome light. Now that the GT is shipping, I wonder who will be the first to mod it?

I think DBCUSTOM was talking about running 4 x xhp70.2 with each one in a C8 reflector. That would be cool.

Yes, that’s it. Pulses are fine. Melt my face off for a few glorious seconds.

There are batteries that can handle 20-25 amps , like VTC5A .

Mf-03 will probably take 8*18650 , from what i understand from the pics . If there are 2 carriers , in parallel , but each one is in 2S2P config , max current with 15amp batteries like 30q will be ~60amps .

If we forget that we have an xhp35 , and assume we have 8*xhp70.2 P2 , max output for the available current would be about 5900*8= 47.2k lumens . Not bad :innocent:

I would definitely keep the LEDs efficiency right over max lumens
4A @6V per XHP70.2 should be fine

If there’s going to be more than one mode, I’ll accept a 4A mode too, as long as it keeps a mode that’ll split atoms.

i hear you have went on a vacation ?
hope your enjoying yourself…
they gave you fair warning, and you still got banned after that ?
tell me again who’s ignorant ?
lol…man oh man….unreal…
enjoy…
