Not really much to compare... The Astrolux is a very bright light it would be better compared to the MT03. Both are massive flooders. The latest version of the MT03 using a TA style driver and 12k lumen output.
Honestly I would need an Astrolux here to compare the two.
To compare it to the MT09R I just can't think of but 1 outcome. The Astrolux would have much wider beam but much shorter. The MT09R with it's extra power and mucj better throw with 90000 candela verses a out 54000 candela.
Just 2 different types of lights.
I have an MT03 here but BangGood shipped it to me with a bad driver. I have a driver on the way, once I install the correct driver I would love to have a chance to do side by side comparison of the 2.
The tir lens of the mf01 puts most of the light into a large hot spot and the spill lighting is pretty weak. Typically you’ll need to move the light around to see to the left, right and around your feet if you walk at night and have the light around 600 to 1000 lumen.
The MT09R 70.2 should have a smaller hot spot combined with more spill light. Under the same circumstances I mentioned above, this reflector based light will allow you to hold it straight and still be able to see left, right and around your feet.
Think the MT09R should have a very similar beam shape as your Q8. Just with a slightly bigger hot spot.
If he includes one in the package with the 35 high sure will, can never have too many chargers...
I wish there was a way people could actually see that blast of light and massive chunks of aluminum this is made from. This is like their MT03 and MT07S very thick very heavy dense aluminum.
Best part is that it really does what it is supposed to do.
It does step down.. At 55 degreesC it will step down but as soon as it does you can kick it right back into turbo and it will stay their for another 60 seconds and step down again. You can do this over and over as long as you can stand the heat. So basically it will hold that max output as long as the batteries hold out. That is why I have not bothered with a run time test. You can just keep kicking it right back in all you want to.
When the 35 high arrives I do need to check lumen output after step down. I realized this morning I had not done that...
600 meters??? Have the specs on the XHP35HI version been downgraded since it was announced on the original feeler page as being “The throw of triple 35-Hi is over 300 000 cd, over 1000 meter distance, with 7500 lumens.” at HaikeLite MT09R Group buy Feeler(First Beam Shots)12-29-2017
Read the entire context of the message... I am comparing it to the 70.2 version or any other light that has a 600 meter est. throwing range.
And I have not yet tested the 35 high myself so the calculated distance could be a bit lower or higher... I will know for sure when the sample arrives.
I’m really interested in the Flood performance of the MT09R XHP70.2 compared to the Astrolux MF01, Noctigon M43, and Haikelite MT03. I want a powerful flood light.
No risk no fun! And for 108$ its quit a good deal. Maybe were not getting the full 7500 lumen, but 6500 lumen should be possible. But im also quit interested in Terry’s review and the first live beamshots/videos.
If it does not hit 8k lumen this will be the first light from Haikelite that I will have reviewed. tested or just owned that did not make it's claimed output level.
And the deal is a very good deal... You are not going to see these 3 months from now marked down to dealer cost... I never blame anyone for waiting to see first and my sample is on the way and should arrive one day this week hopefully. If not then very early next week.
Yesterday when I posted the total number of lights left on the group buy there were only about 150 left... Hope fully it is enough to give everyone time..
