List of Actively Cooled Lights

From the Olight channel at Shot Show 2018. Skip to 11:06 for the X9 info

Was thinking the same thing. DX80 has some serious metal on it plus the heat sink.

Thanks, I didn’t know this.

I updated post one with new info to reflect this. Plus 2 more lights.

5 minutes of turbo on $500 active cooled light?

I think the TR-J20 moded can do much better without fan :person_facepalming:

From what I can gather, there is NOT active cooling in the 2018 model

That is old information. The final production version is NOT fan cooled, can do full power for probably less than 2 minutes and is still $500.

I cannot listen now the video, sorry :frowning:

So, why this light costs $500? :open_mouth:

So, the mf03 must destroy this in price

Olight charges a lot. Their X7R 12,000 lumen light has a list price of $279 compared to Astrolux’s MF-01 12,000 lumen light that has a $110 list price.

They claim to be a higher end brand. Same for Acebeam, Nitecore, Fenix and others.

Acebeams big 12,000 lumen searchlight, the X65, is listed at $574.

I think the early Olight X9 was going to be about $600 to $700 back when it was first introduced.

I don’t think Astrolux is targeting Olight’s X9. They can easily beat their higher prices.

The MF03 is probably targeting the Imalent DX80 since both are not fan cooled.

Then their MF05 can compete against the Acebeam X70. I’m sure they can beat it’s price, but the X70 might release soon, so they are a ways behind. This might be why they released info on it way before they have any real designs.

No load whatsoever on the internal battery of the light!

i agree, i never consider it as Profession light, 3d printed part, CPU heatsink, lol, looklike a DIY light to me

No info about included cooling fan though.

Don’t forget that we bought MF-01 with a coupon at a low enough price,while Olight does not permit this policy.The same as the other first rate companies.So,Astrolux is going to be a must for us in a budget. :slight_smile:

Great thread, thanks for starting, subbed…

He said they have scrapped the idea of using a fan. It’s just a regular finned style light now. They added some fancy electronics that show the brightness and battery level through the use of leds on either side of the button.

So,let’s stay with my DX80.X9 is a good light but not for me at $499.00.

One thing about Olight is that all their lights have a 5 year warranty, so obviously a lot of money and effort has gone into QC. Does that warrant their hefty price tags? I guess that depends a lot on the intended use - for emergency services, military etc., having a tool that will work when it’s most needed can make the difference between life and death.

Agreed 100%.

Great list. Surprised that there are already a couple of lights with active cooling. I knew about the luxrc FBI light. But the others where new. Too bad olight dropped the fan on there x9 model.

Is there any more information available about the ms2010 light?

I’m working on a design that uses active cooling. It brings a lot of challenges, especially if you want it to keep it compact.
