The correct abbreviation is ‘Chi’, however it’s an easy mistake to make. As an Engl & Ger speaker I would have guessed ‘Chin’ myself.
Since we are sidetracking a bit, and talking about abbreviations, it is easiest to use the acronym CNY to refer to Chinese New Year. I use it myself all the time 
That would make my life so much easier these last few weeks, sadly I was afraid I would just get questions of what CYN was and then spend more time explaining it lol.
Ya, CNY is the right abbreviation. I use that to save typing.
Chin or Cina is history burden for Chineses and those invaded China before, and there were places with signboard “Cina and dogs not allowed” in China during those time. It’s complicated. I believe many other races dislike certain name calling of their race too.
Nothing to add, just a few pics so people would not forget what this thread is about
Personally I would be interested but this one is not “budget” version, not even close…
Yeah it not will be budget, I think it will cost $99,99…… 
It depends on your definition of budget.
Will it be cheap? No.
Will it be cheaper than similar lights? Yes.
It’s all relative.
So if you were considering buying an Acebeam X65 with a list price of $574, then you might stop and consider this more budget friendly Astrolux light.
To be fair, we haven’t even heard any estimated prices, yet. It may be priced to compete with the Imalent DX80, but it’s xhp35-HI emitter gives it an edge when it comes to distance. Some might argue the MF03 would be worth more than the DX80 because of its better flexibility. Similar massive flood, but extra distance.
If $99.99 i’ll take 2 
Its a joke, Ifound the people would catch those 99 cents :innocent: 
I take 10 of them, here I can sold it easly for U$500~R$1600
Interested!
Interested, I hope it happens.
Very interested in one if not both of these!
What do you mean by “both”?
Will there be 2 versions of MF03?
Where are these photos from?
He wasn’t clear, but I assume he’s refering to one of the other three lights Astrolux is working on. The mf04 (like the blf gt), the MF05 (some type of fan cooled light) or the C8 sized, 21700 battery light named X.
Check this other mf03 thread.
Yeah I’ve been through that other thread but haven’t seen these same photos before, If that’s where they are then I must be missing them.
If they aren’t there then they might be from Madmaxs website or his Facebook page.
It is the MF03’s interest list thread…maybe it’s not the best place to share informations and discuss about it when there is a thread dedicated to this. 
Very interested. I hope it will have 4000k 80CRI version like the Haikelite MT09R group buy. That tint is beautifully neutral with no yellow/green/magenta. Also hope it will be as floody as the DX80
