Are there any more pics or information out??? :innocent:

I haven’t seen anything else.

I believe they were/are going to release it after the BLF GT sales are done.

I want it

Interested!!!

news!

MF04 NW - MF04 CW - MF02

Well well, looks like the body of the MF01 fits, noice.

Let’s hope the rest of the light is not as massive as the BLF GT (which is overkill with the use of one XHP35 HI), so to keep the weight a bit down.

BTW: I’d love to see some pics of the inside of the head, the led shelf, the thickness of it etc……… :wink:

if i get a sample i will check ;)

Can you get more information about the driver and the brightness modes (And other hopefully hidden modes like blinkies SOS, momentary on etc) it has, I hope is a constant current regulated driver so it won’t dim as the batteries get depleted…

The MF02 beam look diffuse and weak compared to the bigger dish lights :sunglasses:

Well, the MF02 is not really a very good thrower, is it?

Its nice, I very much like the design, but it’s certainly not a top notch thrower, with around 400Kcd.
But I understand the beamshot comparison to show the difference between MF02 and MF04.

As long as it has a reflector of at least 120mm and the rest of the light is up to par and easily moddable
(and the price is right ofcourse…) I’m in.

Cheers

Any deals on Fenix?



wrong thread M8!

there you go: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/31589

MF02 is +1000 M light, that put it in the thrower class with plenty of reach for my needs.

But clearly i haven’t seen anything yet when it comes to throwers :smiley: but the next class up mostly seem to be too impractical to me with the “much” larger heads.
Outside of fun i am having a hard time seeing what i could use such a light for, i am not going search and rescue for sure, and even if i did i cant see why my U21 or MF02 should not be enough for that.
Could also just be the pictures of the big lights that mess with my brain and when i get to hold one its not so bad after all, i do have big hands myself to match the rest of my 1.9 M size.

@ M4D M4X: Looking good!!!

@ SparkyDK: I have throwers from pocketable for the holiday (Sunwaymen T25C - 160Kcd) up to Nitecore TM36 Lite (dedomed XP G2 @ 849Kcd) and, more recently, the BLF GT.

The latter two do not go with me on holidays - my wife would kill me - but they are great to have and play around with.
Especially during the German TLF Forum’ annual meetings.

This Astrolux I want to have so I can modd it with either Osram Oslon BF or Ostar Q8WP.
Probably the latter. With that (proper focus & centering will be the issue) it could reach up to 2Mcd.

What’s the price? Ballpark.

Change me to uninterested.

Hmmm… I adjusted the image for 1 to 1 scale and over imposed my GT to compare, it seems that it may have a deeper reflector than the GT… Interesting, do you have the actual dimensions of the reflector?
