@ 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 Forumā 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.
Hmmmā¦ 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 GTā¦ Interesting, do you have the actual dimensions of the reflector?
Thats what i would expect it to ship with, without knowing too much about this addiction those seem like a good idea for emitters on a devise like this.
Unsure if that will screw up the prize, it probably would.
I do find my MF02 do fine for my needs, so the MF04 have to outperform it by a good margin, or at least have a really good prize for me to double up on the long range arsenal of mine, after all i only have 2 hands and my backpack are only 35L as i like to travel light.
Sherman, you have to have a bit more patience. New flashlight designs can move pretty slowly. If thereās no new updates in 2 or 3 months, then there might be a problem. If you expect everything to move fast all the time, you will just be disappointed.
They are using the same exaggerated specs as the MT35/MF02 (2,700 lumen) so you know the candela is exaggerated as well.
It looks like itās using the same 2S2P carrier as the earlier lights which means itās probably is using a boost driver. Maybe the same as the smaller light? I would think so.
I guess the only way to know what your getting is to wait for someone to review and spec the light before you go buy one. This could be just a mf02 with a larger reflector.
āThis could be just a mf02 with a larger reflector.ā
Thats what i āfearedā since day #1
Not that this spell all doom and gloom, at least now we will see that doubling up on reflector size do.
But i must admit i was hoping for a little extra spice in form of new interiors like other carrier and driver and LED to match.
I dunno i remain healthy skeptical cuz everyone should be that with everything, and leave the always happy to the potheads and crackpots.
