[♛ FreemeGB] ASTROLUX MF06 CREE High Power Flashlight with Active Cooling - Not Quite there Yet

Here is some speculation of what the MF05 COULD BE, based on some info Lexel posted about the MF03. It seems probable because we know the MF03 is a big, mega power light so it makes sense that Astrolux might want to make an active cooled version of that mega powered light.

Anyway, Mateminco asked him for a driver design to power the 8 x xhp70.2 plus 1 x xhp35-HI.

His idea is to use 10 batteries in it with a 21v buck driver to produce about 385 watts or about 48,000 lumen! His post.

Anyway, it may or may not happen with the MF03, so it’s just something to think about. Would you want an actively cooled, 48k lumen, 10 x 18650 cell monster light?

Interested!

What would be the weight of this monster? :slight_smile:

The GT with 8 cells is 5 lbs. Maybe around that weight? Maybe more?

MF05 is more of a high performance, high CRI, medium size flashlight. Completely different form factor from MF03. More appealing for the masses, in terms of weight, power, and price.

I can guarantee that at least 95+% of the members here (including me), have not owned a light with such configuration.

Ah, so they are not trying to compete with the Acebeam X70.

What can you tell us about the form factor?

4 x 18650? (Like Q8)
2 x 26650? (Like Convoy L6)

My guess is quite some more.

Two cells more, lots of leds (with copper dtp boards) that will still need a lot of mass plus the active cooling……if it’s “affordable” it’s going to be awesome!

It’s kind of a moot point now that we know the MF05 is going to be more of a medium sized light.

By the way, the Imalent DX80 (similar size with 8 cells) is only 2.7lbs. Which goes to show the GT is a bit overweight.

Also, with active cooling you don’t need a lot of mass.

Medium sized as in MT09R size with 4x18650?

I am very excited for this light especially considering it will have high CRI. Is it going to be Nichia 144A or XHP70.2? With Cree 90CRI, I’m just afraid of green tint. The Cree 80CRI doesn’t have green.

If the MF05 is not going to be competing with the X70, then I’m really hoping there will be a Freeme deal on the X70 :smiley: Although the MF03 has potential to be more powerful than the X70, it will only be so for very short blasts without active cooling.

Oh my god YES! That is exactly the type am wanting, besides the BLFGT.

Interested, Astrolux is my new favourite :smiley:

Is that my qoute?
It looks like we’re not going to get that particular light with active cooling. We may get it in a normal, non air-cooled, design. Head over to the MF03 thread if you’re not already subscribed.

Fine, I’ll bite. Interested. I’m thinking this might be like the Imalent DX80 or Acebeam X70?

It has already been said the MF05 won’t be a mega power light like those.
