Yea Astrolux specs are not to be trusted based on the MF01 and MF02. I suggest you multiply the specified numbers by 0.6 to get the actual numbers.
With that said, I’m still interested. This looks like a solid host at 260g. Should be able to handle XHP70.2 very well.

Oh boy, didn't expect mail delivery on Sunday. No choice but to wait till Monday to retrieve my parcel.
Banggood now has this light on their website Astrolux FT02
And they have a link to the manual.

Quite big. You don’t have Utorch UT02 / Manker U21 / Manker U22, do you?
Can you please put the Imalent RT35 next to it? ;-)

The firmware looks like a mash between RampingIOS and Narsil. What is it?

I have the GT Mini and the ODL20C on order form Banggood. They just arrived in Chicago so I should have them in another week or so. I really like this size/shape/style of light with the side click controls- I guess because I grew up with Maglites. This design just feels right for night time walks and the built-in charging on the ODL20C and FT02 makes these perfect for my work truck.

Weird, Amutorch JM70 certainly felt lighter than Convoy L2.

What other lights deserve mention?
