ENDED.

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.

Interessted!

I would like one.

ASTROLUX FT02

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.

BTW, weights of a few single-cell reflector throwers larger than C8 (w/out battery, manufacturer data):

  • Lumintop GT Mini 150g
  • Emisar D1S 151g
  • Nitecore P30 165g
  • Manker U22 183g
  • Thrunite Catapult V6 192g
  • Acebeam T27 230g
  • Astrolux FT02 258g
  • Convoy L2 279g
  • Manker U21 290g
  • Lumintop ODL20C 300g
  • Utorch UT02 306g
  • Amutorch JM70 311g

Green are 18650, orange 21700, red 26650

With a high-capacity cell (GA/Tesla/Shockli):

  • Lumintop GT Mini 198g
  • Emisar D1S 199g
  • Nitecore P30 213g
  • Manker U22 252g
  • Thrunite Catapult V6 288g
  • Acebeam T27 309g
  • Astrolux FT02 327g
  • Convoy L2 375g
  • Manker U21 386g
  • Lumintop ODL20C 396g
  • Utorch UT02 402g
  • Amutorch JM70 407g

Weird, Amutorch JM70 certainly felt lighter than Convoy L2.

Oh heck why not…. ADD ME TO THE LIST!!!
