thanks Sword for the info.
yes, i have the lanyard, what i do no find in the package is the “hook” to place to the light (posted in previous photo)
i have also the tripod adapter, but not the illustrated item on photo… it’s present in the MF-02 but not in my MF-01 package…
you have it?
Huh? The Astrolux MF01 is supposed to contain a tripod mount screw in the package.
And no, I only have a Haikelite MT09R which contains the same tripod mount screw.
Strange that you did not get the tripod hook screw.
this is what i have find inside the package:
seems that the MF-01 does not have the hook (i see other review for comparison)
surfing the net i find also another news about this light… it’s the same product of the MATEMINCO MT18… same design, same LED, same lumen… it’s a perfect clone… why???
what are the GENUINE light, Astrolux or Mateminco???
googled for your HAIKELITE light, it’s a very good product. congratulation 
these brand of light look very good, i find Haikelite with delay (find it after purchasing my MF-01), probably i buy the Q30 if find it before the Astrolux.
Mateminco is the manufacturer of Astrolux lights.
Mateminco MT18 = Astrolux MF01.
Be aware of the many potential issues with Haikelite brand.
hi guys,
suddenly I have a doubt (fear???): the batteries… the Samsung 30Q are UNprotected… i have read carefully all the suggestion to prevent some danger/explosion BUT yesterday i read some (very BAD) adventure of user of UNprotected cells…
i am little worried… probably follow step by step the user guide for handle the batteries is a right way… but if i want to use PROTECT cells inside this torch? i can? or need a modify?
thanks to all
I doubt that protected button tops will fit. With the plastic protection pieces in the battery carrier, you’ll most likely need button tops and the extra length of the protection circuit will make them too long. I use unprotected button tops in mine and they are a tight squeeze.
dont use protected cells in this light, that much lumens need unprotected batteries, if u are scared using this light with this combination then perhaps this light isnt for you maybe? there is no danger really if u are using quality cells and know what you are doing a little bit of knowledge handling this lights is good to have, the light is designed to drain alot of power thats why high drain unprotected batteries needed, protected will not work very good in this kind of light…
Only unprotected (flat and button top) 18650 are supported in Astrolux MF-series. Battery carrier does come with reverse polarity protection (plastic insulators near pin contacts) against batteries being loaded in wrong orientation. I would advise to add extra markings to your batteries, to help you identify the (+) and (-) poles if you are worried.
interested in xpg3 cw version
hi guys,
happy new year to all.
i am still waiting for the delivery of the charger for the SAMSUNG 30Q battery… in the meantime i am search fo the multimeter.
this is a good choice?
or better the alternative suggested previously (the MUSTOOL have better price at the moment)
Interested like some others on price. Thanks
As long as it has auto off, beep for continuity and a bag/pouch of some kind to carry everything in, I’m not too picky. I have a VC97+. Two of them actually.
thanks for the good news BlueSword,
i check immediately
EDIT
yes, better price
ordered, many thanks for the suggestion
hi guys,
i am still waiting for the charger for the samsung battery… very long delivery time…
in the meantime (and with delay, because i am out for vacancy) i have check the battery received from banggood… i do no see nothing of interest, all look good… BUT… there is one cell that have a little swelling (i hope this is the right word)
looked whit eye is not visible, but when i touch the battery with my hand i feel the difference… i have grabbed a photos, i hope that the protuberance is visible…
what you think? i have to contact banggood and ask for change the single cell? or it’s normal?
if the multimeter (waiting for delivery) show good parameter for the cell, i am ok?
and last, seems that the IMALENT battery can be used inside the MF-01 (apparently the battery are the SAMSUNG re-wrapped)… also (and if i read/remember well) the MF-02 accept PROTECTED battery… it’s correct?
and again, i read that i can made a light with two head: MF-01 and MF-02… it’s possible? trow and flood at the same time…
thanks to all.
@atomico, this is normal.
This is only the clear wrap around the battery which has not been installed well.
There is no concern over this.
many thanks
It is probably the seam of the clear heat shrink. You can probably tighten it up. Just use a heat gun or hair dryer.
Is there any working code now? After that time, any complains abput light?
