✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX MF01S 15000lm Flashlight Group Buy - ENDED

Were also XPL HIs considered? My best NW tint is from Thrunite TN40S that uses these.

Edit: wrong thread

Yes, this was the plan at first and could still happen if enough intrest was shown. I have a prototype here with a mixed tint XP-L HI 5A + 1A setup that is one of if not the best 70cri tint I have ever seen.

Although the price for the light would have to be increased with XP-L HI and they were worried that banggood would not want that, so they decided to start out with SST-20 only.

Plus the lumen output with the XP-L HI was only around ~10-15% higher in my testing IIRC and about the same throw as well.

Catch fire? What are you referring to? Wrong thread?

oops I had too many BLF pages opened. DBSAR’s DX80 almost exploded

lol I read a post from TK saying she has a problem with tabs. She said at the time of the post she had something like 400 tabs open at once.

lol we here at BLF understand

Interested depending on price. Any guess when it will be available?

Still a few months out if I had to guess.

Interested pending price check.

I’m in pending tariffs.

I want one, but how LONG will this one take?
I am still waiting on 3 projects on BLF that has a lot of interest on list but still no production.
I already own the MF01, love it, just got the MF02, love it. I also have the MF04S, love it. Will the MF01S read the same as my other MF lights shortly?

I know that I really like the MF01S prototype that I have. One of my more used lights at this point.

As I posted above, I would say there are still a few months left before it is on sale. There are still some minor issues to sort out.

It’s hard to say for sure. It’s possible that Mateminco might redesign it to be 4P instead of 2S2P, but I don’t really think that will happen. It’s too late in the project to make such a big change, and the light seems to generally work fine as-is. It’s just not as efficient as it could be.

There’s some odd behavior on the driver, like unstable power levels when the battery gets low, but that doesn’t seem to really cause problems. The most noticeable weirdness is a pretty sudden tint shift when the FET channel kicks in… but I’ve managed to smooth that out a bit to make it less noticeable.

As long as the battery carrier is tight and the contacts are clean, it seems to work reasonably well.

The beam is a lot like a Meteor — a big wide hotspot without much else. If you like that kind of beam, you’ll probably like the MF01S. It’s bigger than a Meteor though, and makes more light. I measured 13,900 lm with SST-20 4000K. The most I’ve ever been able to get out of a Meteor was a bit under 6000 lm.

People will probably enjoy the aux LEDs too. Lexel did a good job with those. It has a rainbow of colors, and the colors fade away as the battery gets low.

Was 13900 with the 95cri LEDs?

Interested… if FD2 becomes a reality.

I think so, but I’m not totally sure what LEDs are in this.

You should have the FD2 LED’s I think. Although if it is an early prototype it is possible it is the FB4.

Unless you got sent one of the CW 70 cri versions for some reason? I asked them to send you the 95cri LED’s though.
