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

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.

Interested depending on price.

Interested!

Please add me to the list. Thanks!

I’m interested in the group buy


ASTROLUX said that it has been manufactured in batches, and will be on sale in the middle of next month.

Please add me to the GB list. Thank you.

Yeah, I got the light to behave thermally, so I think it should be almost ready to buy. Here’s an example of a thermal test with the maximum temperature set pretty low to make things harder for the thermal algorithm:


Given the style of power channels used, this result is pretty close to optimal.

Which emitter is it using? The sustainable lumens seems low if it is xpl hi or sst 20 70cri. The heat shedding of this version is significantly improved by TA from the original MF01 so should do better than this.
