That light seems to be about 3500 lumen continuous. Definitely not 8000. It’s just too small to shed enough heat. The 70.2 LEDs are pretty efficient, though.
I have the tn36, it’s definitely much brighter than 3500 once turbo dials down. I don’t know if it runs indefinitely but can do some more testing . To my bare eyes it looked tentatively around 8, as it was brighter than the fireflies E07 with 6900lm and sofirn q8. But again I didn’t wait thaaat long to see what happens…
Plan to buy another 1… any code for grp buy… Thanks
Does anyone know many amps the three different aux modes pull or approximately how long long it takes to deplete the batteries on these modes? Will the blinking mode drain faster?
I tested the ten 36 last night. After the turbo dial down ( which didn’t work the right way for me I suspect due to the old batteries, it just turned off) I decided to see how long it will stay on max ramp ( 8k lumens) I did 2 tests with 2 sets of batteries which were a couple years old. The first test was half hour and the light output stayed somewhere in between 5-7 k lumens with almost no sagging at all. Most sustainable thing I’ve seen, the one hour same thing sagging maybe to around 4.5-5,5 . After the test the vbatteties were at around 3.53v. This was all visual in comparison with other lights and of course a warmer tint of the tn36 I had messed up my perception a bit too. But it was definitely about 3.5k for like an hour. For the first 20 minutes I could still hold the handle but after than needed a towel to tolerate the temperature. Hope this helps.
Don’t trust your bare eyes. I learned so much after I bought the TA lumen tube. The E07 is a flooder so the beam intensity is lower, which makes your eyes think it is less bright. For example, if I compare my Acebeam K75 that measured 4,100 lumens with my E07 that measures 6,500 lumens (both are CW), the K75 looks MUCH BRIGHTER to my eyes than the E07.
For anyone wanting to maximize their output, I gained about 1,000 lumens in both of my MF01S by doing a thorough cleaning. I took the battery carrier out, unscrewed the contact plates in both the tube and tail cap and gave everything a thorough clearning with detergent. I also wiped down the threads and contacts in the head with isopropyl alcohol.
This is a very good practice. I always wash my flashlights when I receive them from the factory. Most flashlights gain at least 10% from thorough cleaning like this one. Some of my flashlights see 20–30 increase in output after cleaning. It’s too easy to get thread grease on the contacts and batteries so you need to clean them occasionally. I also clean my batteries and contacts on my charger every once in a while.
Also if you must use thread grease, use a conductive grease like the NO-OX-ID.
^ any idea if the No-ox-id is hard on rubber or silicone o-rings? Been using super lube lately but seems a little messy.
Funny you mention cleaning. I just got my second MF01S and it had some kind of grit or gravel in the box when it arrived. I had to pop a couple small rocks out of the cooling fins and the light had some gritty powder that needed to be washed off. Thankfully no damage to the light, everything looks and functions just fine.
And an update about the faint noise coming from my purple 4000k light. The new green 6500k light does the exact same thing and both are working perfectly so I’m sure it’s completely normal.
It is a good practice to inspect every received lights before using.
I am interesed for two diffusers
I am interested in a diffuser for my MF01S. Could you please PM me the $1.99 deal?
First order (Aug 28 2019) arrived at Sept 11 2019...
Okay.
Shipping is usually fast for in-stock terms.
Interested in the red MF01S, is there still a discount code available? If so, a diffuser too
I’m looking for some info on the MF01S, probably mentioned somewhere but I’m unable to find it — what driver, eg. FET + 5? FET + 5 + 1?
On battery insertion, the flashlight is in regulated NoPWM mode — around how much current (7135 x ??) is it consuming in this mode, and also around how many lumens (I suppose around 700 lumens regulated level, on battery insertion, for the neutral/cool-white 18x SST20).
2 channel, a small FET with resistor bank good for about 500 lumen (since 7135 don’t work well at 6v), then the big FET for the rest.
Hi all,
I am a little confused about how the Auxiliary LEDs are supposed to function. If I turn the first dial so that the green LEDs get brighter the blue and purple ones go OFF. With that dial set to green being bright none of the other have any effect.
Is there only a set amount of current going to ALL of the emitters that is being divided up between them, and my only choice is how much goes to which LEDs? Or am I just doing it wrong? I would like to see all of the color LEDs be maxed out like the green ones are when only those are on.
Any help is appreciated 
Is the code still.available? Thank you.
Yes.
