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

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 :slight_smile:

Is the code still.available? Thank you.

Yes.

I ordered an MF01S but I’m not sure what batteries to buy. There seems to be conflicting information about whether it takes button top or flats. Can someone recommend a battery?
I’m thinking Samsung 30Q button tops.

Button top Samsung 30Q will work well.

You can technically use flat tops but it can stretch / tear the the 18650 wrapper and insulator from what I’ve seen online. If you already have suitable flat tops and a good soldering iron, solder blobs will work well too.

Thanks. I’ll get some 30Q button tops. There really should be some official clarification.

(might be a bit off-topic…)

Just saw your comment about looking for non-PWM drivers. I’m not that familiar with drivers, but I generally test if each flashlight has PWM (my method is a bit crude — I shine the light through a small portable fan blades). I’m not sure how fast the fan blades spin, but for BLF A6 driver or Biscotti or Bistro or NarsilM or Anduril, I can still “see” the fast PWM pattern on lower brightness levels, using this method.

However on some flashlights I tested, I couldn’t “see” PWM, so I determine they have No PWM (or are faster than what I can observe by shining flashlight thru the spinning fan blade).

These are some flashlights I tested using my crude method above, and I can’t “see” PWM on all their brightness levels (lowest, medium to high levels):

AAA flashlights:
BLF/Astrolux A01 (Nichia 219B) (Manker driver)
Lumintop EDC01 (XP-G3)
Lumintop Tool AAA (XP-G2)
ZanFlare F3 (XP-G2)
NiteCore TIP CRI 2017 (Nichia 219C) (keychain light)

AA/14500:
BlitzWolf BW-ET1 (XPL-HD)

18650:
Eagle Eye X2R (XM-L2)
ZanFlare F1 (XPL-HD)
Convoy S2+ (SST40 “4-mode” driver)
Wuben LT35 (XP-L2)
Eagle Eye X6 (XPL-Hi)
Sofirn SP32A v2.0 (XP-L2)

21700:
Sofirn C8G (XHP35-Hi)
Sofirn SD05 (XHP50.2)

26650:
Sofirn SP33 (XHP50.2)

(I think there may are some more I failed to list above)

I have Acebeam t27,h30 and h40. They are non-PWM

Any chance copper head will be produced?

I’m not looking for non-PWM drivers to study anymore. That’s old. Thanks anyway.

Are there any greens left?

Also, does anyone know what the input voltage range is?

I’m not sure what you mean, but the driver runs on “6 volts”. So like 5.6v-8.4v.

You can still can order. [quote=morelightnow] Are there any greens left? [/quote]

Ok, thanks Jason. I was asking because I like to use LifePo4 batteries in my lights. I may just get some 30Q’s instead.

I got my MF01S today, awesome light. Anyone have tips for attaching the lanyard that came with it? Doesn’t seem that it should be that hard but I can’t get the ends to fit through the holes going from the inside out. I can get them through going from the outside in, but doing it that way would prevent it from tailstanding…
Also, this light is supposed to be red, and it is pink. Disappointed in the color.

Interested in code for blue MF01F and diffuser!

Do you have a spare split ring lying around in your house?

Ordered mine , thank you. Any drawbacks anyone can think of using molicel 26a’s in this? Had good performance out of the couple I have. Figure I might run with more for this and the blf lantern.

Interested.

I would suggest you something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/af/camera-screw-d%25252dring-release.html?SearchText=camera+screw+d%252dring+release
But please take one with the a screw which is as short as possible, because in the tripod screw hole is not much room.
