✌ FREEME- ASTROLUX MF01 Mini 7*SST20 CRI95 26650 ANDÚRIL Flashlight Group Buy - $45.99

Please let us know if it’s green at the lower levels. :question:

I got an SST-20 5000K and it is, unfortunately green at the low levels. That being said, I bought this to use at the higher levels so I may not bother doing anything about it.

On the lower levels my light looks green compared to the Emisar D4S 5000k 3A tint XPL HI :cry:

It’s green until basically the top of ramp.

To me, Fireflies’ build quality is superb in general.

Also, to anybody with the SST-20 5000k, I wouldn’t expect good tint from it.

It’s got such bad red color rendering compared to even the XP-L HI, that its tint is quite a bit worse than it should be based on its color tint bin.

Live and learn. How hard would it be for a noob to swap the emitters? The worst part about it is that I ordered a ROT66 Gen II with the same emitters. :person_facepalming:

I have some single emitter lights Covoy S2+ Cu and S3 to practice on.

I took some measurements of my silver MF01 Mini with the SST-20 4000K using Vapcell 26650 5500mah fully charged. This one will surely see significant improvement in tint by swapping to a UCL type glass.

It depends on if you can get a new mcpcb with the emitters you want already installed. Then the swap involved soldering wires. Pretty simple.

If you can’t get an assembled board then you have to reflow the individual leds which is much more complicated. You would need a controllable heat source like a hot air staion or a hot plate.

hm it doesnt pass 4000 lumens, isnt that a bit low ?

The high CRI SST-20 has pretty low output. The 70 CRI 6500K is where they measure the 5500 lumen.

Well… yeah… The E07’s high CRI emitters does around the same w/ a 21700 battery. The 4000k’s about maxed out here w/ current tech.

I got a 4000k version of the mini and am happy with it. It just does not have the quality feel of an Emisar product and as Hank is launching new models I decided to cancel my order for a copper and titanium mini and put the funds towards more Emisars :wink:

I will probably get another mini at some point. I will wait and see if any issues emerge.

Who is Hank and what new products is emisar launching? Something similar to mini?

PM’d

TY

Hank is the person in charge of the Emisar brand, for those that don’t know. His store is intl-outdoor.

My Silver 5000k just shipped and I am very much regretting my tint (and color) choice given the apparent green tint :confounded: . I suppose there is nothing I can do at this point given Banggood’s return reputation. Any suggestions?

I wonder if Astrolux could offer us a MCPCB board with XPL-HI leds in neutral 5000k white like 3A or 3C tint at a reasonable cost… Freeme could you ask?

You must not have ever returned something to China. There pretty much is no returning since the shipping cost is usually more than the item. You should consider selling local if you don’t like it. Maybe take a small loss. Then buy another.

This is a good idea. Hopefully the height of the emitters are the same so the optic fits.

Why 3C, do you mean 3D?
