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

Anyone else pulled the driver yet? I’m assuming it’s de-solder the AUX and emitters; there didn’t seem to be enough give to bring the board out enough to get at the MCU.

Will also do a reflow at some stage with new emitters :slight_smile:

Yes, just a couple pages back. You undo 5 wires. ✌ FREEME- ASTROLUX MF01 Mini 7*SST20 CRI95 26650 ANDÚRIL Flashlight Group Buy - $45.99 - #1261 by Chatika_vas_Paus

Ah thanks - missed that somehow.

Cheers!

Thanks Freeme! Ordered two more in tan and gray! My green one showed up today and everything if functioning great! My new favorite light. I just got my Acebeam X45 two days ago and its a great flashlight but this MF01 mini is amazing! I love the UI! Ordered three diffuser as well.

Thanks for the info above on the trimmers. I have one last question before I adjust them. To increase the brightness of the aux leds, do I need to turn clockwise or counter clockwise? Maybe the light is more durable than I’m taking it for… I’m just worried I might break it!

The trimmers will move quite easily - you’ll know if it hits a stop. That said, some will spin continuously, but will go from 100% to 0% in a tiny turn(like hitting 12:00 on a watch).

Clockwise increases brightness, from memory.

never have enough torches i like the look on the 7 led :+1: just bought one Astrolux MF01 Mini 7

Freeme could you ask if there will be spare parts available for this light? I am interested in a copper MCPCB

Thanks!

MCPCB costs $3 from Mateminco store, but shipping is $9.5, or for free if you buy it with any flashlight.

Thanks! Sent them a message for a MCPCB with leds quote.

What are you going to do with it?

I plan to do XPL-Hi 3a tint, but Osrams are tempting…

Just received my silver 5000k today. Yes, I wish I had chosen the 4000k. On low very low modes it’s about as green as my thrunite archer 1a, which is quite horrendous. Of course on higher modes it’s not noticeable as others have mentioned. I think I can but up with it; the tint is not soooo bad unless it’s compared to my 4000k C01s (but to be fair, all my lights look bad compared to my C01s tint). Also the silver/aluminum color is not bad. Not as nice looking as the stainless steel bezel, but close enough. I think it would look better just a shade darker on the silver.

IMO Anduril, USB charging, and kewl auxiliary LEDs make up for the 5000k tint.

Ultimately I’m nitpicking on the aesthetics of a tool. This rides the line between tool and toy, and I like it.

I’m going the sw45k route - drops a lot of lumens but dear lord the tint and CRI

Yeah, the SST-20 5000K green is certainly noticeable when white-wall-hunting, but it’s not bad at all outdoors in the real world.

Hi. I got my 4000k, at first i was happy but the voltage reading is incorrect at 4.2 shows 4.1 and at 4.15 already to 3.9v. My emisar and FFeo7 are sharp on this. The other issue is with thermal sensor at max ramp it steps down extremely fast to about 500lm maybe less than minute and it is calibrated to go to max temperature at 60 Celsius and when i go on turbo it is more sustainable. Is anyone noticed this step-down. I guess that sst20 at 4000k produce more heath but there is an issue here, to me it’s like that in max ramp it doesn’t know that i upped the step-down and it stays in default but in turbo it get it.

I have a trimmer that spins freely like some others. Is it supposed to do that? My low trimmer originally was stopping until it didn’t a few minutes into tinkering…

As was mentioned earlier, there is not much you can due about the battery inaccuracy. Just remember it reads about 0.15v too low.

About the thermal setting, first make sure it’s reading room temperature accurately.

I’m not sure I understand what your saying about the different step downs. I know that above a certain brightness level the step down can be more aggressive (panic mode). Below that level, it’s more conservative.

Yes i checked the temperature ot the flashlight with laser thermometer and it should be correct. The max ramp is about 2000lm 20 steps below 150. So in max ramp it starts to step-down rapidly to about 500lm. When i go to full turbo wich i measured about 4600lm it is more steady and it reaches above 60°Celsius, in max ramp it goes to maybe maximum of 45° Celsius. If you can check is this the case with your unit or it is something just with mine. In my other anduril flashlights at 2000 2800lm they can sustain this for at least 5 minutes or more but here it’s not that case.

I wasnt here longer… Any problems with this light?
