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

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?

That may not be accurate. The sensor is built into the driver, not on the exterior of the light. Heat can stay trapped inside the light long after the exterior is cool. The only way I know for sure is to let the light cool to room temperature at least an hour if it has been warmed up. I typically let it sit overnight then I check what temperature it blinks compared to room temp.

The reason it might be getting hotter on Turbo is due to thermal lag. It takes a bit longer for the heat to travel from the led to the sensor than it does from the led to the exterior. So the heat gets to the sensor slower.

At full ramp you have less heat so it travels a little slower. It may reach the sensor with less lag and start reducing power sooner.

If you have the max temp set to 60* and the internal temp is set accurately then I’m not sure why it starts ramping down at 45* at full ramp. Lower power settings tend to be more accurate. The thermal lag is why the upper power levels have a panic mode. If it senses a quick rise in temperature it cuts a lot of power so as to try and prevent it shooting way past the set max temp.

I don’t have a MF01 mini, my only Anduril light is an FW3A. :confounded:

The only thing I can tell you is to choose which situation is more important and then reset the max temp for that. For example, setting full ramp to stepdown at actual 60* exterior (raise the limit to 75**) might make the Turbo temp go up as well to maybe 75**. Maybe set it somewhere in between? Keep in mind the light can easily handle 100*+ temps, the thermal stepdown is just there for the user to not burn themselves.

You only need to turn it slightly to raise or lower brightness. I doubt you will need to go to the trimmer limits. Is it broke? If it still works, I would not worry about it spinning freely as that makes no difference.

No problems. Just be aware the 5500 lumen rating is only for the CW. The warmer tints have less output (common with most lights). Some say the 5000K is a bit green at low levels. That’s all I can think of. Most reviews are very positive.

I’m not really sure if it’s broken or not. The high and low trimmers never seemed to turn anything on when I tinkered with them. Maybe they are battery indicators that only turn on at certain battery levels?

I got a reply from Mateminco regarding the swap from SST-20 to XPL-HI.

IT DOESN’T FIT!

Quote from Mateminco’s message on Aliexpress:

“Hi, size between SST-20 and XPL HI is different. XPL HI needs 3mm deeper body host head. so i don’t think it will work”

In case some of you are also thinking in changing the MCPCB to another led.

Woah! They are not supposed to turn anything on. They just adjust the brightness level a little up or down. It has to be on in the first place.

Let me check,
Low is red
High is green
D1 is blue
D2 is pink

Yes, High is the green led and it is for “high” battery voltage 3.9v to 4.2v.

Low is the red led and it is for “low” battery voltage below 3.3v.

The voltage sensor built into the Aux board will turn them on or off, the trimmers are just to adjust their brightness levels.
