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

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.

Start sanding down the bottom of that TIR lens. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, Rather sell it and get me the XPL-Hi one…

Anyone knows what specific tint are they using on the 5000k XPL Hi? (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D)

I just noticed that there are no XPL-Hi version for the aluminum MF01 Minis, only Mateminco sell them?

Freeme, will Astrolux offer this version soon?

I did notice XPL HI was only on the brass/copper for the Astrolux version, but is on all Mateminco models. Can’t complain; at least there’s options.

2 out of 4 SST20-4000Ks have a slightly whiter tint than my other 2. Not as white as the 5000k by far. Those 2 heat up faster as well. Same batteries. They were ordered at once w/o expedited shipping. In green and grey tube colors. Not sure what’s going on.

Tint and bin lottery?

Hi again. I made precise measurements this time in different situations so i am absolutely shure that the temperature sensor is set correctly it sat all night and checked with laser thermometer. On max ramp it just steps down in 10 seconds it reaches 30° inside. when i double click on turbo everything works as it should it stays with very slight step-down on more than 3000lm for 3 to 5 minutes reaching abive 60°. I played with it and in every situation in ramping it starts to step-down immediately no matter what lumen value, it steps down on 3000lm and in 1300lm equal. There is no issue with setting i have a lot anduril lights they all wait to get max temperature limits to start to step down, here it happens only in turbo mode in every other stage of ramping it immediately hits rock bottom. If smoen have the time it is easy to check this with a lux meter app on the phone with ceiling bounce. Am i only one who have this issue with MF01 MINI.

Yeah, it goes super bright then dives off a cliff. This is an uncalibrated light, though.

I’m going to flash the newest Anduril to it soon and see how it goes.

Jist to ad something wich is weird , when the battery is below 3.7V there is no longer rapid step-down in the same lumens i tried it with 1800lm i put new battery 4.2v and ramp to 1800lm and the flashlight rapidly stepped down, then i put battery at 3.7v and ramp to 1800lm and it holds for minutes with slight fluctuations (the batteries are the same) i don’t what is happening and why, if someone have the knowledge to answer I’ll be happy.

Man, that is a strange one. Toykeeper is the only one that might know why the voltage effects the step down.

Finally received my gun gray 4000K but haven’t played with it yet except i can confirm the battery check reads 0.15-0.20V low.

The fully charged 26650 reads 4.17V on an Opus BT-C3100 and my DMM but the MF01 Mini blinks 4 - 0.

Will LVP kick-in early then?

Specs for XPL-HI ? Or comparative XPL-HI vs SST20 ? :slight_smile:

I know for certain this question has been asked several times by several users. And there hasn’t been a response to the question. The question is will Astrolux make the aluminum version in XPL-HI? Freeme or someone affiliated with Astrolux please answer the question? Had it been offered the first go around surely sales would have increased by a large margin. In my opinion nothing compares to the XPL-HI in 4000k to 3000k tint when figuring in color and output. And for some reason every company is offering anything else but that. I don’t get it. Please someone answer the above question!

Astrolux is Banggoods brand name. A few manufacturers put that logo on their product to be sold exclusively at Banggood as an Astrolux. Banggood is evidently not buying the more expensive version for their banner. Mateminco makes these lights and sells them with the XPL-Hi on other sites as a Mateminco.

How do we purchase a Mateminco? Thank you for explaining that to me.

Is their a holster accessory that fits this light nicely? I got one for my MF01S.
