[♛ FreemeGB-DEC] ASTROLUX FT02 XHP70.2 4600lm 437m 21700 18650 microUSB (2020) Group Buy - Deal is ALIVE!

Well, i was hoping for more than 1500 lumens. For example my MHVAST TS70 holds 1,700 lumens for at least 20 minutes before reducing further, and that’s only 33mm head. With the head diameter of nearly 60mm, i was certainly hoping for something upstream of 2,500 lm….otherwise what’s even the point of getting this light….it’s large enough and high output enough and looks nice but the battery is only 21700, so capacity is limited…if it could at least sustain higher lumen levels, it could be kinda attractive. Otherwise, there are smaller lights that will do the same job better.

If driver was updated like promissed this could be one helluva light. At this point is just a paperweight on my desk.

Driver failed after 3rd turn on...

I received a reply yesterday from them asking me if I read the instructions and to send them a video of the problem. I sent them a picture of my meter connected to the light showing the draw when off. too hard for me to do a video. Please let me know if anyone else hears anything.

I think the hard part will be to get them to even recognize this as a problem. Please keep us posted. My guess is it will take them a while to even understand what you are trying to tell them. They have been known to take their sweet time bouncing an issue off betweeen “ their departments” before even recognizing and responding the right way. And then they start the with the banggood style negotiation which makes no sense like… will you accept 40 banggood points , no? How about $5, no? How about 9.34?
I am very interested how this one turns out. Wishing you all the luck with these folks.

For the video, maybe you can use some kind of selfie stick or somehow anchor your phone and direct it down so it can record? If the video gets too long / heavy you can upload it to yandex. Disc or something and send them a link. I’ve done it in the past.

Thank you for the advice , I wrote them a very harsh response, and if I do not hear back soon I will file a claim with Paypal.

I sent them videos, photos and several emails and after over a month waiting they offered me 20$ reffund.

I denied it. What i want instead is updated driver, i’ll do the swap.

@freeme : would you be so kind and step into?

Their second response was a 10.00 refund, I responded with a NO, not acceptable, I want a full refund!!

And this us another response...

So what are you going to do ? chance it and have them send you a replacement or ask for a refund ?

I just need a driver, nothing else...

u need a working light id30209

Not another one, just a driver.

Received a message yesterday , saying that they are sorry for not being able to respond in time, but would I please contact them on Sunday.

Kudos to Banggood, they are issuing a refund, received the message this morning !!!

And i’m getting replacement. I asked for driver but they didn’t specify anything

Guys, those who are happy with the light, can you share more details about it? Beam profile, sustainable lumen level, time in turbo before the output starts dialing down? Any other impressions? I am on the fence about ordering one. Thanks!

Dammit I rather they fix the driver, put in USB-C instead of sending refunds. I want this light for use with the GT-FC40 emitter!

I just got BG info about new shipping. Not sure if they are sending me new driver or another FT02 2020.

I’ll let you know when it gets here.

Sorry, I just saw your driver replacement request. Do you want me to find out what BG sent to you?

If you could check what's in the mail that would be great.

Thx!
