Here’s what Freeme said a while back.
freeme:
MF06 is more of a high performance, high CRI, medium size flashlight. Completely different form factor from MF03. More appealing for the masses, in terms of weight, power, and price.
I can guarantee that at least 95+% of the members here (including me), have not owned a light with such configuration.
Probably, the DX80 uses 8 x 18650 and a decent size head. Not much smaller than the MF03.
To be smaller I’m thinking either 4 x 18650, 3 x 18650 or 2 x 26650.
Here is a comparison pic with the DX80 on the left. It’s pretty big. I’m thinking the MF06 could be sized more like the middle two lights.
Maybe the size of the old fan cooled Microfire L500R as seen below. ($400, 3 x 18650, btw)
This would be a nice size.

That Microfire looks really good. Would be cool if they just update those with modern emitters.

I’m not sure they are still in business. Their website works, but does not seem to be updated since 2017.

Probably after MF05? There are quite a lot of work needed from their prototype.

Any more info?

I know that months ago you told us that the project was put on hold but … could you ask Astrolux if they has made any progress? No matter how small it is. I hope don’t hear that the project has been canceled.

Maybe once MF05 starts shipping we will get an update?

MF04v2 will be known as MF05 model instead.
MF05 preorder will happen end of next month.
Active cooling “mini monster” is in pending state.
Is MF04 body not suitable for some reason? will it ever get a new emitter?
Don’t get why MF02 got sbt90 but they had to change body for MF04 to MF05?

They didn’t change the body they just changed the name only.

Head and body are completely different… MF04 vs MF05

ASTROLUX MF04 REVIEW
INTRODUCTION:
Throughout the review I will talk about the Atrolux MF04, but it is the same light as the Mateminco MT35 Plus.
From specs this is going to go after the BLF GT that I also reviewed. The MF04 is going to be a very interesting competitor when it comes to long-range flashlights.
I, and many others, have been looking forward to this extreme far reaching flashlight since it was announced. It is supposed to reach as far as the BLF GT, b…

Oh, you want to know why they went with a bigger head and air cooling for a SBT-90.2 light instead of just putting that led into the existing MF04 body. I got mixed up.
I can only speculate that they wanted to build something better than the GT 90. Something that stood out and got attention.
I suppose a modder could convert an MF04 by swapping the LED in, replacing the driver with a FET unit and converting the carrier to 3 volt.

My assumptions are that the MF04 cant handle a SBT90.2 very well, where a GT is somewhat over dimensioned.
The MF04 is a lot lighter, which means less material, less thermal mass, less fins, less of everything, check the difference
