FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX FT03S SBT90.2 4500lm 1428m 26650/ 21700/ 18650 Flashlight - EXPIRED

I’m curious when they’re going to actually be back in stock. I preordered my black one on December 13th 2019 and they never reshipped it after the first failed shipping attempt on January 9th 2020. I asked them many times since then when it may be back in stock considering they sold mine to someone else. I finally got sick of it on April 2nd and asked them to cancel my order once I realized no other colors were in stock either. For some reason the website has said they are in stock but as far as I’ve been told (as of the 2nd) they aren’t.

Finally,what cells are OK for the job?I now have one black Keeppower.

Which Keeppower?
The unprotected 6000mah is okay for this light, but to really get max output you need less capacity and higher amperage. I high drain cell is preferred.

No,it is of 5200mAh.

Okay, that is a pretty weak battery with a lot of voltage sag. It should work if its unprotected, but dont expect full power. If its protected you’ll probably get even less power. You might only see about 10A from it which is way less power than the light is capable of.

Anyone ever end up trying this reflector?

Were the issues with this light ever fixed?

Not that I’ve heard. I ordered a Noctigon K1 SBT90.2 instead.

I bought the Nightwatch NI40 instead but I’m still interested in this light as well

I’m interested in the group buy coupon code. Thank you.

Sent.

What was that? :open_mouth:

Interested, thanks!

Any word on this one? Still on the horizon? I’m hoping for a happy medium between ft03s and mf05.

It would be very similar to the GT90

I should have ordered the gt90 on the first group buy but I didn’t, now it says sold out until feburary 12th. Not sure what that’s all about but definitely not ordering it like that. I don’t mind a little wait but I have limits.

Where did you get that freeme post from? Here is probably what happened: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/49859/345

Well that explains a lot. That post was way up in this thread but I never heard the update. Thanks for the response, I guess I’ll have to go with the gt90.

I’m guessing the notice on Neil’s site saying out of stock until Feburary 12th is referring to 2020, and never got updated after it came back in stock. I sent him a message asking. If it is available I’ll probably just order that one.

Well this is weird, I traded reflectors with an sst40 version and the ft03s that was not round before was then round but had darker area inside the center spot, and the sst40 did have a bigger center spot, so I swapped them back. Then I thought I would try trading on the 50.2 version, and the F03S is much better, and round. It also did not seem to mess up the 50.2 version as badly, and the center spot on it is still round…weird. If Astrolux was going to upgrade at 3 times the price, it seems they should have not sent the upgraded lights out faulty. One observation, when screwed back on, any of the 3 lights containing the FT03S mirror would afterward have a very small gap between the lens cover and the body of the light. That means the reflector was in fact a little…very little, bit longer…perhaps 1/4 mm at the most. That gap was smallest with that reflector in the 50.2 version. There is still a gap, but less than existed with that reflector in the other 2. If I left that white insulator off the gap might not be there at all, but what might leaving it out lead to. Think I will leave well enough alone, but that tiny gap might affect the waterproof of the lens cover, so I want test the 2 meter underwater on it either.

AWESOME LIGHT! I HAD TO BUY A COUPLE OF THEM.
