In, any info about the modes?
It would be great if there was no mode cycling, just last mode memory.
Long press to change mode.
I agree regard use internal contact tube to avoid body corrosion in salt water,anyway still small compact size.
I also like have Red body color,simple ramping driver and triple/quad sst20 2700k(JA3).
But when for a small AA/14500 diving light?
The inner contact tube will not be in this flashlight. It's already in production.
Perhaps in other diving models of Astrolux.

Hi Fin17
I see you put me on the list. I never said I’m interested, I’m not if this is what it is. You asked about opinion of divers so I answered. I wrote if you make second one I wrote about I will be interested.
Also we still don’t know what kind of user interface it has.
+1 smooth reflector, even slightly cloudy water makes OP poor choice
- 1 thermal not timed
I rarely use anything other than high mode so 21700 best
Strobe is often used to signal other divers
Extra O rings
Interested depending on price. I agree SMO might be better for underwater use. I haven’t use any diving lights for scuba dives but they’re also very useful for wet caving.
Fin17 can you tell us what UI it has?
Interested
Interested. Thanks!
Carrying a current through the body is not an issue. The issue is a potential difference on the exterior of the light only. Otherwise, yes, damage to the anodization will result in corrosion just because of the nature of salt water.
Please refer to this thread for reference.
Samples are tested...

Guys, we’re familiar with mateminco/astrolux quality control aren’t we? Remember the FT03S’s reflector and other issues? Remember how the HL01’s 18350 tube didn’t properly fit many 18350s? Do you really want a diving light from them?
didn’t have any problems with the many lights I bought from them
I’m interested
Diving gear need nitrile or viton NBR 70 or 90 o-rings. Silicone o-rings are not serious, too soft, too weak.
And agree, super simple UL 2 modes

Very interested pending price. New Diver here with about 15 dives in my log. I’ve used a dive light with an XM-L2 and a reflector a littler larger than the convoy tube lights, as well as smaller light with what I think was an Xp-L2 in it, maybe it was an XP-G3 in a warmer tint that turned completely purple/UV light looking at 80-90 feet down. On land, I like warm led tints, but at 70+ feet down, what the best led tint to not turn copletely purple? Is there high-CRI at that depth? I’m using it for primary/vision purposes and signaling others, not photography. I think I’m going to order the sofirn SD05 for the incredible price, but I wish it came with an SST-40 option for increased throw/efficiency.
Thanks!
