See comparison.
✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX MF05 SBT90.2 7000lm 3000m+ Thrower Searchlight - $390 (restocked) + Free Charger
Yes, it seems that it almost uses the same driver as the flashlight.. lol
4 clicks is actually battery check
5 clicks is lockout
6 clicks is eternal lockout... (not kidding)
I wish the camera man could take a few steps to the right. 
I ordered another to pull apart because they are glued
If anybody is interested in a full review of the Astrolux MF05,
check out my review at 1lumen.com

I'm also busy with a video review, but that might come later.... or never.. who knows
Whoa, what do you intend to do with it?
I'm wondering too - OSRAM W1?
Not sure yet i just want to see what is inside :person_facepalming:
I have the MT90P+ version of this light. My fan handle actually has 4 different modes.
3 clicks turns it on high
double click while on switches to pulse mode,
another double click puts it in random fan power mode
another double click puts it in low mode. cant hear it in low mode… then press and hold to turn off.
Yes, you're correct. I have that in the review as well. Still think it's a little strange.
Still no update on my MF05 since August 8th. Did anyone else choose USA Priority Mail as their shipping method and are experiencing the same issue? I have not received confirmation that mine is in the US yet.
Same here, mine was also USA Priority Mail, no updates since August 7th. Tracking on aftership shows it is actually a China EMS (ePacket), probably would transition to USPS priority once it hits the shores. I’m wondering if they assumed there was a battery in it and sent it to a boat instead of an airplane, aftership shows it being ‘returned’ twice, then sent again, so something (another unrelated package possibly) in the shipping container it was using probably was causing them to not want to load it. All guesses, hoping I hear something soon.
interested
Did you see a note in tracking history, about entry to USA Customs?
Also, just a mention about observing battery carrier correct polarity. Somewhere out there, someone using modified carriers did not correctly observe battery polarity and as a result, phun duqued up.
Even when the light and/or the carrier is unmodified, I try to take the whatever I am thinking about out of my head, and think about slowing down and double checking correct cell polarity. It's not easy, because I have three Led Zeppelin songs playing loud in my head, while I am worrying about the decline and fall of human civilization, while I am inserting cells into a light or carrier, while I am in a rush to make people happy on time.
Hääääääääää,what the heck?
I dont have a stock MT90P+. I bought Vinhs fully modded Spec C version with driver VNX2. Features continuous turbo(no step down). 2S4P battery configuration. can run any number of cells. 1 cell can still give over 2mcd, Internal resistance made as low as possible. With all the cells Vinh measured 2.9mcd. However he only measures at 7.5 meters. I measure at 10 meters. I got 3.3mcd. I was like damn maybe i dd something wrong. after mutiple tests i was getting from 3.15 - 3.3 mcd every time. My suspensions were confirmed when another member with the same Spec C light got 3.2mcd. He also measured at 10 meters. That said I still dont think even 10 meters is far enough. The beam on this beast is still converging on its self at 10 meters and does not fully mature until about 15 meters so for now take these throw readings with a grain of salt until i can try a lux test farther away.
Throw Measurements
MT90Vn+ spec C: 3.3 MCD
Maxtoch L2K LEP: 2.089 MCD
K75VN with VN2X: 1.7 MCD
FireFox FF5 4300K: 1.2 MCD
Firefox FF5 6000K: 930 KCD
I did a heat test to see how well this massive host can tame the SBT90 led . I did with out fan first and then with the fan. I think the results speak for them selves. With no fan output only drops 10% from minute 1 - 10
I compare the light to a few of my other lights below.
Top left MT90Vn+ Spec C, Top right Maxtoch L2K LEP, bottom is my K75vn(low exposure shot at 9 meters to show intensity difference)
MT90Vn+ vs K75vn

My readings with two different lux meters at switch on.
I just received my Astrolux MF05 from BangGood today. What a beast. Light works great, except for the fan. Fan will not turn on with 3 clicks to the button. When inserting a freshly charged 21700 battery, plus (+) side facing in, there is no initial flashing button light. Fan does not work! I've watch a youtube video of a working fan and followed the button clicks to lock/unlock, turn on, etc... and nothing happens.
Battery: 21700 Samsung INR21700-40T 4000mAh High Discharge Flat Top
Any ideas?
I will contact BangGood tomorrow and see if it's even possible to get a replacement fan.
thanks!
maybe the battery must be button top? since the 40t isnt… otherwise idk…
