Review - Astrolux EC03 3xXHP50.2 6700 Lumen Flashlight

Thank you for your very detailed and thoroughly comprehensive review. I ordered one of these right away as soon as I could. Because of the price value; practically free. I’ve got two more of these very attractive practically free flashlights on order now. I like the beam profile: a very nice mix of throw and power. It feels not too heavy and not too light, and the stainless bezel and the smooth ample reflective wells impart nice looks, too. Thanks again!

Great review!

Thanks everyone for your comments, pleased you enjoyed my review. I’m really pleased with the EC03 and considering it’s sale price it’s accessible to most flashaholics.

Agreed on both parts. That FT03 green color is amazing. :cry:

Cell like liitokala 4000mah 40A can be use for EC03

Do you think it would be considered an upgrade to a similar light, the Sofirn C8F (3X XPL 21700 battery)? I don’t talk about the turbo mode but general runtime at medium brightness?

Good review and read :+1: I will be ordering one tomorrow in the now available 5700K, one of my favorite tints :smiley:

The dimensions of the liitokala 4000mah 40a are very similar to the batteries I used so it should fit in the flashlight ok. I dont know how well they will perform in Turbo mode. Depends on their performance on high drain which may not be as good as the Samsungs.

I dont have any LiitoKala Lii-40A 21700 so I cant check

Samsung 40T Approximate Dimensions: 21.1mm x 70.4mm
liitokala 4000mah 40a Dimensions: 21.2mm x 70.4mm

The Sofrin C8F is a slightly larger flashlight with dimensions 149mm (length)*44.6mm (head diameter)
EC03 is smaller at 126mm x 48.5mm and lighter which may be important to you

Also the UI firmware differs. You may not prefer the flexible Andúril UI with ramping modes vs fixed in the C8F

I cant compare the runtimes as I dont have a C8F so cant comment on any differences sorry. I’m unsure as to which is more efficient and the affect of temp throttling. Maybeothers with both can better comment.

5700k look good though compare 6500k and 5000k…I’m amazed

I like how it just puts out a massive wall of light with good distance as well. I ordered the 5700K last night because the tint looked so much better then the 6500K :confounded: I wish manufacturers would stay away from the 6500K emitters, all it does is spill out into the atmosphere causing a blinding effect with poor long distance sight in higher power torches. I just missed the, ships in 24 hours, AKA in stock. My order said will ship by Aug 20th meaning I will see it in three weeks or so.

Liitokala Lii-40A 21700 will fit and work on the EC03, but performance (Turbo mode) will not match other more powerful batteries.

Very nice review!
Do you recommended samsung INR 21700 30T or 40T with this flashlight?

I recommend the 40t.

Thank you!

Hello, can you tell me if you’d think it would be okay to us a Samsung 50e2 cell for the E03? Thanks in advance!!

Yes, but turbo won’t be as bright

Thank you!!! You’re great!

Hi, can you please advise me? I have an Astrolux EC03 3xXHP50.2, but it only shines at peak power for a few seconds. I understand that performance will decrease for high temperatures. But the na.max power shines for about 10s. The second highest level also shines for a few seconds and then lowers to a very small level. So for longer use the performance is very small. Is not it too little?

The batteries are tested:

21700 Samsung 40T 4000mAh 35A
18650 ShockLi 3600mAh 20A
