✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX FT03 Mini XHP50.2 (4200lm) / SST40 Anduril AUX LEDs USB-C 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE

interested blue one

Colored mini just became available on BG

Group buy is ALIVE now.

@freeme

Can you confirm what djozz asked before?

Ordered a blue one.

Regulated driver at max 4.8A. Lights will undergo 24hrs test before shipping.

Ordered a green on green

Is this the same driver that is in the Noctigon KR1?

Anyone know how much this thing throws? BG product page says 860m but is it true (white LED)?

Apparently this light does not have Anduril. No AUX LEDs either.

What is the colour temp for the orange one? 2500K? Is it good as fog light?

1) No.

2) "860m" should be for green. White could be 5XXm?

3) My mistake for including AUX and Anduril in the title. I have already fixed.

From the pics of the beamshots, green looks like the best thrower, which makes sense from the NM1 specs and other tests/rating comparisons of the white and green.

What you comprehend as best thrower colour also can be explained by which colour is the easiest for the human eye to process.

Interested in NM.1

Ok, but Look at the K1 W1 green throw ratings, compared to W1 white.

And Maxtoch Archer W1 based light here.

I wonder if the sensitivity of the Lux meter being used is also going to influence the measurements. I have no idea how different colors will be interpreted by it.

This also explains why car fog lights are yellow. They are not allowed to be red, green or blue, because of the traffic lights. And they don’t want all kinds of different fog light colours in the traffic like pink, cyan, violet, turquoise etc. Therefor the improvised standard for fog lights is yellow (3000K). So for a flashlight to be used as a fog light outside the traffic, red, blue and green may still be the best, as these correspond to the red, green and blue receptors in the eye.

Pre-ordered the orange.
Thanks freeme.

Also with the best luxmeter you will find that this green led is a significantly better thrower than the white version, for an explanation see here: Osram Ostar Projection PC-green tested, KP CSLNM1 F1

djozz - is the OP still accurate? Another words, the green LED could be driven at it's max of ~7 amps and without issues?

I was thinking this, and the 4.5 amp NM1 drivers everyone wants for white is not desirable for the green version, if you want max amps and output of course. So this further confuses the lumens and throw of green - clearly at the same amps, it's better, but compared at their peak amps the green is way better. Then again, looking at lumens, the difference from 4.5 amps to 6.5 amps isn't that great really. maybe ~10%
