@freeme

Both sleeves are included.

1 x 18650 to 26650 battery tube

1 x 21700 to 26650 battery tube

@Artiet59

Freeme- I have a HUGE Request for this model- Can you request the manufacturer includes a 21700 to 26650 battery sleeve Preferably the same one they shipped in the MF01 mini? I had to order multiples from AX (BG doesn’t carry them or I couldn’t find them) for my ft03’s and they took 3 months to come in. And they were the same ones astrolux included with mf01. I feel many people will run a 21700 and that sleeve is invaluable, I know you technically don’t need it but it’s nice to have! If possible! Thanks, For everything!

Thanks!

No offence to anyone but I don’t think 1x26650 makes sense these days, with 21700 cells catching up capacity a single 26650 cell makes the body wider and that’s about it.

I think very few people here are going to disagree with you on this. And defintely don’t think you’re offending anyone. Until Samsung/Panasonic/Sony starts making 26650’s, 21700 are the way to go.

The best 26650 cells can sustain significantly higher currents with much less voltage sag than 21700s of the same capacity. Not a big deal for lights drawing 10A or less but for lights with multi or high-power emitters there is definitely an advantage.

Just like we now have some 16340, 18350 and 14500 with newer chemistries the same will almost certainly happen for 26650 down the road as wel.

I did not know about 26650’s better handling of voltage sag with higher current loads… hopefully we see manufacturers putting more effort into developing non battery pack 26650 batteries. I was defintely against the 21700 movement until about 4 months ago, mostly because I needed a new charger for them. I was totally on the 26650 team until I experienced the array of lights using 21700’s, and there benefits as well. I have some Efest 26650 4200 mah purple that are pretty good, but my ft03s for example seems to run better on the 40t’s. Who knows, I have no way of measuring it afterall.

Interested in blue xhp50.2.

Thanks.

Thanks for the coupon, ordered.

I have a question, do you know if this flashlight work with flat top batteries? i want buy Vapcells and need know this, thanks in advance.

[ArtieT59]

I am going with the assumption that YES it will work with flat top batteries, already ordered a couple extra 40t’s… Hope i’m right lol.

I’m interested. Thanks!

Nice light list! Question - which GT do you like more? The xhp35 or 70?

Sorry about the random question…

The XHP35 GT definitely has a hotter beam than the XHP70.2 but I much prefer the 70.2. It’s like a light cannon on turbo. I’ll see if I can take a comparison picture this evening.

@freeme

Deal is alive now.

2 questions:

1- In some of the photos I see what appear to be auxiliary LEDs, is this so? Does this model have auxiliary LEDs? what kind of LEDs?

2- What is the name of the equivalent model in Mateminco? Do you know any other place to find more photos or information about this flashlight?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Decided to try checking Mateminco flashlights in Taobao site, and noticed that the picture of the "Mateminco MT04" looks quite similar to the Astrolux EA01.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a21wu.12321156-tw.0.0.7ab1771fNmuPIx&amp;id=631647766191

However, there seem to be more variants of the MT04 than the EA01.

Astrolux EA01, single SST40 or single XHP50.2 (TIR optic)

From what I can understand, the Mateminco MT04 can also come in single SST40 or single XHP50.2, but additionally also single SST20 (?).
Plus also there are quad-LED variants (also 4x SST20 / 4x SST40 / 4x XHP50.2)

**note: I may misunderstand the product description of the Mateminco MT04 on the Mateminco Taobao website though. It could perhaps be the MT04 uses the same body as the EA01, but the MT04 is quad-LED whereas the EA01 is single-LED...

If only tesla or samsung made 26650 cells but they are not , consider 26650 a bit outdated . 21700 is the future and other batteries where 26650 will not.
