It is to open and at least mine has not taken any damage.
The bezel is holding a glas lens, underneath a white o-Ring, followed by the TIR.
The TIR has 3 feet sitting in 3 holes of the MCB to avoid rotating.
If I could upload photos here directly I would add them…
Thanks Tom! Glad you were able to get one to ship a little sooner too. The blue is really nicely done, but I’m with you on the green. Astrolux does nice greens too. Btw just ordered a d4s in green, can’t wait!
They’re throwers so they’re less versatile, also they’re chunkier due to they type of cells they use (21700 is the future and they’re already cheaper than 26650). They’re good but I don’t think they will be particularily successful.
I agree as to how nice they are. I have a real affinity for them. But, as someone stated I think the battery size tube will hold them back a little, but mostly I think the PRICE will hold them back from ever being as popular as the ec01. Abd I like the ea01 more then the ec01. But I feel what has made the ec01 so popular is how solid of a performer it is, anduril, usbc AND you can get them for $22 many times a year… that’s hard to compete with…
BUT, you’re right they are going to be around for awhile
I don’t get it. Its $44 with coupon and it takes 26650, 2100, and 18650 batteries. It also takes 26350 and comes with matching tube. How is the battery size holding it back?
I’m starting to like this light. Same as some other lights from astrolux…
Really like the blue color. Only downside is that the led choices are not really what I want.
The ‘warmest’ xhp50.2 might be to cool for me. But that probably won’t hold me back for long.
Sorry, yea that doesn’t make sense what I said, I meant the larger diameter of the battery tube COULD hold some people back from buying it. As the ec01’s smaller (although nit much smaller) battery tube may lend itself more toward edc. But you make a good point, the versatility of the ea01 tube is more desirable I’d say
Good picture to compare, thank you! Was thinking of ordering the MF01 Mini, but read there are too many problems with heat sink unfortunately. EA01 will be much better on that for sure.
