FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX EA01 SST40 (2300lm)/ XHP50.2 (3500lm) TIR 26650/ 26350 Flashlight Group Buy - ALIVE!

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… :smiley:

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

is the Astrolux EA01 Grey exactly the same as the Astrolux MF01 Mini Grey?

thanks in advance

MF01-Mini grey seems to be slightly darker grey than EA01 grey

FT02S green seems to be a bit darker green than MF01-Mini olive green

thank you very much for that picture! Helped me alot

best

Thanks for sharing with us!

Hi! I’ve not ordered any lights for a while but this looks interesting.
Are there still a code for this?

Order placed!

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.

I ordered my mf01 mini 3 months ago and the heat sink that came in it from BG is brass. I was part of The thread for the custom copper heat sinks here on blf, but ended up no needing one bc astrolux APPEARS To have fixed the problem. I remember others saying their new mf01 mini came with the copper brass as well in that thread. The mf01 mini is another home run light by Astrolux

The MINI is quite good IMO. I think the heatsink issue is fixed in the current ones, I got one a few months ago and it had the brass heatsink (although fitted the wrong way round). But it does get HOT, simply due to what it is.

The EA01 is a far more versatile torch IMO. And due to being a single emitter it pulls a lot less amps on High or Turbo. And thusly a lot less heat to manage.

How can you tell which heatsink you have? I removed my head and there is a white plastic showing.

Copper was only from a custom add-on, ordered and installed by the buyer (you?), so if it's from the factory or BG, must be brass.

OK TY

If you take the head off the battery tube and underneath the head where the positive battery contact is it is surrounded by white plastic then you have the plastic insert. Not brass

Ohhh, my bad. Was think'n the question was between copper or brass, but there was plastic originally, but plastic isn't a heatsink

LOL, it certainly is NOT (cough, cough, Astrolux, cough….)

Zoulas - here is the factory inserted Brass (the ring that has the two screws in it)

Good to see the problem is solved, had it on my shortlist (that is getting longer and longer)
