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

Thanx, I may end up buying this light and all 26650s I can buy are expensive and inferior to 21700s like 40T

XHP50.2 Blue code, please

21700 batteries will fit the EA01 with adapter, although may get slightly compressed if it’s a bit longer (unprotected) 21700.

With EA01 (with XHP50.2), I’d say 21700 batteries will be good.

Unfortunately my EA01 (with SST40), turns bluish even when using not-high-drain 26650 batteries… since it shipped with this bluish-on-high-brightness problem… BG is “still processing” my complaint for this issue… They mention will send a new light bulb to me (I wonder what it meant — I doubt they mean they’ll ship a complete replacement flashlight since they just said “light bult”…)

Interested!

Hope everything turns out fine with BG

I received a nice Acebeam E10 today (it was my prize for the OL competition :party: ), which is the same form factor as the Astrolux EA01, so here they are next to each other for comparison.

The Acebeam is lighter built, w/o battery it is 98 gram, vs 133 gram for the Astrolux. The TIR’s are the same diameter and work the same, but they are not the same TIR. No idea if one is better than the other, these two flashlight have a vastly different emitter (SST40 and White Flat) so the beams and throw can not be compared. The Acebeam 26350 battery with charging port is well too long for the Astrolux.

Already alive? I’m interested in the SST40 Version.

If still available, I would like a code for a black XHP 50.2 please.

Dzeric · January 25, 2021, 1:33am

Will this eventually be available with colored orsam emitters?

greymage · January 25, 2021, 4:47am

May I have a code for the XHP50.2 version please?

Thanks.

Sorry, think you forgot me

XHP50 Version

TheAuditor · January 25, 2021, 10:39am

Has anyone else had the turning blue issue with the SST40 version?

ArtieT59 · January 25, 2021, 11:31am

I have not. I Have sst40 5000k

djozz · January 25, 2021, 12:50pm

Could be a chip of alu under the ledboard preventing good thermal contact with the body. Or one of the holes in the ledboard shelve that has a protruding edge.

Depending on your mood or skills you could
1)contact Banggood about it, or
2)open the head, unsolder the ledboard and have a look at what is wrong. Then assemble the proper way.

Ordered Grey XHP50.2 5700K

Thanks.

pennzy · January 25, 2021, 5:03pm

Thanks freeme, order placed. Hope it ships before Feb. 23rd.

pennzy · January 25, 2021, 6:59pm

What battery gives the longest run time and can handle the XHP50.2 amp draw. I don’t need every last lumen.

Rick1 · January 25, 2021, 7:59pm

And ordered

phantom23 · January 25, 2021, 8:06pm

Just get the highest capacity ones and avoid turbo. High (the highest ramping mode) is still plenty bright.
