I talked to manufacturer as initially they had the SST20 quad version only on Taobao. He said that this version is discontinued, but he moved some last pieces also to his Ali stock. I took it because I have another much larger quad with throwy LEDs and I like its beam a lot, tight spot with decent spill. SST20 with 4000K and high CRI also peaked my curiosity, as I dont have any light with this LED yet. As for the other quad versions (SST40 and XHP50.2), they are still being offered, both at Tao and Ali as well. I just think that they are too much of a hotrod in such compact body, limiting its practical use.
Big thanks for this info…Anyway,i dont see it still on their store on ali…Its still sold out.Iam interested for quad xhp neutral still…So probably we have to wait till the end of their holidays…?
The way I look at it, if you want a quad, get the FT02S. EA01 has a wonderful beam pattern with the single LED and the TIR lens. All that goes away by converting it to quad.
Thats why I considered the SST20 option only. Should be still a tight throwy beam, with good tint and high CRI. Strange that there is no video review of this version, I will maybe post some beamshots when I get it.
The sst20 is interesting me more now that I have seen that video you shared of sst40 and xhp50. Specifically the throw capability of the quad sst20. I’ve never ordered from Taobao, is it possible if you live in the US?
I never ordered anything from Tao, that page even fails to load properly for me due to chinese characters etc. In their Ali store, there is still some quad SST20 stock left, seems that currently the SST40 and XHP50 is sold out.
Dioda on Ali , in the Mateminco store model MT04
I ordered myself Mateminco MT01 SST40 , without any coupons (no, there is a dollar from the store) with free shipping $ 34.99
from way back post #302, I got a Mateminco MT01 w/SST-40 5000K in and should be the same as the Astrolux. I'll open it up andpost pics hoping in the next couple days.
