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

Hi, interest xhp50.2, thanks

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 :wink:

I placed the order. Thank you again!

Interested in the SST40 version. Thanks!

Wow! I saw the sst40 mt04 on there for low $45 … I need to look harder

SST-20 only. But there is 4000K (CRI95) …

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.

It won’t be very interesting. Only the letters will differ … :wink:

Huh? Did someone else post pics of a EA01 tear down?

Not that I saw. Look forward to it as I have one in the pipe line.

Just posted a tear down of the Mateminco MT01 (Astrolux EA01) here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/65546. Probably will be adding to it soon.

Are the codes still available? I would like one please.

Thanks Tom E!!

Are there still codes available? Can I get one?

I would like to ask a question to the owners of Astrolux EA01 (or Mateminco MT01), who have a blue flashlight. I see that the TIR optics are transparent and have the ability to see anodizing from the inside of the head. Does this affect the light? Perhaps it was from these considerations that I ordered myself a gray one … It seems to me that some spectrum drift into a colder one is possible. Interesting in the SST-40 5000K version…

I just got in a blue EA01 XHP50.2 5700K, already had a grey MT01 SST-40 5000K. I don't think the color of the anodizing effects the beam/tint, but someone who better understands the optics would know better. The blue shell sure looks blue. I got a FT03 in blue and think they match up pretty well. I do know they use something like plumbers putty to cover up the switch hole and it's wires - not sure what that's about, but it's in both my EA01 and MT01.

Are there any differences besides the LED and the inscriptions on the case? :slight_smile:

No. There were some QC issues with the EA01:

  • SS head had some sharp edges, actually burrs - used a rounded file to file them down, all good now. Probably would have torn up a pocket pretty good.
  • noticeable fibers and specks in the optics. Not sure where, either on the optic or MCPCB or both
  • some small amounts of what appears to be a clear glue on the outside of the tailcap. Didn't remove them yet, but not a significant issue.

Noe of those issues, or anything else noticeable was with the MT01, though it's probably just luck of the draw, doubt it's because one is Mateminco and the other Astrolux.
