Im wondering :

is there a magnet in the tailcap?

Does the switch have a light in it?

Anyone who knows, or has ordered one, please chime in?

I don’t think that there is a magnet in the tailcap if it is not mentioned. The switch could have a light in it, it looks half transparent.

I like it.

thank you!

just to be clear I did do a search for the a03 before I started this thread :)

my bad..

No problem. It can happen to anyone to miss a thread on BLF but better ask twice than buy a flashlight without coupon. :wink: It is good to point out which things are not clarified in the description.

thanks skylight! And congrats on that Amutorch GAW by the way !

Is this a throwy or floody led?

SFS80 is very similar in size to XHP35 HI. So it’s really hard to call it either. In a small OP reflector, it will result in a fairly ‘floody’ beam with large hotspot. There is potential for this emitter to be a good thrower, but 14500 won’t push it hard enough to get it into a thrower class. 2mm² or smaller for 14500 ’throwers’IMO and SMO or clear TIRs.

This light is very similar of Manker E11 as design and UI . I have old clone of it Utorch UT01 and this is of least used light in my collection. I think that Astrolux have better design but UI is awfull.

I physical design is oddly attractive to me. But yeah, the UI is a hard pass.

One nerd-ass comment about it’s proportions… (pleaseexcuseme… clears throat) is that this light nails the cube of the golden ratio.

Okay. I’m leaving
