FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX FT03S SFH55 9300lm & FT03 SFT40 2200lm 1300m NarsilM v1.3 USB-C - ALIVE

Thanks, I have been considering the L21B, but the truth is, I am in no hurry.

is the L21b w/sft40 in stock, Freeme?

Less throw the reflector is smaller and you miss out on the side switch and charger.

The way I look at it, slightly larger reflector = more throw, on-board charging, glowing switch and Narsil in favor of the FT03. Lighter, slightly smaller and with 8-amp buck driver (around 900 lumens after stepdown) for the Convoy.

Hi,
Would the ASTROLUX FT03 with LUMINUS SFT40 inside be comparable with the Acebeam K70 in regards of throw?
Thanks
K.

See here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/54922/3037, 430 kcd, rated at 400 kcd. K70 rated at 422 kcd, but don't know what it really does.

The Convoy’s 8A buck driver is far more beneficial than a FET+1 driver. I’m also concerned about driving these emitters too hard, remember Djozz only tested 1pc. Black spots have been appearing on some and I’ve heard that some bins don’t like to be driven too hard.

The Convoy L21B with 8A driver gets 1200m which is plenty

Interested

Still on hold.

Interested. When?

When? Convoy is back with several options in sft40: M21A, M21B, M21C, M21D, M21E, 3X21A, S16, S21A, L21A, L21B, Z1. What´s up with Astrolux?

It’s now more than 2 months since I ordered the Astrolux FT03 (SFT40), but BG still lists it as no stock.

I wonder if BG will automatically cancel the order?
(I notice the BG system automatically cancels orders when reaching somewhere around 3 months, and it’s getting close there).

I was wondering the same thing. Don’t know wether to cancel order or let it go. Wish they could somehow provide us with details on ETA.

BG must monitor forum. I received an email this morning asking if I want refund. States that if I do nothing refund will take place in 7 days. I guess they don’t forsee any change in availability.

Yes, received the same email today…

The thing is, there has been no stock ever of the FT03 (SFT40) yet from what I know, so the “reason” of “excessive demand” is funny…

My guess is they were referring to demand of this new LED. If the builder of the FT03 did receive the leds, they may have decided to allocate those particular leds to a different company’s product. Or the FT03 builder may have been promised a shipment of that led which was later sold to a different manufacturer.

Simon has procured enough SFT40 LEDs to keep his lights going, so it’s probably case N.2 or rather a case of “first come, first served”.

Got my refund too. Just in time for a new Hanklight :slight_smile:

DM11?

Received my refund today.
