CHEERS TOM! Thanks for the recommendation! That's a third of the price of the 26650 5500mAH 30A Shockli cells I would have used AND here in CA!

Now, can anyone give me any insight as to where to source a 26800 battery tube for the MT70MINI? Can I use the extension tube designed for the MT04 that Nealsgadgets.com carries?

THANKS!

185

Nope, see above - you might have missed it. Keep in mind Astrolux (most) are made by Mateminco, so many flashlight models are the same, just different model #'s/names. I got lights under both brands and everything is identical, swappable, etc. Unless the SFN55.2 version has some basic differences in the hosts, that's why I can't guarantee FT03 parts will work.

186

Banggood also has it but the link was not working so I deleted it. 26800 Batterieröhre für Astrolux FT03 FT03S LED-Taschenlampe, DIY-erweitertes Gehäuserohr Sale - Banggood Deutschland-arrival notice-arrival notice? It has some coupons posted here. Second again on the SFN55.2 LED in two head sizes; FT03 and EA01.

Thanks Tom!

Unfortunately the SIX WEEK delay in shipping is an absolute deal breaker for me with AliExpress for an $8 tube...

Nealsgadgets.com carries these Mateminco brand 26800 tubes (in 3 colors: the blue I want!) for the same price and 34.5mm OD. I do a lot of business with them and their shipping from China is quite expedient and reliable. They are listed as being for the Mateminco MT04 but I'm really hoping for some flashlight LEGO magic to be possible.

Here's the link:

Any thoughts?

188

Very doubtful they will fit, and texas shooter says flat out they won't fit.

I emailed Neal before if he can get them - I'm interested too, but may take a day or more to hear back from him.

Agree, Neal has been great with me, shipping is pretty good too. Ali has been a disaster lately over the same period Neal's shipping has been good.

189

I have an MT01 w/26800 extension and FT03 w/26800 extension and they are not compatible - different threading, different lengths.

190

All Right,

I see the Astrolux FT03 tubes on Banggood and the blue is in stock, estimated delivery by end of this month. The link:

The handle knurling pattern on these tubes is identical between the FT03s and MT70 mini. It seems the proper way.

The MT04 tubes at Neal's have a radically different pattern of handle knurling yet appear thread compatible. Tom, are you certain these WONT WORK, other than the aesthetics?

I think I'll take a chance on the BG FT03s tube...

Thanks again!

191

Many Thanks Tom for making it crystal clear, and for dispatching an email to Neal.

Best Regards my friend

192

I can't be certain of anything, including if I put on matching sox this morning...

These models are insane - I don't have an MT04 but it appears the MT01 is the same size and style, so I'd bet on it, plus texas shooter is pretty good with this stuff as well - I'd trust him more than myself...

193

I have both, they are not compatible. Neither the head or tail cap on either.

194

The FT03 26800 Battery Tube fits the Mateminco MT70 MINI. It also fits the copper & brass versions of the FT03.

Has anybody found another source for the 26800s,preferably in Europe? Shipping cost is prohibitive.

196

lOrdered from Neal 11/04, received yesterday (11/18); good compared to my AliExpress orders recently, and the tracking info was detailed and accurate.
Thanks again Freeme.

197

Thanks FlashPilot and freeme! Ordered the MT70 mini in green from Neal, and the 26800 tube in green from BG.

198

Have received my MT70 Mini today, enjoyed the nice donuthole free beam, but when testing turbo i think:
Well, where is it? This is never ever Turbo.

Made an factory reset, cleaned the Tube and Contacts and no change.

Ok, compare turbo with an ceiling bounce to another light:

FT03 XHP50.2 5700K 540lux
MT70 SFN55.2 370lux

Used the same QB6800 Battery in both lights, that ist really, really disappointing… :cry:

Any idea what ist wrong with the MT70?

199

Is the battery mostly charged? If so then ramp the light to high. At high double tap to compare turbo increase. The lower the cells charge the less turbo stands out.

200

Ok, ramping high and than double click i got 640lux in the ceiling bounce. :+1:

Power of, double click -> 370lux

Weird behavior…

201

FT03 is NasilM where ramps to turbo. Anduril doesn't by default ramp to turbo. So it says NarsilM in the OP, but maybe it's not?

202

Ah, the fog is clearing… :sunglasses:

First post states NarsilM, same as the FT03. Never thougt it could be wrong.

I have pulled the Matemico manual out of the box (which is for an MT90 mini with SBT90.2) and it is for Anduril.

double click + double click go to turbo…

Ok, going to RTFM for changing this…*g

203

I think their all Anduril. Got a question, how are you liking the 26800 cell and where did you find yours?
