Very Nice review D_T_A
Shame it only takes button top 21700’s, hard to find tbh, and I was hoping ASTROLUX would stay away from the Anduril 2.
Like with the Haikelite HK90, banggood are recommending flat top 21700’s in the listing which won’t work.
I can only get Molicel raised tops which won’t get me anywhere near full power anyway. What a disappointment.
I’e receiv this light yesterday
I didn’t expect anything extraordinary, but I’m still disappointed with this Astrolux EC06.
Close the flat top battery cons, the heat stepdown is ridiculously exaggerating.
I’ve two Astrolux MF01S 4000k and 5000K version i’ve expect similar heat gestion but no, the stepdown control bring us to really low levels.
I don’t have material for mesure the drop but for me we close reach level under 1000 lumens very quickly from turbo, it’s ridiculous a so low level output with the tall of this light.
I’m in my backyard moderate wind –5 degres Celcius the difference between the two is quite impressive (EC06 ans MF01S)
I dont know if it’s issu from Anduril but the result is not very convincing.
Light is overheat after 2 minute and purpose nothing other a greenish tint typical low level output for XHP 50.2 cool white
Not turbo only, moderate output quickly takes us to the low level.
The light is pretty hot it’s not low control temperature, this light simply overheat with ridiculous output.
it’s pretty disappointing
MF01S for 80$ it’s a good deal
EC06 for 60$ it’s not good deal in the current state, for me
Does anyone else feel the same way or is it just me?
I’m just using flat-top 21700 batteries while testing the EC06 (I don’t have any unprotected button-top 21700 batteries at all at this time).
I do have 2 protected (raised-top) 21700 batteries, one from a Rofis flashlight, and another from a Wuben flashlight, but protected 21700 batteries will be too long (won’t fit) for the EC06.
I think Samsung 48G won’t work though, since the 48G has a more “recessed flat-top”.
I tested with Samsung 40T, Molicell P42A, Liitokala Lii-40A (Lishen), Tesla 21700, and they all appear to work on the EC06 (I can’t determine if there will be some brightness losses due to using flat-top 21700 batteries though, but they do work).
I usually find 1 or 2 of the 3 flat top batteries make a connection when using them on a head like this but with a power drop.
Why does the switch back-light flash orange for a while after the light is turned off
I like the default Simple UI on the EC06, it has full power and double tap from off for Turbo!! Ramping right up to Turbo.
Toykeeper or Tom have come up trumps at last with A2. It really is good now.
I’d still like Advanced mode to ramp to turbo and double click to Turbo from off, and maybe sack Simple mode off for a INSTANT-MUGGLE mode where 6 taps sets off the flashlight automatically raising output from the floor and you tap once at a suitable level to lock the ceiling so you can quickly lend it out.
It's all TK's doing for this, adding more options. My tracking says "arriving late" and turns out to be true 
.
Could easily DMM probe to determine if it's FET+3 or FET+1+2. Hoping just 2 channels because 3 channels eats up valuable code space, and you would have to drop some feature like SOS to get it to fit with the new Anduril 2.
I get a bit of pressure escaping when I open the charging port cover, is this because I’m using 18650’s and the extra air volume is expanding more?
Just got mine and put fresh Molicell P42A in it. Very bright and very hot within seconds. Low settings are only slightly yellow so I did well in the tint lottery.
Ohh - looked more carefully at the driver. It looks like a FET+ 3 with it wired so each pair of LED's gets a FET+1, but driven in parallel from the MCU. I think that's what they did. Interesting way of wiring it. Clearly each FET/7135 pair is output wired independently from each other. Makes you wonder, based on % tolerances of the FET's if each pair may be brighter/dimmer than another pair. I've never seen multiple FET's wired like this - usually they just wire them in parallel, with shared output.
Dunno, maybe there's a slight advantage this way.
d_t_a - you are right, pretty sure anyway - FET+3 but uniquely wired up 
If you got a Convoy 3X21A, you should try the flat top adapter in this light, see if it fits - suspect it will. Mine fits the Haikelite HK90 well.
I check our EC06 video with this turbo runtime graph
And I’ve compare to our old MF01S with this turbo graph
on the first I presume that green line is 0
After check that I reread my previous post
This 2 light have too much power if you use turbo
But we can see at our graph MF01S have possibity to evacuat heat a middle outpout and a possibility to have just a decent outpout a high temp level use
At the first run graph EC06 it’s just a falls to near near near so close 0 output :person_facepalming:
I validate myself with my hand and eye tools this light a no capability to evacuat heat so at any power output it will fall below 1000 (1000 i’m very sweet….)
Not 1000, 300 >_<
I’m ok beam is nice, so long as the light is not hot 
No idea what happened for your testing, but my EC06 is getting over 22K lumens with P42A’s and my setup always measures slightly less than a calibrated Sphere.
Powerbank showing there’s enough power, but find it’s buggy as it lights up randomly in use. I believe this is made by Sofirn since the Sofirn and Wurkkos models behave the same
I had to calibrate the voltage readout as it was showing 4.4v at full charge and DMM showed 4.20
I’ll let you know what I get with P42A when my fresh ones arrive.
22K? wow, that's awesome! I assume that's at start. About 3670 lumens per LED. Maybe that triple channel of FET+1 design does work efficiently.
I see the EC01 was measured at 4200 lumens at start on a 40T, spec'd at 3500 lumens with one XHP50.2. Figure the EC06 has 1 cell, 1 driver circuit per pair of LED's while the EC01 has the same for 1 LED, so seems to make sense.
There isn't much to mod to improve output on this light - brass contact ring on the batt+ end, bypassed springs on the batt- end, 3 pairs of LED wires, etc. Might be room for heavier gauge, dunno. Doesn't say if the lens is treated or not, type of glass, etc.
It’s possible I use the two screenshot take on our vidéo to post in my personnal rewiew of this light?
Of curse give link to our video on my rewiew or I almost totally disagree but which remains very interesting
Yeah sure
I’ve just stuck 3 fresh MOLICEL P42A cells in and got 26,0000 lumens at turn on wtf!!!
Thank guy 
My EC06 is coming tomorrow - it arrived at my local post office, closed today. Yea, 26K is quite crazy. In my testing the Lishen's LR2170LA did as good as the original 40T's - here in US for $4 each. The new 40T's, think 40T-3, is lower performing. I can test it with various sets of 21700's using Simon's 3X21A flat top adapter - it should fit.
