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.
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.
I have been keeping an eye on this item since it was announced. I have lots of lights in this size class, but the price point for this item is extremely attractive for the quality. Just one question before I decide if I should order a few to make gifts of:
General consensus, how many lumens at turn on with 40T? I know of the tint lottery, but do we now have a power lottery?
I donāt have a meter but mine is much brighter than the DM70. At least twice as bright as Quad XHP50.2 FT02S. I really understand where all this heat is coming from. If I only take it to the FT02S turbo level the runtime is much cooler. MOLICEL P42A used in all three.
Oh boy, this light is legit power. Just got it and been taking some pics, made a few measurements. I used fresh new Vapcell T42 cells at 4.20V, as good, maybe slightly better than the 40T's and measured 28090 at turn on! Ouch! Yes, flesh scorching hot in just a few seconds.
Measured again over 10 secs: 27755 at turn on, 25360 at 5 secs, 24660 at 10 secs. Lumens are with the maukka calib factor. My old calib factor got 12% higher lumens, so these #'s are conservative side, but make note this is not at 30 seconds.
Thanks, freeme, and everyone else for posting your valuable input on this nice quality, budget priced supra factory speced screamer.
I already have stock X50, extreme boosted X45 vn 25,000 lumens that I have used nightly very much for a long time, and MS06 vn, and a veritable plethora of other very nice quality pop can power flooders, but this item is way too practically free for its quality and power point to pass up. So I am requesting a code for one, for starters.
Thermally speaking itās a brick, if you see is weight 10 grams - MF01S but his batterry carrier have 20 grams more than astrolux and 10 gram less for the head.
220 grams for battery carrier when Acebeam X45 is 140 and same for Q8
330 gram for X45 head who have a ālittle betterā thermal designe and who can do 4000 lumens constant
Iām try to make a rewiew for try to explain this light has just design for one action, Turbo for much possible time without burning. anything other.
After 96H of negociation Banggood finaly purpose full refund and I keep it
I accept but for free this light remains useless.
The beam is pretty niceā¦ Iāve no wordā¦ good beam, good light (LED,configuration, reason I pre order it, just donāt think all of the weigh put in battery carrierā¦) just design for no utility exept P O W E R for5second
This light is fantastic !!! I tested it against an Imalent MS08 and it is even brighter than this when switched on with 3 Molicel P42A, I decided to buy 4 more and combine them to make a 100,000 lumens monster. Mateminco / Astrolux you are great !!!
With 3x new P42A's I couldn't get higher than 24,500. The only one who can confirm numbers is with a professional calibrated sphere, also direct driven takes in many factors as well as not all LED's perform equal.
I'm not a fan of stating lumens at turn on, useless number that you can never reach again after that millisecond pulse. High sustainable lumens is what gives me the wow factor
