FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX® MF01X 18*SFQ43 LEDs 21000lm 3*21700 USB-C Flashlight Group Buy - ALIVE frm $105

Here you have a lot of photos and a video of the MT18X / MF01X:

By the way, the price is 498 yuan, which is equivalent to 68 euros or 78 dollars.

But isn’t the indicative GB price of this MF01X is in three digits, which means US$100+?

I’m a bit sad… it seems to be “members only”… (or it’s just the link)… :cry:

Yes, frastad, in order to buy or sell on Tao Bao, we need to register and become members of the platform. A little cumbersome for foreigners outside of China.

Yes it’t a little tricky without “English” (at least for me). :person_facepalming:

Well then at least the product seems to be ready for selling there or there seems to be more information coming…

Let’s hope this nice little light will be available (for all) soon.

Thank you TermsakC! :+1:

I’m sorry, I don’t have a taobao account and I could see it.

If you want, later I upload the photos and the video here.

Yes, looking at the price on taobao, I think the price of the MF01X is inflated.

Seems the aux LEDs aren’t RGB but MF01S-style trippy.

This is the price for users who send their old MT18S back to the dealer. The overall price of the new model is higher than the MT18S

Before you buy

New event (event time: 2022.1.12——2022.1.20)

Option 1: 20% discount on new products, if there is a direct deduction for coupons

Option 2: Trade-in (old machine MT18 MT18S can be deducted 300 yuan) if there is a direct discount with coupons

For trade-in shipments, you need to send the old machine back first, and write a small note at the same time, the content of the note: write the ID number of the 18X purchased this time, and the company will send it out within 3 days after receiving the old machine 18 18S for verification. 18X

The above two event plans can only be selected from two, and cannot be used with the same flashlight at the same time, please know!”

The original price is 638 Yuan or 100 USD

Thanks for the information and clarification of my error.

Now wait a minute. That’s unicorn barf, not RGB.

The AUX lights can be dimmed ,just like in the MF01s through the same process . At least that is stated in the ad in TaoBao.

Further confirmation they’re not RGB. And I’m not exactly against the combination, it does look trippy and kinda cool, but for regular use I vastly prefer single, solid colour. Usually magenta for its objective, measurable fabulousness.

I love the aux lights of the old version.
And I love the idea that they use “old” technology to keep the price low…

So I’m pretty happy with what I see. :+1:

Thank you all for posting this!

I’m in love with this photoshop job.

The cutting of man is also exceptional
The light in hand, the hand! O__O
I don’t find anything good on this pics
so funny :heart_eyes:

sad they have kept this design :cry:

My take aways from that:

  • still no indication of CCT, tint, CRI, so probably not designed to excel in that area
  • MF01s-style aux LEDs, not RGB, love them or hate them (also not sure if these would be controllable from Andúril not even in terms of high-low-flashing-off)
  • battery holder needs a locating pin so the cells are probably not all in parallel, however the ‘leaked’ charts indicate that the SFQ43 should come in a 3V config so maybe a buck driver?
  • if the cells aren’t all parallelled, the internal USB charger wouldn’t likely include provisions for balancing of the cells which I’d like to see
