Review: Astrolux S1 3D Flashlight

Thanks, great review with a convincing comparison to the BLF-A6 !

Great review! I am glad you are so thorough on your reviews, they look great and raise the bar.

I think the Astrolux brand is going to be around for a while, so far they are doing things right!

Excellent review, and thanks for the comparison with BLF A6

Weird, are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is the lower right of the hotspot loaded up/extra bright compared to the rest? That’s really odd.

Great review. Thank you.

I do see in the pic, that the negative solder joint on LED board is NOT very neat. Probably adequate, but I would have to touch that up.

Is it ok if i’m using lower amp 18650 e.g. samsung icr18650 on turbo? Since it was direct drive on turbo, is it safe for that non- protected battery?

ToyKeepers firmware has low voltage protection, so it is safe to use non protected batteries

- Low-voltage protection will progressively step down the output at

about 2.8V, and the light will shut itself off when it gets below 2.7V.

As you say it’s not perfect but could be improved. I’ll not touch it up as it performs well.

Nice review. Thanks.

Looking closer I do so what you are describing, That’s probably due to the angle at which I took the photos.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I was very pleased with the flashlight. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the review quality pleas elet me know. I feel that I had too many photos in this one and not enough explanation. The review is very positive for reasons I honestly really liked the flashlight. I’d say the same for the BLF A6. My BLF A6 has a couple of very minor quality issues, one being the uneven walls of the 18650 tube and the other was the color of the anodisation for the tailcap which was slighty blueish. Otherwise an excellent flashlight. The S1 tested is an A6 without th equality issues and with a couple of minor additions or improvements.

“More Information: first … first ….”

That’s for values of “first” as an integer between 1 and 3, unless they’re claiming all they changed was the paint, right?

There is a coupon code of 8a955d which provides an extra 15% OFF

that’s in no way a complaint about the review — just took a poke at the manufacturer’s official description quoted from.
The original BLF-label light is the first with those features.
This one is — we can hope — an accurate copy with a different name painted on.

Thanks for the review. I was considering getting it for a friend but it seems to be sold out.

It seems all the hard work BLF specials require for the team members who make them possible and the flashoholic community that backs the sale of the first orders like a BLF kickstarter program is very much welcomed by the manufacterer for a follow up with a flashlight developed by real experts at the cost of no R&D and tested by flashlight junkies.

Just checked. Seems to be available now

Checking Banggood the Astrolux S1 flashlight is not in stock but can still be ordered.

The coupon code of 8a955d reduces the price by 15% which drops it down to $25.46

The coupon also works for the BLF A6 CREE XPL 1600LM 7/4modes EDC LED Flashlight 18650 which drops the price down to $25.46

Received my S1 yesterday from Banggood, and it was missing the 18350 tube - just a block of foam in the cutout area where it should have been. Not really concerned with it, since I mostly ordered it for the actual light and don’t have any 18350s to use with it anyway (yet), but it was a bit disappointing. Guessing it is something they add to the box before shipping the light and someone just forgot to drop it in there.

Reported it to their Customer Service with a few pictures, so just waiting to find out the root cause.

Edited to include the response…

Received an email within 24 hours offering to send me an 18350 tube. All good.

Thanks! I was able to order it now.
