New Astrolux (E01) XP-L 18350 light

Banggood has this new Astrolux E01 XP-L 18350 light in 3 tints with BLF A6 driver on pre-order -> http://www.banggood.com/Astrolux-E01-CREE-XP-L-A6-Driver-900lumens-8modes-Mini-LED-Flashlight-18350-p-1042811.html

Nice, very compact light with side switch and cool design imo!

We need a BLF Groupbuy on this!!! :crown:

The E02 , 18650 battery seems good option for me……or perhaps both…. :smiley:

If I had to choose - E01 is for me. But yes - let’s have BOTH! :slight_smile:

Looks nice. At around 25$ I would buy one…

interested in shorter one

Why not xpl hi? And medium mode is kind of high at 250 lumens?

Nice light!

Yeah, an xpl hi and a Smooth reflector would improve these two lights…

But when I get then, I intend to make those changes anyway, even if banggood don’t.

So with the same driver and emitter as the BLF A6, this is basically the same light, but with a side-switch? The individual specs of the lights differ a bit on Banggood, but for all intents and purposes, this would be an A6, right?

Yeah they seem to be side switch versions of the astrolux s1 (blf a6)…

Hopefully >1cm shorter.

Question is, why would they market is as 500 lumens lower output?

I think 1000 lumens are more reallistic data for this EDC lights….1600 lumens is Nice…awesome…and bla bla…but not useful, perhaps Astrolux is making flashlights for use in the diary work y not for say: wow how hot is this!!

I feel like Astrolux is the hot brand for 2016 so far. A side switch only light is a rarity in my collection. If there’s a group buy for the E01 and E02, I’m in for one of each.

It looks good. Side switches tend to turn on accidentally in my pocket.
I am interested in seeing a review.
I would buy the battery tube alone if it legoes

I feel the next logical step is to make a headlamp version, I’ll be all over that. Maybe someone is up for organizing a BLF headlamp with Bistro UI.

Awesome. I don’t really need one, but if it’s $25 after coupon I won’t be able to resist buying one :smiley:

I hope they also do red and blue versions like they did for the S1.

I am in for a light IF a separate tube is available

it will be :wink:

Interesting. Keen to know about how the switch works or rather how resilient it is to accidental activation. What about a clip? Couldn’t see one in the pics.

Goodlooking! If the BLF-A6 driver indeed is used, the side switch must be a clicky, of good quality (because it carries all current). Looks like a fine host for a triple too :slight_smile:

I like the developement: Astrolux making new flashlight designs in a good price class, with that nice and familiar driver.

no pocket clip?
