PACKAGING and ACCESSORIES:

The ROFIS MR70 is sold in a black/orange cardboard box. Rich information on the four sides of the box. All the main features that distinguish the MR70 are highlighted.

On the upper part instead the internal content is specified.

The package includes:

  • ROFIS MR70
  • ROFIS 26650 5500 mAh Lithium Battery
  • Charging Cable
  • Micro USB to USB Adapter
  • Holster
  • Cord
  • Replacement O-rings (2)
  • Spare USB cover cap
  • Warranty

  • Manual

Battery:

ROFIS MR70 is sold with the included battery. It is a 26650 Li-ion marked ROFIS 5500 mAh High-Drain. The lettering on the battery is in relief even if you read it hardly.

The holster:

The holster supplied with the ROFIS MR70 is in cordura with sides in elastic material and velcro closure. At the back there is a metal D-ring at the top, and a double passing in the middle, one with a button closure.

The MR70 inserted in the holster has no movements because the scabbard is well-stretched and elastic.

--------------------

The MR70 takes well in hand. It is compact with small dimensions. The lines are roundish. Good knurling, excellent materials and white lettering on a black background.

On the head of the MR70 we note the steel bezel and the OP dish (orange peel). The glass has anti-reflective treatment. At the center there is the CREE XHP70.2 CW LED. Below the steel bezel there is a green GTD silicone.

----------

On the two sides of the head, we find on one side the electronic switch and on the other side the side LED.
The electronic switch manages the entire user interface (UI) of the MR70. It is slightly sunken in its seat and is easily found in the dark. It has a metal bezel around it and in the center a small circle with the status LED underneath which acts as a residual charge indicator and locator. The click is soft as pressure exerted and little noisy.

Battery Power Detection & Low Battery Reminder Function:

Battery Power Detection:

When the battery is installed into the flashlight at the first time, the flashlight automatically detects the battery power capacity.

Green light on and off for 2 seconds indicates battery power is over 40%.

Red light on and off for 2 seconds indicates battery power is less than 40%.

Low Battery Reminder Function:

During use, when the battery power is too low, the flashlight red light will flash to remind users that the battery is to run out.

Locator function:

MR70 has the function of automatic localization. Quickly detect the position of the flashlight.

With the flashlight off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to start the locate mode. After switching the secondary LED on and off, the location will be activated. The red lamp will flash at a fixed frequency. To exclude it, press the power button again for three seconds.

--------------------

The Side LED, an XP-G2 warm white, located on the opposite side of the switch, is covered by a slightly curved round part in opaque plastic that also serves as a diffuser. This cover means that the output beam is totally flooded. Being in the opposite (convex) form of the switch it is easy, in the dark, to distinguish it. This side LED even if of reduced power is very useful, also seen the warmer hue and the type of beam, in case of reading or to illuminate small environments (camping tent etc.).

Changing side we find the micro-USB port protected by a rubber cover. This cover adheres perfectly to the door, to protect against dust and water, so as to guarantee the degree of protection IPX8.

The charging cable supplied with the MR70 is 50 cm long and reports the word ROFIS on one side.

Once connected to the two USB ports, the red light on the switch warns us that we are charging. To recharge the supplied 26650 battery, it takes about four and half hours. Once charging is complete, the light will turn green.

Discharging Fungtion:

Through the micro-USB port we also have the ability to charge other electronic devices such as mobile phones, fitness tracker watches etc. Also in this case the connection cable is included in the package.

It can be used as a power bank whith discharging current up to 2.2A, so it can quick charge and discharge.

While discharging, green power indicator will indicate remained battery capacity:

1) The green indicator light flashes 4 times continuously, indicating remained battery capacity is more than 80%.

2) The green indicator light flashes 3 times continuously, indicating remained battery capacity is 50%-79%.

3) The green indicator light flashes twice, indicating that the battery power is 20%-49%.

4) The green light flashes once, means remained battery capacity is less than 20%.

5) When the battery power is less than 5%, stop charging the external device.

--------------------

The ROFIS MR70 is built in a unique block (really beautiful), the only part that can be unscrewed is the tailcap. In the tailcap we have a double plated spring on the negative side.
The larger spring is less rigid than the smaller one. We also note the diamond-shaped knurling of the cap.

At the positive pole there is a raised button always plated. Touching with your finger you feel that this button has under a rather rigid spring. The MR70 has protection against reverse polarity and in addition to having an electronic lock it is possible to block the power by unscrewing the cap a quarter turn.

The threads arrive well greased and are well made. Being anodized, as mentioned previously, they allow the physical lockout of the torch. It is noted, before the threads, the O-ring with water and dust seal.

The ROFIS MR70 having a flat tail can be positioned standing (by candle).

--------------------

In the lower part of the tailcap there is a hole for inserting the lanyard.

USER INTERFACE (UI):

The ROFIS MR70 has two LEDs, the main LED "XHP70.2 cool white" and the side LED "XP-G2 warm white" operated by a single switch.

The main LED has 4 normal + 2 special levels and the side LED has 3 normal levels. You can not use both LEDs at the same time.

ON / OFF:

Main lamp: click the switch button to turn the torch on or off.

Side lamp: when off state, press the switch button for 1 second to turn on the side lamp, click to turn off.

(Note: the main lamp and the side lights are memorized, only these brightness can be memorized: low mode, medium mode and high mode).

Change of brightness:

When the main or side lights is on, press and hold the switch for more than 1 second and hold it for a long time. The flashlight goes into the low, medium and high circurarly. After letting out, it will enter into the currently selected brightness level.

Turbo mode:

In the on or off status, double-click the button quickly, the flashlight enters into the Turbo mode.

Lock and unlock:

In the shutdown state, long press the switch button for more than 4 seconds, after the side lamp blinks twice, we will be in the lock state. Click the button in the locked state and the red light indicates that the flashlight is locked.

Press the switch button for 3 seconds, the lamp enters the low level and the torch unlocks.

Special ways (Strobo and SOS):

In the on / off status, triple-click the button and the torch enters the Strobe mode. Press and hold to enter the SOS mode. Continuing to hold down, you will return to the Strobo. Click to turn off.

----------

BEAM, RUNTIME and BEAMSHOT:

The main beam of the ROFIS MR70 is devoid of artifacts and the color is a nice cool white. Not particularly floody, it covers a reasonable distance for the type of LED mounted. The distance from the feet of the spill is about 60 cm.

Alluvial instead the ray of the Side LED with warmer color.

----------

The runtime was done in a closed environment without forced ventilation. The internal temperature was around 20 ° C.
The used battery, the 26650 supplied with the torch, has been completely charged (4.21V). The first test was made with the main LED in "TURBO". At the end of the test the battery was 2.68V.

Another test was done in "HIGH" always using the main LED. The test was done for 30 minutes under the same conditions as the previous test. In the second chart together with the first few minutes in TURBO.

In the same environmental conditions the last test was made using the Side LED in "HIGH" mode. The test was done for 10 hours even if the LED continued to be on for other hours.

CONCLUSIONS:

Many positive aspects of the ROFIS MR70.
It holds well in hand (and does not heat up so much), has rounded shapes that give it a clean and pleasant line. Solid construction with a good runtime. Complete accessories and excellent light in the field.
If we want to put the hair in the egg, there is no hole for the tripod that could be useful in certain situations.
However, considering the price is not excessive, I promote it with full marks.

Great

Amazon has them right now.

My MR70 arrived today. What a great light. I just ordered a second one. Very unique design with tons of utility.

I like it … :slight_smile:

Nice reviews. One ordered!

Hi JasonWW,

I’m interested in this light. I was wondering if the emitter pcb can be easily swapped?

I might want to mod mine with a NW Xhp70.2 emitter.

Thanks

Don’t look to me, I don’t know anything about this light.

In theory, they are probably using a common 20mm DTP copper star. We need to get confirmation on that. Maybe someone has looked?

If so, then it should be pretty easy to swap it. Just undo the bezel and take out the reflector. Unsolder the 2 wires and undo any anti rotation screws. It will pop out.

I dont know any places near Africa that sells emitters mounted to stars so you’ll probably need to order a new one from China. Maybe Kaidomain. We also need to figure out if it is 6 Volt or 12 volt.

This is just basic emitter swapping stuff and is not specific to this light.

Getting the emitter and star is not an issue, MTN ships to SA, tried and trusted. I’m planning on buying a few items in the not too distant future, so now I’m bargaining on someone who owns one to open it and tests it.

Do you perhaps know of someone in the forums who owns one?

Hi weklund,

I see you already own a MR70! Are you perhaps willing to open the bezel of your light and perhaps test the voltage across the emitter and maybe post a picture of the star? :question:

Best light made to date?
