Thanks.

How about the ASTROLUX FT03? A few people reviewed it.

I forget the model of the Mateminco version.

Astrolux FT03 SST40 is called “Astrolux SST40” above. I think that adding “FT03” would be worthwhile.
Same with XHP50.2.

Also, a couple of missing FT03 SST40 reviews:

Don’t forget the Yezl Y3 (1, 2 or 3 × 26650) that so many of us had fun modding a couple of years back. In it’s 3 cell configuration, stock driver and an MTG-2 emitter, it remains my favorite general purpose outdoor light.
