Just an information I got from manufacturer: The SST20 quad version is supposedly no longer being made and wont be restocked
The EA01 SST40 turning bluish on high brightness occurs, while the flashlight is cooled (haven’t used it for a whole day), then insert battery and just testing it..
I’d like to confirm if this issue is only on my sample (which means, I’ll need to report to Banggood about a flashlight with issue), or it occurs for many samples of this EA01.
(I also got the EA01 XHP50.2, which doesn’t have this issue).
~~~~~~
One other issue I encountered with the EA01 (in case someone else can confirm), since I got 1pc blue body color and 1pc gray body color.
The EA01 blue body color’s body tube will fit Shockli/Vapcell 5500mAh 26650 (just a very snug fit), but the EA01 grey body color’s body tube has a bit of trouble fitting the Shockli/Vapcell 5500mAh 26650 battery — I have to insert the Vapcell/Shockli 26650 from the head portion of the body tube, and even then, it sort of tears into the battery wrap due to the very tight fit. It doesn’t fit when I insert the 26650 from the tail portion (it probably will fit, but may tear the battery wrapper which I didn’t force into).
A just slightly slimmer 26650 battery (eg. iJoy 4200mAh 26650) will slide in nicely though, both the EA01 grey and EA01 blue.
The EA01 SST40 turning bluish on high brightness occurs, while the flashlight is cooled (haven’t used it for a whole day), then insert battery and just testing it..
It means the emitter is overheating and there’s something wrong with the thermal transfer between the emitter and the body. You can try and fiddle with that on your own but I’d just use the warranty.
I ordered both the xhp 50 and sst40 versions. In my sst40 I noticed a tint shift also at the highest setting. The tint shift is less when using Keeppower 26650 5200mah vs Samsung 40T.
I got the XHP50.2 version and in testing with freshly charged batteries I am getting way more than 3500 lumens. I am estimating 5500 at turn on. I am hoping others will do some more accurate testing and let us know what they get.
Interested in xhp50.2 version
the code BGEA01 doesnt work anymore
Banggood tells me its expired.

That’s pretty cool. Don’t think a 26350 would cope too well with 4xXHP50.3 on turbo though
My Astrolux EA01 (SST40) turns bluish on High brightness levels.
I'm not using a particularly high-drain battery, just a nearly-full charged 26650.
(I measured the tailcap current using a Shockli 5500mAh 26650 battery with my UT210E meter -- around 8.2 Amps on max brightness)
Anyone has this issue?

looks like the EA01's 26350 tube will "lego with" the FT02S body tube..
anyone knows if it will also fit in FT03?

My reviews:
ROFIS R3 Multipurpose light , ROFIS MR50
EA01 tube has narrower thread pitch and thickness compared to FT03.
@1theDeals
Probably it is due to heat issue?
@1theDeals
Dont know, wouldnt the 4x XHP50.2 be much hotter?

If the LED is turning blue. Raise with Banggood, no point waiting. It is clearly defective in one way or another. Did you pay via paypal too?

Freeme- I have same question about 21700 warning? Is it the battery length? or the assumed higher amperage? Or something else?
Sorry for not being able to report here regularly for the past one week, as my body is not coping well with the cold season.
BG in-charge did not mention about "EA04". Maybe I will try to get some news from them tomorrow.
@1theDeals
maybe the cell 21700 destroyed the sst20 leds
Thanks
Mines just turned up. Will try it outside in a bit.

Can anyone with both emitters show some beam shot comparisons please.

Beamshot comparison of the Astrolux EA01 (XHP50.2 5700k) vs the Astrolux EA01 (SST40 5000k):
(Left side is EA01 XHP50.2
right side is EA01 SST40)
As noted, there seems to be a problem with my EA01 SST40, as it shows a bluish-purplish tint shift when on high/turbo levels.
Code please! Thanks Freeme!

Unfortunately only available in blue, wondering when the rest XPH 50.2 5700K will be back in stock. Will order one for sure.
I got the XHP50.2 version and in testing with freshly charged batteries I am getting way more than 3500 lumens. I am estimating 5500 at turn on. I am hoping others will do some more accurate testing and let us know what they get.
Bonum commune communitatis.
