Astrolux M02

CREE XP-G2/XP-G3/nichia 219B 100LM USB Mini LED Flashlight

available LEDs: nichia 219B/CREE XP-G2/XP-G3
body is made of heat threatened stainless steel - every piece may look different!

i was told Quality is much better than the last manufacturer did for banggood

no more flickering ;)



Darn, and I am expecting an Astrolux M01 pretty soon now.

my M01 Ssample is very okay - but that one manufacturer had big differences/problems in "QC"

I may well just disassemble mine and stick it somewhere very hot (my mate is a blacksmith so there’s my potential first port of call)……

it will also be a slippery without incisions

like the looks Martin!
Good to see BG being satisfied with the new Astrolux manufacturer!

I really like the color! Is the battery safe?

Is there a low voltage protection ?

Good question.
I think that not, because I do not know any 10180 in the market with low voltage protection.
(but if you see the runtime curves of some of them, is not a problem detect when is neccesary change the battery)

Wow it’s so pretty. Yes, be good to know if it has LVP.

I was disappointed with the build quality of the M01. I’m willing to give it one more try with this M02.

Any words on differences in lumens, tints and CRI between the 3 emitter options? Love the neutral Nichia 219, but if the G3 is neutral white and high CRI I´d probably like to try that….

Ordered 2 pcs. (Nichia)

I pull the trigger on that one. Do you know where I can get a quality bead chain? I wish they offered the same from others similar 10180 lights (example ).

good idea!

let me try...

It might look nice on a leather cord rather than a chain? Sort of futuristic yet retro?

I’d be interested in this same info! The product page says “100 lumens” but doesn’t specify which emitter that’s from. One of the comments says it’s 6000-8000K, but again, doesn’t specify the emitter.

And now, this tiny flashlight is coming in copper: Astrolux M03

beatiful...

What are the run times on a light like this?
