Hey guys, i did preorder the Astrolux MF02 and they accidently did send me a preproduction sample and asked me to write a review.
I did write one on the TLF but want to write a short one with many pictures here too.
Actually it´s still in promotion sale for 84,95$.

Lumen
Compared to the HaikeLite SC01, the MF02 should have more than 2600 Lumens.
Runtime
I did test the MF02 for 40 minutes with 4 x 30Q.
In the first 13 minutes it did loose about 9, then it made a “stepdown” to ~71 of the max lumens and did hold them the whole time.
After this 40 minutes my charger did charge ~ 933mAh each battery.
Then i did test it with 4 x Soshine 3400 for 15 minutes and it was all the same, so there is no need for unprotected high-drain batteries.
Conclusion
In my eyes the quality is very good, especially in relation to the price.
The switch is not as good as the MF01s one, but i hope that i will be in the final version.
Direct start from Off to Low would be nice, but i don´t miss it as much as i do it on the MF01.
The battery-case is exactly the same as on the MF01 and i don´t like the reverse-protection-rings. On my MF01s ones i had a bad soldered pill and the batteries didn´t discharge equally, till i removed the rings and resoldered all pills.
The MF02 does feel good while carrying and i was able to put it into my jackets bag.
If have any questions or remarks (except for my bad english ) write them down.
