Just saw it, and I agree, its specs are *really good (almost too good to be true ) like 2.5Mcd/3065m range and 6800lm maximums… I just would like to know for how many nanoseconds they are maintained
And the price is good.
Would be specially interested if it came with a battery adapter for an Nx21700 or Nx18650 or whatever so we could avoid having to buy/maintain a weird battery like a 46950, and of course if it came with Anduril (or at least used an AT1616 MCU and had easily accessible flashing pads).
Real talk tho, I do miss the days when Astrolux leaned in on Anduril. They keep releasing cool lights that I just can’t buy, personally require that all my lights work the same.
Oh man I’m crying afoul on this one. This light has a 69 mm head. 2.5mcd is absolutley impossible. You need at least a 125mm head even at 6000+ lumens to get close to that (Acebeam K75, Astrolux MF04s, MF05, Lumintop GT90).
Great concept with the compact host and 46950 cell though.
I would really like to know why Astrolux and other manufacturers insist on not shipping Anduril with all their lights – as I’ve demonstrated previously, cost concerns do not apply (the AT1616 costs less than $0.05 more than a sorry-butt Sonix MCU, and is even cheaper than a PIC clone) , and neither does the “Anduril is too complicated for many users” excuse (as they could code whatever proprietary UI they would use otherwise in place of Anduril’s “Simple” mode and still have full-blown Anduril available just a 10H click sequence away).
IMO they are just leaving money on the table by failing to do so – as shown by you and I and many others refraining from buying their products because of it.
Well, it they stand by their numbers they could just send one of them to @tactical_grizzly, @zeroair, @1Lumen or any other serious, in-depth 3rd-party reviewer and then everyone would know for sure – the fact they haven’t yet could be just because they haven’t had the time, or perhaps it’s because these claims are not true… in their place I would be sending a few ASAP in order to have their claims validated.
Great concept with the compact host and 46950 cell though.
As they say, “different strokes for different folks”… I myself would very much prefer a multi-21700 or -18650 battery adapter, that 46950 battery (besides looking just like a grenade with the pin already pulled out – would not like to be anywhere near one when it catches fire or explodes) is just like unobtanium now – or at least I can only find it for sale at questionable Alibaba sellers and always in quantities of 10 or more.
For any light implementing Anduril the way I suggest (ie, with the normal manufacturer UI coded in place of Anduril’s “simple” mode), the fact that there’s Anduril in there is totally invisible for any non-enthusiast buyers that don’t know or don’t care what Anduril is, or the eventual enthusiasts that don’t want to use it.
The number of flashlight enthusiasts that love Anduril is WAYLARGER (over 5x) than the number of more “conservative” ones that would avoid it at all costs even after considering 1) and 2) above; And those 5x is presuming the Anduril light would cost “reasonably more” than it’s non-Anduril equivalent, which as shown at 1) above, is not even the case – so the gain in sales a manufacturer would have by offering Anduril is probably even larger than 5x the number of sales it would be losing for the Anduril avoiders. And more sales would bring in larger scale production and therefore lower costs, which would reinforce 1) above and lower costs even more, in a virtuous circle.
So, having Anduril everywhere would be a win for the manufacturers (by improving sales and reducing costs and improving market share and profits), and another win for the vast majority of enthusiasts that do enjoy Anduril, and a 3rd win for the non-enthusiasts as they will then (at the very least) enjoy the exact same (due to 2)) flashlights than they would otherwise (due to 1) and its interaction with 3)).
And even the Avoid-Anduril-At-All-Costs group would be winning by getting cheaper flashlights and, as per 2), the fact that these flashlights have Anduril would be almost completely invisible to them, or if they just hate Anduril so much they can’t stand it even hidden under a long and almost impossible to activate by chance click sequence, they can always reflash these exact same lights with an HEX compiled with #undef USE_ADVANCED_UI which I (or any other Anduril enthusiast) will happily produce for them.
Come on, man, relax and enjoy the Anduril revolution!
Andruil is not a revolution and despite what you think, its not for everyone. Its a cool interface. Its not the interface I would want on a if SHTF light. If the SHTF ever happened I would want a light with a mechanical switch that is dependable and does not suffer from parasitic drain (ever.) Nor does it requre the user to keep a reference manual nearby.
Its cool yes, but I would not trust it in any emergency situation, I mean ever.
This is my opinion which can and will differ from other opinion howver is equally valid.
No question, if one has only one flashlight! But I have lots of simple one to three level mechanical switch lights. For the other lights I have, I definitely prefer Andruil.
Andruil is in fact a revolution in UIs. Nothing else comes close.
Well sure, not for everyone, but I am not concerned about everyone, for me, it is my preference. Not to the extent of @dmenezes, where I refuse to buy anything else… but close.
I agree with you on this, @Zoulas: people having different opinions is great, otherwise there would be no horse races (nor stock markets) So, as our friend @thefreeman would say, “vive la différence!”
And you raised a very important point: that clicky “mechanical” switches may be more reliable than the so-called “e-switches” Anduril requires. I’ve never thought about that, so thanks for bringing that up !
But, if I may ask, why do you think it’s so? Is there any reliable data about that anywhere?
I ask because both the traditional “mechanical” switches and the Anduril-required "e-"switches are clearly both mechanical: they both have a button/actuator/spring/retainer/contact mechanism. And come to think of it, an “e-switch” doesn’t even have a retainer, ie, a mechanism to keep it in the “on” position once the button is released: as it basically serves to signal the MCU about keypresses, it can go (and goes) fully off. That would make an e-switch more reliable than a mechanical one (due to having fewer mechanical parts), not less.
And also there’s the matter of the current passing the switch contacts: on a “traditional” switch, the whole current (on the order of amps) going through the flashlight must also go through the switch; this would cause accelerated wearing in the switch contacts every time it’s actuated due to the formation of electrical micro-arcs (just like in a relay). On the other hand, the current passing through an e-switch is many orders of magnitude less: as all it does is to signal a high-impedance GPIO pin on the MCU, we’re talking about milliamps at most (perhaps even microamps) and therefore much less intense arcs and erosion. This would be a second reason for e-switches (and therefore the Anduril flashlights employing them) to be more reliable than “mechanical” switches (and the “traditional” flashlights they’re used at).
Those are the most exaggerated specs I’ve ever seen. How does A light with a 69 mm head and an SBT 90.2 LED throw over 3,000 m? It doesn’t. Not even close.
Does this EC01x truly have a Buck driver? I am extremely interested if this is the case. I really like the design, the size, and that it has a reflector. Im positive the Throw spec is a mistype, as it realistically should be very much in line with the FT03S at about 1200-1400meters, which i’m fine with. I also like it comes in ODG.
Can someone please confirm if this will have a Buck Driver? Thanks!
regarding my limited knowledge on the subject, i feel compelled to throw my 2 cents in as it may apply. I have modded and repaired well over 100 lights for myself and other fine folks in these forums. I have repalced at least a dozen broken E-switches, meaning the button on the top of the switch mcpcb had become unattached form the mcpcb, or stopped working altogether. this is a mechanical issue, and a matter of how the e-switch is built (these have all been switches with 0402 LEDS on the mcpcb aka Hank Lights and FireFlies). I have only replaced one mechanical switch due to mechanical failure, and that was because the owner had tried inserting a battery that was too long and it compressed the switch spring beyond the point of fixing.
So, at least from a mechanical POV, the e-switch is not made as robustly as the mechanical switch. I don’t know if youve seen any of the se lighted e-switches outside of a light, but the button interface (the part we are actuating everytime we 7C, etc etc) is not extremely robust. I will add though, in their defense, The e-switches i have replaced due to failure, have all been over 3-4 years old on lights that have been daily users. So, they were definitely put through their paces.
A few remarks. The price is not unreasonable if you look at the specifications. But I do think the given specifications are unreasonable. I would call it Chandela (as in Chinese Candela). If you halve the specs you still would have a decent light with a throw of almost a mile.
But what itches me is the use of a 46950 battery. I mean 46800 is the new norm made up by Tesla. No pun intended and no harm intended. But it is still not used all over the planet. And then Astrolux puts in an elongated version of it. Are those batteries still for sale 5 years from now?
