@Lexel

I got today a new thrower from Niwalker the Vostro BK-FA30S

when I read the UI I was a bit concerned it may not be intuitive, but with the 2 additional buttons you can store each any more you want and operate them individually with on/off the use is very intuitive and definitely beats a single switch light

the reflector is machined better than the MF01 and got only one tiny spot where its not flawless

How does the Niwalker Vostro compare to the MF-02 in throw? I have the BK-FA09S

Here is info on the newest Niwalker light.

Another big thrower is hitting the market http://www.niwalkerlight.com/lighting_17.html Won’t be budget priced but it doesn’t stop me liking the look of it… Anyone know any more about it?

[Review] Niwalker Vostro BK-FA30S XHP35 HI 4x18650 thrower flashlight

The light was supplied by Niwalker, no compensation other than the light itself was received for this review The website is still in progress so there are some errors and missing parts [image] The light might be also available in NW and other LEDs in the future The light was supplied by Niwalker for a review, I am honest and will judge the light as it is with its pros and cons Specification: Product name: Niwalker Black Light Series Vostro BK-FA30S Brand: Niwalker Model: BK-FA30S Emitte…

SO there seems to be a few NW available in BG. I was keen on getting one now as I didn’t buy one in the GB because I was silly

Banggood now have NW in special. But are the selling off the defective ones?

Has anyone been able to get a refund for the defective versions?

Should we wait for a fixed version or will they just stop production?

Does anyone have a CW vs NW beam shot?

My MF 02 has the thermal grease under the brass driver retaining ring. It works fine with it, should I remove it anyways ?

Thanks

Will there be less current flow with the thermal paste left on ?

current will be same, but the voltage drop over those 3 loose screws will be higher

Thank you lexel

[sherman2k]

Is this GB still going on? Please put me down for 1 if the GB still on. Thank you.

Got my NW the other day. Works as it should, so far so good.
My cw the bezel was glued, on my nw it is not. Glad they made that change, or somebody forgot, whatever the case may be.

I do think one of them will end up with a 50.2 or maybe 70.2 eventually.

I hope you thought on my MF02 BLF driver will provide a lot more amps than the stock driver

Lexel, what is the performance figures with your driver using a E23C 35 , i see the std driver lifted from 450 to 535 Kcd with the E2 3C

[Lexel]

The LED is already driven pretty hard, I would not go higher with current, the BLF GT uses as well only 2.5A

The main advantage is the great UI

I noticed that an Aliexpress store is offering just the head of the Mateminco MT35 for sale. Full unit is $107. Just the head is $75. Interesting.

Mine came in today, it had thermal paste under driver retaining ring, wiped it off and threw a fresh set of 30Q’s in carrier and it works just fine. Throw is quite impressive! My second throwiest lamp is Astrolux C8. The MF02 destroys it! I also tightened all screws just to be sure… BTW, this carrier works with flattop 30Q’s also. I have a set of buttontops coming on a slow boat just in case.

I don't think it is a fair competition. LOL!

[Goodfellafin]

I know! I have a stock Convoy L6 also, it beats MF02 in lumens and overall light, but of course, not in throw… I noticed that light flickers just a little bit on the lowest mode but not on any other mode, should i be worried?

[Wieselflinkpro]

My NW flashlight arrived today too. Had not opened it jet.

Edit: driver is fixed with Torx-screws. I have 2 removed and one damaged. could not get it out. :person_facepalming:
But now I see no heatpaste only loctite on the screws.

I have the Mateminco version from Alie. Cannot imagine the MF02 outperforming this version. I will do some tests tonight or tomorrow.

My NW version arrived too. I had several problems with our customs department and new Electronic system in our country, but after four days of phone calls and two hours on customs department I got it. Banggood very possitively surrprised me, because they put on the box price only 28,39 USD
But, did somebody measured how much less the voltage is, when the thermal paste is or isn’t between driver and batteries? According to my opinion, the contact is also made by a screws and when they are tight well, there should not be any loss of voltage . Or not? Because I tried to unscrew the screws with my cheap screwdriver, but I destroyed it, screws are tight very well. But small amout of thermal paste is visible on driver onder the ring so, there is any probably. But, if it’s working hands in pocket, or not? The throw is impressive after all.
