Giveaway Closed-ASTROLUX "X" 21700 Flashlight -Which Astrolux product satisfied you the most? let us know what you think of it

tekwyzrd · 2018-03-03T05:54:30.000Z

I have only ordered one astrolux product, an s41. I haven’t ordered another astrolux product due to the fact I saw it offered for far less than I paid (around 33% less than the code found here) four days later. It did bake to a nice brown that looks good with the copper head.

Astrolux S1 and S2/S3 drivers are the product I ever own but should be more in the future.

I purchased both Astrolux MF01 Nichia and XPG3 which I use most often.

Bill_tong · 2018-03-03T06:01:27.000Z

I purchases a Astrolux C8 which is my favorite thrower.

Well, the new line of Astrolux got my interest - MF series work well for me. My favourite - MF01 Nichia and MF02 NW on one body - makes big fun.

I have the BLF A6 (Astrolux S1), the Astrolux S41 and the Astrolux S41S. They’re good designs, but quality control is an issue. I previously wrote a couple of mini-reviews about them, among other lights:

Would you buy it again? LED Flashlights – General Info

In compiling this list, I’ve only included those lights which are still available for purchase at the time of writing. It would be a lot longer otherwise Astrolux S41 / S41S (both with Nichia 219B) NO: these are a nice design and I really like the 5000K 90+ CRI light, but the quality control is awful. This seems to be a recurring theme for Banggood’s in-house lights. I bought two S41 lights, and one developed a faulty driver. I bought 2 S41S lights, and one had a faulty switch …

Love my Astrolux S3. Great driver! Lighted tailcap. 14500.

Astrolux S41 cool light

FPV · 2018-03-03T08:07:28.000Z

I purchased a S42 and was initially planning on reviewing it. After using it for a few days the UI got me so frustrated I gave up on the light (it has been in my cupboard ever since). Sorry to say it like it is. I still like the craftsmanship and quality, just not the overall firmware.
If it is OK I would still like to be considered for the giveaway and I trust future UIs will improve with the help of the great BLF community! Astrolux has really good relations with us on here and I value that.

edit:
Here is an idea for Astrolux and other manufacturers/brands:
If you have a dedicated website (like the one you are planning) for a brand or type of product, is there a chance to see how the product works? like a little animation with a hand or finger using the light? Or the visitor could use the mouse pointer to physically use the “digital” version of the light (switch it on/off/go through modes)? It may sound like a weird feature request but it would help the future user a lot to “see” the features.

Thanks BG for the giveaway !

I own a S1, S2, S41, S42, MF01 and a MF02. My MF01 with Nichia LEDs is my favourite one, it has a perfect lightcolour ! :+1:

ChibiM · 2018-03-03T08:10:50.000Z

I own BLF A6 the Astrolux S1!

Nicolicous · 2018-03-03T08:12:43.000Z

gotta give it a try to win

I purchased both Astrolux MF01 Nichia and XPG3 also MF01 (cold and warm tints) :smiling_imp:

i need more flashlight :disguised_face:

fireblade893 · 2018-03-03T08:48:13.000Z

I have/had the S2 till the wife stole it as she likes the lit button, S1 (shorty in blue) for EDC, S41 first Nichia torch I bought

Then worked up to the MF01 and MF02 as “big boy” torches.

You should add a headlight torch that runs on 18650 ideally with XHP50/70 in NW for a nice floody beam.

I like the S42. It’s one of the smallest quads and I do like the optics.

Henk4U2 · 2018-03-03T09:02:24.000Z

I have an S41, a copper A01 (O-L spec.ed), and a BLF A6 (Astrolux S1).
The first comes out of the drawer when my family/friends need a meet and greet with a wow-light.
The second comes out of the drawer to be looked at and to be polished (in fond memory of O-L).
The last one I just use. It gave me quite a bit of trouble out of the box but now it works like a charm.

Agro · 2018-03-03T09:07:35.000Z

I got A01 BLF edition.
And MF-02.

I suggest Maukka review.

Thanks for the GAW!

Andrew_Debbie · 2018-03-03T09:23:33.000Z

My Astrolux S1 is my favourite light. It is the best compromise between flexibility and easy of use, brightness and size. The beam pattern and colour are good too.

Looking forward to the ‘X’.

spideroz · 2018-03-03T10:53:01.000Z

I own two Astrolux light, s1 and c8, both are great lights in their categories, the c8 is my favorite compact thrower and the s1 my edc light. if i have to chose one it'll be the s1 just because i keep it in my pocket everyday.

It's a great compact and powerful light and i love the 18350 extension tube, with it the Astrolux s1 become a perfect tiny edc light.

When i received both lights i made a video for each one, not a review, but an unboxing video Astrolux S1 and Astrolux C8.

I would definitely buy other Astrolux lights, i'm just not sure wich one yet. ;)

Joss · 2018-03-03T10:09:50.000Z

I love my copper A01 Nichia + a few other colored A01’s.
Nice little light!
Would like to have other Astrolux flashlight as well.
