Banggood is offering the Astrolux FT03 SST40 for $29.00 and the Astrolux FT03 XHP50.2 for $33.99 plus shipping from their China warehouse until July 19. These prices are similar to the best discount codes that have been available. I have the SST40 and use it almost daily.
SST40 notes: This deal has expired
This light draws 8-9A, so a high-capacity 26650 or 21700 is recommended. A high-output 18650 will work as well, but with reduced runtime.
Whereas the original pre-order offered a 5000K Neutral option, the light now offers either 6500K Cool or 5700K Neutral.
XHP50.2 notes: This deal has expired
This light can likely draw more than 12A, so a high-output 21700 may be preferable. Thermal step-down will occur rapidly due to low mass of light, so a high-output 26650 may provide less max lumens, but longer turbo runs and extended total runtime.
Choice is either 5700K Neutral or 6000-6500K Cool.
