Is this the best cost per lumen flashlight ? Only 50$ wow….. any idea if you could get different led accessories with longer throw instead of flood? Love the reviews Charles
TY! I don't believe it comes with different LEDs. As for any multi-LED light look for the Luminus SFT40, SST40, SFT70, or SST70 which will give you a bit more range in most cases. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Do you think it´s possible to use 26700 batery size in this flashlight? I see it fill 21700 meaning large (tall) than other ones, so could you advise if it´s possible ? I mean 26700 non 26650 (5 milimiters higher) Danke. Greetings from Brazil.
Turbo is not designed to be run continuously, so a good quality battery of any brand will be about the same but the highest in the UI is about 3 hours due to the light automatically stepping down to about 1000 lumens which should give you the most runtimes at that level until battery is depleted. Thanks for watching!
You are wanting a dedicated thrower or LEP? 1km will be achieved using LEP. What is your price range. A lot more goes into your question. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thank you for the reply.. I'm looking for torch with more bright light (lumens4000+). LEP type is not required actually and the range is like 200-300m is enough(1km is not mandetory). I'm living in India and the price range is 150-200USD Kindly suggest me one good tourch..
Thank you for a great review of this Light, I am relatively new to modern style flashlights and your videos are a great source of information. Do you happen to have an older video on understanding what batteries and brands produce the best performance for using for modern flashlights. I notice there are so many types and brands of batteries and the costs vary making it confusing on what are the smartest ones to buy for the cost. Thank you for any suggestions you can give.🔋❔🔋
@@robinschatsbergen8528 Nitecore, JETBeam and Fenix are my top three favorites. Look into the Astrolux EC01 or EC02 for flood lights in the price range.
@@CharlesBridgTec I expected more from this model for offering high power in the description, but I was disappointed with the result. I think 4000 lumens would be the maximum for her.
@@CharlesBridgTec I have some flashlights, including some from the sofirn brand, and I watched your video because I was thinking of buying this model that you demonstrated, when I entered I was disappointed, the manufacturer promises 12600 lumens but what I saw was a flashlight that does not even deliver 4 thousand lumens . I found it very weak compared to what it promises in the specification.

I don't think it will fit. Thanks for watching!
I think they offer a 26800 or 26900 battery tube for this light.
Nice review! but will be even better with a proper audio setting hey, I need to crank up my volume almost max to hear you in the video haha
Typical TH-cam rendering. Thanks for watching!
Should it use protected or unprotected cells ?
Unprotected as shown in my review. Thanks for watching!

It has a port as shown in the video. You need a charging cable.
Hello, wich battery should I buy for this flashlight so that i can achieve maximum power?
Buy OEM cells whenever possible. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks for the quick answer, I mean 26650 21700 or 18650 wich one is the best for this flashlight?
All I can say is my favorite are the 26650 flashlights. My second would be 21700 or multi cell 18650 lights.
What’s the cri on those hp50? Can’t find much online thank you. Love your vids!

The astrolux ft02s vs the astrolux ea04 which more brighter?
Depends on the LED version you buy in them. Plus the FT03S has a combination or thrower performance versus the EA04. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTecok sir. Thank you. i mean the FT02s 11,000 lumen XHP50.2 😬
Is it a multi XHP50.2 LEDs?
Astrolux ASTROLUX EA04 or ASTROLUX EA01S which is the difference? both use XHP50.2
This model uses the HP50 LED not the Cree XHP50.2 LED. Thanks for watching!
Which one is brighter sir
@@zamzamsarah Depends on LED you choose.
Tq sir

Charles have you ever purchased cells from the 18650 battery store? Curious of there service.
18650batterystore.com, IMRbatteries.com and Liionwholesale.com are who I mainly buy from. Never an issue. Thanks for watching!

ea01s with ss40 or ea04 with xhp50?
Depends on if you want more flood or throw. Thanks for watching
What's the difference between the EA04 and the FT02S?
Body and LED used and lumen output to name a few. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec My FT02S uses 4x HP50.2 LEDs also, but has output of only 11,000 lumens.
Does this need protected or unprotected cells?
Unprotected. Thanks for watching!
Has anyone gotten a fake Ea04 from BG? Do they sell real Astroluxes or knock offs? Sorry to have to ask
AstroLux is a house brand of BG. Thanks for watching!

@@RVBrasil Well high or medium is just about 4k lumens. No need to use turbo, I rarely do.
