Can i ask your personal opinion.. if u can only buy 1 Flashlight, what u choose between Astrolux FT03S sbt90.2 or convoy 4x18a sbt90.2 ?? Thank you sir..
Great review! I'm very happy with my FT-03 XHP50.2 in 5700k. I got one in blue with the SS bezel. Ordered it back on Nov. 28th and it finally arrived Jan. 9th. I live in Pennsylvania and it was the holiday season, so I figured it would take awhile. It must have been one of the last few in stock because shortly after that the 5700k was no longer in stock, and as of now it still is not in stock. I used your code and got it for $38. Thanks for that! I don't see the FT03S being worth roughly 3 times the price.
I have this flashlight in blue . Was able to get it for about $90 with promotional discount. LOVE IT! and I have the Acebeam K75 ( pretty sure that’s the model #) with the same SBT90.S led in it and while the Acebeam is obviously more powerful because of the huge reflector the FT03S is still a great option as it’s “little brother” imo. Has a Very nice super sharp beam and plenty bright with lots of spill. I also have the other 2 FT03 versions with the sbt40 and xhp50 leds but rarely use those since getting the FT03S. As a matter of fact I have about 50 flashlights and still use the FTO3S the most.
SBT 90.2 LED my favorite LED oh my Lord this light is probably a great thrower because of that led with a smooth reflector I haven't watched the video but I'm making comments because I have a lot of those LEDs yes I can't wait to watch the video thanks for sharing you guys are great by the way I'm a flashaholic 🇺🇸🖐️👍👌😎💖
I like to test with roughly the most powerful batteries in each size, the 30T gives slightly more power but it's only 3000mAh and for a 21700 that's crud.
Not only being a great thrower it has a great spill to it you're getting the best of both worlds wow really impressive thank you for sharing I have to have one 🖐️👍👌😎💖
Hello there! Will you be able to make a comparison between ASTROLUX FT03S-SBT90. 2 and ASTROLUX FT03-SST40. In my opinion, ASTROLUX FT03 - XHP50.2 other purposes. I have SST40 and XHP50.2 but the scope of their application is completely different. SST40 allows you to see an object at a long distance with spot lighting. And the XHP50. 2 is only mid-range and very wide and powerful. I would like to understand whether the range and accuracy of the SST40 will be oozing with the power of THE xhp50. 2 in the SBT90.2. In the fog XHP50.2 is practically useless (Maxim 62 Rus.)
I love the music and it's more than just a flashlight it's something that was designed and engineered to be so great out in the wilderness it's just a beautiful god-given thing true beauty in this flashlight especially the lumens

Anybody having issues with their FTO3 SSBT40?? Getting this one for sure in any case. Great alternative for when I don’t want to lug out my Acebeam K75. Great FL review as always 👍 and you have some really beautiful country to use all your flashlights on. I’m jealous.
Unfortunately there is not much difference in light power between ft03 and ft03s. The price is greatly exaggerated. Please, the company reconsider the price
which of these lanterns has the largest and best reach area to be lit: Convoy m21c-u xhp70.2, convoy m21c kw, convoy L21 A sst40, astrolux Ft 03 xhp50.2, Convoy M3-C, Astrolux C8 Xhp50.2, mateminco TK04 sst40, Astrolux FT02S, Sofirn SP36PRO or Sofirn IF25A?
That SBT-90 really turns night into day, I can see what the fuss is about. Only for the high disposable income club though. I planned to get the more affordable FT-03 XHP50.2 in 5000k but I notice they are all sold out of that tint now.
Yeah sorry about that I think I ordered the last one. They should come back in stock soon though I had to wait about 2 weeks prior when they were out last time.
Excellent review thank you for that😀 The FT03S is a very dedicated thrower, almost double the distance of the FT03. But that comes with a price, it is more expensive than the FT03. And thats still a very competent flashlight too.
Great review but except for the throw distance of 450Kcd is not measured correctly. This flashlight is more in the range of 360Kcd to 380Kcd. The output of 5000 lumens is also too high. More in the range of 4600 lumens for Samsung 40T battery.
I thik the diferent from Sofirn Sp70 and Astrolux FT03S come because Sp have a cold white 6500K and astolux 5700 we know this temperature affect directly distance of beam just like in the cars if we have the mist we use this temperature 5000K in the mist lights.More Kelvins just like 6000 the light is most reflective
Here is the issue I have with the FT03S...It is 134 dollars an some change, and for less than 160 dollars I got a MF04 with 2416 meters of rated throw. The FT03 SST40-W is rated about 875 meters and is often less than 40 bucks. I just can't see this as being good to fill the gap at that price. It was an easy choice to spend an extra 25 bucks to get the MF04 instead. If it had been under 100 dollars, it would have been a hard choice, but I would likely have gotten both. It is over 3 times the price of the FT03 SST40-W, and the MF04 was only about 4 times that price. Nice thrower, but it is not the MF04, and it is almost as high priced.
Are you serious? This but a candle compared to the R90TS. The R90TS is for people who want an absolute overkill of a thrower+flood. And on lower power levels it's battery lasts forever. Totally different purpose. Though I think the best is actually the R90C.
Excellent review, as always! I did wish that you'd included the original FT03 with the SST40, but no matter as the XHP50.2 version is a higher-lumen comparison. I still don't think that this is a good host for this emitter, however; too many compromises for such a high-dollar emitter.
Wish you could have compared the night watch stalker 90.2 with this light! Great vid! Good good price for light with built in charging! I still need to grab 1 of these. I picked up a few wurkkos ts30s 90.2. Great little lights...
could someone help me. I have the astrolux ft03, I'm using a sofirn 26650 mah, 25a, discharge battery. My question is, this battery can use all the power of the flashlight?
ive ordered it from banggood for 110 notes and ive got the green 50.2 and come with there c3 battery all for 38 notes i will wait and see when the s version arrives
What would you say the best half throw half flood light is? Looking for something to light up the yard abd blind an intruder, but also not be too huge and awkward. This light seems to have the right beam pattern
Greetings to you sir, your videos are simply amazing as you know. I'm looking to purchase the Astrolux FT03S in blue, through your BG link listed in the description, but the code listed that I'm attempting to use is telling me it's invalid... Are you able to provide a working discount code? If it's not too much trouble, I'd also like your link please to the Samsung 21700 40T... Everything I've learned from your vids it's important to me that you get credit... Thanks very kindly
At 4000lm it would consume about 40Watt (assuming 100lm/Watt) A 4000mAh battery at 3.6V has a capacity of 14.4Wh. So on full power this flashlight would last about 22 minutes. (14.5/40*60) It wouldn’t be able to deliver full power continuously and throttle down so I guess the battery would last about an hour. Am I far off?
Great video as always but I've got the 50.2 FTO3 it's great and have the FTO3S on order from banggood but it cost me 109 notes where as the 4300 lumen 50.2 I got mine in green cost me 42 notes with the c3 battery and the s supposed to have a 1428 metre throw compared to the 50.2,S 735 I hope it's more powerful cause don't look much better than the 50.2
I would cancel it and wait till they fix the issues if I were you. The reflector doesnt perform as good as the old one and mine steps down in 20 seconds with a fully charged high drain cell. At 80% output I can run it for 4 minutes no problem. There seems to be some issue with the driver. Maybe an overheating component.
helo man! the Astro ft03s arrive from Bang but on box writes the sh55 led but inside the instr. manual writes sbt90; and the torches look the same i guess so i donno what they sended to me! you have a quick idea how can i know which is it? [ i doubt is a sbt 90 only] ;? help!
exactly like this [at from outside] and the led i looked on comments on Bang and that is the same too; buuut huhh i am pissed! man this not keeps not even the high-mode more than 2-3 minutes it steps down to some middle or low level [i putted on for 5 minutes and was down !; i have vapcell 6200, trilife [it camed with a xhp160 but is better than the 2 others!] of 5200 and a litokala 5100 the yellow one - but with all of this goes down ofter 2-3 minutes [no matter if i start from turbo or just the high!] - only i just testing inside now i not tested outsoide but is even useless to go out coz i can see from here that someth is not good! shyyy@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV
or maybe the ''temp. control'' should i change?; but i cannot find how to enter n the setuping huhh ; i readed now on net that can be disabled? what that means? it not counts the celsiuses?@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV
Love all your reviews. Wish I could get these high powered lights from amazon or some other company though. Banggood has screwed up 3 of my last five orders. They can't successfully ship their items. They keep coming up with some BS about customs issues.
Very good review. Up to what did you adjust the thermo temp limit? What is the default thermo temp limit when received? What I noticed it stepping stupidly quick. What Samsung 21700 T30 or T40 will be the best to use?
Dear FLASHAHOLICS, I am contacting you for advice. You wrote that you sold your FT03 SST40 because of the small light. In your video, I noticed that the FT03 50.2 shines very well. I did not see much difference with the FT03S light. Is it a video camera to blame for shooting video, or is the difference really small? Please give me some advice. Can I make dedom FT03 50.2, and be satisfied? Because FT03S upset me around the world. For the high price, I expected a wow ... This difference is justified by a 30% increase in price. But the price is increased by 250%. Tell me, does it make sense to enjoy the FT03 50.2, and forget the FT03S for the space price? I really hope that you will understand my questions. Thank you for all your video reviews.
The Spill on the FT03S is slightly brighter than the FT03 and the beam is slightly smaller but brighter. Subtle differences but the FT03S has 400m extra throw which is about 50m to the naked eye
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thank you very much！Listening to the video instructions, sounded very complicated... But, now I'm realized it's quite easier than I thought...(^^).
Yeah it'll throw very well and still have more power than the SST40, be interesting to see how many lumens it does lose though, I think the XHP70 used to be around a 20% loss
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV thank you 🙂 Then i wont use it with that much power more. It was fun the minute i tested it😀 Lighted up completely a mountain top 1200 meters from my house😅
Very good video! Also I’m in love with your camera. What camera are you using? iPhone 11? Just kidding 😂😂 phones will never be able to have this nice of a night shot. :)
It's a SONY A6300 it has a few weaknesses though, red reproduction is slightly orange and motion handling isn't great. It has one of the worlds fastest auto focuses which is very helpful for keeping up with changing brightness.
HI ,I BUY THIS FLASHLIGHT ON BANGOOD A FEW DAY AGO !!! PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH IS BEST BATTERY THAT I CAN BUY TO PUT INSIDE IT =? 18650,21700OR 26650 =?CAN YOU HELP ME =?
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV didn't stop me from ordering one with the osram w1 led, hank now has xhp35hi and sbt90.2 options on the K1, and the D4v2 MULE is impressive but gets hot even in Muggle mode it's not safe 😁
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV How come? I really don't know much about flashlights, I really just want to find a great throwy light to impress my friends and right now it is between this and the K1. Honestly I'm leaning towards the k1 because I like how the flashlight body looks, especially in the cream color, but if this light is better in your opinion then it might sway me towards this one! Thanks.
And also I would be using it in the forest and the beach so some floodiness could be cool too. Right now im looking at the k1 with the sbt-90 emitter because a different video was comparing the beams between the sbt-90 and the w1. sbt90 looked better to my eyes.
He says 18 of these leds in a mf01s would be interesting, but pricey...nope! I happen to have that light, and that thing gets crazy hot quickly with the 18 led's it already has. I am talking cooking breakfast over it kind of hot. The light just does not have enough surface area to run cool enough with the 15000 lumens it already has. Don't get me wrong, I like that light a lot, and it is an impressive flood. I wish it was better at handling that heat it generates.
@@swifty1321 I never said it did...I said it gets very hot quickly with the led's it already has, which are much less powerful and less hot than sbt90.2 lights would be. Also 18 sbt90.2 would draw too many amps for any batteries in it. The Imalent MS-18 has the less powerful XHP 70 led's, and has 18 of them to put out 100000 lumens. It needs 8 20700 4300mah batteries built-in to do that for a bit before cutting back to 25000 lumens. 18 of the 90.2 leds that have but one of in the FT03S, would not be interesting or pricey if put into the MF01S light. It would be inoperable. I said the MF01S, which I have already gets too hot too quickly with the stock led's. I also have the FT03S being reviewed. It gets hot as well, but not like the MF01S that currently is 15000 lumens. I have no idea how you read what I posted to make you think I said I had one with 18 of the 90.2 led's in it, but read it again. That is why I said in the first post the 18 led's it ALREADY has. The next sentence I again said the 15000 lumens it ALREADY has. Saying I happen to have one of these lights was referring to the MF01S...not configured like he was saying. Nobody does, or even can, have a functional version of the MF01S with 18 of the 90.2 led's, not with that size head, or the same battery sources. If you increased everything on the MF01S to do so, it would no longer look anything like the MF01S.
@@swifty1321 Footnote to previous post...the sbt90.2 draws a maximum 60 watts vs the 29 watts of the 70.2. So 18 of the 60 watt led's would draw 1080 watts or 290+ amps @3.7v. I suspect you would need at least 10 3.7v Li-ion batteries...maybe 12. The head would have to be massive to handle the heat, and the led chip itself would not even physically fit in a MF01S. My stock MF01S has 1 added feature. I screwed a handle on the tripod mount because it burns my hand to hold it long. It just gets way too hot already. Heck of a flood from a coke can sized light though.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV But the thermal sensor isn't at the led so that wouldn't be the case. No thermal compound would mean it's not dispersing into the body and the head wouldn't heat up. It would just burn up the led. On a thrower I always turn off the temp setting and go by feel. Wish you recorded the temp at step down
@@ilovelife18 the sensor will be receiving quickly built up heat that should have been transferred away from it through the large body. Temp at 1st step-down was negligible.
I live in Pennsylvania and I've ordered 11 flashlights in the past 3 months and 8 of them have arrived. 3 are still on the way, but they were ordered at the end of December and on January 8th. So it will be sometime in February until they get delivered. Orders usually take 4-6 weeks to be delivered. Unfortunately if you want the lights, you need to have patience and just wait. I even ordered 8 Samsung and 4 Panasonic 18650 batteries, and 2 Shockli 26650 batteries back in October, and they got delivered. It was 2 different orders. But the last 2 Shockli 26650 batteries that I ordered in late November have been returned to Banggood twice now, so if they get returned this time, I'll just get a refund. They gave me the option to have them resent or get a refund each time. I really can't complain about Banggood's service. Packages do take a long time to arrive, but it's not always Banggood's fault. I do live half way around the world.
I just ordered the ft03 50.2 5700k about 2 weeks ago. My first bangood order hope I don't have trouble. I ordered it with a 26650 cell but I think they are shipping separate so should be OK then huh?

Its a better thrower than Convoy L6?(Ok they say that L6 is not a real thower..)
This amount of spill with huge throw and the small size kind of makes the imalent R90TS redundant. Though the turbo is short.
Are you serious? This but a candle compared to the R90TS. The R90TS is for people who want an absolute overkill of a thrower+flood. And on lower power levels it's battery lasts forever. Totally different purpose. Though I think the best is actually the R90C.
Astrolux ft03s and acebeam L19, which 1 better, thanks
What does "IPX7 do not submerge" mean? IPX7 / 8 require complete immersion in water.
ASTROLUX recommend not to fully submerge the light.
wurkkos TS30S would be interesting if you would test
Excellent review, as always! I did wish that you'd included the original FT03 with the SST40, but no matter as the XHP50.2 version is a higher-lumen comparison. I still don't think that this is a good host for this emitter, however; too many compromises for such a high-dollar emitter.
I sold the SST40 as a light this big needs more lumens! I got the same range from the smaller Cometa!!!
Wish you could have compared the night watch stalker 90.2 with this light! Great vid! Good good price for light with built in charging!
I still need to grab 1 of these. I picked up a few wurkkos ts30s 90.2. Great little lights...
Great review as always!
could someone help me.
I have the astrolux ft03, I'm using a sofirn 26650 mah, 25a, discharge battery. My question is, this battery can use all the power of the flashlight?
You'll need a 21700 to get full power. Something like Samsung 30T/40T
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV but the 21709 is not to long for this astrolux?
So cool the space ship at 2:30!!!
3:36 and that cup is given 2gether with torch?D
No, it's a 20p pop carton!
The biggest problem with the FT03S is the FT03 which can be had for £26 in the sales vs £110 for this version. Its a no-brainer to buy the FT03.
Yeah up to 300m it was neck and neck. Over that needs the FT03S or SST40
ive ordered it from banggood for 110 notes and ive got the green 50.2 and come with there c3 battery all for 38 notes i will wait and see when the s version arrives
What would you say the best half throw half flood light is? Looking for something to light up the yard abd blind an intruder, but also not be too huge and awkward. This light seems to have the right beam pattern
This is a great light.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV it has the same emitter as the noctigon K1, do you have any thoughts between the two?

Greetings to you sir, your videos are simply amazing as you know. I'm looking to purchase the Astrolux FT03S in blue, through your BG link listed in the description, but the code listed that I'm attempting to use is telling me it's invalid... Are you able to provide a working discount code? If it's not too much trouble, I'd also like your link please to the Samsung 21700 40T... Everything I've learned from your vids it's important to me that you get credit... Thanks very kindly
thankyou vry much for compare sofirn sp70 and astrolux ft03 xhp50...

Nice. I love the Anduril option. I have 8 lights with that UI so far, but since I already have the FT03 I'll pass on this one. Great review as always!
I love Anduril too, I just with Toykeeper could fix muggle mode.
Which is better, this Astrolux FT 03S, or the Olight Warrior & Turbo(1100 Lumen, 1000m)?
Warrior is better quality but this one has the performance and bonkers UI.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV
What do you mean 'bonkers'? Sorry, I'm not that good in English.
@@mshayashi The UI has a lot of cool features
Does this flashlight work as power bank?
Mister,Coba compare sama Convoy L7 SBT90.2 😁
At 4000lm it would consume about 40Watt (assuming 100lm/Watt)
A 4000mAh battery at 3.6V has a capacity of 14.4Wh.
So on full power this flashlight would last about 22 minutes. (14.5/40*60)
It wouldn’t be able to deliver full power continuously and throttle down so I guess the battery would last about an hour.
Am I far off?
Probably 10hours, step-down is usually very aggressive on Anduril lights
Great video as always but I've got the 50.2 FTO3 it's great and have the FTO3S on order from banggood but it cost me 109 notes where as the 4300 lumen 50.2 I got mine in green cost me 42 notes with the c3 battery and the s supposed to have a 1428 metre throw compared to the 50.2,S 735 I hope it's more powerful cause don't look much better than the 50.2
I would cancel it and wait till they fix the issues if I were you. The reflector doesnt perform as good as the old one and mine steps down in 20 seconds with a fully charged high drain cell. At 80% output I can run it for 4 minutes no problem. There seems to be some issue with the driver. Maybe an overheating component.
I will take my chances it's already been shipped I will let you know how I get on with it 👍
@@MRGOOPY123 got it yet?
Can I use protected 21700 with FT03s? Or it should be unprotected batteries.

I expected a bigger difference between FT03 and FT03S
To the naked eye it's very hard to tell, I was a little disappointed, I thought with a 21700 it might do 5500 lumens and over 500000cd
Love all your reviews. Wish I could get these high powered lights from amazon or some other company though. Banggood has screwed up 3 of my last five orders. They can't successfully ship their items. They keep coming up with some BS about customs issues.
That's unlucky, I think one item didn't reach me from over 50 orders.
In India any Trade point.
Would you get this or the FT02s?
the high-mode is 2k lumens as i get?

Very good review. Up to what did you adjust the thermo temp limit? What is the default thermo temp limit when received? What I noticed it stepping stupidly quick.
What Samsung 21700 T30 or T40 will be the best to use?
Think it's about 45c or something daft. Think I went to 55c, I prefer 40T for the extra 1000mAh
FLASHAHOLIC after you adjusted the limit how long did it take to step down?
@@hardusvd It still steps down from on but not as sharply
coupon "BGFT03S" is expired. can you please give us a new one?
Currently on a flash sale, so codes don't work
Dear FLASHAHOLICS, I am contacting you for advice. You wrote that you sold your FT03 SST40 because of the small light. In your video, I noticed that the FT03 50.2 shines very well. I did not see much difference with the FT03S light. Is it a video camera to blame for shooting video, or is the difference really small? Please give me some advice. Can I make dedom FT03 50.2, and be satisfied? Because FT03S upset me around the world. For the high price, I expected a wow ... This difference is justified by a 30% increase in price. But the price is increased by 250%. Tell me, does it make sense to enjoy the FT03 50.2, and forget the FT03S for the space price? I really hope that you will understand my questions. Thank you for all your video reviews.
The Spill on the FT03S is slightly brighter than the FT03 and the beam is slightly smaller but brighter. Subtle differences but the FT03S has 400m extra throw which is about 50m to the naked eye
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV thats it, you made me decide that I should get it, the 50m and thicker beam is what I needed
It seems like this flashlight is a little complicated...we have to push the button many times.
Tap once for on, tap once for off. Hold to change brightness.

hi, for astrolux ft03 sst40, can i use samsung 40t 21700? or what is the best battery? Thank you.
Personally I'd use 40T.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Why is the 21700 battery better than a larger 26650 battery?
@@YoungByron because its can handle very high amps discharge/continuous discharge dude.. over 20-28+ even on pulse can handle 35 amps
What if I dedome the 50.2 ? Should get similar performance like the 90.2 with less throw but still good.
Yeah it'll throw very well and still have more power than the SST40, be interesting to see how many lumens it does lose though, I think the XHP70 used to be around a 20% loss
Matt smith tested a dedomed XHP50.2 in a C8 in one of his videos.
I have FT03 SST40 series dedome mod, and it is awesome! Way more brighter and throw like the FT03S series. Well, you gotta try it guys.

What is the battery life in turbo mode?
A few mins, it'll get that hot it won't allow you to use Turbo too much.
Very good video! Also I’m in love with your camera. What camera are you using? iPhone 11? Just kidding 😂😂 phones will never be able to have this nice of a night shot. :)
It's a SONY A6300 it has a few weaknesses though, red reproduction is slightly orange and motion handling isn't great. It has one of the worlds fastest auto focuses which is very helpful for keeping up with changing brightness.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV How come? I really don't know much about flashlights, I really just want to find a great throwy light to impress my friends and right now it is between this and the K1. Honestly I'm leaning towards the k1 because I like how the flashlight body looks, especially in the cream color, but if this light is better in your opinion then it might sway me towards this one! Thanks.
And also I would be using it in the forest and the beach so some floodiness could be cool too. Right now im looking at the k1 with the sbt-90 emitter because a different video was comparing the beams between the sbt-90 and the w1. sbt90 looked better to my eyes.

What's the cost. To me
astrolux ft03s is the same as mateminco mt90?
Yes. I have mateminco mt90. Great flashlight. Powerful for the size.
He says 18 of these leds in a mf01s would be interesting, but pricey...nope! I happen to have that light, and that thing gets crazy hot quickly with the 18 led's it already has. I am talking cooking breakfast over it kind of hot. The light just does not have enough surface area to run cool enough with the 15000 lumens it already has. Don't get me wrong, I like that light a lot, and it is an impressive flood. I wish it was better at handling that heat it generates.
I'm afraid you don't... The astrolux mf01s doesn't have 18 sbt90.2 led's in it lol... It has 18 sst20's in it 👍🏼
@@swifty1321 I never said it did...I said it gets very hot quickly with the led's it already has, which are much less powerful and less hot than sbt90.2 lights would be. Also 18 sbt90.2 would draw too many amps for any batteries in it. The Imalent MS-18 has the less powerful XHP 70 led's, and has 18 of them to put out 100000 lumens. It needs 8 20700 4300mah batteries built-in to do that for a bit before cutting back to 25000 lumens. 18 of the 90.2 leds that have but one of in the FT03S, would not be interesting or pricey if put into the MF01S light. It would be inoperable. I said the MF01S, which I have already gets too hot too quickly with the stock led's. I also have the FT03S being reviewed. It gets hot as well, but not like the MF01S that currently is 15000 lumens. I have no idea how you read what I posted to make you think I said I had one with 18 of the 90.2 led's in it, but read it again. That is why I said in the first post the 18 led's it ALREADY has. The next sentence I again said the 15000 lumens it ALREADY has. Saying I happen to have one of these lights was referring to the MF01S...not configured like he was saying. Nobody does, or even can, have a functional version of the MF01S with 18 of the 90.2 led's, not with that size head, or the same battery sources. If you increased everything on the MF01S to do so, it would no longer look anything like the MF01S.
@@swifty1321 Footnote to previous post...the sbt90.2 draws a maximum 60 watts vs the 29 watts of the 70.2. So 18 of the 60 watt led's would draw 1080 watts or 290+ amps @3.7v. I suspect you would need at least 10 3.7v Li-ion batteries...maybe 12. The head would have to be massive to handle the heat, and the led chip itself would not even physically fit in a MF01S. My stock MF01S has 1 added feature. I screwed a handle on the tripod mount because it burns my hand to hold it long. It just gets way too hot already. Heck of a flood from a coke can sized light though.
Thanks
ITs witchers music. i think its oxford at nights
Many of these FT03S are delivered without thermal compound. I hope that this problem will be solved in future.
Probably explains the very fast step downs
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV But the thermal sensor isn't at the led so that wouldn't be the case. No thermal compound would mean it's not dispersing into the body and the head wouldn't heat up. It would just burn up the led. On a thrower I always turn off the temp setting and go by feel. Wish you recorded the temp at step down
@@ilovelife18 the sensor will be receiving quickly built up heat that should have been transferred away from it through the large body. Temp at 1st step-down was negligible.
I don't think it worth upgrade to my FT03 SST-40.. Triple the price with just 30% added performance..

So it will be sometime in February until they get delivered. Orders usually take 4-6 weeks to be delivered. Unfortunately if you want the lights, you need to have patience and just wait. I even ordered 8 Samsung and 4 Panasonic 18650 batteries, and 2 Shockli 26650 batteries back in October, and they got delivered. It was 2 different orders. But the last 2 Shockli 26650 batteries that I ordered in late November have been returned to Banggood twice now, so if they get returned this time, I'll just get a refund.
