Thanks for watching, Take care! - บันเทิง
Yes, great review again! I love your consistency per review. I can take screen shots on all your "targets" and easily compare beams, intensity, spill, throw etc. Great job!! Thanks.
The only variable that changes is the air quality and the lights in the background on or off. If you could tighten up those variables would even be more consistent. But I know that's not as easy as said lol. Again thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I have the same light, it's one of my favorites, I'm amazed at how heavy it is and solid, great heat dissipation.
Thanks for watching!
THAT HANDLE IS AN AWESOME IDEA...eyeballing an MF01S in silver, already have the mini version on the way from banggood. Have had good luck with those efest batteries also.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful flashlight, I will get one soon and nice review as always.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all your reviews
YW Thanks for watching!
What an amazing light! Great review man 👌
Thanks for watching!
I am using it now and its very bright and of course the heat..15000k.. magnificent light..tq sir for your review
Thanks for watching!
Great light! What a wall of light and throws!!!!!🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for watching!
Own 3 of them ❤ went and bought 2 more mini's.... astrolux been doing a great job so far.
Thanks for watching!
I'm waiting for the new mini to get here, tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow. 😁
Nice. How's the quality been so far with them? Any issues?
@@SimplifiedTruth no issues with any of my astrolux flashlights. I have the MF01S and the FT03 and I love them both. Very reliable lights and for the money you can't beat them.
Very good and poweful flashlight and cheap! Super!
Thanks for watching!
about the battery check you performed, after the 4 stobes, i believe it came an half-strobe, which means 0. so 4.0V, not 4.1V. when it's not zero, the strobe stands a little bit longer.
Interesting info. Thanks for watching!
Yea I kept noticing mine was staying at 4.1 forever......until I learned the quick blip = 0
when it goes down to 3.X Volt, the strobe has the same intensity either on the first group (3.) or on the second group (.X) of strobes. so, that quick strobe must represents 0 (zero). which makes all the sense.
This or the Fenix LR40R for flood?
Well they differ in price by a lot. The MF01S is a flood light. The LD40R has both flood and throw in one light. It really depends on the person and the beam type they want including how much they want to pay. Thanks for watching!
thanks for review this mf01s.. but i need flashlight same with the astrolux mf01.. or the earlier moder.. Light more wide.. .. thanks.. nice review bro like before... 😁👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
How long does the Samsun 30Q 3000mAh battery last in standby mode with the auxiliary LEDs at full brightness ??? Mine just 10 day! My mf01s consume 20mAh in standby even with the auxiliary LEDs off!
Manually lock it out will help. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Is it worth upgrading to this from my mf01, is there a noticeable upgrade. Many thanks, matt.
I think so in beam distance and light out put plus alot more feature packed. Thanks for watching!
Good day sir Charles. I have ordered astrolux mf01s because I watched from your review videos. Can i ask, is protected cell can be use here? is this can't damaged the flashlight? Sorry for my late comment..thank you
Use unprotected cells only. Otherwise the protected battery maybe tripped if used on the higher outputs. Thanks for watching!
Hi, tripod link broken, can you please give me details about the tripod? also do you knowhow to attach lanyard with the torch?Thanks in advance
This is old review. Maybe Google search might help? Lanyard hole? Thanks for watching!
Do you know what the problem is? My MF01S does not remember the last mode when I press the button 1 time. If I press the button 1 time from the off state, then the maximum mode (not turbo) is turned on, although I turned off the lamp somewhere in the middle mode.
Factory reset it. Thanks for watching!
very nice Vid !!! if you say Wilderness i get goose bumps regulary ! was about to order , but it is not available in Ducati red . When will there be colored ones again ? Thx !! greetings from Germany
Keep checking stock for its low due to holiday sales. Thanks for watching!
Where can I buy the Efest batteries? Banggood.com and amazon.com does not offer them for sale. Also, did you find a better lanyard than the included one? I bought this light and I too do not like the lanyard that comes with the light. Thanks.
MIRBatteries.com or 18650batterystore.com is were you can get Efest cells. I don't use a lanyard. Thanks for watching!
Hi Charles, it’s me again. Really love your videos. Which will you choose & which one is brighter? Haikelite HK04 15000 lumens or this one the Astrolux MF01S 15000 lumens? And which one step down faster after on turbo?
Stepping down from turbo depends on your weather for which its being used on any light. Thanks for watching!
Which one did you get? HK04 is a beast as well.
Please, does anyone know how much electrical current it consumes in turbo mode? I know it works in 2s2p mode
Almost 17A. Thanks for watching!
I'd like to see your review on the new wowtac a6. A edc light 18650. It's brand new. I hope you can show it on the channel Charles!
I will be getting a sample soon of it. Thanks for watching!
That was a beast for a small light. Does it have a strobe mode?
Yes in the special features it does. But it takes some clicking to get to it. Thanks for watching!
Hi my brother, which is better in terms of lighting concentration and quality and range astrolux SST40 or XHP50.2
The Luminus SST-40 will throw farther but the XHP50.2 will be brighter at 2654 lumens. The XHP50.2 is a multi LED. The SST-40 is a single LED with 1800 lumens in the CW version max. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTecThank you very much for the fact that you are very nice and I am a fan of what you offer.
This is a good combo of flood and throw. Any idea about Sofirn Q8 Pro?
I have not tested the Q8 Pro. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Of all you have tested, which has the great combo of throw and flood about 10 to 15000 lumens?
@@maich3lbio Fenix LR40R
Love mine 👍🏼.
6500 black is the one I have
Thanks for watching!
I have that same lights and same color only deference is mine is 6500k very bright light and the ui is fantastic. I have many lights with that ui great review Charles.
Thanks for watching!
Is this compatible with protected 18650s ?
No use only unprotected cells. Thanks for watching!
Is this better than the HaikeLite mt03 ii ? Great video subscribed
No its not better. There is a size difference as well. Plus the MT03 is a lot brighter. Thanks for watching!
hi Charles, i have the MF-01 have had for 2 years using NCR 18650B battery made in Japan quite a heavy battery and a fairly tight fit, have a high quality recharger XTAR Dragon VP4. problem is the Flashlight won't enter turbo mode just turns off, also have to loosen the back a little and retighten again to get it to turn on again.
Would you have any ideas of what the problem is.
Looking at getting the new model for my son.
Kind Regards
Tony
Those batteries are not strong enough. Only use LG-HG2 or HG3 cells for best performance. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thank you Charles will look for these recommendations. Are the Samsung 30Q 15 Amp battery ok
Yes they will do as well.
Could not find runtime on google on various steps. Anyone find it?
Nope. But they are very good with quality cells. Thanks for watching!
Hi Charles. Please tell me which would you choose. 4K, 5K or 6.5K for this MF01S & why?? I’m buying one very soon. Many thanx ya.....🙏🏼 Lastly, it uses 18650 3000mah. Is it possible for me to upgrade a higher mah?
You can upgrade to a LG MJ1 3500mAh. As for flood lights I like 5k on everything except dedicated throwers which should be 6k or higher for best light output. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec you are the best man! Thousand thank you 🙏🏻
Very nice👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice review is there a new discount code that I can use for this flashlight?
You can ceck out my store. Use my special discount code at the top of the page. The link is in the discription area of my video. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I tried using CBridgTec code at Banggood it seems to be expired last Feb 13, 2020
Charles, I bought one of these and just received it in the mail today. Inside the plastic bag in the box the two o-rings are missing. Would you happen to know how I can get just the two o-rings that I'm missing? Thanks.
www.ikelite.com/collections/o-rings Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Hi Charles, I called Ikelite today and a woman there told me that they don't have any O rings that would fit this flashlight. I bought the light from a seller on eBay. I messaged him and have yet to hear back from him. My only other thought is to contact banggood.com and ask them if they have O rings for the light. Other than that, can you think of any other suggestions? Thanks.
@@af1966 contact Astrolux directly
Order one from banggood then send it back and keep the o-rings
Which one is brighter and floodier, gt3 or mf01s?
GT3. Thanks for watching!
Hi Charles, I'd like to buy the MF01S with an extension tube, for longer working time. According to what I see, I'll need a "normal" tail cap, because I couldn't use the one that comes with MF01S on the rear of extension tube.
- QUESTION: Where can I buy a "normal" tail cap?
Also, do you have any Coupon code for bamggood, as you posted on the Astrolux MF01 (oeyiginal) review?
Thank you!
Your OEM tail cap should work. Buying a tail cap is not in my online stores. My two online stores are linked below all my reviews for the past 3 years. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec
Thank you for your fast reply!
Watching carefully this video, I see that the tail cap has a screw in the center.
Maybe unscrewing it and removing all that contacts plate, would allow to use it with the extension tube?
Keep in mind that I should use two "normal" battery cartridges instead of the built in system of the MF01S...
Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks!!
I believe I remember reading about this, but I never tried to extend this light. I would do this as you can always screw it to the other barrel. Good luck. Let me know how it goes for you.
Huh, I just realized after seeing that grip that I never got the mount screw in my baggy
Thanks for watching!
LOOK AT THAT!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
This or the TM28. Also you should get the Haikelite HT70
These are two different beam types and price range of flashlights. So if money is not an issue then get the Nitecore TM28. Thanks for watching!
Which is best to buy, the 4k, 5k, or 6k?
5k in my opinion for flood beam types. Thanks for watching!
Does this flashlight get hot on high lumen turbo fast?
It will do almost 2 minutes at 15,000 lumens and yes it gets hot! It runs perfect at around 3k lumens. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec -Always love to watch your video!
Perhaps the flashlight will not melt the handle? It heats up to 80 degrees Celsius.
Nope it will cycle down before that, so its not made to continually run on turbo anyways. Thanks for watching!
hi, between mf01s and haikelite mt09r which is brighter and your choice, thanks
MT09R is brighter. Thanks for watching!
How to reset and hard reset mf01s ?
Factory reset by unscrewing the barrel then press and hold the power switch while you tighten it back up. You will see a series of blinks to confirm you were successful. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thank you so much brother❤️

تحيات! شكرا لمشاهده!
Mine broke on the 17th day of owning it. I may have used it 3 or 4 times
You can get a new head under warranty. Where did you buy it from?
Directly from BangGood. I just got off live chat with them. They have told me to expect a response in 24hours, but we shall see.. It's been well over the 48 hours from when they initially told me I'd get a response..
I will let you know how it turns out.
Please contact me thru PM in my Facebook group using link in description area of video. I will be able to personally help you better. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec thanks Charles that’s nice of you but I don’t have Facebook and with all honesty I am going to let customer service handle things and rate them accordingly. I may or may not continue been a Banggood customer after this experience..
I recently sent them some video evidence to prove the light is not in lockout. I noticed I clicked 4 times once then kept clicking 5 times in the video so I removed it and uploaded another one. Even after I sent them the new upload they (Michelle) choose to reply on the removed TH-cam link with a screen shot showing removed video as if they never saw my new video link.
Well if you change your mind, join the group so I can help you. Take care.
The 18650 batteries it uses are known to be hazards because they catch fire and are also not allowed on aircraft and may also not be allowed in "check-in" luggage because of it. If they are the new rechargeable batteries that same size then OK, but do be careful with those.
Most battery incident or issues are from user error. underneath the wrapper is an OEM cell which are very safe. Thanks for watching!
Code not working, says only for specific products. Any idea?
Order from China warehouse only. Thanks for watching!
But one thing
This light has no type c charging
That's one is disappointed ☹️☹️
This is an old review and model. Thanks for watching!
👍
👍
We are almost in 2020 and all lights of this quality level should have some type of USB charging port IMO.
If you say so. Its not need really on these bigger lights when one can charge cells with a charger in their vehicle etc. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec its convenience, not disasembling the flashlight, not carrying a charger too. Certainly most of us have usb squares in our homes or vehicles to charge our cellphones, besides the option of usb charging does not hurt anyone :)
No problem. If they were to add charging to it I hope it to be a magnetic USB cable instead. Take care.
Difficult with multi battery flashlights that have batteries in series.
The "X" iteration of this light has it but by all accounts this is a better light.
Bridg Tec NASA says that Light can be seen from the Space Station.
LOL. Thanks for watching!
I bought the same light through Banggood and it has a switch bounce issue it locks up into a slow blinking mode The only way to unfreeze it is to take the batteries out it does this quite frequently and no luck getting it replaced from Banggood they don’t seem too be very receptive when it comes to replacements i’ve sent them several emails at least four text conversations which include videos photos of everything they asked for still no luck. I would stay away from this one.
I might be able to help you. Can you become a member of my Facebook group. Please PM me there with your order number so I can try to get you at least another head for your light. Thanks for watching!
Link to my Facebook group is in the description area of this video. Thanks
Issue is being resolved thanks to Charles.
First!
