i am in love with this can't wait to get my hands on this .
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Is astrolux mf01 mini better or nitecore mh25s in terms of overall quality and life cycle.
@@Abufast No not at all.
@@CharlesBridgTec I did finally get one last year the gun metal version 6500k with Samsung 40T 21700 30A high discharge i measured around 7000 lumens on mine and pulls around 25 amps such a monster.
I think this Astrolux MF01 mini is the best flashlight next to my Haikelite HK04. I now have Astrolux Mf01 Mini 3x, the silver one with Liitokala 5100mah (26650) 20A, the sand one with Vapcell 5900mah (26650) 20A and a green one with the Shockli 4550mah (21700) 30A. The green Astrolux MF01 with the 21700 battery is brighter, but lasts (security officer) for a day. The sand colored one lasts for 2 days. My Mateminco MT90 mini (blue, green and black) all have an extension tube for a 26800 (6800mah) 30A. 6800mah is on batteries, but the real capacity is between 7150 and 7413mah. The Shockli 21700 has a capacity of 3998mah and the Liitokala has a capacity of 5864mah and the Vapcell has a real capacity of 6803mah.
Thanks for watching!
Agree, the MF01 mini is amazing!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making the video. I just bought one of these, although I got the 4000k one, and this helped me understand the basics. I bought two of the Imren 5500 batteries and also two of the Shockli 26650 5500mah batteries. I read that the Shockli are quality batteries and live up to their claims so I'm using one of those for now. I also have one other flaslight that uses 26650 batteries (Thrunite Catapult Mini) so at least I have some spares batteries now.
Anyway I really like this light so far. I'm a sucker for hi cri and warmer tints and this Astrolux really looks nice. This is probably the brightest light that I own and in such a small size. Although it heats up fast, it is still impressive and it's a nice looking light. I bought the green body style really like it.
Thanks for sharing and watching!
I like that little beast, I think I'm gonna get that one.
Thanks for watching!
Anduril is my favourite UI. Collecting all of the lights with this UI is becoming expensive though.. haha..
Thanks for watching!
Very good review. Ihave bought one too. Green colour.
its a amazing light. very good flood and throw too. i could see the palm tree 👍
Thanks for watching!
This is one of my all time best lights. Not in this fancy copper-steel version, the ‘normal’ aluminum version has exactly the same functions. Lighter, so even more an edc. This light has it all. Anduril is the way to go, only stepping mode, like many ‘toplights’ have is really old school compared to this excellent light. Ok, it has a lot of flood, but it is still a good light on distances like 200m or so.
Thanks for reviewing!
Have you got a Sofirn SP36, Carel? If I'm not mistaken, I think I came across your post in some SP36S or BLF version review video. How do this and the SP36 compare to each other? I like that the MF is quite compact and much lighter. I would get the 4000k version though. While the SP36s or BLF version has nice creamy 5k tint but it's much much heavier.
goedzo
Blgg Tavus yes, very perceptive of you! Indeed I have the SP36. The 6000lm NarsilM 2.1 version that is. Not the Anduril version. Your question is very good. My favorite light with some lumens was the SP36. It is an excellent light, sturdy, good beam profile, excellent ramping and super moonlight too. But.... but now this Astrolux MF01 mini is just as good. It is a bit smaller and lighter (the standard version is) and has a good feel in the hand. Let me say this. When you are in for a good 5000+ flashlight you do good with both. When you want all the Anduril goodies, compare the SP36 Anduril with this MF01 mini. In the end it is your choice. I love both lights and when one is broken or lost I buy a new one right away. Do I say that the best option is ‘buy both’?
Wellll eummm.,, Yes😀👍
Thanks for watching!
@@craigs7181 Thanks for your thought. I actually have the Sofirn IF25 and the SP10S, which both featured the SST20 (different CCTs) and the Samsung LH351D, which have kind of already given a picture of how the MF mini and the SP36 high cri would be. Reason-wise, there's no need for me to buy either for the two I asked about. But you know, I'm gradually becoming a flashaholic.
Grazie Charles per la tua fantastica recensione e per il tuo codice sconto. superprofessionale come sempre.tanti saluti da Milano
Grazie per il supporto e la visione!
Ik have this light too. It's a beautiful light. And with the HLY 26650 / 5000mah battery from Banggood, it is very bright.
Thanks for watching!
Now I gotta get yet another Astrolux. I have the MS01s which is awesome but you gotta remove the batteries to charge them. This one has a charger! And I have the FT02s with a built in charger and I love it, but no cool auxiliary leds.
Thanks for watching!
hi charles... i just bought this amazing flashlight and i love it a lot... the Anduril is fantastic... especially the auxillary LEDs... im enjoying it... i'm a member of the FFP btw.. hehe...
Thanks for the support and watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec sure brother... my channel also is an unboxing channel.. i have also flashlights that I unbox hehe... thank you charles...
SHOOTNG star 18:13 in!! I hope so anyways
OMG! What the heck was that? That was truly an amazingly fast object. Great catch for I will share it in my FB group! Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec
Thanks for making the Videos, i truly appreciate what you do!
Could be an Earth skimming Meteor. ☄️ However, I watched the whole video, and many other things like that also flew by. Maybe dust or insect in the wind. 💨 ua-cam.com/video/tH2w6Oxx0kQ/v-deo.html

Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice light! Great video. Is the body really stainless steel or aluminum? I’m seeing some conflicting things. I love the little copper addition.
Copper thru out. Its a great little light. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec yeah so the head is copper and the body is stainless steel??
It all copper as far I am aware of.
I have it (in grey) and I would like it very much (relatively small but strong) BUT the tint of the SST 20 is of an ugly green (in lower levels). Others have complained on this too. The auxiliary LEDs are quite dim even on high. (not a deal breaker).
Maybe I get me another one with different LEDs. Besides from that it is absolutely great !
Thanks for watching!
I just got a brass mini with SST20 4000K's and it's wayyyy better than my green tint SST20 5000K mini. The 4000K's produce a milky white consistent beam -- so much better. Side by side the difference is incredible. Of course you will lose some lumens with the 4000K's but not much and it's worth it.
Hello! In turbo mode, how long does it work? And how many levels does it reset?
It will run at 1300 lumens without step down. Turbo last about 20 seconds. Thanks for watching!
I think buying a 26800 or 26700 battery. Is this light and other lights compatible with this battery?
No. Thanks for watching!
18:14 was that a shooting star?
Thanks for the review and discount code, I saved approximately £8 on this great little torch.
Not sure what that was. My flashlight group on Facebook we duscussed it as it may have been a dust particle flooting by. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for the reply, that particle came across in pure black space in your video, way above the torchlight cast it wasn't dust buddy.
@@JuliusLemonhead Yeah its still a mystery. Maybe you could share the video with an expert?
This torch with XPL HI 1A LEDs, is it very different in light temperature or lumens?
Yes and in beam performance as well. Thanks for watching!
I just purchased the lumintop edc18. Great little light. Similar to the Fw3 but I like the way the edc18 looks better. Just my opinion. They make great lights. Any chance for a review of the EDC18?
Yes coming soon. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thank you sir.
Charles. The manufacturer suggests a samsung 30t battery in order to achieve 6100 lumens? Do u suggest this? Also, I cannot find run times for various levels, anywhere. Thanks. William
You can use it. I would use a 20700 or 21700. For best performance & would use a 26650 cell. Thanks for watching!
Have you checked out the 4000k version and if so would you say it is better for flood or throw?
I am not a fan of 4k. 5k is the lowest I like to go with the highest being 6k. Thanks for watching!
Charles, have you investigating the copper heatsink mod that is available for this (see Zozzlights' review) available on BLF? Did you experience the significant ramping issues that others have, and do you think there will be a better fix from Astrolux on this issue?
I have not had any issues with ramping nor stepping UI's. I don't mod lights so I have not heard of an upgraded copper one for this. Thanks for watching!
I don't mind the ramping UI, but what I meant to say was did you experience an issue with it not staying at high brightness because of heat issues (IE going to much lower brightness shortly after turning on)?
Thanks.
Cycle down from Turbo is normal. This is a pure copper heat sink so this is normal for safety reasons. You can increase turbo runtimes if you program it via the Anduril software in the manual. Take care.
Hello Charles Bridgtec, I am in interest of a light that is in the 5000 to 8000 lumen range that leans more to the flood side, with good side light that extends out decently. If you would have any recommendations would be much appreciated, thank you.
Check out the Imalent MS06 or R60C which I reviewed. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thank you for the information, will watch those soon.
any model, type of flashlight, i can find in ur channel... i fell familiar with your channel... 😁😁😁
Thanks for watching!
nice flashlight.
Thanks for watching!
Do you think the fireflies e07 is too big to be a daily pocket carry light? I really want one as my new edc but I would also consider the emisar or even an FW3A light that every person has. What do you think?
Or the lumintop edc18. It's fantastic!!
Thanks guys, good to know
I don't think is great for EDC but I tend to carry bigger lights for EDC. I would have no issue uzing the as an EDC if holster is found for it. Thanks for watching!
Hey Charles do you know when the blfgt90 will be available on Bangood?
I am not sure at this point. Thanks for watching!
Just bought one, what would you recommend as the next step up?
Too many to recommend. LOL! Thanks for watching!
Paying this for a pocket torch it should come with a battery .
If you say so. Thanks for watching!
👍

Thanks for watching!
Verry nice
Thanks for watching!
Sofirn sp36 or this?
Depends on you and beam type. Thanks for watching!
I have bought this light. But I looking holster for this light.
I believe banggood sells universal ones which will fit. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec will the holster for the Astrolux EC01 work. Because I will not buy from BANGGOOD for personal reasons. This Astrolux Mf01 mini in brass is bought on Aliexperss.
I understand, but that holster will be too small for it. Take care.
Nice but it step down very fast
Not really for its size. Turbo is not meant for continuous use. Thanks for watching!
