The SST40 certainly seems the most popular choice.

Got it last night! This thing is bright af.

i like ec03 too

Cheers for watching!

SST40`s 6500K that is.

Thank you!

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I also bought it but it broke down after a week, it can't be charged

Astrolux are great for the price but the beam and tint are often lacking. They are more reliable than Imalent, Fireflies and Lumintop and quarter of the price of Emisar. Thst little bit of fine tuning and Astrolux will be the dogs!!!

An Olight kept my pocket warm

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Until it burned through ....been there, got the t-shirt!

if your LED is SST40, the XHP doesnt have any

I'll have a look.

The FT03S is putting out much more lumens than the EC03, even if the comparison looks similar. A camera can only show so much

Thanks! 👍

What minute is the diffuser?

Cheers. deep multi-reflector lights nearly always have artifacts or insane petals, shame really.

''around the same price''?? Where??

@@smitthone banggood there was £2 difference when i bought them... The xhp50.2 ft02s was £41 and the Haikelite hk04 was £43

@@smitthone but now just checked they're adding £15 shipping on most of the flashlights 😔

Any reason not to choose the HK04 13000 lumens? Some say quality and finish of the Haikelite is not as good. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this thing is brighter than my Q8 which makes me unsure of whether it's 11k Lumens, I have the XHP50.2 version with a Samsung 40T and swear the FT02S looks about 4500 lumens, although it could be that the Q8 is also a beast at throwing so it lights up more of the backyard

I have the sst40 LEDs so it's only supposed to be like 7000 lumens instead of 11000 but the throw is supposed to go further but presumably they don't make as much heat as the other ones and I just tried mine and it lasted a minute and 30 seconds before I decide it was hot enough and turned it off

Hopefully better than 2020!

Halo bang

Probably floodier with hopefully a nicer beam profile

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV is it worth it..? considering i already have an ec01,ec03, and a c8f21700 (nice tint xpl-hd triple).. now my urge is towards lo-mid throwy torch.. might hunt for the c8g xhp35...

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV thanks so much! I do appreciate it.

For budget one ec01 or ec03 its unbeatable for price and power for the size. I have ec01 (20euro)for 8 months and work great, is my edc flashlight.

Very similar lights so it's a choice between compact or heat handling.

One doesn't the other is a smack rat so is unawares

Should be in the post!

Haikelite quality seems ok, never had a faulty one, but they overestimate their lumens and the tint is usually painfully white.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks for the fast reply! Between the Astrolux FT02S and FT03 which do you prefer? How about Haikelite HK04 vs. MT40? Thanks again.

It's the amp difference that makes the power on different 3.7V cells, at the moment around 35amps is the most from a 21700 you can get.

Do you have a timestamp?

A lot of lights flicker, it may need the contacts cleaning preferably with alcohol all the driver might need tightening with tweezers.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks for the reply. Just gave it a quick clean, didn't sort it. (It was pretty grubby though - aside from the lube on the threads). Next stop, tightening the driver. I'll update here.

Right, undid the locking ring in the head, that holds the driver in place. Gave it a clean up and repositioned and tightened it right up, and all seems good now. Cheers.

The sst40 ec03 has a tighter hotspot for more throw. I like the xhp50.2 though. Miniature sun ☀️

So far which one is the best sst40 or xhp50.2?

@@a.dinhoanrose5284 the sst40 profile is longer throw but casts quite a spill in fact. The close up hotspot the 50.2 is double the size hotspot of the sst40. If you want more up front illumination the 50.2 will make daytime to your immediate surroundings and then some. Sst will throw further with a tighter center hotspot. Sst has a greener hue on the up ramp but evens off to CW. The xhp50 seems more blue to me. If I had to part with one. I could not decide.

@@a.dinhoanrose5284 For me I prefer Xhp 50.2 Because it has higher lumens and very bright and wide beam

Well the Sp36 is a great light but is too bulky, and floody, the Ft02s sst40 is more versatile and practical and more throwy, but have a rainbow effect in the beam, if you want a real budget king is the Astrolux Ft03 Xhp50.2 is a combination of throw and flood without the rainbow effect in the beam.

SP36 BLF edition would be my pick although I do not have an FT02S to compare it to. You can get warm white high CRI versions from Sofirn if you're game to order from them. Although 5000k is still high CRI thanks to the Samsung emitters if you order from elsewhere.

I'm not sure, Banggood asked me if I wanted to review it but I declined as I'd already bought the 50.2.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Would be great if you were able to also get the SST40 and compare the two versions. So many people are on the fence between them, including me. There are some comparisons already, but your reviews are on another level!

Ger this n sell EC03

BGAFT02S Still works for me

Yeah a few, and a violet tinge on the outer spill but there wasn't annoying petals at least. TIR optics remove artifacts but often narrow the spill.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV strange, the photos on BLF show petals

@@PiercingTheDarkness Watch the review, the spill is pretty much perfectly round like a conventional single LED reflector, there are just some black rings near the outer edges.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I have done, just different than what everyone else is saying who has the exact version. I'm a dealer for Mateminco so I'm on the fence as to whether I stock this model or not. Will you do a review on the EA01?

@@PiercingTheDarkness Maybe we will see, I have a lot to get through! For the price the artefacts are worth putting up with imo. The IMALENT DT70 had a worse beam and that light was legendary.

Holds turbo a lot longer, throws 200m further but the beam is nicer on the pro
