Very good. Thank you, for showing how to, and when to grease the threads and silicone o-ring.

Thanks for watching!

[@j.hardesty446]

This reminds me a lot of my Emisar D4SV2 x4_XPL- HI 4000k but I switched out the 26650 for the 26800😁😎 love that thing🔥🔦🔦✌️

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Nice. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinduprey9326]

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

[@CharlesBridgTec]

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!

[@terrymcghee5838]

I'm guessing no lockout unless you unscrew the tail cap ?

I show this in my review. Thanks!

What you say as the intro is very true for all flashlight hunters

Well I thought I would include my Facebook group wall paper from many years ago. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

[@gizmocarr3093]

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.🔋❔🔋

[@CharlesBridgTec]

I can honestly say buy OEM cells whenever possible for best performance and life span. Thanks for watching!

[@vincentmartin8]

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

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Typical KZbin rendering. Thanks for watching!

[@hglimshire8356]

What's the best 26650 you'd recommend for output and run times ? As always another great video Sir

[@CharlesBridgTec]

The battery I featured in this review. Thanks for watching!

[@jeremyhawker3879]

What’s the cri on those hp50? Can’t find much online thank you. Love your vids!

[@CharlesBridgTec]

About 5500k to 6000k. Thanks for watching!

[@PinterBanget2]

Whats the difference between HP50 & XHP50?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

@@PinterBanget2 Both are made in China. The XHP50 is a clone of the Cree XHP50 LED made in the USA. Thanks for watching!

[@vapinbachelor289]

Charles have you ever purchased cells from the 18650 battery store? Curious of there service.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

18650batterystore.com, IMRbatteries.com and Liionwholesale.com are who I mainly buy from. Never an issue. Thanks for watching!

[@j.hardesty446]

I've been buying batteries from 18650 Battery Store for 5+ years and I've never had any problem 😎✌️

[@WladimirCruz]

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.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

I don't think it will fit. Thanks for watching!

[@00lightning]

I think they offer a 26800 or 26900 battery tube for this light.

[@reymundjakermabanag4552]

Whats the battery will give a long runtime for this astrolux ae04 and could possibly give thw max output? Waiting for reply sir

[@CharlesBridgTec]

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!

[@reymundjakermabanag4552]

​@@CharlesBridgTecdoes it have a charger?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

It has a port as shown in the video. You need a charging cable.

[@shashiranjan5430]

Hello.....Dose it run with protected 21700....thanx

[@Surya_Hit]

Brother suggest me one torch light for bright + long distance(500m to 1km) range. Night time forest visit purpose Fenix c7 or any other???

[@CharlesBridgTec]

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!

[@Surya_Hit]

@@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..

@@Surya_Hit The Nitecore SRT7i will suit your needs. I reviewed it and it is very nice.

What's the difference between the EA04 and the FT02S?

Body and LED used and lumen output to name a few. Thanks for watching!

[@jbr84tx]

@@CharlesBridgTec My FT02S uses 4x HP50.2 LEDs also, but has output of only 11,000 lumens.

Hello, wich battery should I buy for this flashlight so that i can achieve maximum power?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Buy OEM cells whenever possible. Thanks for watching!

[@h.k.5345]

@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks for the quick answer, I mean 26650 21700 or 18650 wich one is the best for this flashlight?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

All I can say is my favorite are the 26650 flashlights. My second would be 21700 or multi cell 18650 lights.

[@YonGuitarist]

The astrolux ft02s vs the astrolux ea04 which more brighter?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Depends on the LED version you buy in them. Plus the FT03S has a combination or thrower performance versus the EA04. Thanks for watching!

[@YonGuitarist]

@@CharlesBridgTecok sir. Thank you. i mean the FT02s 11,000 lumen XHP50.2 😬

Is it a multi XHP50.2 LEDs?

ea01s with ss40 or ea04 with xhp50?

Decepção

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for watching!

[@RVBrasil]

@@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]

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

[@RVBrasil]

@@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.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

@@RVBrasil Well my tests revealed it does 4k easily and more. Maybe it's the battery you used?
