ASTROLUX FT02S XHP50.2 review - 11000 lumens, Type-C charging, dimmable, lightning & candle modes!

Nice review my friend. You are the reason that i bought this baby and i dont regret it. I bought the cree version and the power is insane. The beam is nice and wide but it has a good throw as well. At 200m nothing escapes from this and for the record also you can see at 300m pretty fine. Thanks again for the review and for your help 😉

[@DrNJPhotography]

Cheers for this, as ever very useful. Lovely powerful output. Any chance you'll be getting the SST40 and do a comparison, including the EC03 SST40? I get the impression the SST40 will be more general purpose/combination beam with more usable range and decent spill, even at the lesser 7000 lumens (which is respectable) and run cooler. Only a convincing video from you would make me pull the trigger! If the difference in performance between SST40 versions of FT02S and EC03 is as it is here for the XHP 50.2's then it's worth it. I complained about the beam pattern but in real world use it didn't bother me much. Happy New Year!

[@danieljoshua7481]

Happy new year

[@yitzimarks6336]

Some people complained about rings and artifacts in the beam pattern, did you notice it?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

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.

[@PiercingTheDarkness]

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV strange, the photos on BLF show petals

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

@@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?

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

[@bradschaumburg3253]

Thanks for another excellent review, really appreciate your thoroughness. I wish I'd been more careful in looking at reviews before I purchased this light. It's nice looking, and I was drawn to the quad emitter thrower design (I got the sst-40), and the 26650 capacity, but the beam artifacts kill it for me, even out in the field. They don't seem to show up so much on camera. It also seems to me that the spill wastes a ton of light that could be down range; the shallow parts of the reflector just don't shape the beam effectively. Almost all my lights are Emisar and Astrolux (love that Anduril), and of all of them this one is sitting on the bench. Now I'm looking forward to my EA01 arriving!

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

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!!!

[@viktorimre9770]

Thanks for all flashlight comparisons on your channel, they are highly professional. I was thinking about buying Astrolux FT02S but after watching this video I realised that there is almost no difference in comparison with my Astrolux EC03, so it wouldn't worth upgrading to FT02S.

Bought one of these - Sand coloured XHP50.2 5700K.. It's got quite a bad flicker (obviously not in lightning/candle modes, etc..).. Is this something you've experienced? I've tried three different batteries in it, two Samsung 40T 30A 21700 (which both work perfectly in my EC03) and one 26650 cell that came with my Wowtac A5 and it does the same thing with all of them, so it's not a battery issue. You've clearly got lots of experience. Any thoughts? Just faulty? Cheers

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

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

[@bonehead35]

@@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.

I just got the TK04 same thing just with the brand name of mateminco on it but I wish it had an option for a longer tube so it could take 2 21700s because for me the head is really to big to carry in my pocket and it would feel better longer but I'm sure the circuitry would not like 8v

[@christopherraphael7250]

mr matt will you be testing out the SST version as well? i'm stuck between the SP36 BLF or FT02S SST, if anyone has suggestions on the two feel free

[@jo3lo13]

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.

[@android584]

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 have a question. If I get a battery that had a constant 50amp discharge, will it be brighter than a battery with a constant 30amp discharge? I know the voltage is what really makes the light brighter, but some batteries with the same voltage are less powerful than others. I would like to know how this works.

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.

Well - that's another nice piece of flashlight you showed us! But there's one thing I don't like: the way of illumination. Too patchy - isn't it? By the way I like dangerous places 👁️

[@herbertsdc]

What to buy? Can u suggest one?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Emisar D4V2!

[@j.l.1150]

Thanks for the review! Very professional and useful, especially the comparison side by side beam shots. Also great music. I have a Sofirn SP70 and am looking to get a Coke can size light with more flood than the SP70. Thinking about Haikelite HK04 13000 lumens or new Sofirn SP36 Pro, but this Astrolux FT02S seems better than the SP36 in the video. Also, is Haikelite quality as good as Sofirn or Astrolux? All are in my price range of under $100 USD. HK04 has the most lumens, but no comparison beam shots to view. Does anyone have some recommendations? Thanks and Happy New Year!

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

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

[@j.l.1150]

@@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.
