Awesome, as always! 👍Really cool! You're a great reviewer!
Code saved me $30! Bought even though I have an SP36 Anduril on the way :)
Thanks!
I beefed up the tail spring with extra wire so it can draw more current, and with a Samsung 40T I seem to be measuring around 12,000 lumen when I first do a max burst, and it quickly settles down to the 10-11k lumen range. This is an awesome flashlight!
Nice!! what kind of wire/braid would you recommend please?
@@MrSimonj1970 Massive copper
I just bought mine.. can't wait!
Very good review. the ec01 and ec03 hade the same throw,
but Ec 03 hade fantastic more flood. I have got the Astrolux ec01., and i am are very pleased with it.
At last. I have been waiting for your review for the past two weeks. I especially like the long range test. Excellent!
Holy crap! That's a lot of light for that price! Thanks for sharing, i'm going for one of those.
I nearly choked when I saw the discount price. 4 years ago 7,000+ lumens was over $200
and was bigger needing more batteries.
Great review as always! I ordered this immediately it went on sale on banggood, recieved it 2 days ago amazing light!
..Probably the best review I've ever seen in my life so far..
This is the most perfect flashlight review
Awesome review 👍👍👍
This is gravy man...love it
Another highly enjoyable review FLASHAHOLICS!! On the basis of this review I just bought this light. Can't wait to compare it to it's little brother the EC01!
It made the EC01 look very ordinary. Especially the tint. The EC01 is yellow in the middle and purple on the outside!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I think I got lucky with the tint on my EC01. No weird colors or artifacts and tint appears to be a bit warmer than the advertised 6500K.
I was pretty impressed with my EC01, for £19 it's very good. I just purchased the EC03 for £31 so seems like another belter of a light for the price!
I have both, and actually like the EC01 a little better I think. Except for the head size needed for the 3 led lights they are about the same. The 3500 lumens of the EC01 will run a little longer without getting as hot. 6700 lumens does not appear to be almost twice the lumens to my eyes. I might have been expecting a little more of a wow factor with the extra 3200 lumen turbo output, and it does look brighter, but not to the degree I expected. It does get insanely hot very quickly on turbo, which was expected. I prefer the Sofirn IF25A to either as an every day carry or even the IF25 with its unique adjustable color temperature. All of these are really good EDC option. The EC03 just gets uncomfortably hot so quickly that the turbo can be used for very limited amount of time. If lost in the woods, it will be great to start fires though. The head on this light gets fire starter hot very fast.
@@sarge1231 The Aux lights on my fireflies E07 broke and they are currently sending me a new one, great customer service. The E07 is still my fav but I am impressed with both EC01 and EC03 I agreed with your thoughts on it though. For one led the EC01 is impressive, unfortunately x3 more led's does not mean x3 more light.
I love your reviews
Thanks John.
That review was awesome 👌!!!!!!
Great video! This is how to present a flashlight demonstration. Brilliant
Can’t beat a spot of light music
Just got my EC03 - I bought it on sale for pretty much the same price I bought EC01 two months earlier.
Both are amazing flashlights and the only gripe I have with both of them is that the PWM is at 16kHz for the EC01 and at 15.7kHz for the EC03 which makes both of them audible and very annoying to me (though EC03 is much louder while EC01 is barely audible). Also my friends don't hear the sound at all so this is only a problem for people with good hearing :P
Anyway I don't know if the frequency is a property of the Anduril UI or flashlight design but I wish it was either pushed past 20kHz so it wasn't audible anymore or lowered to below 10kHz so the sound would be less annoying.
Good music for the video👍🏻
It gets mixed emotions!
The two levels that are accessible when locked out are simply the floor of stepped mode and the floor of smooth ramping mode. By setting those levels in ramp config, you can customize the two levels of locked out moonlight.
On this one I only seem to get the low of stepped ramp.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Same here, or at least I only get the floor of whatever ramp mode I last set. Works with my MF01S though
Good video brother😁👍👍👍👍
Cheers Kim.
Great review as always - but you fool going into the dangerous place without your owl horn! I expect to see you carry one in future videos.....
Funny you should say that, my next review is of a siren/beacon.
Is it owl proof? I look forward to the graph..... 😂
Another great review 👍 I've been looking forward for you to review this light. I do really like the beam pattern. Its tint doesn't look like 6500K on camera. It appears to be just a really bright natural tint. Since I already have two MF01 Mini's and two EC01's, I'm trying to convince myself I don't need this light. But....👻👻
Yeah the hotspot is probably 6500 but then the corona and spill look under 6000
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I also wanted to ask about your comment that when you used turbo the first time you got a reading of 5900lm but it got brighter with use. Does this happen with other lights or is this an unusual occurrence? Do you have any idea what might cause this?
@@craigs7181 It happened with a few of my FIREFLIES flashlights, it could be just thread grease or something burning off. Good thing is it records around 6900-7250 each time now.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV That makes sense, because when one of my lights starts to flicker or get dim, I just clean them up and everything is fine again. Thank you
@@craigs7181 which parts do you clean for improvement when they go dim etc?

Wish they have a LH351D version soon.
hi, can you generate another discount code for the eco 3, the first one no longer works, thanks.
Glad they came out with this. I found the EC01 a bit too throwy...
Awesome review as always. Seems like the difference in output from the 30T vs 40T is negligible, wonder what was all the big fuss about.
It always is.
I have one. I have a question about momentary mode. Does it memorize tactical strobe? Sofirn sc31pro can memorize tactical strobe in momentary mode but my ec03 can't. When 5 clicks, it memorizes the last brightness. I just don't know why. Do they have different Anduril? Thanks.
Perfect, informative, funny. The EC03 is a very interesting light. You did the right thing. Not the EC01 is the opponent, that's the MF01 mini. And the MS03? Lots of lumens but less effective
It is to be viewed as a budget big brother version to the EC01, the MF01 Mini is the bling little brother to the MF01S.
hi, can you generate another discount code for the eco3, cheers.
Hi. Thanks for yours videos,
You do a very good reviews.
Till now you can buy ec03 with xhp50.2 but now you can buy with sst40 (5000k & 6500k)
will you make a comparison? I like the tint of the sst40. Which one would you recommend?
Thanks and regards.
XHP50.2 for flood, SST40 for throw

Awesome review as always.
Looks like a sweet light and can hold turbo a while.
Would you go for this if the MF01mini?
Probably the Mini just for the AUX lights. I just wish the mini was floodier as in the woods there's not much wide spill to make you feel secure
FLASHAHOLICS Cheers. Or maybe I try and bag your D4SV2 instead 😉
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Appreciate the comparison. You preempted the question on everyone's mind!

I like the way the EC03 lights up the park benches in the long range test.Owning an Astrolux EC01 and a MF01 mini with the copper heatsink mod, is there a point in buying this one too (perhaps beamwise)?
Hmm, I'll be buying a few for gifts at $35.99 but if I already had a Mini then I don't think I'd need this one for myself as they are so similar in performance.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks mate, for being helpful as always:-)
That's a great question because I have the EC01 and EC03 and flip flopping on the MF01 mini. Went for the EC03 first as it seems a more rounder and useful product for me e.g. strike bezel, IPX8 rated, longer runtime at higher output (from what I gather). I just wish it had a tad more throw and of course aux lights (love them on my MF01S)
Ec03 vs mf01 mini which one is brighter and best
Hey great review. How does self charging work with 3.7V batteries. Does it self terminate at the right level
I think I heard somewhere it terminates at 4.17V which I prefer for slightly extending the overall battery life instead of going all the way to 4.2v
I’m trying to understand something - maybe you can help? 6700 Lumens is awesome. But, let’s say I want to use this light for around 1,500 or say 2,000 lumens BUT keep that level stable. Is that possible? I’m confused by all the step-down/ramping these lights do. Seems reasonable to me you should at least be able to run a certain high level (not max turbo) constant until battery is dead. Is this possible? BTW - New to the LED flashlight world - just bought a Sofirn 31 V2.0 & love it - already have the itch for more!! Subbed your channel. Thx
Usually around 1300 lumens is peak for this size of light.
Your code is not working. Do you have a new one?
do you know where i can get one with the xhp50.2? everywhere i look i can only get one with an sst40 which is not what I’m after
Tried using your Banggood link but can’t. Keeps on asking me to fill up zip code even though ive done it.
Please compare ec03 vs mf01 mini vs sp36 vs e07
I just subbed. had seen a few of your light reviews and liked your review style and i like the the eclectic assortment of lights. like i mentioned i'm new here and only watched a couple of your vids b4 subbing. so my knowledge of your review style is limited to the few i've seen. on this one i had to mute the audio. i don't know if it was royalty free music or that over 70 exempt music.i apologize if my comment/questions were rude that was not my intent. my taste in music is my own. what i dislike others may adore.but what's of more importance is the actual content and that is very good.
Yeah, it's royalty free music. I would talk but my microphone is a bit keen and people from the US can't understand my accent.

It depends on what country you live in. While I have purchased and received some batteries from Banggood, some have never made it to the US and were returned to Banggood. I had no problem getting a refund for those orders, but if you live in the US, I recommend Li-ion Wholesale in Pennsylvania. They offer genuine manufacturer batteries at great prices.
I hope you went to ebay for the same battery at £1 cheaper and only wait 2 days for delivery not up to a month!
Im waiting for EC03 vs FW21 Pro. It could be iteresting.
Another reviewer says his FW21 Pro is broke and limited to Turbo only. I dislike the button on the FW series, sometimes it lags and sometimes it sticks on!!!! Sometimes the FW won't turn on at all until you reassemble the button mechanism.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV i agree on the button, it's a lot of money for a very cheap feeling button and spoils the experience of the torch.
Got my light, but the button stays dimly lit when he light is off. I heard there may be a setting to turn that off. Is there a way to do this and is this normal? Thanks for the great video as always.

I'm not an avid collector I do like to pick some every once and again. I'm not an owner of any astrolux lights so I'm not knowledgeable on their quality. Iv mostly thought klarus and olight. Had a couple Thrunite's but my very first thrunite failed and they would not honor the warranty. I told them right up front I'd be completely honest with them because it it only worked intermittently. 5, 6 clicks to power on. 3 years ago. Single 18650 model. TC10 maybe. I was looking under the couch for my daughters pacifier. Cats love playing keep away with the babies pacifier. The light was laying down on the cushion. I pushed on the cushion to get up which made the cushion slope down. The light rolled off the couch where it fell approximately one half of one meter or about 18". It rolled off and stayed flat and level as it dropped a crippling foot and a half onto a plush living room carpet with 1/2" thick padding. Customer abuse. Denied. I've noticed thrunite's finish is terrible also. Coating comes way too easy. My klarus and olight"s dont have a scratch on them.so I just bought the Olight Seeker 2 Pro in blue. Do you think there's enough difference between your reviewed lightt here and the seeker 2 pro to warrant getting this too? I'd like any opinion, please and thanks.
p.s. great channel.glad I found you.
Astrolux are very reliable in my experience. Thrunite, Olight and Imalent are hit and miss.
This is a must light if you don't have the Astrolux MF01 mini
To bad banggood hasn't registered for vat on e-commerce. The price could easily get tripled if I ordered one from banggood. I haven't used banggood for many months.
lets say i go for a 30 minute walk, i start off on turbo mode. So after a few minutes its going to go dimmer and dimmer ? Will medium mode keep the same brightness for the full 30 minutes then ?
Max ramp? no.
why offer a new discount code in "seconds" when the first one has ended if your not going to bother? I've been asking you since yesterday.
What is the best 21700 cell you can get for your money at the moment? I need 2 for my EC03. Is 40A enough?
I'd go 40T all day long.
What is the sustained lumen output without temperature stepdown for EC03, EC01, & FT02S? Let say, at 20°C ambient, 25 km/h wind. And what light do you recommend with a similar beam and ~3000 lumen sustained light output? I'm planning to use it for off-road cycling with a 30000 mAh power bank attached.
/ I have an Astrolux BL02 for road usage. /
You're looking at a bulky light like MF01S to sustain 3000 lumens.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks. And what do I need for a sustained 2000 lumens?
The max. ramp of the EC01 is ok-ish, so I could settle down with 2000 lumens sustained.
what is the best battery. for this tn lens?
Samsung 40T for all round performance
when i placed the discount code, they replied to me saying that this code cannot be used on gifts.
That was likely because it put a carrying holster in the cart as a gift. You have to remove the free gift to get the discount, at least that is how I got the discount.
do you prefer this to the ea01?
About the same tbh. The EA01 has the throw and the EC03 more power and turbo runtime. I'm a flood guy so probably would take the EC03 on a long walk.

EC03 for most tasks. Though if you're wanting longer runtimes for a long hike etc then the SP36 as it has higher battery capacity.
Does it worth the FT03 xhp50.2 if I have this one?
Yes, EC03 is a flooder, FT03 xhp50.2 is a thrower (with 'floody-ish hot spot/larger than the sst40 version0)
18650 should work right? Just got mine today. Seller i got it from said it only takes 21700

Definitely samsung 40T, or for longer runtimes less power Samsung 50E/Molicel 42A
Awesome .thanks alot.

@@Arearetee this doesn't work for Astrolux flashlights, already try it
Here's an HONEST review. Ordered the 6500k but it's a pasty white instead of the brilliant white I expected! But leds need max current to reach brightest color & w/ 3 leds... well it gets pretty white on turbo. Torch could have been very slightly wider (the head certainly is) & it would have accommodated the btry it needs, the 26650! It's so short, I find it awkward. Fatter would have been easier to hold as well. It wastes light due to poor focus, well too much spill although w/ that many lums, a flood, albeit messy is useful. Cost me a little over $40 (on sale) fr Bangood & THEIR shipping was only 10 days from China! (My exp. w/ AliExpress has never been fully satisfactory.) It could have been brighter w/ a brilliant WHITE (that's full spectrum) light. IT IS A L O T OF LIGHT for that little thing. W/o even owning one, I think maybe the FW21pro, the choice I was considering, would have made me happier. Of course I didn't choose it due to the piss poor focus. Remember, although these vids are all we've got, they tend to exaggerate what will arrive at your house. If you need a very small torch w/ a big head that really puts out, it's good, I just wish I could read my reviews BEFORE I spend my valuable $.
Thanks for watching!
