Review: Astrolux EA04 12,600 lumens?

[TimMc]

Banggood kindly provided the Astrolux EA04 for review.

It appears to be made by Mateminco. It managed to reach a little over 8,700 lumens at turn on. It fell short of the 12,600 lumens claim.

It has a simple ramping user interface. I kind of wish it had modes like Low, Medium, High, Turbo with sustained output so that the manufacturer can test each mode and provide runtime estimates.

There were no runtime estimates. I have performed a bunch of runtimes.

Here is my review:

Astrolux EA04 Torch Review

The Astrolux EA04 is a 26650 sized flooder with four HP50 emitters, a smooth reflector, USB-C charging and a simple user interface.

Not too often you see a flashlight that can run on multiple, different sized lithium rechargeables. That's actually quite impressive.

It's pretty cool! 26650, 26350, 21700, 18650

I wish they included a 26650 🤣

You can also use a 26800 tube from Mateminco.

For example (MT-911 has the same 26650 tube):
