Re: Review of Astrolux A01 - for subimission in the review Forum
I have just receive an Astrolux A01 from Banggood and I must say that for the US$10 (with free shipping) I paid I'm pretty impressed with it.
I've been using an L3 Illumination L08 light on a daily basis - it is also a Nichia 219 (Here's a thread - http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...ichia-219-1xAAA)-Review-RUNTIMES-BEAMS-VIDEO) and it also has moonlight mode as its first mode.
The L08 does tail-stand easily so it wins on that.
But the A01 costs less and produces a fairly similar output - great value IMO.
My L08 has one obvious failing - the holes for a split ring are quite close to the edge and I had to stop using mine because it looked like it would wear through completely and I would lose the light off my key ring. The A01 definitely wont have that problem.
I think I'll put the A01 on my keyring and use it as my EDC - it does exactly what I want from my EDC light.
