        An alloy is a generic term for any mix of metals. Aluminium and tin or zinc would be an alloy.

        nvm, I noticed the Chinglish…

  Seems pricey compared to some other really good flashlights (there and on aliexpress)

    Yeah I was pretty happy with the 1xAA one I just got from Aliexpress for $2.80 delivered. Arrived in 2 weeks.

    LAST POST BELOW

    Update:
    On a motorcycle trip my Astrolux had a failure - the head became unscrewed and fell off, lost forever. The magnetic base of my tank bag 'caught' my AAA eneloop and the body of the light was still attached to my keyring - the driver and emitter were in the head though and they are gone.

    I saw the Astrolux A01 lights on special at Banggood so I ordered 3 and I have them now - yay!
    But all 3 have the new UI with the non-Manker drivers - boo!

    I've been testing:
    If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 2 hours later I turn it on and it I get high mode.
    If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 3 hours later I turn it on and it I get low mode.
    Somewhere between 2 and 3 hours this light resets.
    I use the light each morning and it comes on in low mode as I want, that's good I suppose. But if I turn it off then I'll get medium mode unless I wait for more than 2-3 hours.

    I bought a Manker E01 for $15.95 from Manker's site.
    If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 5 seconds later I turn it on and it I get high mode.
    If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 11 seconds later I turn it on and it I get low mode.
    Manker says it resets after being off for 10 seconds, happily this information is correct.

    If you don't want the new (completely rubbish) UI then I'd recommend buying the Manker E01 for a few more dollars and forget about the Astrolux

  I have one of these, and it is worth the premium to cheap white LEDs for the enhanced visibility the yellower light offers, in my view.
  In any case, for $10 you are hardly breaking the bank to see it I'm right or not.

  I agree that the hi/low/flash settings accessible by turning on/off/on are a bit unpredictable. For this reason I bought another (well, 3) nichia 219b LED flashlights with a click button, but the one offered here is substantially brighter.

  I've got one of these.
  Carry it around.
  Cute little guy.
  Low-med-high, with strobe.
  Rotate head to switch - hasn't inadvertently gone on yet, and i've been carrying it for months.

  Once you've experienced a neutral white, high cri light you'll never look at a crappy cool white led the same ever again.
