Astrolux SC & SS Flashlight Review Comparison. All Copper and Stainless steel Hotrods
Published: 8 years ago
The Astrolux SS and SC are two of the most overbuilt and coolest looking super charged flashlights available. They pack a ton of lumens and throw in each light. It's like an episode of pimp my EDC. Flashlight scientists Wight and ToyKeeper over at Budget Light Forum have created an advanced firmware that allows you to customize the amount of modes, set thermal regulation, and more. In this video I test outputs, runtimes, and actually show night outdoor use shots that are in focus and not blurry. Anyway, where do you buy these lithium ion powered lights? Only banggood right now. While my lights are labeled Kronos, Banggod has now changed the logo on the side and calls them the Astrolux SS and Astrolux SC- but they are the same of my Kronos X6 and X5 seen in this review. Make sure you use only high drain 18650 and 14500 cells in these lights. Otherwise they may not function properly.
