The Astrolux S41 (Nichia) Flashlight Review- Brightest Smallest EDC light ever? (same as Manker e14)
Published: 8 years ago
Looking for the brightest and smallest every day carry LED flashlight ever? This one may be it. I’m serious. The Astrolux s41 is about 1400 lumens and only 3 inches long- so it fit's nicely in your pocket. And in case you're wondering this light is exactly the same as the Manker E14- the Astrolux S41 is Banggood's rebranded version. This is one extremely bright and powerful every day carry and it's under $50. It's one of my favorite pieces of outdoor and EDC gear for 2016. The driver in this light also is the same as in The Astrolux S1 and BLF A6. The driver was designed by wight and the programming code by Budget Light Forum member ToyKeeper. Here's where to buy it.
