    Introduction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Astrolux should need no introduction now, as we\u2019ve reviewed around 20 of their lights, from the tiny A02<\/a> to the massive MF05<\/a>. Today I\u2019m reviewing the small Astrolux A03 flashlight, which you can guess by the naming that it\u2019s closer to the A02 than the MF05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Astrolux A03 piqued my interest due to its use of the new SFS80 LED. These seem to have an unknown manufacturer, likely the same as the SFN55.2 in the Nightwatch NI03<\/a> that Nick reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The box the A03 comes in states the manufacturer: Dongguan Tongming Photoelectric Technology Co. A bit of Googling shows that this is the same company as Mateminco, who make many lights for Astrolux. Mateminco also sells the light directly, as the Mateminco CSF05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have the black Astrolux A03 for review but Banggood also sells one with a camouflage style. There\u2019s a certain irony about a hard to find camouflaged tool that\u2019s used to help see things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Package quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Astrolux A03 arrived in a small plastic box with Astrolux branding and the specs stuck on. Inside the box is cut foam to keep the light safe in transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
