Hi Vinh,
Does that mean we have to wait a while before receiving more MT90vn+'s?

Hi Vinh,

By the way. This is definitely one of those rare light that i want two for myself. One I am going to bring around in my truck just to show off and another I am going to stack away for SBT100.
MT90vn+ just broke the 3Mcd mark. Now I can call this a 3Mcd light!
Larger shorter wires + a bad *** battery carrier is mandatory!
Are those custom made or just updated battery carriers from Mateminco?
Because the buck driver stepped down at about 90s as it overheats when the light is still chilly cool. I used these type of drivers in the previous GTvn90 before and Turbo runtime was greatly limited by driver heat. Gotta step down when the light is not even warm is not fun and does not fittting for the size of the light. With a light this big its nice to be able to run Turbo for as long as the battery allows.
No flashlight manufacturer ever says Turbo duration, especially when it's just about 1-2 minutes. Mateminco is no exception, in fact in the MT90+ the duration of the turbo is just 90 seconds, after which the thermal protection reduces abruptly the output in order to protect the driver and the LED. Of course a longer Turbo would be more appealing to customers but then why does the manufacturer limit it to such a short time? The only reason is that the manufacturer does not want excessive heat to damage the flashlight.
MT90vn+ Spec 3 allows for continuous turbo. Also, Vihn states: "With a light this big its nice to be able to run Turbo for as long as the battery allows." I think this is a chimera! You can run Turbo for as long as the flashlight temperature allows you to hold the light! And this time is not that longer than the Turbo runtime of the stock driver.
Since the Acebeam K75 has a turbo of just 90 secs, I bought the K75vn with the driver VNX2 which allows to the Turbo to run continuously. Good, but after only 150 secs of the turbo, the light is so hot that you cannot hold it! So I spent an extra $110 just to gain 60 seconds! Bah... continuous Turbo is just a dream with high output lights.

Fan instruction from the factory. They claim there are no FOREVER lock out.
The fan UI: 3 clicks to turn on, long press to turn off.
4 clicks to battery check, 5 clicks to lockout and unlock
6 clicks to lockout, only physically power off to exit like unscrew the tailcap
Vinh,
Are there instructions on how to set the fan speed? I was not given any. I dont think You can.
I now have two Mateminco MT90vn+'s. The fan speed is low on the first one, and high on the second one. So I suspect there is a way to change the fan speed. Both of your handle are not from the same brand. One is Mateminco and the other Astrolux. Which one blows harder?
