HaikeLite Preview for MINI Triple-XHP70 prototypes--Discussion thread

Not a good idea for a solid contact .
Just my thought

Threaded ring would be preferred, but if you want, don't leave any guide holes - we can drill them, not a problem...

looking forward for a review, but so far im interested. The price will decide if I give it a shot :wink:

Good looking light!

Have you applied for a review? They want someone to do a video review if I’m not mistaken.

Solution confirmed —Threaded copper ring.

Nice!!

Hello Haikelite,

can you perhaps share some information about the stepdown process?

- How long can the light produce 8000 lumens before stepping down?

- Is it time based, or is it temperature based?

- Is there a fulltime thermal protection on the light?

  • And do you get the full 8000 lumens with half depleted cells?

Thanks!

The reflector is very shallow. Not gonna see any useful light in 200 metres range. Sometime a hotpsot is needed to spot things at distance.
Interesting to see how this compete with olight x7.

Any auto step down from turbo or high?

And why there is a gap between body tube and head?

Is there any donut hole in the beam?

can not see any donut hole in the beam, close to wall or at distance.

Specific info will be public next week. :slight_smile:

The hotspot can only been seen in close distance.

What gap do you point to? The gap among the cooling fins? It’s designed for lanyard hole. There are two landyard holes in the head, normal camera belt can fit this light,though no much need to use a belt for soda can light. Would be good to use a belt in other two big haikelite monsters.

Haikelite: take a look at the Olight X7 marauder, I think it has set a pretty high standard for triple XHP70 lights.

It also only costs $199, it might be useful for you to set as reference.

See picture no 3 on your first post.
Where the body tube screwed in to the head there is a small gap. Before the fins.

That’s why I want them to push output higher. Under 10k lumens isn’t that special anymore. If this thing has thermal regulation, then crank output to 11 for turbo mode, then crank it to 19 for a super turbo mode.

9 to 10k lumens is superb.

Will , 199$ isn’t so cheap , and i think even HaikeLite has a lower target… :beer:

Even with temperature step-down and thermal regulation, Turbo really gets hot after 4-5 minutes.
10K VS 9K has almost no difference to human eyes. And Less than 1 minutes turbo runtime is not we targeted.

18K haikelite is still under internal testing. We planned to release the sample next month. It’s a totally different form factor with huge heatsink area

Final UI updated:

Single Click-on ; Single Click-off

Hidden Moonlight 1-5 lumens (press and hold switch in off status)

Low Low-Low-Mid -High (Long press to change modes ; with last mode memory)

Double click Turbo (Double click in any mode , Single click to previous mode or OFF)

Click+hold+flash signal to lockout the light; Repeat to unlock. Tailcap-lockout also available

Switch LED indicator:

100~50 power: Blue LED on
50~25 power: Blue LED flash twice every 2 seconds
Below 25% power: LED turn red and flash

Blow 20% power: The flashlight will flash fast and step-down to moonlight.

That 18K sounds like the light for me. I don’t need a compact 4x18650 light, so make it big with crazy output. Heat could be good for me though, especially this winter in a poorly insulated shop. I’d have the brightest handwarmer in town.
