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

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.

18k light. Ok, that’s light number three. Six lights you were going to release. I hope to hear about the remaining three other lights soon…

Man, can’t wait for the official specs and pictures…

less concerned about instant max lumen number as max sustainable max lumen numbers.

it seems if you ask the question what is the max lumens that can be “used” there seems to be about a 3k upper limit.

or to put it anouther way i want to see a non turbo top 10 shootout.

oh can you give use more info on the tints offered, thanks

Ditto, Like was mentioned in the thrower thread, some 90+ CRI neutral tint XHP70’s would be amazing!

Someone told me 80+ CRI for the 5000K version… :slight_smile:
