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

Fair enough.

Very interesting, if the high-CRI 5000K version is really sold for around 140 USD and the test are good this could be my first superflooder (was looking at the Thrunite TN36UT or Meteor M43 or Olight Marauder X7…).

A few thoughts though:

- I don´t understand why you did not use the double switch from the other XHP70 thrower for this flooder… IMHO holding the switch to cycle through the modes is not good… on the other light you have a two way switch but do not use it the way it would be the most intuitive… I mean the simplest and most intuitive UI is hardly seen on flashlights: two buttons, press UP for mode UP and DOWN for DOWN … simple as that!

Good luck with your business!

Looks interesting, and I agree that $129 is pretty reasonable.

However, I for one would not be willing to spend that kind of money without seeing some kind of review by a reputable BLF user, with an analysis of runtime, output, heating, and general quality of the light. I’m sure others will agree with me on this.

Hi RaVeN

some nice guys will review the light soon

Good stuff!!!
Can send a picture inside the DTP MCPCB?

I'm late to the party here. Just finished reading through the thread. I am impressed by the willingness shown by HaikeLight to listen to input from BLF members. An large number of suggestions have been incorporated into the design of this light.

These days, my favorite flashlight reviewer (by far) is BLF member maukka. He uses test equipment that most reviewers do not have access to, and provides more hard data than most other reviewers. I would love to see his test results for the high-CRI version of this flashlight.

Any chance…. you guys might have bumped the output to 9500 lumens… and call this bad boy MT03?

Yes, MT03 devourer.

Blow is flat matt black anodizing, looks and feel very good , but when i use it outdoor Yestoday , it gets dirty easy. Final big batch is less flat and will be ready for shipping next week.

Have you guys come up with a final turbo output yet?
9000 lumens?
is there a step down? Is there any way you can make each individual reflecter slightly bigger so that it takes up the whole space of the reflecter?
Maybe you can gain a little extra lux by doing so.

The olight x7 is a good example. And I notice the x7 and tn36ut has overlapping reflecters. Yours is almost individual. I wonder what’s the difference and which one is better….?

I think it get`s dirty very easy because of the knurling. Try another knurling ( like convoy for example) and you could clean it easily.

nar i dont think it’s the knurling.

It’s the matte finish that makes it attract dust.

That looks really good Haikelite! The finish reminds me a bit of the Convoy L6, which is a good thing :wink:

It looks perfect in that colour. Good choice.

Knurling can get dirty. The peaks get ragged. Do a quick skim cut to knock the tops off. Personally I don’t care about the anodizing attracting dirt because that means it’ll probably be less slippery when wet and oily.

I find aesthetically the reflector of the X7 and the TN 36 nicer.

Thanks for the update. “Devourer” is a nice name, but it doesn’t really roll off the tongue nicely… or is it just me?

It’s not just you.

Yeah, but at least there’s “MT03” that’s easier to say.

Hello Haikelite,

I’m getting mixed signals here. Is the turbo mode part of the lowlow-low-mid-high-(turbo?) sequence or not? It seems that this is the case for the MT03, but for the thrower model MT07 it seems that turbo is a memorised hidden mode only… Can you please enlighten me? Thanks!
