HaikeLite XHP70 Thrower Prototype Sneak Preview

Nice, appears to be a fair bit brighter than the L6.

It should be brighter then the L6 with the extra current, makes me want to build a TA driver for my L6 lol.

Do you have any beam shots on a white wall in the lower modes to show if there is any “donut hole” in the beam?

Only very close to wall (about half meter),you can see a tiny dark hole. Over half meter the donut hole can barely been seen.

SMO reflector has a donut hole. Will do a comparison between OP and SMO tomorrow night.

Beamshots looks good, it seems to be considerably throwier than the L6. HaikeLite can you also do a side by side white wall shot vs the L6 at about 3-5 meters using the OP reflector? Thanks

Indeed, I would also like to see this.

Do you have a neutral white version for comparison while you are at it?

Yes, will do it tomorrow.

@Texas_Ace

We have NW version to compare.

Just measured the Convoy L6 head and reflector.

L6 head at the bezel: 73 mm (75 mm at thickest point, lower down)

L6 reflector: 63.0 mm I.D., 67.5 mm O.D., 48.5 mm depth

As posted in the OP, the MT07 has a 72 mm I.D. and 68 mm depth, so with the extra 9 mm of I.D. width, the MT07 should definitely out throw an L6 with everything else being equal (LED/amps). The extra 20 mm of depth should mean the spill on the MT07 should be narrower by quite a bit, so that should make the spill area brighter, maybe a slight bump in throw, maybe... Good comparative beam shots should make it clear, but we'll have to wait on that - hopefully those great garden beamshots done in Germany will soon include the MT07.

Thread here on bluzie's garden - he's got posts with lots of beamshots: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/37084

Seeing the first beam shots of the XHP 70 Thrower and the MINI Triple XHP70, I think I will go for the xhp 70. [for now]

Tom, your light should almost be there, right? Mine is a few days behind.

11/02: Actually just pm'ed HaikeLite this morn - haven't got a DHL tracking #, but think they sent it to the shipper for DHL shipping on Monday or so.

11/04: Edit/Update: DHL says my MT07 just arrived in the US, Ohio, so should be on schedule for Monday.

11/07: Edit/Update: It's delivered @home , but of course I'm not there . Hopefully will still be there when I get home after work .

Great news, anxiously awaiting your opinion of this light. :+1:

Ok - opened up the box, light looks great! All good, no damage.

Waiting for the review now , right ?
Thanks Tom!

LIVE UPDATES NOW!! :smiley:

Oh man, I got a little heat at home. Made my wife go home to pickup up the DHL package off the stoop - I was worried..., and got 5 more packages today from USPS. Why must they come all on the same day???

Got mine today too! Flat top cells it seems… that was probably discussed earlier, but I don’t have any. Looks like I need to place an order!

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far :

Nice square threads and double up O-rings:

How do you think it’d compare against a stock BTU Shocker?

Stirer. :slight_smile:

Beats the old Shocker all-around, little in stock throw, a lot in stock lumens, lighter more compact package, better UI with the dual side switches, better driver. Wish I had a Shocker to show comparison shots with.
