According to last years rumors the X9 has active cooling, and back then they said it was 12k lumens. It probably uses 7x XHP-70, 25k lumens is very impressive for the size.
It used to be impressive for the size, but at present it is about the size you expect, I see 2 or 3 X7’s worth of volume and also of output.
looking at the head design it may be really active cooled as in the back of the head are small air holes
and the fins on the head seems to have darker areas where they are go through the inside of the head
It was only a matter of time, I am waiting for the 50k lumen barrier to be broken.
Still, looks nice, and expensive.
50k with decent runtime and acceptable size and weight calls for a backpack with water radiator and battery connected to a small handle with huge head
I hope it have mass enough to run more than 2 minutes in turbo……
The X9 is active cooled with a fan, maybe running a couple of minutes at 25k, but it will step down for sure
EDC friendly for the hulk!
Thats a great evolution!
I think if that light can run about 15k with no more step down, it will be PERFECT 
Impressive, but just too big to be useful in real life (for most of us).
Sure.
It has a cooling fan to confront the huge quantity of heat.
Forget it because of Olight.
There are not rumors.If you look at the video here,Olight X7 8000lm prototype, X9 and Armytek at SHOT Show 2016 ,you will hear the Olight man,to say clear that there is a cooling fan in X9.
Didn’t anyone there ask questions about runtime, stepdowns, battery requirements, and a live demonstration? This unsubstantiated 25,000 lumens number has been kicked around but all that’s observable is the shell of a flashlight in one pic. Does that pictured light even turn on?
No details available anywhere on the web, i dread to think whats the £$ will be!
i guess, 399$, maybe, who know
they should use Lipo, Reduce the weight
maybe a can light 25K lumen
I tried my best to get there, but unfortunately couldn’t get past the planning stage. Way too much money between travel and a room to sleep in. That and I believe it requires commercial access to get in.
Would have loved to be there though.
My guess is that the price will be $400 indeed.
$400 for a 25k lumen olight light sounds too cheap to me.
I think at least $599 if it comes with the battery pack…
