So that they can say ā€œmy dad is bigger than your dadā€ā€¦.

Itā€™s all a massive numbers game. Big numbers sell. This is 10k lumens, that is crazy. I still reckon itā€™ll be too hot to hold after 5mins if it stays on full pelt.

Couldnā€™t high mode be 2500 lumens or something sustainable for 10 mins or so?
1200 lumens from something capable of 9000 is more like a low to medium mode.

I have already gave them my feedback including UI. Hope it is not too late.

I couldn't agree more. It would be better if they have included at least one intermediate mode between 2500-3000lm value.

I hope they fix the UI, if they donā€™t I doubt they will sell many of them.

Interested depending on price and if they have better mode spacing like 3000 and 6000 between 1500 and 10,000.

Interested depending on price. Mode spacing be dammed, I only intend to use it on turbo! :smiley:

Nope, then youā€™ll get the folks whining about how this is a poorly engineered product because it canā€™t even stay on high for more than 10 minutes or so. So we get modes called turbo, turbo 1, turbo 2, etc. High can run for 2.5 hours, doesnā€™t that look great on paper? Ha! I donā€™t want the highest mode to be able to stay on indefinitely. I want it to push to the point just before damage to the flashlight occurs, and if that causes 3rd degree burns or starts a fusion reaction, thatā€™s okay with me.

Iā€™m going to have to look into that engineering mode. 10 lumen moonlight is ridiculous, but I could see times where Iā€™d swap a true moonlight for a specific low.

/\ Sure but how long will it last on turbo without dropping down in power dramatically.
The body is small. There doesnā€™t appear to be much mass in there for getting rid of the heat from the emitters.
The nearest thing Iā€™ve got to that is the TN36 and that gets too hot to hand hold after ~15mins

Interested depending on price and dimensions and available tint.

My concern with this light is the size of the light and the amount of heat itā€™s going to put out. Iā€™ve just sat down with my TN36 (fresh cells), a temperature probe and a lux meter.

The light was on for 15mins and went from room temperature (probe reads a little high here) and topped out at 68c.

At this point the light was too hot to hold and the output had dropped a fair bit. Iā€™ve got no way of accurately measuring at the moment but the lux meter shows you an idea of how many ā€œunitsā€ it dropped by rather than just seeing it get a bit darker.

So this is a 6000 lumen light that looses power quite dramatically in under 15mins and at the same time gets far too hot to hold.

How this 10k lumen monster will cope is beyond me!

Not only the heat of the emitters but when I took the cells out just now they were all really hot. 15mins use and down to 3.96v too so quite an impact.

Iā€™ll post a 4x sped up youtube video in just a bit so you can see 15mins compressed a fair bit :smiley:

Put me on the list.

Itā€™s going to be good competition with the Q8. They each have their pros and cons.

My olight x7 has reasonable spacing 3-5-9000 lumen, why cant other brand make UI like that
