Yeah I know. The 15th they said. It’s really too bad, as they could have just put official photos and specs online, without the light actually being ready for sale… They did this with the current DN/DT lights as well; there was a delay of one or two weeks or so if I recall correctly without any explanation from them…
I thought it was our job to find the bugs, haha! Oh I’m pretty sure you’re right about that I’m afraid… But you never know. I didn’t expect Haikelite to recover so well either.
I believe that DX80 will be close to the stated lumens at least for first 20-30 seconds. Saying this because that 8pcs XHP70 have domes in that last picture , not like DT70 which have shaved domes and automatically less lumens… In practice about 600 lumens less at 5-6Amp, around 3200 per led.
So if they leave domes on it will be 3800x8= 30400 possible lumens on start
