1) Run time before step down
2) Thermal step down or time based step down
3) How hot does it actually get?

i like to put my light head down, so a stainless steel bezel would be nice. and delivery date? :smiley:

There is no step down on the prototype and Utorch was asked to leave it that way on the next prototype/sample. So you will need to turn it down yourself when you think it’s getting too hot.

Interested depending on price.

SS flat bezel is my idea, I feel that is more inline with modern lights design like X7, TN36 or MM25MB. SS bezel is much more durable and practical at the same time. After all, we are no creating a "tactical" class light here

X7R will be including a distance/ proximity sensor as a safety feature. Will be sick if they are able to incorporate such feature in UT03.

Do we really need 500 users for this?
What about paying 5$ more and lower the number to - let’s say 151? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m interested. You can add me to the list

I really wanna see this happen honestly. Solid price for a lot of lumens.

it is probably because of the BLF Q8 for most member either this or Q8 well i am simple person i take both :smiley:
I hope we still get good deal even below 500.

It's manufacturer terms, no much choice for us. This project would get more traction if we could commit at least 350pcs.

In some features concept of this project even more interesting than Q8. Ut03 is smaller, brighter. But large work is needed.

What is known about the driver? Is there some photos?

Let me ask if XHP70.2 is doable.

that would be perfect.

It has that ugly yellow corona, though.

That’s the prize I am willing to pay for no donut hole and better performance.

What is the idea of the proximity sensor? Is that just a safety feature in case it gets set down while on a high mode? I could honestly do without that myself, but I’ve never seen it before in other lights.

XHP70 has more of the doughnut hole correct? The 70.2 fixes that but it has an inconsistent beam? I don’t actually know what I’m talking about. My only preferences on this thing would be something more neutral white, but I’m interested in the light either way. Still a great deal on a light that puts out around 10k lumens.

Here you can see the donut-hole of my JKK36 with the XHP70

The XHP70.2 fixed that but you get a yellowish corona around the hotspot.

I don’t think that you need a proximity sensor on a 10k Lumens light. You will smell it if after a few seconds…

Interested pending price.

It still has the donut hole. I tried a xhp50.2 in my L6 with SMO reflector and got a noticable donut hole. I’m sure the 70.2 will be the same. I’ll be trying it out soon. Maybe it will be a bit less noticable? You have to find a good compromise between sharp focus (and a donut hole) or a less focused, but nicer looking beam.

You’d getter higher output if the light used a fet driver, but this one doesn’t. Are you planning to swap a fet driver in?

Do you mean better performance as in the higher forward voltage of the 70.2 allows for better efficiency at the same output the xhp70?

I like better runtimes, but it’s not high on my priority list when it comes to a light like this.
