I’m glad to finally hear more about this. This rumored light is why I skipped their first flood monster.
I’m back 
Yes, like you said, the quality of the light and warranty really matters speccialy in high priced lights! The G30 have chronic issue with a short-circuit like was happened to me and Klarus do not made some recall or even replied who emailed the support
So, I almost the bought the DT70 when the preorder in Banggood was avaliable and some voice telled me to wait for review……. SO when the review in taschenlampe comes…… I’M GLAD TO NO BOUGHT THIS
The promisse was amazing, very high output with lage beam which come over a kilometer
Some mistery happened while I’ve sleep, they clam now 800m
I Bought the TN40 and I’m still happy now
Regarding price, Banggood has the DX80 listed for $380, but there is already a coupon discount present on Banggood’s DX80’s page. The discount value is 25%, reducing the price to $285 or 245 Euro.
So this is the starting price with eight batteries included. Well that’s dang nice isn’t it? 
Hmm let’s do a little napkin calculation here, as we would do when starting a new project.
All rough estimates on the little we know 
Housing 10-20
Switch orings little stuff 2-4
LEDs 40-60
Ledboard 10-12
Lens 10-12
Driver 25-40
Strange CPU style cooling 5-10
Fan? 5-7
Cells 20-32
Electronics 4-8
Box 5-10
So between 136 205
We would go for an estimate somewhere in between so it could very well be $175 just to make it.
Of course they want profits, vendors want profits, development and marketing.
So yeah $250/275 seems fair.
Way too much to justify
If it has no active cooling and the stepdown is to a long running 2K or something, I would not want it, we can do better ourselves
U$285= R$900
So, assuming the basic salary here is R$1000, its very cheap 
I remember when you did a rap “wy pay your rent if can spend in imalent?”
Thats real
If I plan on buying and keeping any item for my personal use:
If I can’t afford it, the price is too high, no matter how low the price may be.
If I can afford it, the price is never too high, no matter how high the price may be, if I want to buy and keep the item for my personal use.
People feel comfortable spending money in a particular range. Some people like to spend $1 on a flashlight, others like to spend $10, other people like to spend $100 on a flashlight, others like to spend $1,000.
It is all up to what an individual person likes to spend and is willing and able to pay.
Well, anyway, back to the flashlight itself: I am interested in this item, so I am going to keep my eyes open as to what first takers have to say.
Yes you are right when tell its personal which someone will spend in the light, but when tell about the light is cheap or expensive you are totally wrong….
Like I said, I left the DT70 for the super disapoint specs and quality issues and bought a TN40S which costs much more than imalent, but it was very cheap in comparison…….
I avoided:
*Contemplated with DOA light (a great number of users suffered it)
*Needed to mode to use non proprietary batteries
*Bought a light with liar specs which I will regreat at the first moment I’ve turned on
*Needed to support the huge and fast thermal stepdown
*(Possible) needed to create another thread here to get attention by manufacturer to solve my issue (not guarantee if it will solve or not)
Otherwise, with TN40S mine experience was great:
*Not worried about the big bad history of fails
*I put the batteries wich I want without cares if the light will switch on or not
*The specs are higher than informed
*Have NO frills in turbo mode even in painful hot to hold condition, making possible to cool with water or not care about if was a cold and windy night
Yes, that DX80 if going to same way of DT70 is VERY expensive……
The question here is “what is your money for you?”, for me, I not spend my money in some doubtful product, I wil research and evaluate if this produtc deserves my money!
I did the same.TN40S-TN42-TN36 2017. 
If I understand correctly some people have actually ordered it via M4DM4X
I so hope they will post about it!
yeah got the Mail too, actually the price is good considering you also got 4x18650, but Q8 and BLF GT is so close i am gonna keep my money for that.
Actually you get 8 x 18650 30Q
didnt know DX80 uses 8x18650.
Yes 8 pcs 4S2P same as BLF GT with built-in charging
Is there by any chance are relation between 4S charging… and 32000 lumens? 
Hope I will get chance to discover… :student:
Would love for there to be a smaller version of this that thermal compounds to a copper spacer soldered to the MCPCB. Or just straight to an extra thick mcpcb that sits on a shelf that thermally conducts the body so that it cools off the LEDs as well as the head/handle. The fan/radiator would be integrated into the head aesthetically and it could be modular where it unscrews from the head so you could replace the pump. It could be made stealthy so that you wouldn’t see any pipes and wouldn’t know it was water cooled. That would be amazing, think of the runtimes!
There are ways to do miniaturized water cooling involving small fans and aluminum tubing. Think, high performance cpu cooling.
It would be impossible to retrofit though. The tubing would have to be manufactured structurally into the mounting plate of the LEDs and possibly into the body to save space.
I don’t know what sort of space is used for cooling in the design of the DX80, but I’m guessing it could be accomplished in about an inch of head/body tube space. Would involve a small fan and tiny radiator, and some venting. Natural heat driven fluid circulation.
Would probably drive the price up another $100, though.
Oh well, Gearbest just listed this light as well. With discount code “DX80” they’re selling it for $220 or 190 Euro. Pfff, what a great price… And that’s with 8 pieces of their protected Samsung 30Q batteries…
GB says 8 pcs 18650 not included…
hint hint, next BLF project?
