Haikelite SC26 *** CLOSED For U.S.A. and Canadian Customers only*** Haikelite cut me off at 100 units so GB is closed.

I would like to see the prototype, but I am leaning twords this instead of d4, i read a lot of issues with the guy Neal that is selling them, and as someone else said it’s more of a show off light, if it cannot sustain a good amount of light for more than a few seconds it may not make a practical edc for me. I would like to see the sand color of you have a picture

Like the MT09 XHP35 we never got to see. I want to see this before buying.

I posted some video shots of the the 35 high. It is a sample and the driver is not pushing the light up to the 7000 lumen, it is running at aound 3200 to 3800 lumen but still very impressive.

The final version will have a drier that is set up to push out 7k lumen and will be even more impressive, Here is a URL ti see the video footage. https://youtu.be/h3ISPnuvbqI

Hard to tell in that video. Plus it was posted 7 days after the GB was over

What is hard to tell in that video... That video is in Full HD and you can easily see that at 300 yards that is child's play for it.

And the reason that you did not get to see it prior to the end of the Group Buy is that the prototype that Dale shipped to me is still MIA with DHL and I chose to be sure that all members ordering the lights were shipped theirs before sending out my shipment.

My shipment should be here hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week.

I will of course make plenty of video footage of the 35 high once it arrives and you can still place an order once you have had a chance to see the beam shots in the video. And shipping will be much faster as well.

Wish I could help more but until they arrive there is little I can do...

Thanks very mcuh

This is just FYI...

it is going to be probably 7 or 8 more days before I get the prototype of the SC26. It was supposed to have shipped out with and order that I have on the way here now but they wanted to do some further testing before sending it out to me.

I have another much larger order that will be shipping out before the end of the month, probably sometime by the end of next week. Even with the Holiday going to Dale has arranged for couple of guys to return to the factory just to pack and ship my order and the SC26 will be included in that order.

I am thinking of extending the pre-sale maybe an extra week ti give everyone the chance to see the light working. It would be more fair to do that and still allow them the pre-sale price rather than close the pre-sale and they pay almost full retail after getting to see the SC26 in action.

All of the lights will be shipped to me when it is time and I will be shipping them out from my warehouse so it should not hold up how long it takes anyone to get their light. I can just tell Dale to do all of them as one large order and I ill order my stock to keep on hand along with it.

Shipped from my warehouse anyone here in the Continental U.S. should get their light (lights) in 3 to 5 days tops.

Thanks for the heads up and for extending the pre-sale. It’s refreshing to have such an up-front retailer in this day and age.

Thank you very much.. I just try to treat people the way I would like to be treated... it really is very simple...

To e it seems only fair if the prototype is going to arrive late the I should allow enough time for you guys to have a chance to see it in action and then decide.

it wold be kind of unfair for ,e to raise the price back to retail and only show the prototype after the price goes back up... That is just not at all my style...

I am going to order a fatty later today, sounds like a cool light. I am very interested in the MT09R, but I really NEED to see throw numbers. I would imagine that the 35 HI would throw pretty well, but I need the lux number before I can pull the trigger on this one.

I totally understand and my 35 high version shipment is still one the way. So that should would work out well. I will get the shipment and then can post the numbers from my own testing. If all meets with what you like then it will be available to order right away.

Ordered an SC26 last night!
Thanks for gettig shipping to Canada Terry

You are very welcome. I wanted it when the offer was presented to me for the U.S. sales but there is a ton of paperwork with exporting.

I got lucky and got great sales agent from USPS that was willing to walk me though everything step by step. As the number of monthly shipments per month get higher the rates will get lower so maybe (no promises on this) in 6 months or so I will be shipping enough orders per month that my discount will be well enough to make shipping to Canada fee, except for small much less expensive items.

For now I got the least expensive rate I was allowed and I am just super glad to be able to include Canada.

Thanks for the order.

Just ordered one in navy, thanks for shipping to Canada. I just wish our dollar was in better shape. :slight_smile:

Just got my batteries for the SC26, love the new pics you posted!

Yeah it looks really good and very small... I think it is going to be a great EDC...

Nice new pictures!

When you get your prototype, could you measure the inside diameter? Could you ask Dale to measure it?

I’d like to use this with the Shockli 26650 IMR 5500 mAh cell which measures 26.7mm in diameter. I want to make certain it will fit before ordering.

I will ask him when I talk to him next...

I held back from buying this same battery for the same reasons. Thanks for asking! :smiley:

Just ordered a Black in NW. Hey, i am just up the road about an hour away in Hendersonville, NC

Will this light be easily modifiable?

2x26350’s with a XHP-50 or XHP-70?

4 days left to order?

Are you ever going to get your sample?

Thank you
