Interesting light. Performance is amazing for the head size. Just wish it was shorter (4 cells) and a bit lighter. You can send me a coupon but I’m not sure if I’m gna buy it. Do you know how long the 11:11 GB offer will last?
Unprotected button top battery preferred. Haikelite recommends Samsung 30Q grade on their site for this light.
Ok,Thank you.
Four more important questions to answer.
1. What is the UI?
2. What are the other mode groups output?
3. When is Neutral white available? It is Not an option on Banggoods site.
4. Is this the Only form of step down? “Built-in advanced intelligent temperature control settings, can automatically adjust the brightness according to the working state of the flashlight and the outside temperature”.
Thanks. I am sure others would also appreciate the answers. I am just the one posing them!
The beam distance[stats] on the Mateminco MT70 PLUS[1549 Meters] and the the beam distance on the Haiklite HT70[1500M] are basically the same. Yet the Mateminco MT70 Plus appears to have a much more intense beam and lights that building up a lot more. Makes me wonder.
I would say a bit over rated on throw. However my location and eyes don’t need or see illuminate targets that far. It’s got plenty of output in a cone I can use with useful spill.
This light is probably not a record breaker in numbers (no throw monster, no lumen monster), but is just an amazing light that throws exceptionally well, while having a ton of lumens in the spill resulting in a very pleasant flashlight experience.
Would you agree that the big building is suppose to be 650m? If that is the case, in my opinion it is more than a bit over rated. My modded M2X is 250Kcd. It would have a more intense center beam on that building than this light.
Everything is speculation and opinion until you or any of these other guys have one in hand to measure. By what I see I would be shocked if it was more than 350Kcd/1183m/1300yards.
Definitely can’t read Chinese. Lol. An 85mm head with four of these LEDs just won’t do 560kcd. Also someone in the other thread said the intensity is 90% of the X65 mini which is rated 492000. This means it should be 443000. I’ve also read that the meter he was using which is a UT383 is more sensitive to cooler light so it might be a bit less than that. I think it’ll probably be 1.35km at max. I hope I’m wrong but I just can’t see it hitting the claimed 1.5km.
Does everyone understand that the battery tube is 2S4P? These are 6v leds so you can run 2 cells in series, 4 cells in series, 6 cells in series or 8 cells in series. The more cells you use the less load on each cell.
It does not use a battery carrier so you have to use button top cells. Kind of like the Q8 battery design, just twice as long.
We don’t know what driver it has but looking at the video above, we can see that it ramps up too High and then a double click to Turbo. This is reminiscent of NarsilM. There’s a good chance they simply adapted the MT09R driver over to this light since they already have it made and it can handle that much power. I don’t know for sure though, they could have always built a new driver from scratch in order to save money.
I checked with Texas_Ace and he confirmed that he had no involvement in this light.
As I write this it seems this light was removed from the Taobao website.
If the claimed output is 17000 lumen that equates to 4250 lumen each. According to Djozzs test the leds barely put out 4400 and that is without any optical losses.
In a flashlight where you can expect a 25–30 loss, let’s be generous and say 25%, you get 3,300 lumen each. Times 4 would be 13,200 lumen and this is using a FET driver. So they are definitely over rating the output.
This would also be a case where it’s drawing about 8A@8v, so times 4 is 32A@8v or 256 watts! So assuming you loaded up 8 cells, each cell would be putting out 8A on Turbo. I don’t see a reason a high capacity cell wouldn’t work, it may just not give as much output as a high drain cell. If protected cells did fit, it would be borderline if a 7A trip limit would allow for Turbo. If the protected limit is less, like 3A or 5A, Turbo would probably trip the circuit.
