Haikelite HK04 groupbuy is ALIVE

hm not better using 21700 ? since its bigger then q8 makes no sense using just 3 18650…

Looks more like a competitor to Sofirns SP36 to me. Hope price is also in same range. And vote for 4000/5000k.

Xph50.2 and would prefer 21700’s.

Maybe 4 CREE XHP50.2 ~15000LM pending price

Yes, it would ideally be 4*XHP50.2 (4000K Hi-CRI?) and 3*21700

Voted for SST40 and prefer 3x21700

Voted for SST-40

I will vote for SST40. Look, it has a balance between thrower and flood also less heat.

Yet if I do recall, both xpl hi and xhp50.2 draw huge amount of current compare to sst40. I dont know you guys know relationship between current and heat.

Voted SST40

Warm is better. Noticed the trit slots. I’m sure Lexel will have an aux board eventually. It’s gonna be blingy!

If the price is right, interested in the XHP50.2 version.

I voted for SSt40

Voted for 1 XPL-HI and 2 SST-40

Did anyone already order one from Aliexpress? Looking forward to the reviews.

SST40 maybe green at lower levels.

I haven’t seen 3v xhp 50.2s come in anything other than 5700k and 6500k. Unless they’re using a boost circuit, that’s all you’re going to get unless they’re actually going for 3 cells in series which seems unlikely with USB charging. It’ll likely be 3P without a boost circuit and we’ll get 6500k

Looks like they missed the mark on this one. As others have mentioned, building this light with with either 4 x 18650 or 3 x 21700 makes a lot more sense.

I actually like 3x18650, easier to handle to use for daily activities than 4x or 3x 21700. D18 and ROT66 are like this and are a good balance of power and portability.
So no, don’t think they missed the mark.

I like both the ROT66 and Q8 size. I’d be curious to try a 3x21700 or 4x21700.

I can shove a Q8 in my empty pocket for a little while when needed, but a ROT66 is much easier. A lot has to do with the head size- the MF01 is too big for a pocket for me.

I’m interested in Anduril, a max lumen option in 5k, and having someone check out the charging circuit/components.

…Maybe charging is not as important on a light like this? Is charging usually important for gifts? And will people avoid giving Haikelite, like EC01 & MF01 mini, due to support & reliability? Just a thought.

USB charging (preferably Type-C) is super important for gifts. That’s why I recently bought some SP36.
