HaikeLite XHP70 Thrower Prototype Sneak Preview

The UI looks similar to the Olights with two switch improvements, which is great. Can’t wait to see what this thing can do.

I’ll PM my address to you

Thanks, I completely missed that when I first read it.

Have you tried to make a Shaved Dome to the XHP70? Should be a really nice thing to ~ double the intensity.
6,5 Amp drained from 4S battery or to the Led ?

With what and how they will be covered the control buttons? I hope it is not a glued plate

I’ll be watching this. I’d like an XHP70 and might like to see a choice of SMO and OP reflectors. I don’t hunt white walls. :wink:

If you are still picking emitters I can say without a doubt that if you want to appeal to BLF, try to get your hands on a nice neutral/warm (something in the ~4500k range like the 219’s) HIGH CRI LED.

Either XHP35 or XHP70, they are both offered in High CRI. Throwers in particular lend themselves very well to warmer tints IMHO and high CRI is always good.

Other then that ditto the rest, options are very good. I could very well end up with both an XHP35 and XHP70 version if the price is right.

Hello HaikeLite,

Not only do I agree with Mr. Ace, this seems to be the current trend as well. Manker is offering models with High CRI neutral white Nichia models, as well as Lumintop with the Tool Ti/Cu, Worm Cu and IYP365 models. Even mainstream Nitecore is offering the new TIP with these emitters… High CRI XHP70 would appeal to many here I think as well…

Specs looks good, amps to the LED, shelf thickness, DTP board are being mentioned which means you guys know your stuff. I’m curious about if you have made other flashlights before, maybe under another brand?

If you go with XHP-70, make sure to use the highest bin, and price it sensibly so it can compete with the Convoy L6.

If you go with XHP35 HI, target at least 450kcd because you’ll have two strong competitors from acebeam and trunite.

Hi start90a

What do you mean by Shaved Dome?

6.5A drain to the Led.
Battery is 2S2P.

Thanks

Metal plate with screws to cover the transparent button tight. Waterproof IPX8

SMO will be an option.

This is shaving a dome, at 1 minute 10 seconds. Basically, you’re creating your own High Intensity version: slightly less lumens, but more lux.

Thanks for sharing this.

XHP70 shaving…. IF you choose to shave the dome, make absolutely sure the surface you shave and any and all debri are clean clear or else you will have burn down, (debri) which will burn the emitter surface and smoke the reflector, causing a cloudy effect or possible emitter failure! I would leave it up to the end user to perform this at his or her want or need!

Ditto, it is a simple mod for those that want it.

I hope turbo on this light can be memorized for quick access one click turbo.
Since this dont seem like it will compete with the tn42 or the k70, I would think this light would be better with xhp70 thrower.
More lumens than those other two!

High CRI helps more than extra lumens to see details in what you are looking at.
Once you’ve tried high CRI, you will never go back to low CRI.

that light looks so cool - 680g is not bad for the size

This too looks very interesting
and I forgot: welcome to BLF!
I think it is very cool you engage with us and show not even finished lights. Also SMO reflectors siilnce that is the Nr 2 question for a XHP light here so it seems.
Yeah you made a heck of an entry, very cool to see this! Thanks.
