HaikeLite Preview for MINI Triple-XHP70 prototypes--Discussion thread

It is HaikeLite’s longer light with the rectangular double button switch.

Nice looking prototype, but IMO it needs a higher turbo, at least 10,000lm. Doesn’t matter if it drops down in one minute. Also I would like to see deeper reflectors so it’s not limited to a pure flooder…

How did I miss that other thread :person_facepalming: Thanks for posting it for me

I think you need to have your light different than all others…… And that’s to not have hidden turbo. You should change your ui so that turbo can be memorized also. So that turbo can turbo can turn on with a single click.
You can keep double click to turbo.
This would really differ you from all other high output lights out there!

10 000lm for such a small-size light is too hot. It gets really hot in 1-2 minutes.

Deeper reflector will increase the size, 130mm is very handy.

Got your points. One-click to turbo seems like a good idea.

The flashlight drivers are already in stock, So UI can not be changed in this batch. High mode-2000+lumens is a nice daily-use mode.

I myself prefer the pure flood as it is more useful for me. I would rather be able to see a large area immediately in front of me than a small area several hundred yards away.

Please let us know when and if your company does decide to have one click turbo.

How many people want one-click-turbo?

Maybe a vote?

Well i personally agree with all the choices you made. Small, 4x18650, ultra bright, shortcut to moonlight and turbo.

Why do you need to be able to one click to turbo? Just double click?

For normal uses 2000 lumens is what you would need. I wouldnt want to be flashed with 8000 lumens accidently.

I prefer double clicks for turbo so you dont accidentally put on turbo in bed :stuck_out_tongue:

double click turbo!

I prefer double click turbo as well. I’m only interested in single click turbo (or maximum) if that light output can be maintained continuously without stepping down/light getting too hot to handle.

Double click for turbo too

I’d be your Guinea Pig. Wow ! Any hosts going to be available?

Ditto.

Double click for “extra” brightness always made sense to me.

A selectable UI may be interesting. One UI with and another UI without single click turbo. More lights these days have selectable UI. Maybe interesting for HaikeLite in the near future?

I agree with that :wink:

Double click for turbo is good with me. I like to have access to moonlight and turbo from off so how it is now is fine.

I feel The UI is getting better with single click ON, single click OFF being a priority.

But As I've been doing for a couple years, now, I prefer single click to go to next mode, press&hold for previous mode. If you lock in to a mode for a minimum time, then the next single click turns the light OFF. So, you get single click ON and OFF, plus single click to go to next mode - this is what I prefer, as I've implemented and been using in e-switch firmware for a couple years now, migrated into Narsil. A double click or press&hold from OFF could go to turbo, but the UI is more consistent using press&hold from OFF to go to turbo, because it's the previous mode from OFF - it's consistent. Double clicks will interfere with fast single clicks, so you have to be careful with combining double click and single click operations.

This is all based on the original "Werner UI", but I added the twist of timing out a "lock in", so you can easily turn the light OFF via a single click from any mode.

So to summarize:

  • From OFF, single click to lowest mode (moon), press&hold to turbo
  • From ON state, single click to next mode, unless you are locked in to a mode, then single click turns the light OFF
  • From ON state, press&hold goes to previous mode
