What do you mean? you don’t like the way in which you click through modes on the X7R?
About price per lumen
Recently many brands have broken the record
Like astrolux mf-01, which is about 12000 lumen/78$, which is about 153 lumen per dollars
Crazy, right 
What’s really crazy is how few seconds you can actually get that light output for.

Exactly. You can’t turn it on to the brightest level. You have to double click, pause, then double click again to get to turbo 2. It’s like a safety nanny. They won’t let the 2 higher levels be memorized. That does not work for me.
I would much prefer an MT03 or MF01. They work better stock. The work super great when upgraded with NarsilM FET drivers. Even upgraded, it’s still cheaper than the X7R.
What will better for MF01 if we upgrade this way?
Are you asking about the upgrade I mentioned?
Lexel makes new drivers using the ramping firmware NarsilM. It’s a FET driver so you get more output on turbo. The user interface is really nice. It’s ramping so you can set it at whatever level you want including being able to memorize the brightest level. You can set the turbo timer to what you want or set it to a user defined temperature. You’ve got battery check where it blinks out the battery voltage. I’m a big fan of it.
you should calculate sustaind lumens per €
what brings a 12k Lumen light after 5 Minutes, to hot to hold without gloves and stepped down to 2-3k
Only certain people need sustained lumens. I’m not one of them.
It’s pretty easy to judge sustained lumens just by looking at the size of the light and it’s heatsink area.
The general rule of thumb is if it’s not huge or has a built in fan, then don’t expect more than 2k to 3k lumen sustained.
Should we do Cri per dollar too
I hope this hasn’t been post yet. New movie about Olight X9R With Active Cooling
I would definitely want the option to attach a solid handle for such a big light.
Not me. I would prefer a sling to carry it.
Using a sling makes it not only easier to carry - especially for a prolonged period - but you can put the light away and have both hands free without the necessity
to put the light down somewhere.
It’s a fantastic looking light though, makes me drool…………but I’m afraid it will cost a small fortune.

The X9R actually does NOT have active cooling. The X9 prototype had a fan, but they abandoned that design and went with basic cooling fins.
I thought the MT03 already has a ramping driver with memory.
No, only the new mt09r has ramping, but it’s nowhere near as good as Narsil.
The early MT03 had xhp70 and a constant current driver with 9,000 lumen.
The newer mt03 has 70.2, a FET driver and 12,000 lumen.
Both are the regular low, medium, high, etc… style UI.
Olight posted a new video now so guess a release is to be expected soon…
About time :+1: Cool video too!
There’s the reason of their high prices. All that testing equipment. Lol
Agree… I had a stock mt09r ramping mode is like a grasshopper. TA installed narsil v1.3 and ramping is smooth like a butter.
25k lumen thrower seems like
