You are quite right, now i have 2 more to consider. I seriously need to win the lottery….lol.
Beam0 thank you so much for all the info. I think the Imalent might end up being the one i get. I find anymore i prefer to use headlights so i can be hands free. I’m glad they are finally pushing headlights along like they did some of the multi emitter lights.
i like the tint on the wizard pro (warm), but i don’t know for the olight
edit : i don’t know why the second pic is reversed… oh well
Wow there is quite a difference in those tints. The Wizard Pro also looks like it has a slight bit of a hot spot. In general i prefer a slightly warmer tint though.
maybe in this picture at 6” from the wall, but in everyday task not at all :partying_face:
In the second pic it appears the v2 CRI90 warm was moved to center? And v3 is now to the left << ?
You’re welcome, thanks for starting the thread, it made me rediscover all these options again.
I agree about the Imalent, it checks all my boxes too, except the most important one. As usual when I find a light that has all the best features there’s no neutral option, this continues to happen again and again. If I’m going to have to live with CW I may as well just get the Nitecore HC33 for half the price.
In the Imalent I really like how it has 1500lm & 700lm modes below the turbo, and also the Zebralight type UI with 1-click on/off, plus it’s a bit shorter than the others. If I’d ever see it on a really great deal I’d get it and try an emitter swap.
yes and yes
Perfect agreement with that cold white emitter. I will do a emitter swap and put a 5k neutral white in it. One of my biggest requirements for a right angle light is the magnetic base. There are lots of times when im working on something and find it convenient to stick my light to something. I think one of these days im going to sit down and design and sketch up my perfect headlight. I have a few ideas :).
@Blackdragon1230, perhaps you should do an emitter swap with the Nichia 319A. Very low forward voltage, meaning better efficiency and less heat.

Isn’t that a 3V emitter? He’s replacing an XHP70.2, so maybe he could use the 144AM 90+CRI (6V)?

You suggested the 144AM in a different thread about modding an S2+: s2+ with xhp50.2 h1-a driver - #9 by BlueSwordM
Ohhh, I didnt notice he wanted a 6V emitter in his Skillhunt H03.
How is he going to fit a boost driver in it though? Headlamps are even tighter compared to normal lights.
He was referring to buying the Imalent HR70 (see post#26 above)
If he was referencing to the HR70, then go for it!
The 144AM is absolutely beautiful with an OP reflector.
If I didn’t damage it by mistake, then I would have posted some beamshots already.
Although I’m planning a future XHP mod for my defective Skilhunt H03, when the 17mm boost drivers become available, hoping for it to fit

How did you damage it?
Well, while I was doing some white wall beamshots, I bumped the light, made it fall off the table, and boom!, the light shut off.
The reflector was damaged in stock form. I requested one from Haikelite, and it is on the way.
I haven’t had the time to fix it, nor the equipment to fix the driver if it is broken.
I see, thought you meant you damaged the emitter itself.
No, the emitter is fine. If I had damaged the emitter, I would’ve just swapped it for another one using the new hot plate I should receive this week.
Hmmm…. XHP50 into an H03 would be cool.
