Yea i think the x7r has 4 x samsung 30q 3000mah or something, really stupid u cant even take it out to buy extras if u need that, for the x9 u will able take it out which is good. thats why i didnt buy the x7r for the sealed battery because overtime u gonna need replace those and then u need send in the whole light to olight which is a hazzle…
Olight posted an unboxing video of this now.
I’ve got a newsletter from Olight.us today, saying that you can buy the light at only $150.00,if and only if you purchase it on June 8th. 
not quite,
Save $150 if you purchase June 8th! The X9R flashlight is equipped with six Cree XHP70.2 LED and is powered by a rechargeable battery pack combining eight high discharge rate 18650 batteries.

Μea culpa,I didn’t see well. 
Well the MSRP is 600$ so… 150$ is not gonna happen 
why not? it says so on Olights own website ? why would they lie? even facebook they wrote it…
Well, let’s just hope that Martin provides a nice code to get it for $ 150,00. How about a groupbuy? 
nope
Olight did block all my "sources" in the past...
they offer 150 discount (20% off) from the 600 USD price (being 450 then)
at the 450.00 “discount” it is still 580.00 CDN. I can’t imagine how much the proprietary battery pack will cost. Way out of my price range
I would guess 150$ or so for the extra battery pack…
No way. Two reasons. One, proprietary battery pack and two, I like sleeping in my own bed. Maybe a year or so and I can pick up a used one somewhere.
@M4DM4X, why would they block your lower priced sources?
I find it strange.
This is probably the most high tech flashlight out there and definitely premium quality. But given the X70 has 15k lumens more and active cooling, I would still prefer the X70 at maybe $200 more. 25k lumens is just not all that amazing anymore.
Found a good youtube review on this light.
And another one.
Sale is now ” live “. The problem will be battery pack. Also there will be step downs in output. No way you can run that for 3-5 plus without burning your hands, etc….
hm i would perhaps but that discount is only for the USA so nope way to treat customers who been looking forward this and they just do a discount for US people… how fair is that? not everyone lives in USA…. without worldwide audience they wouldnt be where they are today.
Of course Olight quality is top,but I see that my DX80 with 32K is perfect, if you understand that I payed only €194.00 for it.Not any problem with it.
Here that as well… I tried to get them to ship one to me at the discounted price… no go…. but ended up buying it anyway… kinda late for me…
Yes. Any big lights will drop lumen from turn on. ( turbo mode )… i know because i have 25000 lumen light…
There are no heat dissipation problems with this light at all! I did a comparison between the DX80 and x9r and the heatsinking ability of the Olight is incredible… I felt no heat whatsoever on the handle or up above the DX80 is a whole different story
