Olight X9 @ 25k Lumen

Μea culpa,I didn’t see well. :frowning:

Well the MSRP is 600$ so… 150$ is not gonna happen :expressionless:

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? :stuck_out_tongue:

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 :frowning: 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. :slight_smile:

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

wow good to hear, they have been saying that it should run suprisingly cool on highest even after those 3 min and this without active cooling.

This is what worries me. Where is the heat going? I guess we will find out as more reviews are done.

JasonWW do u think it can be a problem that the light would somehow keep too much heat inside then it lets out? U sound worried hehe… all i know they took forever design that light without the fan but like u said they cant go above laws of physics lol…

someone should send u a review unit!

It’s quite possible it’s throttling down instead of holding full power or maybe it’s producing well less than the rated specs. This is usually the case when a light does not get hot.

Being Olight, I hope this is not the case. They may just have a lot of heatsink mass so it takes longer to get hot and then the thermal sensors reduce output early to prevent the exterior from getting too hot.

They might be able to increase the turbo run time by raising the thermal limit. Get an extra 30 seconds before stepping down. Some folks might want that.

Anyway, we’ll just have to wait for some reviews to see what it’s doing.
