ENEDED

HD is more floody as in having wider but dimmer hotspot. Flood angle is basically the same.

Thanks Agro

Bought: *1x Blue HD version.
Thanks for the huge discount Freeme!*

I think my two have been passed around the LA post office for the last three days… It’s been 4 hrs away for the past three days! C’mon this is torture.

could i get code Freeme? asked earlier but never received 1 thanks

thx Freeme for code, purchased blue colored 1.

Got my green one. Roll on darkness. Like the UI.

I wish we could have seen some beamshots - and a review or two by the way.
I’m expecting both HD NW and HI CW…

…and 4xLiitokala 26650 50A (cyan) - with the recently acquired Ultrafire DV-S9, Eagle Eye X7R and Lumintop ODF30 i’ve seriously dented my 26650 stash… Not mentioning the coming Emisar D4S.

I’ll report back when i have them in hand. :wink:

So how do you guys like your sc26? I love mine… compact 26650, nice beam, most 26650 protected or unprotected fits well, turbo mode can be memorized, constant lumen 2.5 v- 4.2v, and great price…

Xhp35 HD NW

maybe someone can try some DC Fix on their HD?

Received my NW HD “little fatty” today, it’s just as described - a real pocket rocket. Really liking it.

Even willing to overlook the slight QC flaws with reflector. Came with spots as if someone splashed chemicals and/or didn’t rinse after cleaning. Not really noticeable in use.

I just looked at the tracking on my 2 lights and they are now in the U.S. and out of customs, and now en route to me. Looks like I’ll be joining the club this week!

That’s good to hear man vinte77. Finally, we’ve been waiting for quite some time now haven’t we? The light is really nice, I have the green NW HI. Performance is also really good and everything is working just fine. Haikelite did it man! :smiley: :beer:

Well, this is how the lens looks like on my NW Hi. I guess I have to unscrew the bezel in order to clean it from the inner side.

However, you won’t see these impurities when looking straight into the reflector. I still don’t understand why Haikelite used an OP reflector for a dedomed XHP35 Hi LED. It does not make sense for a dedomed LED needs an SMO reflector to achieve the best intensity of the spot. Anyway, the reflector diameter is too small to make the SC26 a real thrower.

My NW Hi has got some minor spots in the blue anodization…nothing serious but still noticeable. The light however works fine and I’m satisfied with it. Thanks for the groupbuy opportunity Freeme! :slight_smile:

You’re telling me hIKARInoob! It’ll all be worth it once I get the lights in my hands. I hope members of the first GB weren’t shy to join this GB. I know there were plenty that joined but it’s a shame to let all that drama go to waste and not have something positive to show for it.

The picture in the first post shows what appears to be a smooth reflector… I thought the same thing when I opened mine up today (1 HD and 1 HI, both NW) It definitely demonstrates the difference between the HD and HI, all other things being equal. I still like both lights and will keep them. The green and the blue are very nice colors.

Hi flashtom, will you able to get the lumen reading on the sc26 ?

I think both of my sc26 are flawless… what do you guys think?

Yeah, I was, so I got one anyway thinking it was likely a mistake, but I am reasonably happy - just wish they had done a better job with ramping since they had all that extra time and help from TA.

+1 what Vinte77 and shirnask said.

Other than a little angst while awaiting for PP Protection to refund, I’m satisfied with final outcome.

Thanks to FreemeGB, Banggood and Haikelite for making these available at the pre-order price and with the higher components.

I wish I could but I do not have the proper equipment here. Sorry. :person_facepalming:
