Haikelite HK04 groupbuy is ALIVE

I will vote for SST40. Look, it has a balance between thrower and flood also less heat.

Yet if I do recall, both xpl hi and xhp50.2 draw huge amount of current compare to sst40. I dont know you guys know relationship between current and heat.

Voted SST40

Warm is better. Noticed the trit slots. I’m sure Lexel will have an aux board eventually. It’s gonna be blingy!

If the price is right, interested in the XHP50.2 version.

I voted for SSt40

Voted for 1 XPL-HI and 2 SST-40

Did anyone already order one from Aliexpress? Looking forward to the reviews.

SST40 maybe green at lower levels.

I haven’t seen 3v xhp 50.2s come in anything other than 5700k and 6500k. Unless they’re using a boost circuit, that’s all you’re going to get unless they’re actually going for 3 cells in series which seems unlikely with USB charging. It’ll likely be 3P without a boost circuit and we’ll get 6500k

Looks like they missed the mark on this one. As others have mentioned, building this light with with either 4 x 18650 or 3 x 21700 makes a lot more sense.

I actually like 3x18650, easier to handle to use for daily activities than 4x or 3x 21700. D18 and ROT66 are like this and are a good balance of power and portability.
So no, don’t think they missed the mark.

I like both the ROT66 and Q8 size. I’d be curious to try a 3x21700 or 4x21700.

I can shove a Q8 in my empty pocket for a little while when needed, but a ROT66 is much easier. A lot has to do with the head size- the MF01 is too big for a pocket for me.

I’m interested in Anduril, a max lumen option in 5k, and having someone check out the charging circuit/components.

…Maybe charging is not as important on a light like this? Is charging usually important for gifts? And will people avoid giving Haikelite, like EC01 & MF01 mini, due to support & reliability? Just a thought.

USB charging (preferably Type-C) is super important for gifts. That’s why I recently bought some SP36.

Voted for XHP50.2

Xhp50.2 at 5000K or 40000k.
And the option of 21700 is something great if they do it.

This look like a potentially better, practical and much prettier version of sofirn sp36. I thing there is a lot of potential in this light. Will it have boost driver?

I voted for the XPL but it would depend on beamshots of the 3 variants.

This is one of the few lights that could really benefit from this cell: Sony / Murata US18650VTC6 3000mAh - 30A - 18650 - Li-ion - Rechargeable batteries | NKON
