[♛ FreemeGB-NOV] Haikelite HT70 4*SST70 6500k 17000 lumens 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE!

No worries, I will not ask a Third time.

One thing I have learned in the short time I have been on here.USA dealers are Superb to China dealers in terms of responsiveness and overall customer service.

I will not debate this nor defend this.

It has been my experience.

Banggood told me at least another month for NW.

So I decided to get CW.

Coupon code no longer valid. [Expired]

I would think everyone has the same code. Whether you try to get CW now or NW later, we need another code.

Recently, I contacted Haikelite at their store on Aliexpress and asked if they already have the SST70 5000K leds.

The answer I got:

Is it possible that Luminus will not give out the SST70 in 5000K?

Sure it is possible. They are making the light and are most likely more credible than Banggood and the information that we have gotten on here.

I am waiting[and I am sure others are to] for a: NEW VALID COUPON CODE. ORIGINAL EXPIRED.

Myself and others have been Waiting for NW and in the mean time the code Expires. I asked OP if the code would be good when NW is available? I posed the question in post # 53. NO Response. Now the code is Expired for any tint!

FREEME NEW COUPON CODE PLEASE

Although this is google translation.[I was only 7 years old and do not remember the exact German words.]

Like my German Grandmother told me over 57 years ago, " Sie Konnen sich nur auf sich selbst verlassen!"

"You can not depend on anyone but yourself!"

The OP appears to have lost total interest in this thread[Last Post on December 23rd], since then the results are the Code has EXPIRED and there are several unanswered questions, Not just by me.

I took the initiative and went to the source and got my own personal coupon code.

I have ZERO interest in participating in any of his future group buys.

Guten Tag .....Schonen tag :D

its HL, they are known to dissapoint sadly, i learned my hard lesson after mt09r disaster…

What??

What does Haikelite have to do with the OP who is responsible for the group buy, for responding, updating code ect.?

I briefly told Banggood what happened on this thread in terms Coupon Code expiring and not getting any response or help from OP.

In less than 24 hours Banggood gave me a new coupon code.I was impressed with their expediency.

In addition I contacted Martin, M4D M4X. He also responded quickly and gave me a slightly better coupon code than Bang good. :+1:

I’m interested for this one

I clarified with Haikelite when the NW SST70 5000K will arrive. When they previously wrote they will be available only years later, they wanted to say that they come after the Chinese New Year.

Oh well, Lol! I believed your First quote from them and ordered CW yesterday.

Maybe a language barrier with the confusion? We will see if that date of NW comes to fruition.

Sorry, I didn’t want to mislead you. I quoted the exact words in their message. Maybe if they are in a hurry they don’t write accurately. The second answer was much more precise.

It could as well be April until they manage to give out the new light.

No worries. It is not your fault. You were the messenger.

alright, giving in, put me on the list please. Interested!

Mine finally arrived. Yesterday.
After he managed to get out of the “whirlpools” of the Chinese bureaucracy in which he fell more than once …

Now I realize that I don’t have batteries in line to feed it in sufficient quantity.
I have only 4 VTC6.
The best in sufficient quantity are NCR-G.
Take the test … Amazing!
The CW dye, which is supposedly 6500K, is very good.
I would say it is less than 6000K.
Very happy with the purchase.
Thanks!!!

P.D .: It is interesting to see the tour of my HT70 (the only thing in the parcel).

^wow :open_mouth:

Does SST70 also have “yellow-greenish” tint at lower brightness levels (eg. SST40 and SST20 have it in various degrees).

If the SST70 is composed of 4 SST20 dies it should be green at lower levels. I have a 6500K dedomed and it is slightly green on all levels.

There may be some less green tints below bbl later.

Looks like they did not have enough solder paste,flashback from my TN32 where the LED burnt. Thrunite/Illumns took care of me immediately.

Just got it today.Did not even use 2 minutes and I notice smoke under the lens! One of the LEDS burnt.

I EXPECT a Full refund for a DEFECTIVE product. If not, PAYPAL dispute!

Notice Residue on LENS from smoke/chemicals.Defective/burnt LED is top left side.

Better pics. Chemical film has dissipated from inside of lens.

That’s a bummer, man.
What was the situation, like 2 minutes on Turbo?
Using 8 strong cells or fewer?
Did the head get hot or maybe the heat path from the mcpcb is not so good?
Have you looked around the mcpcb to look for signs of thermal paste or have you decided to not open it up?
