I was actually going to ask the same question. It actually says 75kcd, but I assume that would be a typo.
And as you just pointed out, 2000 meters is actually 1 Mcd
Interested, PM the coupon with link please.

I have not received your code, so I sent you a PM.
It looks like this light throws 70% more or twice as much as my humble guesstimate. If this is correct, this light, after four years, significantly surpasses the X65 in both lumens and throw, by using a slightly smaller head diameter and 3 x 90.2, instead of 5 x 35.
HK90 throw and lumen specs in its head diameter class make it a must have!
Interested. Can I get a code too please?
Do you really trust the stated throw and lumen parameters? The throw especially seems too high.
How come it doesn’t state the ui anywhere? Is it anduril?

Interested. Please send me the code too.
Even 750kcd seem excessive considering the size of each of the three reflectors if you take other lights like the Lumintop X9L as a reference.
The msrp is too high and quite frankly the group buy price is not as expected.
My main area of continued interest is the throw specification. I am happy with the amount of lumens that this light probably puts forth, because it is assuredly significantly more than X65, mini or original version. The question is: Real throw spec versus X65 real throw spec?
Head diameter, weight, UI, fuel supply, etc: All groovy for me.
Someone else posted 1732 meters throw. Hmmm. 1732 is George Washington's birth year. (hence 1932 is the first year of the Washington quarter, to commemorate the 200 anniversary of his birth)
And 1.732 is the square root of three, and it is also twice the sine of 60 degrees. And it may possibly be kind of sort of 20% more than what I think this lights' throw spec really is.
X65 Mini (and original) is 11,000 and 1,600 real specs.
Lumens: If this is kind of like sorta in a way 1500 lumens, then I will view this light as X65 but with significantly more lumens and also, as yet undetermined to what degree, similar throw.
I'll take one for starters. PM sent to freeme.

I like math, history, numismatics, and arts, sciences and humanities, too.
I am interesed!
Got it, thanks.
I was hopping for a more affordable price, but i understand this is serious stuff here.
I’ll certainly wait and see what the early adopters report.
Interested depending on the price. Could I get the coupon?
It should be lower.
I’m actually a collector of Haikelite lights, well at least 3, the HK04, MT09R, and SC04. While the HK04 and MT09R are well-constructed and robust, the SC04 is especially dissapointing because the UI doesn’t work right at all - too slow to ramp up and then instantly at turbo. Not to mention the flower-petal beam was ugly even w/ SST20 4000ks. I’ll wait and see some reviews about this light, because the price point is so up there, also having recently bought a GT4, and thinking of buying the FF5.
Pre-ordered, code applied successfully. 3rd pre order. Expected ship Sept 8 -> 18. Shipping time: 10 ->15 business days. Ship from China, air parcel.

Also the price

I afraid there is no margin for further discount from what HKL is offering ... 
HKL could have used this opportunity to regain brand confidence and supporters.
