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.
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.
I’ll be surprised if the numbers are anywhere near what they are claiming and the price! Can’t wait to see the actual numbers when the light is tested.
I don't understand the above critiques on the throw. Let me explain:
a 100 mm head light easily did 700+ kcd on old dedomed XP-G2's (my BOSS1 as a good example)
triples in the same overall dimensions usually do slightly less than a single
SBT90.2's driven well should easily out perform old dedomed XP-G2's
so 750 kcd real world from a triple SBT90.2 driven well with overall 100 mm head diam should be quite do-able, suspect 800 kcd or so if it were a single SBT90.2
freeme -
is the UI a total unknown at this point?
I would suggest fixing the OP specs: 750 kcd, 1732 meters -- this would match Neal's listing
I had some Emails to Martin (M4DM4X). He told me, that Neal has Anduril on the HK90.
I had also private messages to Toykeeper. She told me, that she never had worked with Haikelite for HK90. Hope I´m allowed to post this here.
So I´m not sure, what UI HK90 has. I hope HK90 has anduril, maybe “only” a ramping UI…
Thanks Tom. I haven’t had anything relevant to add to the forum for a while now. So I turned into
a lurker. Just decided which new light to purchase these days.
