✌ FREEME - Haikelite HK90 3*Luminus SBT90.2 High Lumens 3*21700 Flashlight - ALIVE

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.

It should be lower.

Also the price

Regards Xandre

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.

Interested.

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 am interested.

Hello,
have I missed the post, or is the price still not yet fixed for this groupbuy.

Will this HK90 be shipped directly form Haikelite or from another sender e.g. Neal?

Interested in one colour sand.
Thanks.

Hah Richie086, glad to see you here!

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…

Plop and drop of anduril ui is pretty common

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.

freeme posted the Anduril UI and HK user manual at another location: werforums.com/vb/showthread.php?470067-%E2%99%9B-Group-Buy-Haikelite-HK90-3*Luminus-SBT90-2-High-Lumens-3*21700-Flashlight&p=5414548#post5414548

link doesn't work for me? werforums doesn't show up in google search?

I think this link is the right one.

Yep, I see - preferential treatment to CPF .

Shame if it's an old Anduril version from 2019. Early 2020 she made significant improvements to the thermal regulation, for one thing. I'm actually modding with using Anduril2 with has other improvements like voltage calibration, but it's still in on-going development.

Would be interested in hearing more from HK on this. According to TK, HK doesn't contact her. The way I understand it, they don't have her approval because they never asked for it - they just don't communicate to her, or me for that matter. I don't know details here - could be other issues...
