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...

Very nice chonker. Interested for sure!
Hello,
are there some lights shipped yet?
Seems, that they are still not yet in stock.
I´ve not bought here in Groupbuy.
Thanks.
Another question.
Are cells with very high drain and bypassed Springs also maybe cause damages, like in other flashlights with DD Driver.
I know. that Anduril is regulated wide range, but Turbo will be direct drive.
Are someone here who plans to “Dedome” the LEDs 
? (Remove the Window of LEDs)?
Thanks.
If.... if Banggood sold only three of these, will the three flashlights be shipped to Banggood, or will there be no shipment from the factory to BG, because the number sold by BG is too low?
Lots of daily activity on the German forum, speculating about when shipping the HK90 will begin. One German enthusiast, [b]square74[/b], reports that his HK90 has arrived at the airport. A few other German enthusiasts have received preliminary tracking information.
I am eager to compare beam profile and beam performance with the X65. I think that this is the first mid-large multiple 90.2 light, if not the first multiple 90.2 light to be offered for pre-order.
GT94? https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/63210. Guess none received yet, but looks like you can pre-order them: https://www.nealsgadgets.com/products/lumintop-blf-gt94-flashlight?_pos=4&_sid=25ba9e10c&_ss=r
I pre-ordered both. This one, the Haikelite HK90 3*Luminus SBT90.2 High Lumens 3*21700 that is the subject of this topic thread, I pre-ordered from the freeme BG Group Buy;
and also, the GT94 that you linked to, I pre-ordered from the Texas_Ace NG Group Buy, node/74603.
The HK90 is just beginning to ship, according to one person on the German forum, but the GT94 still has a while to go before it is ready to ship.
Freeme - please put me down for one piece, sand color!
I got a few SBT90.2 lights now, most modded. Got 3 zoomies modded with them, mainly because it's easy - don't have to worry about making the reflector hole bigger or how to get the LED centered, etc. I modded quite a few old BTU Shockers for BLFers and a Shocker is close to what the HK90 is - triple with ~100 mm head diameter. Always liked the Shocker, and again, over built like many of the Haikelites.
Funny because BTU kind of became Haikelite - the last BTU's have a lot in common with Haikelite designs - pretty sure the same guy from BTU was or is involved in Haikelite.
I normally stay away from high cost lights like this, but this is really a Shocker make-over, and everything I'd want to see in a new generation Shocker: GT90.2's, e-switch, and triple 21700's. Quad 21700's would be too big. This light's tube diameter of 53 mm is slightly over the Q8's tube diam of 50 mm. You would think it should be lower than 50 mm, but we don't know yet if it's a carrier or cut out tube design, and how thick the metal is, but based on other HL designs, they don't care much about skimping on metal .
