The price of this model (90 SBT and 26800 battery size) is about US110 (plus tax if shipped to the USA or the EU). And there is no option to include the 26800 battery cell, which is very difficult to find.
Too expensive, not attractive at all. I think it cannot compete with the Convoy L7, which is cheaper, at US$81.45 with a discount code on Banggood.
This will be the first light with that emitter, are you getting anywhere close to the rated 14000 lumens that they spec?
If so, wouldn’t this LED blow the 90.2 out of the water?
Also doesn’t the SFH55 require ridiculous amount of power?
I have a Pioneman light but they do indeed use Convoy drivers. The comparative advantage of Pioneman appears to be their machining. I really like the body of my 21700 tube light with a XHP 70.2.
It's the same question I ask myself, they wrote right? Or they were wrong and wanted to write SFN55, if they really made a flashlight with the SFH55 led then I will buy it now!
I will get one with SFH55 but unfortunately I cannot buy the 26980 battery directly from AliExpress because it is not offered so I will buy it from Nealsgadgets.
We don't think the chart is accurate in all respects, but a lot of it seems to be.
The issue with the K80 SFH55 is if it truly can pull the amps, it should be over 30 and that's not great on any single cell. That's why the bigger WT90 triple 21700's is right now about as good as it gets. Was thinking of a GT90 too, 8 18650's should do ok also.
Interesting if the WT90 with one SFH55 would do as good as the triple SBT90.2 HL HK90. Or put three in a HK90 and get >30K lumens? Interesting...
Wow! The WT90 with SFH55 will be a complete monster!
I will probably go for the SBT90.2 in the k80 for three reasons:
1. I don’t yet have a torch with a SBT90.2 and this host looks perfect for it.
2. As you motioned, a single 26800 is not enough for the mighty SFH55.
3. I want more throw.
I’ll obviously wait for Simon to release his version.
