I’ve been away from the forum for a while but I’m glad to see Hikelite developing new and interesting lights. Out of my many 5,000+ lm floodlights there isn’t a single one I would trust to take to the outdoors due to short throw and blindingly bright flood. XHP35HI version sounds like a TM16GT on steroids.
Since I’m not too up to date with recent BLF creations, can anyone quickly enlighten me about the “TA Driver” being used here and how is it different from the good ol FET+1 found in the D4 (apart from being in series of course)?
Have to think about this one, price for 70.2 is higher than I thought it would be. Haikelite is not a premium brand yet. If the price were lower I would probably buy 4 total, 2 of each emitter.
Would love to see some pic’s of the light tore down. Specifically LED shelf thickness, driver pocket depth, driver for the XHP70 and the 35, wondering if both XHP70/XHP35 builds are the same?
“Similar” to Acebeam x65, which can 430kcd and 12k lumens. That has 108 mm head and there are 3 leds next to each other. MT09R has 74 mm head and there are 2 leds next to each other. So both of them have same width of “mini reflectors”. Another question is the depth of these reflecrtors.
For the quality vs price, there will be a code a year from now I was wanting a Blue one but not paying the asking price for a Haikelite. Its more then the GT! Haikelite does not have a good track record for quality. I’m sure they will get there though :+1:
