*new* Olight H2R Pro headlamp

[Mr Baz]

Re: Where are they going?

Nothing to see anyway.......

its a 750 lumen headlamp that bursts a brighter light for 30 seconds, big deal!

That's not the appeal for many the 18650 longer run time and design (ie dual use) stick out. The turbo is fun and might find some use..not the only area to look at
There are areas I'd change no question, but I think they did a good job on this one overall

The 2300 is just for fun. Seems like a great light. Likely my next purchase!

After I get over my initial nervousness at having 2300 lumens strapped to my head



I suppose the turbo would probably only be used by me as a flashlight. I haven't thought of why I need that much in a headlamp. yet. Of course it's probably not going to deter me from buying one

Re: Where are they going?

I am a little bit sad personally, that they went along to this Chinese brand's trend to have hight peak of marketing lumens...

What do the Chinese have to do with it? Personally, starting with Apple computers, in general I prefer goods made overseas.

Re: Where are they going?

You know what, I was so convinced that I will buy the H2R after watching Mr.Baz's video and after reading Budda's (and his pictures) review.

But after reading Maukka's review, I now have doubt in the H2R, for:
a) Per Maukka's temperature chart, the temperature management system is a roller coaster. If this is gonna be visible to our human eyes in actual usage, then it's gonna be a headache.
b) there's PWM (as quoted by Maukka PWM visible on firefly)

Ok, in moving forward, may I politely request for one of our great and friendly reviewers to please kindly respond whether in real-life usage, there's such a visible tremendous increase and decrease in brightness ?

Thanks in advance

My above request has been answered by Maukka in his review thread.
Hence, my query is hereby recalled.

Thank you very much for replying

I know you said that Maukka's review answered your question, but here's one from a newbie: The light heats up fast on highest level and then the light steps down little by little. It's still plenty bright once it stops stepping down. It's a nice safety feature for the user(?) and for the flashlight itself.

I have accepted that due to the availability of higher-output new generation LEDs and the limitation of heat at the present time, manufacturers will be producing brighter more powerful palm sized flashlights and all these will break the traditional 1000 lumen ballpark, which will surely be Hot fast and that in the higher output levels one have to live with hotness .

So, in moving forward with the trend, just let it be Hot (whether there be safety down shifts to keep it cool or none, its no matter anymore) I just wanna enjoy the lights.

I have both the H1R and the H2R in neutral white. I enjoy both, but the H1R is definitely more fun. The H2R at turbo mode gets very hot fast. I can't put my finger right up the head for more than a few seconds before it gets too hot. I'm tempting to try cooking an egg with it lol. Both lights will be nice hand warmers for cold nights

Thank you iroast for your sharing information on the H2R NW (which is what I am targeting to get) from an end-user's perspective, much appreciated, so we may know exactly what to expect when our unit finally arrives.

It is nice to hear this "... tempting to try cooking an egg with it..." yeah man LOL, definitely not gonna be a hand warmer for us , as we only have summer 365-days here, so, perhaps we'll need to thicken our skins in order to operate this thing

BTW iroast, when in Turbo, do you notice any hard increases or decreases in light output ?

Acebeam makes control-ringed Headlamp, model is the H10 MTG2 2000 lumen burst.

Isn't the mtg2 outdated by the xph? Or is there a throw advantage?

Also, protected cells allowed in these lights?

It's older than xhp but much much nicer tint and beam shape.
