I just can't see it selling for that cheap. The only comparable light I can think of is the microfire L2000r which sells for 600 euros. OK, the K90 should be cheaper due to the reduced complexity of having only 1 led, but I still think it's going to be more like $500+

I hope I'm wrong though.

I agree with you.

Like to know which other brands are working on similar lights(sst-90,2000+lumens).
do you know something we don't?
if so,can you share?:poke:

Isn't peak working on one? No clue as to price and availability. Though I'd guess "higher" and "later."

The fact that they are marketing this light as a Search and Rescue light (as per dealers corner thread) and therefore calling it the SR90 might hint at a good throw?? Surely a search light needs good throw?? Just speculating of course.:thumbsup:

Maybe Matt should have an "office pool" type contest. We all get to guess the retail price and whoever gets closest wins one of these beauties. :thumbsup:

I'll go first: $349.

I think under $500.
Again, I have no insider knowledge on this aspect.



$500+ price range would turn a lot a buyers off...:(

Yes - though let's face it. For 'most' people anything over $150-200 is a dealbreaker. This isn't going to be a light for the masses.' Frankly, I've never seen a light over $200 sell in 'huge' numbers.'

Wait - this seems like a bad deal for me somehow.... :p

...until DX unleashes the new "PoopFire" SST-90 for $199.95.

No battery pack, either - it'll take 6 raw 18650s in varying states of charge - soon to be on all the terrorists' short lists!
Can you say "pipe-bomb"? Just switch it on and toss that sucker like a grenade...

the costs of making a HID is much more than the cost to make a LED light. you cant just charge an arm and a leg simply based on lumens. heres the four main things in my opinion that make HIDs expensive.. 1. HID bulbs cost more, 2.they mostly all come with thier own battery pack/charger, 3. HID's have the added cost of needing a ballast, and 4. bigger light, more material. however, with the size of this light, and the included battery pack/charger olight is stepping into the HID price waters.
