Olight X7 coming 15.9.2016 (3x XHP70, 9000 lumens)

EDIT: Please read my review of the X7 here:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...-X7-Marauder-measurements-(3x-XHP70-4x-18650)

Light is available to purchase from Olight: http://www.olightstore.com/led-flashlights/safety-and-self-defense/olight-x7-marauder

They have posted this on their website. Seems that the lumen output has been upped from 8000 to 9000.



Selected lights has some specs.

Awesome!

sweet !

a serious bump in lummens 9000lm means a lot of heath. its interesting for how long and will it be temporised or termaly step down. The high will it have more than 3000lm and so on. soon we will know
Hope our friends will make some rally interesting reviews of this little beast.

:twothumbs

They're definitely focused on hitting massive numbers lately (requiring stepdowns). No reason to think this would be any different. Hopefully there's a "high" mode that is sustainable for some length of time well above 3k lumens.

So 3000 per XH-P70.

How long before the lights must have active cooling of some kind?

Nice looking compact light, olight build, hopefully nice UI ...........trouble for me is, it does not really bring anything new to the party. Maybe potential of 11/12k @ 4000lm per xhp70 when v54'ed. Shaved dome, 5000k options will give another form to it. Still the tn36UTvn has it pretty much dominated for this size/output at 13k.

the thrunite tn36ut is a good competitor, Niwalker mm15mb too, but claimed USB charging is one big argument when traveling and overall ability to charge the flashlight through the most common charging port, i dont see wearing all the time i4 chgarger or spare pack of batteries.

Been long time waiting for this monster. The price maybe getting a bit high on these torches.

While Olight still flaunts the flashy numbers like everyone else, they at least acknowledge the stepdowns in their specs.

Most aren't as forthcoming, which is disappointing, if not a bit deceptive.

Even if the driver can sustain constant output, heat will probably remain the other limiting factor, at that level of output, that will eventually force a stepdown.

Coming

$300. for this new Olight? I say shop around. I'm glad I got me an MM15MBVN while they were available. I guess we'll see how this new Olight light does with throw, UI and everything else once it comes out.

On Facebook the rep said it will hold 9k for 3 minutes and then drop and 300 meters of throw.

Available to preorder.

Turbo:
9000 lumens for 2.5 minutes then steps down to 1800 lumens for 200 minutes

Level 3 is not too bad:
3000 lumens for 32 min + 1800 lm for 200 min

Now if they only offered this in NW or better yet, CRI90+ NW.

24500 candela on Olightstore.com and 28500 candela on Olightworld.com

Somewhere in between perhaps?

Not a huge difference between the two figures accounting for natutal variation bewteen emitters and measuring equipment and before or after reflector losses.

this is Olight X7 Marauder "official" output specifications...



there are 2 ordering options, standard package (just the light) and kit package (includes batteries, chargers, etc.)

On Olight's site they offer 18650 High discharge batts in the kit ... Are these different from regular Olight (or other top brand) 3.7/34-3600mAh batts?
