The HaikeLite HT35 is a 2300 lumens(max) flashlight with zoom feature, running on 2x 26650 batteries, with 3 modes and a super heavy duty construction body. It's simply a budget thrower flashlight, and you can expect to beam out to about 700m or more with this beast. I can compare to those 1km throw lights such as the Thrunite TN42 and Nitecore TM16GT etc. The difference is the price tag on the light, and zoom instead of non-zoomable. Personally I do not like zoom myself, but this one is one of a kind, and it does have a nice quality, heavy glass lens!

First thing to look at is the heavy and coated glass lens. Unlike the cheapo flashlights on ebay and such that claims to be zoomable, this one is really well made and is really tough build.
The "ring" part of the light cannot be removed, and the tailcap cannot be tail-standed, yet the switch is simple to operate. Just bump it for the next mode, and the light always start on highest mode.
There is also a hole for the tripod stand, and it originally comes with a little attachment for the strap to hang onto, which I don't find it useful but clumsy instead.
The size of the light is not bad, just like a Convoy L6, not too big.
Lots of fins for heat to vent out, and the light really does not get hot much in real use.
That is the haikelite ht35 when extended or zoom out all the way.
That is the light when zoom'd back all the way.
When you zoom all the way back in, you can see the LED in the center but there is no reflector of any sorts, but just the lens doing all the magical work on its own.
There is a thick red o-ring on the thread. Good threads btw, very smooth! As you can see here, the body of this light is very thick too, sort of remind me of the Nitecore TM03
There goes the tailcap, and surprise that there is no gold plated spring.
I have put 2x Liltokala 26650 in it, but you can put any 26650 you like, or even 2x 18650 too.
With some luck, I got a nice shot of the board inside, and the nice thick spring in the center.
here is the Haikelite HT35 zoom'd out.
Haikelite HT35 zoom'd in.
You can unscrew the head off like this and the lens is actually sealed with the body, by a nicely lubed o-ring under the lens.
I really love the heavy lens!
You can see the seals in the head now, and yes it is air and water proof inside, unlike the crappy zoomies from ebay and "cree" brand crap.
Here you can see the Haikelite HT35 and the Haikelite MT03 together side by side. Gearbest's picture shows the HT35 a bit shorter, or even looking like a normal tactical light size. Here let me tell ya, it's big and long, it's definitely not an EDC light fory ou to carry around, but it is useful if you go on a trip that needs a thrower to spot things from far away. The Haikelite MT03 is a flood king, while this HT35 is a throw king, both insanely powerful with a low price tag. I strongly recommend you to try it out when the coupon and discount codes are still working!
