HaikeLite MT03 & MT07 Group-buy Closed

Yeah mine was 2S2P. They told me they would send me a 4s driver. They said that the battery tube is the same, just the driver is different. I don’t want to sound like I’m glad that unknown got 3500, but it at least confirms that I’m not the only one with a NW that got that. I’d be curious what others are getting too.

The MT03 sold out batch #1 but apparently the MT07 hasn't yet. Wonder what the changes will be for batch #2.

On their site they have MT07 CW/NW 5000/4500lm
And MT03 CW/NW 8760/7560lm

I suspect with fresh off the charger 30Q’s it will gain a little bit.

I’m more concerned with the configuration of my MT03. The entire reason I paid for these was to test 4S versions. :frowning:

My MT07 tube is set up with springs diagonal instead of the 2S2P tube setup with springs side by side. Traces look different too.

I didn’t think they could add a 4s driver without a change in battery tube. Unless the driver has wide operating voltage range. But then why would a 4s make sense without a change in the battery tube. I dunno. My battery tube is definitely side by side and not diagonal.

Thanks Tom,
So the two NW reported falls significantly further from the advertised claim than the CW.

My MT07 NW is getting 3560 and my MT03 NW is getting 6750
how can I tell if my lights are 2P2S or 4S
I also have some strange dents on the neg side of some new VTC6 cells—I don’t recall them being there—not sure if dogging the tail cap all the way caused this—crazy

Maybe I’m missing something—how can the battery tubes be the same—you either get 16 volts or 8 volts on the driver end of the tube

It may be the springs. My cells have some marks after a few swaps too.

The 2s2p is on the left, 4S on right.

My threads are absolutely marred up from presumably dull machining tools. Poor QC.

This is after a thorough cleaning. They were perhaps the dirtiest threads I’ve come across. The MT07 threads had small particles of dirt/metal that were grinding upon initial opening.

Also I got around to testing my freshly charged 30Q set.
4.197v off the charger.
MT03 2S2P NW 7285lm at 30sec.
MT07 4S NW 3610lm at 30sec.

So a fair bump for the MT03. There’s an odd drop in those initial 30 seconds. It slowly decreases from about 7700lm at turn on down to 7630lm at 20sec, but suddenly drops about 350lm around 24 seconds.

awww this is depressing news :frowning:

im putting lots of hope in this new light

Received both 03 & 07 4S lights today, bought 8 batteries with order and got 4 so doing pretty good,
Thanks Pok Tom E for heads up on the screw, mine is missing also, thread anodizing is bad on cap ends of both the 03 and 07 similar to pics above, pos and neg soldering jobs are not the best, perhaps the worst I’ve ever seen on a new high dollar lights, hum…
Batteries arrived at 3.44v, so it will take 3 hrs to charge and I will have to test lights tomorrow, thanks all for the heads up,
I have to say I am a bit surprised by some of what I am seeing and reading with these lights, sure am glad there is the BLF.

I saw this on everydaysurvivalgear’s video as well… This light was not going to make me happy…

Well Haikelite did ask me if I could tell what color temperature exactly my MT07 NW was… Maybe they thought it was an emitter. I don’t really know, but its seems the first three people capable of measuring the NW are getting all around the same numbers. It seems like this does not affect the MT03. I am not sure if the NW version of those is using the same emitters.

I received mine in pristine condition hardly any dust. i know how hard it can be to maintain cleanliness in factory conditions so :+1: . The light is also amazingly bright , hot and throws like hell ,as far as many of my super throwers. Im overall happy with this GB.

However , i specifically asked for a SMOOTH reflector many times but got a op orange peel one .

HAIKElight Alva , How , can i get a smooth reflector ? In the future ,i meant to mod this light into a thrower like all my other lights.

SMO doesn't exist. Did HL say they would put one in your light?

Yea i asked for it and Alva said they have it for me. i also stated it in my paypal order.

Oh boy. Think they talked bout it, but I didn't think it was available then.

As far as the threads, yea, mine has some issues too, pic from the review:

Dunno, I think I noticed is at the time but didn't think much of it. I always apply Nyogel on the threads anyway, and they felt smooth, even though bare aluminum is showing on the outer 1 or 2 threads, just in isolated spots as well.

I just checked the other end (driver side) and those threads on mine are about perfect - can't notice any bare aluminum there. Mine also has double O-rings on each end.

I'd much prefer a smooth reflector. Are they available for purchase separately?

mmmm… Doesn’t a smooth reflector + XHP 70 = annoying crosshair beam pattern??

IMO someone and I prefer SMO reflector and XHP35 Hi for this big mass alu buffalo.
