HaikeLite MT03 & MT07 Group-buy Closed

I have luck with my MT03
The only “MOD” I’ve done is removing those plastic reverse polarity protection spacers.
I don’t have a proper lux meter, so can’t tell those numbers.

Overall I’m very pleased with the price/performance with this light.
Now I hope it lasts a long time.

You need to have your nails re-done :smiley:

That does look nice

Nice job aceall, if I didn’t know better I’d have thought that was the way it really looked now,
That looks really almost to good, you must be a graphics artist, only problem now is the silicone switch looks funny and might look even nicer I think if it was a S/S switch that had the voltage indicator lights around the edge of the switch to match the bezel…
That looks like a mans hand with a sort of green finger nail???

Thanks, yes I am graphic designer.

I took the image from Haikelite website so it is not my finger but yes I can agree, it look very… I don’t know, suspicious haha.

I didn’t think for one second that was your finger, ha ha ha, I had seen the original on Haike’s site since I’ve been tracking this fool like a man on a mission…

Haha OK :slight_smile:

Anyone receive any information from HaikeLite as to how they are going to resolve the problem with the lights that are only producing half of the lumen output? I’ve pm’d them a few times, but have not received any information. I mentioned in my PM to them that my Groupbuy MT03 has only only half the lumen output of the MT03 I purchased from them before the groupbuy. I don’t do mods so whatever solution they come up with can’t involve that. They seem to be hoping that we will just forget about the problems, but if I don’t get a satisfactory response very soon, I will be opening a Paypal dispute.

I’m in the EXACT same situation! I PM’d them a couple weeks ago and they responded with a generic response that makes me think they just want me to let it go.
I’m giving them another week and I’m filing a paypal dispute as well, as I NEVER would have purchased this light if I knew it was only slightly brighter than my L6.

Ahhh, if the light is in exc. condition, I'd be interested in buying it to mod. In my case, I don't care bout the LED, driver, or whatever the output/amps is. I assume your talk'n bout a MT07? Actually I'd like one 2S2P MT07, and one 2S2P MT03.

I modded one L6 with my Narsil ramping firmware - works great! Also updated the LED to a P2 1C, and swapped to the SMO reflector:

6,700 lumens @start, 6,250 lumens @30 secs, 149 kcd

I was led to believe in certain post that the 4S version would be more desirable——?

The benefit of a 2S2P (battery) configuration is that you can mod it with a FET drive.

Nope - not by me, not for modding. A 4S needs the driver to buck voltage down - some think that's more an efficient setup, but that all depends on the driver design - it can be more efficient, better regulated. For modding to use a full out FET, 2S2P is what I want.

An MT07 has several advantages over a L6 for modding - twice as many cells, much better thermal mgt, should get better throw because of the bigger reflector.

Tom, I’m really trying to get a replacement, as this light could be awesome if it was as billed.
My version is the MT03 4s CW version anyway, so I’m not even sure you’d be interested in it.

Ok - shame it's a 4S, but I'd be interested in a MT03 2S2P. If say for example you get a settlement with PayPal and get your money back, and stuck with a light that won't be used, then I'd be interested for sure. Or they send you a replacement that you are satisfied with, but they didn't want the original back because of shipping and you're stuck with it, I would take it. All hypothetical anyways because yours is a 4S. Think I would need a couple parts to convert it to a 2S2P, and not sure I could get them or build/mod them myself.

We’ll have to see how everything pans out. I’m giving them another week, and then I’m filing a paypal dispute. I’ll keep you up to date with whatever they decide to do, or not do.

But has been visiting BLF, the last one was less than a week ago.

So has anyone done a driver swap yet?
Seems the biggest issue is the driver itself. And it wouldn’t be impossible to switch the battery carrier from 4S to 2S2P, cut the traces and solder some wires I’d guess.

They have been visiting BLF but they’re not replying here or to individual members, which makes it extremely suspicious. I’m following this thread closely even though I didn’t order a haikelite because I really want to know how all this ends.

Is this what is being called a shoe lace?

I didn't really pay much attention to it. It seemed familiar - pretty sure the Shockers came with the same exact lanyard thing, same material, same wrap.
