Do all of you guys want to get together and file one at the same time, that way they might be more apt to do something about it?
You can get MT03 for $99, promo code in description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8xrP6BK2hI
Also, as you can see in the review his threads are the same as ours so group buy received the same flashlights, not rejected ones.
2s2p tested, brightness is probably the same as Olight x7.
Check out at 6 minutes and 20 seconds (and 7 minutes 38 seconds). The button switch stops glowing blue, and sort of stutters a bit. Is this supposed to happen related to a step-down, or is the light buggy here as well?
I really wish I would have purchased the 2s2p version, as it seems like the 2s2p version meets the claimed specs.

Well, I got sick of waiting for their reply (I’ve given them MORE than enough time IMO!) and I filed a paypal dispute. Let’s see if this gets their attention.

I know it’s been said to the effect that 2S2P appears to be the better one but mhanlen also had issues. See post #252
That’s the moment when batteries went under 50%, blinks two times every 10 seconds.
Aha! A bit odd looking though… Cheers.
For what it is worth, I purchased an MT103 outside of this GB on Nov 14th, and received it here in France on the 30th Dec.
I got the shoelace, o-rings and light, but no plastic bag, alas. However, I am pleased to say I think my 4S version is behaving correctly, blue switch light and all. I have no way of measuring the output, but all the modes work well and on turbo I have managed to blind several cows and set fire to the woods nearby. I assume all is well with the Devourer’s power as I have a Sunwayman D40A as a house torch and its turbo output is bang on the same as the 1000 lumens middle mode of the Haikelite. Turbo on the MT103 is brighter than a full beam headlamp from the car by some margin.
I use the torch mainly for walking the dogs at night (we get some boars here that aren’t too friendly and I enjoy scaring the crap out of the deer) and I still have yet to recharge my Sanyo GA’s. I like everything about the light to be honest - but judging by what seems to have gone on I have obviously been very lucky.
I did contact Alva several times during the transaction and he replied every time quite courteously, so heaven knows what has really happened. I’m saddened that so many of you seem to have been dealt a bum deal on what has been a great purchase for me. My condolences…… 
Sorry to hear some people didn’t get their light yet, I got 4 of them just fine, 3( 2 MT03 and 1 MT07 plus 8 batteries) through GB and was shipped by DHL and bought another one MT07 shortly after ( few bucks more than the GB price though ) for keeping the other one from being lonely :laughing:
Now,the strange thing is…when the batteries drained a bit from too much showing off.
The lights can’t be turn OFF, it just kept on cycling in modes. the only way to turn it off is by unscrew the battery tube.
Anybody else have this problem? btw this is happened on one of the MT03 and all the lights is 2S2P,
And of course I got the shoe string cord, no biggie, I never care about the strings anyway.
Received some potentially positive answer from HL that they would look into it and re-send a light (version II) if the package is lost.
I received a message from them as well! They said that they would send me a MT03 version II 2s2p since I was unhappy with the original light they sold me. I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch however, but this is definitely a good sign.

I am currently replying to a Mr Lee from HaikeLite,
And normally I never would never no matter what post a part of or an entire personal message to the public, but this is not a normal situation, so I am posting for all to read what he has said to me, and the why things are the way they are at the moment with HaikeLite,
My response is reasonably straight forward, not many options for them from my point of few and reply, it’s like this… resend me two lights in 2S2P, as he admits that 4S and the driver is the primary issue as we have suspected here on thread, and then just flat out sloppy work in changing out battery configuration plates to 4S, telling us stupid reason for why taking so long to get things shipped, all is very clear, so my demand is two new lights, period and you can keep the $20 you still owe me, if not acceptable, fine PayPal dispute, I also warned him of the dispute already in progress and that he and their company are running out of time to reply to disputes, and this will cause them major problems so I advise to pay attention, contact PayPal and start explaining or they are going to go under real fast, BG and GB will not be happy with a vendor who has PP issues either…

Hi Mr Gary
Really sorry for the lack of communication these days.
Our boss is badly sick in hospital these days…Many things are in a mess in our company. Alva went home to look after him.
MT03 II is ready in stock now… I m in charge all the after-sale issue now.
In our test, 2P2S driver is much brighter than 4S driver in turbo mode.
So what do you want us to help? Resend you a new MT03 II with 2S2P driver?
Best Regards!
Lee
Edit: I sure hope you all understand why I thought posting this entire message as so important, definitely not something I would ever do to you or another member, regardless of circumstances, this is just to important and tells us and the members of this GB who and what is involved now that Alva is out of the picture, seems like some good faith effort, maybe…?? But not counting my chickens or fortune cookies either… I don’t have any chickens anyhow…
I got the same message you did. I’ll give them a couple weeks to get their shit together. That said, I’m not closing out my paypal dispute until I have the new light in hand.
Im in similar situation….bought 2xMT03 and MT07 before Xmas but nothing arrived.
PayPal dispute has lodged but no resolution /communication from seller yet.
I would be happy if they ship the lights with new model. I really like the design and I think I can mod to pump more juice.
Maybe the story is true, give them benefit of the doubt,maybe Alva is his wife / daughter is going back to care for him.
Just remember… they are a new start up company, they might not have enough people to work for them ( or shell out $$ to pay for extra employee). that’s probably things are difficult when you don’t have the boss around to make the decisions.
I received all of mine, and a lot of other guys also received theirs too. so have some patience, with that said of course patience within 45 days of paypal protection.
I came out from year long hiatus from BLF, just recently active again… ( maybe my mistake coming back… my wallet is a lot thinner again :person_facepalming: )
Things happened whether you want to hear it or not, upon coming back here again, I just heard the news of one of my favorite modder Justin AKA Oldlumens has passed away ( R.I.P Justin )
Never thought that could happen to someone that we love, but things do happen.
So… instead raising your blood pressure yourself, grab something nice and cold from the fridge and pick one of your lights and just turn them ON and start shining at stuffs, just to make yourself happy.
I did that with one of my light that Justin built for me… shine them to the sky upon hearing the news of his passing,
And don’t worry about the lights, I’m pretty sure they’re decent company willing to make things right.
BTW I’m in no way have associate or work for them 
Unless I’m mistaken that was already ‘in the works’ and not a special request. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall them making 4S because we wanted it.
Also, 2S2P variations have had output issues as well, not just 4S.
