Well, the devourer actually devours a lot of darkness.
The buffalo looks a bit like a buffalo with the big front section…
This trekker could be good for trekking (hiking etc.) i suppose.
Personally I figured the reason to call the MT07 Buffalo, is to relate the product to a strong wild animal, just like Ford Mustang.
But, you made me realise I made a mistake. What I meant to say is that if you name a light Devourer (which makes sense), then why name the other light Buffalo, or vice versa?
Each name can be explained like you did, but there is no coherence between the three names. It makes more sense (I think) to stick with one theme. This holds true as well for the code of the products where there is coherence: MT01, MT03, MT07.
Certainly no complaint, but it makes me scratch my head.
Yeah, the Buffalo is the only animal and the only name referring to the design / shape of the light.
“Devourer” is a bit of a questionable name i.m.o.
It is the best looking one of the 3 models though.
I got one recently, the 2nd generation with cool white XHP70.
It’s just stupid bright. :sunglasses:
How do you like the quality of the light? Fit and finish all good?
I have one of each tint (MT03)…both are perfect, new switch…very solid and nice looking…no imperfections. I haven’t’ taken it apart or anything to look for scratches on the board, or improper thermal paste application…etc.
The lights really went from zero to hero.
HaikeLite mentioned that MT01 will have better finishing than MT03.
Yeah, it’s very nicely put together.
As we speak i’m tearing it down though. 
I’ll open a topic on it because i want to mod it here and there.
The obvious spring bypasses of course, but i think it would be good to put in beefy coils in stead of the rather tiny ones it has now.
Then i can raise the current a little, hopefully getting it to do 12000 Lumen or more. 
Eventually i want to put XHP70.2 (3A tint) in it, and i’m thinking about different optics too, maybe TIR optics.
But we’ll see about that later…
Im…………kinda interested or maybe just curious
More pics.
Why not?
Where are the pics?

Deal is ON
i neeed to know haikelite mt01 deals
I’m interested!
I have a review sample on the way. As is my usual practice, I will post it to reddit first and BLF about a week after. No actual ETA on the light though.
I don’t know if they changed the battery tube, but the one i just received from Bangood (very fast shipping, only 2 weeks.) The only batteries that will fit mine are 18650 non-protected. 18700’s are WAY to long. none of my protected cells will fit this light, NCR 3200mah 18650 protected, TF Flames original 2400mah Protected, etc. - none of them will fit the MT01 and are to long with the protection circuits on them.
There seem to be some differences based on the pic.

Here are some measurement from MT02 for you to compare with. I suspect they are using the same body for both MT01 and MT02.
- Uncompressed spring height: 5.6mm
- Battery carrier length excluding tailcap: 72.5mm
- Anode contact brass ring height: 3.2mm
i wonder if doing spring bypass is worth it or not since the load is basically shared among 3 batteries so each batteries are only lightly loaded and this light also regulated so the only thing effected by the spring bypass would be a longer regulated ouput.
