I was not recommending a fin-less design.

It is up to Haikelite to find the right combination of looks to performance that ultimately leads to higher sale numbers.

Just to be clear, the MT03 does not have to look beautiful to sale, it just needs to look acceptable/decent.

The MT01, MT02, SC01 and SC02 all look nice. The MT07S is pretty similar to the MT03, but it looks a lot nicer in my opinion.

Notice the transition in the middle of the head, it has a nice 45° angle to it rather than a 90° step. It has all the fins in place. The fins are a little shorter in certain areas. The button looks very nice. The tail cap has several flats on it which look nicer than the round MT03 tail cap. I think you get my point. It’s the little tweaks and refinements that can make a big difference.

I don’t know Haikelites history. Maybe the MT03 was one of their earlier designs and the MT07S is a newer design? The MT07S is much improved cosmetically in my opinion.

Anyway, if Haikelite is reading these forums maybe they will consider a few changes to the MT03 to make it look nicer. Maybe come out with a MT03S or MT03 III?

Am I the only one here that thinks the looks could be improved or do you think it looks nice right now?

In for 1.

update my one for white colour with a smooth reflector and a cool white tint colour please?

SMO reflector is not guaranteed at this stage. HaikeLite did mention that MT03 should have a floody profile.

Interested in CW

Interested in a NW version!

What is the difference between the first version and this one?

This one uses the xhp70.2

  1. New "white" color.
  2. CREE XHP 70.2 (Generation II) upgrade.
  3. Area around the power button will be darken for black version.

Definitely good looking lights. I mean very good looking lights. It would be interesting to see a review to find out how the new XHP70.2 perform, in terms of output, throw and tint of CW and NW. I think this would help sales for Haikelite as well. :sunglasses:

Switching to the 70.2 should not have any effect on the output or throw since this light uses a constant current driver. If it used to FET driver, then output would be greatly increased.

So you think the appearance and shape of the lights looks very good?

Interested in White with NW tint. (depending on GB price

Ah, so output bin is the same, but Vf is lower? So a bit less heat with the same output if I’m understanding correctly? I thought throw improved just a bit as the four quarters are placed closer to each other (cross is thinner). Perhaps tint and tint shift is most interesting…
Personally I think MT03 is a really great design; definitely one of the best in my opinion. I also just love the look of a bunch of decent cooling fins, which happen to be practical as well.
Perhaps the tailcap can be a bit thicker, as the light now appears to be sort of tapered: huge top, and relatively narrow bottom. Honestly I think I should get this light sooner or later; I’m just hooked on flood lights. :sunglasses:

Put me on the list.

I wish the UT03 project was active. I like its ergonomics better, but I already have a MT07, and want to see about getting a matching MT03 to mod into a serious lumen monster like TomE did.

Interested in a black light with NW emitters

In if 70.2 and in NW.

Is this instead of the Utorch UT03? Kinda makes it redundant doesn’t it?
