Hey how are you man? No I’m not from Haikelite, hehe. From what I know, the MT07S is 4S (4 cells in series), so you do need all four cells for the light to work. This is not the case with the larger MT07 which can operate with just two cells.
Both Banggood and Gearbest have a DOA (dead on arrival) warranty. Within three days for Banggood and seven days for Gearbest (IIRC), if you report a defect, then you don’t have to pay for shipping to China. So it’s best to upload video to Youtube and report problem within this period.
Nice video and impressive beamshots from Mr. Charles Bridgtec
Got it, mine is NW, very impressive and brighter than my RC40 3500lm. 4500lumens heat up whole light fast even the batt tube. I took battery out and batteries are not as warm though.
I used small magnet to make contact. Don’t feel like to remove the +ve batt plastic yet.
Interesting…360kcd
How is this model an upgrade if it has 2,000 less lumen? What is different about it? Did they switch to a sliced dome xhp50.2?
My guess was it’s XHP35 HI, stating it’s 3000 lumens just like Astrolux stating MF02 is 3000 lumens. I’m interested in actual throw figure, as 1200 m is probably not the case.
Yeah I think your right. A sliced xhp50 or 70 would show the seperating lines between the dies. A sliced 50.2 or 70.2 would still have the yellow around the edges. It must be a XHP35-HI.
The original MT07S is a pretty impressive light with huge output. It also throws incredibly well considering the relatively small diameter and overall size/weight of the light. An XHP35 HI variant must result in amazing lux value… (but not 360k lux I think…).
An HD would be great for this light, too. I’m on board with a NW HI.
Will the original MT07S out-throw the K40M Acebeam? If so, by how much?
I don’t have K40M to compare side by side, but my MT07S NW measured around 70kcd. I think it out throw K40M by around 10% comparing to online review of K40M.
I think the MT07S is near by the K40M, my luxmeter schows 67.000 candela for my K40M.
We need code 
I’ll get 2 if price is nice
Strange that even Haikelite doesn’t officially announce it’s release. We definitely needs better deal than existing price. Can’t wait to see 300kcd with 2500+ lumens. I lowered my expectation.
I don’t think it’s just the lumens you need to reduce. Really don’t see this thing hitting 300k cd either. It would still be a great compact thrower nevertheless. :sunglasses:
Official spec now 3000lumens and 360kcd. I thought 2500lumens and 300kcd is achievable. No?
Well, for example look at the MT02. Haikelite states 160k cd (800m). In reality it’s about 60~70k cd (which is still nice to me). I mean that’s a huge difference. I’m just guessing that the reflector size of the MT07S is simply not large enough to hit 300k cd. My guess would be something like 150~200k cd maximum.
Someone dedomed their MT02 and get around 130kcd.
I hope with XHP35 HI and bigger reflector and driven harder, it can reach 300kcd.
