Giveaway! Haikelite MT09R: what is your favourite colour?

:bow_and_arrow:?

:smiling_imp:

It seems we can choose the color and the emitters. Since I voted for green the color to choose is obvious but not sure yet about the emitters.

I voted for green, too, and picked the ā€™35s. Figure that should have some serious throwā€¦

:smiling_imp: :stuck_out_tongue:

The XHP35 will throw better but the XHP70.2 isnā€™t as floody as the XHP70.
Itā€™s a difficult decision (Iā€™m missing the scratching head emoticon too now :partying_face: )

:sushi: :confounded: :crown: :innocent: :beer: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiling_imp: :party: :o

As I mentioned to Dale, Iā€™ll probably get whichever one now and then just buy the other later, to see the difference. :smiley:

I have no idea what CT/tint they are, neither the 35s nor 70s, so I hope I chose right. :smiley:

Although the giveaway is over, I vote for white.

I decided to go for the XHP35 HI too. Iā€™m living at the country side and prefer throw over flood. I hope the color is CW or NW.

Please be careful, and donā€™t hold the MT09R too close to your wings when flying. This light can get hot and melt the wax, and you knowā€¦ youā€™ve been there beforeā€¦ The fall was not so nice I thinkā€¦ You donā€™t want to do that again rightā€¦? :smiley:
Congratulations Icarus! :partying_face:

:smiley:

Well, you couldnā€™t know but Iā€™ve chosen this nickname with a reason. :person_facepalming:

Lightbringer and me were the winners of this giveaway but until now we didnā€™t get our lights. :frowning: I sent Dale a message more than a week ago but didnā€™t get a reply yet. :frowning: If the lights were sent as promised even with the slow boat from China they should have been here by now. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Hey Icarus. Another member just posted on the group buy thread that tracking showed progress. It seems a lot of lights were stuck in China during Chinese New Year, so maybe yours and Lightbringerā€™s lights are finally on your way.

Good to know. Thanks for the info! :+1: I hope our lights will still show up one day. :person_facepalming:

Woohoo!

Is that the ā€œDepartment of Happinessā€(!!) message I just saw? Kewl if so. :smiley:

Might there be any tracking numbers? I could get a ā€œNiner Countdownā€ going. :smiley:

Yep thatā€™s the one. Tracking numberā€¦ pfffā€¦ donā€™t count on it Iā€™d say. Dale seems to be not so responsive. After the Chinese New Year, I would not be surprised if heā€™s flooded with mails. Also due to issues with these lights heā€™s probably up to his neck figuring out what is going on.

Eh, thatā€™s fine. If I get it, Iā€™ll consider myself ahead of the game. :smiley:

Two more weeks gone byā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ no lightā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ no reply from Daleā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. no tracking number ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ this giveaway is one big jokeā€¦. I donā€™t believe anymore our lights were sent! :rage:

Do you know if they were sent? I hadnā€™t heard anything either way.

I emailed him a while ago, but all the talk of CNY, all the hoo-ha about how many lumens, lights just flashing a few times when the tailcapā€™d be screwed on, ā€œDude, Whereā€™s My Charger?ā€, an errant Mystery Capacitor, etc., I kinda let it slip.

Wow, yeah, this is like from back in Decemberā€¦ ouch.

Dale sent me a message regarding shipping address and my mobile number on 28th December. He said he would declare the light low value but didnā€™t give a shipping date. If he really shipped the light letā€™s say early January it should have been here now. Since Dale doesnā€™t reply my messages (I sent 2 in the meantime) I doubt our lights shipped. :frowning:
