Texas_Ace MT09R Modding thread, 20k+ lumens, 80CRI, can start fires? Yes please.

Nope, the mode sets are completely separate in the firmware and will not be effected.

That is completely up to you. The stock LED is a D4 bin, so you could only move up 1 bin to an E2 in the XHP35 HI, so there is not a lot of output to be gained. About 7% based on the bin alone.

It is more about tint, if you want a different tint, then another LED is the way to do that.

Hey guys just a little request. I do not know the details but Dale is currently at the hospital with his daughter I think she is 3. What every religion you may practice. Maybe keep them in your prayers...

Praying for the dale’s family… hope everything goes well and nothing major.

Thanks TA for the explanation on the modes, had been thinking about that 50% settings and started wondering.
It sounds like my light might not ship to you until Thursday or so, unless I misunderstood the post by Terry,

Yeah, any lights from Terry will not be shipping to me until the end of the week at the earliest, I would guess next Monday as a more realistic time frame since he does not even have a confirmation on the exact day they will be delivered yet.

Feel free to send me a PM about any other mods you want done and we can talk about those as well.

Just to verify, does that mean modes 1-6 are going to function the same as modes 7-12?

It would be pretty neat if modes 1-6 had the 100% setting set to the same limit as the upper ramp limit (say 50%). Then it would function similar to the GT. Modes 1-6 would be more muggle friendly.

I don’t know, that might require a lot of code tweaking that you don’t have time for.

I agree with TA. Terry is getting 30 lights probably in like 2-3 weeks.

Hey guys just a quick note... If you can see an item on my website that will allow to purchase it then it is in stock.

Please remember I have 2 warehouses one on the east coast and one on the west coast. The green and blue MT09R's that I got the last of were shipped to my warehouse in Arizona and my wife and I are flying out there on Tuesday to begin shipping the orders. Most are going to TA but there are a few that are shipping straight to the customer. Some people just wanted to order the driver from TA and install it themselves.

But if you see it on my website and it will allow you to place an order then the item is in stock. If it is out of stock in will not allow you to place an order.

Current stock as of right now is

10 Blue

11 Green

Thanks very much.

Terry

Don’t have much of a religion to pray to but I really hope it’s not serious.

And I am sure he will appreciate just knowing that we all have him in our thoughts... It is the gesture that matters... I have always respected what a person chooses for themselves...

Thank you... I am still waiting to hear any new news but it may be tomorrow...

So I am about to get the estimate lumen on my mt09r TA. Be back

Never mind. My 18650 were 3.9v. Have to do it some other time.

Well then I misunderstood so I need to get hopping and get my plan for the build in order for you TA, I bought online at Terry’s store so it will be shipping soon, Oh ya and some CASH for you,

Ok… lumen ceiling bounce is done, my english is bad, so sorry about my grammar…

Stock thrunite tc20, i got 194 lux… 3800 lumen.
Mod olight x7. 993 lux… 21000 rated lumen.
Mod fenix tk72r. 622 lux… 11000 lumen.
Haikelite mt09rTA. 1140 lux… so thats translate to 22,000 lumen.

So i compare the stock light, and other modded lights… lumen specs result were very close…

Mt09r TA version is 22,000 lumen… same specs as skylumen… so 22,000 is legit…

I forgot what mode sets I ended up going with but some of the modes do indeed have the highest mode at around 50%. I have been waiting to finilize the mode groups until HL sees it and lets me know if they want any changes.

I will send you a PM so we can start discussing what all you want done in a little bit.

I get 20k easily and by easily I mean really it is closer to 21k but I call it 20k because everyone measures output a little differently. Even our tubes will vary little depending on humidity and even if some dust has collected inside of the tube. So I just leave it at 20k.

The reason that is such a big deal to me is that it is with totally stock NW emitters. I will eventually probably swap out the emitters on my personal lights but for now they are totally stock which means that as long as it is a light with stock NW emitters and TA's driver design is what will be going in future batches of the 90r series. This light is now a stock 20k lumen light out of the box.

22,000 is legit… i have skylumen modded lights… its too complicated to get the real specs. I did some testing.

So my mt09r is real 22,000 lumen…

Great! Glad to know that my numbers are panning out. Hope you are happy!

I always worry about overrating something, I much prefer to under promise and over deliver.
