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

You are correct. His mt03 have an upgraded led, so 5700k.

Hey guys I sold the MT09R 35 high CW White(Silver)

I normally always take Sunday off but I knew I had one more 35 high and all I needed to do was install TA's driver so I now have only 1 35 high left.

Black and even though the box is not marked for some odd reason I can just about bet the emitters are CW. 6400 lumen in my tube using 30q's

I am about to process the order for the white one and I will add this black one to the stores inventory when I do and at the same price.

Thanks for all of the support and please keep the pictures coming. love seeing them... That MT03 is 100 percent flood and extremely bright. I just like the extra distance from the 90R...

I don’t have any issues with my DC-Fix handling the heat and I love to go repeated turbo.

I have a palight Boss1 with the xpl dedome… it have ring around the corona and do you think dc fix will eliminate?

DC-Fix is not recommended for dedicated throwers since you want max concentrated hotspot, whereas DC-Fix will diffuse the beam. With that said, however, I think I remember reading someone saying you can cut a donut ring with the DC-FIX so it doesn’t affect the hotspot. I have no idea whether that works.

Ok. Just curious… having a ring is good, atleast in this light… it got a highest intensity… anyhow…

Wife has that... says it does a great job.

Nice… i ordered two from amazon last night… one for me and one for my parents…

Texas_Ace Mopping thread.

I quite enjoy the various off-topic departures on BLF.

If this gets enough action, perhaps it will warrant a What did you mop today? thread! :smiley:

Ah, finally crisp clear borders in the table of the manual for the Haikelite.
That bugged me for four days

LOL, I know the feeling. Glad you got it figured out!

Ok, I think we just figured out the issue and the good news is it is semi-easily correctable.

The 4” only has an adapter that steps down to 2”, I need another adapter to step down to 1.5”. This adapter was the issue. After modifying it so it does not shroud the meter as much the readings are right in line with what I expected them to be at the start. I never would of guessed that little bit would make such a large difference.

So now to start building the 4” and hopefully finish those today and start shipping tomorrow.

Wrong thread? Someone’s been working on spheres a little too long. :smiley:

I just dropped the prices on my website a ton.. you may want to look before they are gone. I will need all the extra space when the SC26 units arrive so basically I am selling at cost. Better hurry if there is one you want.

Those units are basically at dealer cost... I am sure TA would be happy to verify that a MT09R35 high with his new driver already installed selling at the price I have it set at is at almost zero profit...

Scratch the 35 high... It's sold...

Yeah I just noticed this was in the wrong thread. You have no idea how happy I will be to have these spheres finished lol.

I am almost finished with the spheres, finally, and will be catching up on flashlight mods as soon as that is finished.

I have several lights here and several more coming. If everyone that has a flashlight they want me to mod could get in contact with me so we can finalize the order details that would be great. I will be placing what could be my last LED order for awhile tomorrow so I need to get all the components ordered.

I will also be discounting any extra LED’s I have left over here so I am not stuck with a bunch of LED’s I can’t use. First I need to see what the orders are for so I see what is left over.

Just a quick update, my component order was delayed to today, by the time I could of ordered on Friday it would not of shipped until today anyways so decided to wait to give some people more time to figure out what LED’s they wanted.

I just placed the order and it should be here in a few days. I will most likely prepare the lights as much as possible to make they go quicker once I have the drivers.

Ok, the components showed up yesterday and I was able to get the drivers assembled by staying up past midnight.

Today I am starting work on the lights I have here. Hopefully I get them them modded today and shipped tomorrow. I have had some of these for awhile now and it is about time they get shipped.

The first one is for Keepitsharp.

He wanted to stick with the stock LED’s, TA driver, spring bypasses and tailcap washer.

I do not trust my sphere readings right now but for comparisons sake it is doing a bit under 19k lumens like this.

I have about 4 more mt09r’s on hand excluding mine that I still have not gotten around to, another few that should arrive any day and then a few other lights. I guess we will see who is next.

Next light is for Man without Shadow.

It is a Green mt09R, TA driver, 100% ramp, 5000k LED’s, Springs bypassed and tailcap washer.

It is doing 19k lumens
