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

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

Nice… I got mt09r xhp70.2 cw 5700k. 25500/22800… tested with fully charged Sony vtc5a.

… I was like… what kind of strange battery format is that? :smiley:

Greetings Texas Ace !

Just sent a PM... If possible would like to add my white CW 70.2 MT09R to the queue for suitable hot rodding. The "works", please, details in PM.

Thanks in advance!

Replied to your message.

Also just so everyone knows, I will most likely not be making more drivers. I should have around 8-10 drivers left after I finish the lights I already have here or incoming. Once those are gone I will only make more if there is quite a bit of interest.

Yea! Thanks!

just curious TA, would this driver fit/work in a Supfire M6? ( I’m fearful you will say yes :wink: )

thank you!

Hmm, it would fit in it but you would have to mod the battery tube to convert it into a carrier. It would also need some component changes to work with 1S.

I have a driver designed for the SRK / M6 already that drops in for 1S operation. I just don’t have any built.

Ok, another one down. This one is for ElectricJelly.

This is a Green one with 50% ramp TA driver, 4000k 80CRI, Spring bypasses, tailcap washer.

Final output is between 19k and 20k with the new system a tad below average but still pretty good. The tint looks ever so slightly different then the others (slightly cooler, I would say ~4300-4400k, pretty nice really).

I am wondering if this is a different reel. I am not sure what shipment these are from, I found a few packages I forgot I had with LED’s the other day when going through all my stuff.

Glad I went ahead and prepped these lights so I just have to toss the driver in them, makes this process so much faster.

Another one down, A blue MT09R for 808HI.

Another TA special with 4000k 80cri, Spring bypass, TA driver with 50% ramp, tailcap washer.

It is doing ~20k lumens.

Another light showed up in the mail today, so 2 more customer lights to do and then if I can muster the energy I have my own to do.
