I do wonder why they are still using steel springs instead of phosphor bronze or beryllium copper for the main spring, and make it even thicker since it screws down on a battery tube and not bare cells.
Would avoid such bad solder jobs.
Unfortunately many of my spring bypasses look like that. It takes me a few tries before I get one without solder sucked all the way up the wire and making it look like those. That’s not an excuse though. They should have practiced. At least folks with patience or good soldering skills can fix that.
Yeah, that type of bypass works, for awhile anyways. I find that wrapping the wire “around” the spring so that it does not flex as much when the spring is compressed lasts orders of magnitude longer. I have yet to have one break on me doing it that way but had most of my old ones like this break over time.
luckily they never hurt anything when they broke, they just stopped being bypasses and the output dropped.
I am still waiting for my replacement driver for almost a month now. To the member that received the replacement driver, how long did you wait for your replacement driver?
Your driver should come very soon.
I was waiting for my Haikelite MT01 driver and reflector, and they came today!
I had emailed him, and he said the reason for the drivers taking time to be shipped, is that he was waiting to ship every spare part from almost every Haikelite light, the MT01, MT07S, MT03, etc, for lower cost shipping.
This is why it’s taking time.
Thank you
I was waiting since Group Buy was over.
I buy 3 pcs new MT09R and Dale send drivers with it by DHL.
Probably they will send drivers by normal shipping method registred/unregistred so to europe it takes 3-4 weeks
I’ve emailed multiple times about a replacement driver for mine but I’m not getting any response. I’ve given up on my light though at this point so if it comes, it comes, if not whatever, this thing will just sit in the bottom of a drawer somewhere.
Don’t give up.
He is extremely busy.
He only responded to me when the drivers were in my city in tracking.
He has a lot of work on his hands, and probably 100+ emails to respond to.
On one post on this thread since 7/8/2018. I understand Dale is extremely busy but how about some customer service for the members that purchase the light in first GB with the trust of the company.

Its been two months when he emailed the driver got shipped but still no show up 
I am going to continue bumping this thread until someone responds.
Yes, for the GroupBuy, he told me a shipping number and said he has shipped it before CNY, but it was shipped very late after CNY. So dont trust his words at all. I think he will ship at least yours.
I have no answer depending the driver.

I haven’t heard from Dale in a long time in regards to my replacements. Hope they show up at some point as he did originally tell me that they would be shipped
we want our drivers
