These Haikelites were impulse buys and I’ve decided to part with them. Click photos to embiggen.
5700K photos:
4000K 80CRI photos:
Both have Texas_Ace’s custom drivers and all springs are bypassed. Narsil is set to 50% ramp, then a double-click jumps to turbo.
Both are in excellent condition and have been used only a few times.
Contrary to the photos, the 5700K model does include the threaded tripod mount adapter.
The 5700K model is $150 including Priority Shipping.
The 4000K 80CRI model is $200 including Priority Shipping.
Both lights have been sold.
US and PayPal only.
Nice… if I had the spare $$ I would be interested.
So the 5700k ‘texas ace’ light… That’s good for over…15000 lumens?
No not 15k.
19k lumens is what he measured with mine at 5700k 80CRI LEDs stock.
With spring bypasses, it goes up to 20-21k lumens.
MT09R XHP70.2 lights with spring bypasses and Texas_Ace drivers are generally measured around 20,000 lumens or higher.
Texas_Ace posted measurements of many of his builds in his MT09R modding thread .
Here and here are two examples of 5700K lights measured at 20,000+ lumens by TA.
‘Newlumen’ measured a 5700K MT09R here at about 20,000 lumens.
Remember, these lights need quality high-drain cells to reach maximum output. I use Samsung 30Qs, but others in the thread mention using Sony VTC 6 or VTC 5A.
EDIT: Thanks, BlueSwordM. You posted while I was typing.
aren’t all our flashlight purchases impulse buys?

Yes… it actually 21000 @ turn on… then 20000 lumen… I have not seen many triple xhp70.2 that do 20k lumen… TA driver is one of the main reason that push led harder…

Not all of them.
Sometimes I need upwards of five minutes to convince myself that I need another light! :partying_face:

goshdogit, are prices firm? Interested in both? What are primary differences in output, etc… from both lights? Came on board late with Haikelite.

You’re just a few minutes too late. The 4000K 80CRI model just sold.
The primary difference is the color temperature of the emitters.
I don’t have a way to measure output, but they appear equal in brightness to my eyes.
MT09Rs with these emitters consistently measure around 20,000 lumens by most folks.

Dang, I wanted both too. I did not see posting because I looked around on other posts. Not \buy sell.

The ‘new post’ notification was probably a false alarm.
I edited my last post to remove “pending payment” since the light is indeed sold. :partying_face:
me…? I get it early this week
I loaned a co-worker my Q8 and he called to say how insane it was…I wonder if I could trust him with this
