55c is considered “safe” by most standards in the sense it will not cause burns before reflexes kick in and you can let go.
You can actually hold 55c without damage for a little bit, it is hot but possible. I do this regularly.
It is setup by temperature, the manual should explain the process but once you enter the calibration you simply turn the light off when it is as hot as you would want it to get and that becomes the new set temp for the light.
That is quite thin. As expected from just looking at the picture.
I think they could have gone with thicker wire, like 0,7mm, or even 0,8mm. But that still is a better decision that either leaving the steel springs alone, or bypassing the springs, which comes with a huge risk from the manufacturer.
I’m home. The batteries at 4.01,4.05V and it puts out with these 19950 lumens. Now I putted them on the charger and wait because I want to use same set as the stock 18300 lumens measurement.
I did a video on setting the temperature. If your in ramping mode, make sure you ramp down and hold to get into the menu. Normal NarsilM is usually 8 secs, but I think NarsilM on the MT09R you hold down for 20 or so seconds?
Anyway, after that it should be the same menu settings and procedure.
Aaand it already died :cry:
I tried to measure lumens at 30sec. Right at 30s the light turned off. Or I thought. Now it has ramping to 400 lumens and instead of turbo it barely glowing leds. I think the fet died.
So don’t bypass your springs with wires!
Yes it has burnt smell. I made a video of the behaviour.
And opeled it up. The fet burned. I don’t know but the driver has two places for fet. Does haikelite cut corners and used one instead of two? TA designed it to use two because the high current or not?
I think it was also melted the solder and raised by the pressure when the magic smoke came out.
I did not find any datasheet of this manufacturer by googleing the markings.
