Haiklite MT09R GB replacement drivers

If you are tired of waiting I make this special offer for my replacement driver for 13.2€ shipped priority air mail

How is it even possible for a mailed item to take two months? Some discount shipping that puts stuff on a round the world container ship that is near Antarctica now? Sitting in some container in Hong Kong waiting an empty spot on a two prop airplane? Some bike courier pedaling towards Europe? How is two months or longer even possible (if shipped) without artificially delaying it or just sitting in some warehouse next to the Ark of the Covenant??

I am only asking someone from HL or Dale give us update. How long are they expecting us to wait? How about if pay them a few months after I received the light?

sadly not too uncommon for chinese companies to leave buyers like that… ive read many similar stories of that since i joined BLF…

The problem here and with the GT is that PayPal protection has expired.

@Lexel perhaps I will order one from you, but I am waiting of an respond of the banggood support, have hard flickering on low with my MF04S. Than I will order the drivers and some other parts together.

I’m not naive to believe that the driver actually shipped out 2 months ago and it’s in limbo somewhere. I’m just saying that I believe that HL will fulfill their promise on the replacement driver, eventually. However, it’s easy for me to say since I already dished out extra money for a replacement driver and I have a working light.

Hi Lexel,
Does your driver work for both the MT09 70xhp and 35xhp models or will there be one for each of those two models? Also, what is the exact difference between yours and TA’s driver with regards to performance.

Thank you!

This is just XHP70

I have a 7.5A Buck driver for XHP35s, then you can bridge springs without killing the LEDs

Got this email from Dale today.

Hi xxx

Not sure if the parcel is lost or not. We will send you a new driver today.

Address is the same as before?

Great. Dale, how about my replacement driver? I am going to email him again.

I got an answer from Dale, that he want to ship a driver to me.

Is the driver supposed to ship out 2 months ago? Dale emailed me over 2 months ago about my replacement driver is on its way. I emailed him again a few days ago no response.
I have nothing against Dale, I am just asking some customer service.

He told me not only that he will ship one to me, he told that he had shipped a driver to me 2 months ago and if I have received it. I dont know what to belive. But he will resend a driver.

With the flashlight itself I got a shipping confirmation with tracking number before C-New-Year but after asking him after his holliday, it was sent out (after CNY) as I have seen it in the tracking informations. There may be some reason for this delay and perhaps he didnt told the truth because he wanted to keep his face.
Perhaps he has much to do and no spare time and thats why something takes a bit longer.

With the driver and the communication about, maybe it is similar. But I find it realy good and honorable, that he still answers our emails (better late as never) and he want to ship it. He could have been ignoring our mails and keep the drivers.
He did not answered my BLF-PNs but after writing a mail I got this answers within some days.
I hope you other guys will get answers too. And I hope we will get the better driver soon.

Dale, if you are reading this. Are you going to take care of the business or just ignore everyone? You need to let us know if you have a hard time to get the replacement driver to us.

It appears we’ve been ignored.

Anyone have a suggestion on what to do with this light? I’d like to replace the driver at least, possibly the LEDs. I don’t want to spend a ton more on this lemon though. Is there anything readily available or will we have to get something custom?

Dale email me last week to let me know he had re-ship my replacement driver. I think he is using Hk post so no tracking number. According to him I should receive it in 20 to 35 days. Hopefully it will arrive this time.

You can message Lexel about a replacement driver, but he might be out of commission since he had surgery on his hand. I don’t think TA has any drivers left but you can always ask. TA was modding the MT09R for a fee, so he might still continue to do so.

I messaged Dale about the driver again, so I’ll let you guys know if he responds. But at this point, I don’t expect to receive a replacement driver from HL.

Sadly I am sold out of drivers at the moment but if there is enough interest I can look into getting another batch.

I had assumed everyone would have drivers from Dale by now so I planned my last batch to run out before that happened so I would not be stuck with them.

How many people did received replacement driver?

I recived and 2 other people from Poland.
