The thing that really burns me (pun intended) is that there is a better, fixed version that has been offered and delivered for a lower price than us early adopters could have had the light.
I want to like this light. I love the form factor, it could be great, but it isn’t. Haikelite promised to fix it but they haven’t.
If we could get together enough people, maybe we could have a run of custom drivers done. How many people would be interested? What are people willing to pay?
Ahh jebus, I can’t believe I missed Lexel’s post… I’ll contact him. Otherwise TA, if you do another run, let me know, I’d definitely be interested in one.
Same for me, I received a pm back in June the replacement driver had been shipped. Emailed Haikelite multiple times, but never received a response. PayPal protection ran out (which is my own fault for letting happen, I guess I’m too trusting sometimes). 4 months have passed and nothing ever showed up. I’ve given up at this point. It is very unfortunate Haikelite feels ok about taking people’s money for a product they rushed to market that had flaws and defects from the very beginning and appears to be ignoring requests to make it right for some of us. O well, I won’t ever be considering another light from them.
I`ve given up too.
I have ordered a 7,5A Buck-Driver from Lexel for my XHP35-Version.
This driver and the color (sand tan) will make this flashlight unique. And I think I will sell it without loosing money.
But first, I will have to wait for the driver from Lexel.
I too am curious if it was actually shipped recently or had been lost all these months and actually just showed up. Mine never showed up and they never answered any messages or email either
