Texas_Ace MT09R Modding thread, 20k+ lumens, 80CRI, can start fires? Yes please.

Yes, suppliers lying to the manufactures is shockingly common in China. LED’s tints are even worse since very few manufactures can test to see if they are what they claim or even care.

Been dealing with this for months trying to find SST-20 LED’s and been flat out lied to a few times so far with the LED’s all being from the normal FB4 bin as everyone else but the supplier claiming they were FA1 bin. :person_facepalming:

I could be interested by your drivers.

What is the price and Lumens and time usability ?

Thank a lot !

I don’t have anymore drivers for the MT09R sadly. Although the red drivers that come in the MT09R now can be modded to be like the ones I used to make. In which case it does not take very long to do the work if you can’t do it yourself.

I could sell my light……

That might be your best option.

Does anyone have idea of XHP bining on this MT09 puppy ?

Cause I need to build a much more powerful image projector ( than my SR90 olight based one)
So I hesitate to build from scratch or use this as base.
Considering that I will reuse all my optical stuff.

Thanks for your advises :slight_smile:

I don’t have the skills or time to mod a light. I would like to know if you mod any other lights? (emisar, fireflies, sofirn Q8, etc.)

In stock form the LED bin varies depending on the tint. I am not sure what they use now days but in the past the NW was the best bin, something like an N2 IIRC. The WW and CW were lower bins.

I do take on mods for other lights from time to time. Just depends on if I have time and if the parts to do the mod are available.

I will save up and purchase the MT09R and have you perform your magic, Thanks.

Well, my xhps in my mto9r finally smoked. So i took the driver and used it in my imalent dx80… it was a lot to figure out… but my question is, im running all 8 xhp70’s in parallel on 2s4p batt pack from dx80, just rewired. Can i add a second fet chip on the empty spot and run 2 together.?. And can i buy these drivers still?

Yes, you should be able to add a second FET, although honestly you would be better off replacing the other one as well so both are the same model, from the same batch for the best chance at success.

I do not offer these drivers anymore, the designs should be in the Texas Avenger driver thread, if not I have them floating around someplace.

How do I contact you? I’m new here btw. Thank you.

It’s a pleasure to have you onboard, SuperSin!

Once you have enough posts, you’ll be able to PM BLF members. :+1:

ah that makes sense. I swear to god I did not see a PM button anywhere :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

You can contact me once you have PM abilities but I will let you that sadly I do not have anymore of these mt06r kits.

1 Thank

Yeah, that’s what I was going to ask you about. Years ago I bought about 9-10 built lights from Mountain Electronics and since a couple years have passed, I wanted to buy again but it seems they stopped selling built flashlights. Started searching around the web and found this forum, seems I’m a bit late here also. Anyhow, let me know when you ever modded lights for sale again. Thank you for your reply.

Yeah, most of the old timers are out of the game now but https://skylumen.com/ it still kicking it seems. If you want modded lights he would be my go to.
