There's something odd with the MT07 "Buffalo". Banggood says the CW is 8,000lm (N4 flux bin) and the NW is 4,500lm only (N2 flux bin). I wonder what "upgrade" version they are offering? HaikeLite could have used the P2 flux bin for the MT07 as they did with the upgraded MT09R. Maybe Banggood's got wrong information listed on their website?
It needs to have a new driver to produce something near 8000 Lumen. But I dont think they have another because the TA-Driver is designed for one switch and this flashlight has two switches of cause.
I have modded mine to a Lexel-Driver and 12V MCPCB. See this flashlight as a modding host and you will get what you want.
Another problem of my MT07 was that the reflector came loose. So I had to add a O-Ring between lens and reflector, but I didnt had one in the correct size, so I used two opened C8 rings.

Agreed. I like most of what I see on that light, but I have a box full of lights waiting for me to get around to replacing their cool white LEDs. I don’t need to add another light to that box.
I in my Sphere. I hope its good calibrated, compared to some other spheres I got similar readings with some identical flashlights and other readings with the same flashlight model.
I think the reviews on the DN70 maxed out around 3300 lumen. Most 26650 70.2 lights exaggerate their output. Also, 3800 to 4500 lumen is a very big jump for a boost driver.
Have you been lurking around a flashlight from banggood and been waiting for a deal to come available for long time?
So here is the chance to get a nicer price:
