No, not interested in an assembled board. Been building dozens of my own, ordered probably about 100 OSHPark boards by now since February 2014.
I've had issues on the 7135 channel on my other high amp 2S cell builds: 16X XHP50 and MT03 with 3 XHP70.2's. Not completely resolved, been getting help from DEL. Dunno if Lexel has built anything true high amps in 2S, meaning maybe 20K lumens and up.

The board from Oshpark is tested and fits the light
The missing ground on switch pad is fixed and C3 and C4 pads added

Another faulty MF01. At this rate the MF01 seems to become a total disaster:

It seems like the lights weren’t tested before shipping. Not looking good.
Let’s see how Banggood responds.

I’ll take one NarsilM driver for the MF01 as well.

Ahh, ok - Thanx! I'll get an order in. My MF01 is still in transit. I'll check it out carefully when it arrives, post some stock #'s.
Finland? Oh boy. Maybe Lexel is gonna build a couple?

I’ll figure out myself as well. I’ve got two of those coming my way. Interestingly, it still doesn’t feel like a bad purchase; the price is just too good to take the risk, unlike with an Imalent DT70.

He uses Meco protected battery
You can see clearly when powering directly to turbo protection kicks in as well when shut off
This is a poor battery fault not the light itself

This makes sense. And that’s certainly good news for the MF01. Also kudos to Meco, because their protection is working well.

Nice find.
Why do people think they can install 4,000 mah protected cells in a 12k lumen light? That is false mah rating for sure on those cheap cells.
High current lights need high current cells. Good ones.

Meco are crappy batteries too bad HKJ has not tested them
But 4000mAh on the label says all you need to know

Unless you hang here on BLF (or CPF) it is not that easy to know.

Ironically, four pieces of 5000 mAh Ultrafire cells seem to be able to power a 20000 lumen Ultrafire Skyray King clone, so 12000 lumens should be no problem….

I Just received the Nichia from the last sale. Seems like a great light with good weight too it. All the LEDs are working well. Although I can’t see anymore from looking side on at the light on turbo during the middle of the day. I am using button top 30qs, they went in fairly easy.

Here is a solution for those wanting access to low mode to reserve the night vision.
Always put on low mode before you switch off the light. This mode will memorised on low and when you need turbo, you can access by double clicks.
Not the best method but im happy with it for now. . I suspect they will amend the driver to have low mode direct access.

Or you can unscrew the tailcap half turn to cut power, then screw on to power again. Light indicates when power is cut off for convenience. Light will turn on in low mode as well. Also not really elegant… but this works as well.
