Limited edition MT09R in Green and Khaki/Tan. 
Old Specifications: Emitter: 3x CREE XHP35 – Hi / 3x CREE XHP70.2 Material: 6061 Aluminum Alloy ; HAIII finish Batteries: 4× 18650 Max Brightness: 7500 lumens on 35hi version / 15000 lumens on cree xhp70.2 version Brightness mode: Low low>Low > Medium>High>Turbo + Stepless control TA Driver , Current regulation on Low Low > Low> Medium>High ; Size: 169mm length x 74mm x51 mm Netweight: 650 gram TA as in Texas Avenger? Current regulation on all modes except turbo, so turbo is FET driven? If so shouldn’t you get a lot more output? 
Absolutely awesome specs. Deep reflectors for quite some throw, even for the XHP70.2 variant I think. Just beautiful design with awesome machined details. And… there is a green variant as well…
Interesting… hope they have finalized spec soon.
The pictures from their web page :
Maybe you can tell I really like the green
I was told there would not be any more new lights from them this month...
Well that does not exist in blue, otherwise I would have to buy.
I see a tripod mount

I see a very nice light around the tripod mount…
Green? Fine! I am waiting for the v2.0 version without bugs.
If it’s indeed Texas Avenger, this light is interesting.
Otherwise it’s somewhat interesting.
Regardless because of HT-08 I won’t buy before seeing a review.
TA driver design and stepless UI….remind me of some sort of narsil like UI.
This light will be really interesting and samples will be send quickly for interesting reviews
Sexy .
Nico -.-
Many people asked for an MT03 with bigger throw capability (and an SMO reflector), now, there it is
It was a good decision to be reluctant with buying an MT03 II XHP70.2. Now, this is my main interest from Haikelite.
Narsil like UI is a definite welcome on this kind of light.
Still, I am not sure, if there is any chance to ask them to make it available in a warmer tint (and/or higher CRI)
Also, if not that, at least they could sell the MCPCBs used in their lights, so we could use an emitter of our choice.
Yes freeme, the Chinese are full of surprises.
Awesome light btw.
If price is right I will buy 2.
U know my rule
Nico -.-
I particularly insisted in a precise table with output vs runtime
No surprise or false informations.
Let’s see the feedback
I wonder how either configuration throws compared to the MF-02 ?
We should get sushi Carol
--------------------------------
G'day mate, ow ya garn?
Yeah, nah good mate
MF02 throws like 500k ~ 600k cd I think. I was thinking maybe the XHP35 HI version of MT09R throws about 150k ~ 200k cd? Just a guess.
Thanks HIKARInoob

G'day mate, ow ya garn?
Yeah, nah good mate
3 xhp 70.2, i was hoping for something more 15000lumen, maybe 18000lm
Forgot my pen
I feel like my eyes wouldn’t be able to even notice a difference between 15k vs 18k lumens
BLF (GT, Q8, A6)
Haikelite (MT03 TA, SC01)
Astrolux (EC01, FT03, MF-01, S1, S42)
Sofirn (C8A, SP32A, SF14, SP40)
Emisar (D4, D4S)
[Convoy L6, Utorch UT02, KDLITKER C8.2, Inova T4R]
wouldnt 2 × 26650 batteries be better?
...where Frugal meets with Flashlight!

15000 lumens? and HaikeLite has always been a budget light (at least to me) Hope this one also has a great price!
Edit: I found their rating on the MT03 is 12,000 lumens. Isn’t it 9000? MT03
Appears similar to the original MT07. If so I wish they would have used 20700 batteries. The circumference would have minimal change but the length would give it a better balance, better grip as the tube is too short on the MT07 and longer run time.
Looking forward to an in depth review. Until then what would the experts guess the throw to be for each of the LED listed and the CRI range for the NW?
Finally, a lanyard loop. I’ve been using a screw in loop in the tripod hole, but having both is even better because I can do things like attach a Gopro to it, or like a true flashoholic, another flashlight.
The low mode should be lower.
The original was downgraded to 9k lumens afaik. Not sure on the new one. I think I was their first buyer, but I’m not doing that again until they have someone here verify its rating. Hopefully the MT09R can meet or exceed its rating.
The low mode should be lower.
I believe the MT03 II was upgraded to XHP70.2. Its max rating of 4300 lm is not much more than the 70’s 4000 lm. However, I have read that the .2 produces considerably less heat than the original. If so, it could be that HaikeLite felt comfortable driving the 70.2 closer to it’s max output.
I’m going to guess that this costs less than 20% more than the MT03 II. Same emitters, but 40mm longer. The driver cost may cost more up front, but can eliminate the need to develop drivers, and more importantly, should minimize the cost of dealing with defective drivers.
The low mode should be lower.
I really like the green one. Its a nice change! When will it be available to buy and what is the approximate cost.

I like the Green one.
It should be ready before Christmas. Price is not known yet.
