Haikelite MT09R Test/Review Beam video footage.

wow looks awesome thanks for the pics and video!

Thanks for the video, dont tease your neighbors too much, hehe.

I on out bounds , not have a good camera.

Pok maybe u can do some beamshots with your phone ?

Yeah, im not sure about those shots either, but thanks anyway Pok!

Both shots should have the same fixed settings, otherwise you cant compare it really. So we have 5000 MT07 lumen vs 7500 MT09R lumens. The light intensity (beam pattern) isnt comparable cause of the cameras auto mode, but range is at least a bit. In the distance, i think, the MT09R is just a bit brighter than the MT07, which is rated at 750m. So maybe, if this MT09R also uses the old driver and puts out about 5000 lumens, this would explain the pictures. And you are from China, so maybe you got one of those samples with faulty drivers?

Otherwise, if the light is fine, im not impressed with the range yet. But we have to wait for pictures made with fixed settings in manual mode first.

@ Pok: Maybe, if possible, could you repeat those shots with manual camera mode?

That packaging is atrocious. Hope the box was well protected but judging by the condition, it wasn’t. The light itself looks magnificent.

My smartphone cannot set in manual.

MT07 CW sliced dome 4S version : 750lux
MT09R 3 x XHP35 Hi CW : 740lux

Ah ok, but thanks for taking a look!

Hm is this sliced dome from the factory or did you do it yourself? I think those two lights should not be comparable by lux values. The MT09R should have way more lux, it should throw over 1000m, compared to the 750 from the MT07.

No way for MT09R XHP35 Hi over 1000m
my MT07 sliced dome is around 120,000cd. (If I remember, I sliced it myself )
I have all my database flashlights over 500+ .
I on out bounds, no tools .

Hm then you maybe have on of the faulty units (with only about 5000 lumen, would match to the pictures you have shown, both look to have the same brightness there) or Haikelites range information for the light is incorrect.

If i may ask, where did you get your light from?

I think this is the case. I’m pretty sure Pok knows what he’s doing. But of course we all should wait for more shots and measurements.

If he can shave his own LEDs, im sure he knows what to do :smiley: :+1:

So i guess Terry will be very interested in this…

If this is a sub performing light, then Terry/Haikelite USA already acknowledged this. First small batch of 5 lights (XHP35) have sub performing drivers.

I know, i meant interested in where Pok did get his light from. :slight_smile:

I got my MT09R from dealer in my country Thailand.



Thanks for the pictures. And sorry that i associated “the land of smiles” with china, now i know better :).

Haikelite USA Official or Terry is looking for those few lights with a faulty driver that only have about 5000 lumens, maybe yours is one of them. But i dont know how to find out if the driver is the old one. Those few lights were samples for dealers, but never meant to be sold.

Thanks jason for the quick beamshot video… your camera skill is great too… by the way, i enjoy city lights too. Which country are you in?

Just a thought.

If MT09R xhp35 have no improvement with throw or lumens output over MT07 then there is no reason to buy MT09R :open_mouth:

Thanks Jason for the very high quality video. The flashlight is beautiful but the light output is a bit underwhelming. However, since this is not using the improved production driver, we can’t really judge yet.

It will outclass that from ive been reading here by far so no worry brighter and more throw then mt07… remember the mt07 uses xhp70 emitter where the mt09 will use tripple xhp35 so it will be a more focused and better beam for throw compared to the mt07.
