Haikelite MT09R Test/Review Beam video footage.

Get these while the price is this low... I am hoping that Dale included the prototype in a shipment that he sent out yesterday but, he is traveling right now and very hard to get on the mobile phone.

There was some asking about shipping to Hawaii... I have that taken care of so anyone that lived in Hawaii please feel free to order as I now know shaping will not be very much more that here in the Continental U.S..

Also I got an email while I was sleeping last night and only got to it just a few minutes ago.

Here are some of the models that are in the shipment on the way by DHL to me now.

SC02

MT03 latest version.

MTO7S 70.2 version it will be after the Holiday before I can get the 35 High model

Also my MTO9R 35 high version should be in this shipment as well.

I will get them all added to the stores inventory as soon as they arrive and you can of course find them here He said She Said Sales

Hey Terry, have you tried to do any amp draw measurements on the 70.2 light? It might be tricky to measure with that tail cap design.

Would you estimate it pulls about 20 to 22 amps on turbo? (assuming you measure 15k output and compensate for driver efficiencies)

I think it should be a whole lot more than 20 to 22 amps. Where did you get this value? Do you have a calculation? Thanks.

Edit: I think doubling the value from 40 to 44 amps will get you closer to actual value.

At 15k lumen, each emitter puts out about 5k lumen. The 70.2 emitter needs about 6A to do 5k lumen. So that’s 18A. Then you have to compensate for driver efficiency and reflector/lens losses, etc… You end up with about 20 to 22 Amps. Roughly speaking.

Sorry you’re right, my bad. :person_facepalming:

I may check the current on my sample once my shipment of parts arrive. Checking the current on these is a little tricky and even a small mistake can damage not only the light but the cells as well.

Let me get everything situated and I still may give it a try.

Hi everyone,

This post is for my Canadian neighbors.

May of you have been asking me about being about to order from my U.S online store.

I spoke to Dale the same day that many of you asked me about it and her told me that I was welcome to take on the sales for Haikelite in Canada.

The problem I was having was and still is the shipping costs.

Well I am happy to tell you now that I have been on the phone (Yes on Saturday) for the last 2 hours with USPS customer service.

They are going to have a sales team member contact me next week and we will set up a more permanent and simple shipping console for me shipping to Canada.

For now, I can ship to Canada but, I must tell you ahead of time that there will be a shipping charge.

For the customers here is the U.S. is costs me about $10.80 to ship out a light such as the MTO9R and I ship that free, I just loose that shipping charge from my own profit.

What I am going to do is that I will still cover that first $10.80 shipping that I allow the U.S. customers and you will have to pay the remainder of the shipping charge.

As my sales increase and I ship more and more my shipping charges will get lower and lower and I will of course adjust the shipping charges you have to pay as they get lower.

Shipping prices to Canada vary depending on what type of shipping method I use. So far without meeting with the sales team and only going by what I was told by the customer service people I can ship an MT09R to Canada for $16.80.

I am sorry that I have to charge shipping at all, but it was just high enough that I had to charge, or I would have lost a very large part of profit.

The shipping method for now will be 1st Class Package International Service. And I will be totally honest, I am told it should only take 3 to 7 days but there are cases it takes up to 21 days.

I just finished setting up the POS system on my website for shipping to Canada for the MT09R 70.2.

I will also set up the other products up with the same shipping option as soon as they arrive and have been tested and placed into inventory.

So, if this is something you are interested in please visit And you may order whenever you are ready.

PS give me a couple of hours to complete the shipping option for the SC26 “Little Fatty” I must calculate the weight and measurements before adding it.

Now I can officially Haikelite USA and Canada Official as I will be selling and taking care of service for both countries. Thank you so much for allowing me time to get it all worked out.

Okay my Canadian friends I now have the SC26 "little Fatty" added so that you guys can pre-order it just lie anyone else.

Again I am sorry but it is going to be $10.00 shipping.

Later on when hopefully I am shipping 200 or 300 units a month I can cut that shipping in half because USPS gives a very large discount once you are shipping over 200 units in a single month.

USPS will also be emailing me over the next couple of weeks to let me know anytime that I have qualified for discounted shipping.

Anytime they email me and discount my shipping charges I will update the shipping charges on my website and even refund any money for an item that may not have yet shipped like the SC26. By the time I start shipping all of those orders out I may have qualified for a better shipping rate and if that is the case I will refund the difference.

Thanks for wanting to shop with us...

Ok, to get things going: We have lux measurements of 196.000 Lux for the 35 Hi from the GB, which equals to 885m. Im not impressed. 70.2 was measured with 96.000 Lux which is nice (620m).

Thanks casi290665!

Im very interested in your measurements Terry. :slight_smile:

Does repeated cycling a hot light back to turbo harm the LEDs? If not, why bother with the thermal stepdown?

Yes it hurts the leds. It hurts the electronic components and your skin if you touch it. It’s best to not let it get too hot, though. All things in moderation.

I’ve got hotrod lights that I never bothered to turn on the thermal protection. The heat in my hand tells me when to turn it down.

Does repeatedly cycling a hot light back to turbo harm the LEDs? If not, why bother with the thermal stepdown?

stepdown the first time to protect, u must be a fool to keep turning off and on again and run this light with that many lumen if it gets scorching hot then nobody should complain if light gets destroyed…

Hi, Anyone has the final measured throw number of MT09R XHP35 version?
I tried to find the info but can’t find it. Thanks.

I don’t think there are final throw numbers. As long as there are no final lumen values, lux values will fluctuate as well. Lumen values are reported predominantly from 4000~5000 lumen (consumers) to 6000 lumen (Terry’s batch of 35 lights). One more recent test shows 200k cd: Closed Official Haikelite MT09R *UPDATE Now including TA's Pricing for Emitter Upgrades* Closed - #1313 by casi29061965

Thanks for summarize it. Was disappointed and stop following it.
I don’t understand why Haikelite wants to bloat their lights throw number, feels like stupid marketing idea, not R&D idea. Make them look bad at the end. But their lights are good quality to me.

It was supposed to peak 1000m throw and have 300,000cd the XHP35 HI but sadly the final units didnt reach that for some reason and even more weird why post that kind of numbers if not live up to it ? :frowning:

The only light that comes close to this value is Terry’s 35 that initially did about 6000 lumens. With a spring bypass he got close to 7000 lumens, and the lux value should be close to 300k cd I guess.

Spring bypass = loss of warranty
It is typical to DD driver: higher Vf = lower current

Does anyone really care about warranties? I always void the warranty shortly after getting a light. I’m weird like that.

The 35 light does not use DD, does it? We know the 70.2 light does.

I’m not sure what kind of driver the 35 lights use. Is it possible to use a FET driver with such a large voltage difference and not get too much current and burn up the emitters?

I was thinking it might be a buck driver like you see a lot of other 4 cell (16.8v) to 12v emitter lights.

The two drivers do look very similar. I really don’t know.
