Texas_Ace MT09R Modding thread, 20k+ lumens, 80CRI, can start fires? Yes please.

Do you know if Vinh measures the X7vn at startup or 30s? If he measures at 30s, then given your MT09R is 14.8% brighter, means it could be 24k lumens at 30s too. But whatever that 21k is, the MT09R is 24k relative to that standard.

You’ll be able to see the green when you receive mine. I ordered green from Terry. Hopefully the color the color looks good. I never had a green light either, so decided to give it a shot to be different.

I can’t wait to see it, I have been hoping out on buying one until I could see one for myself.

I just added an option to the OP for laser engraving the TA logo on the light (in black and white obviously). I had someone ask so figured I would add it.

I can also engrave anything else you might want on this light or basically any other light, just contact me for a quote.

It’s a very unusual green tint, and I’m totally hooked on it. It’s so bad I want the SC26 just because of the green… The specs I don’t even care about…

lol, you have piped my intrest for sure.

I dont know… its too complicated… we can say mt09r TA is 22k to 24k lumen. :slight_smile:

I just got out of the endless flashlight hole and now I feel I’m falling back in again… $220 for 22k+ lumen isn’t bad at all if you look at other products out there… someone convince me to buy or not to buy!! lol

I am just happy it is not over rated, I am not worried about under rated.

Yes… modded acebeam or olight 21000 lumen light will cost around $335-$350… yes you are saving money… TA driver is the best.

Don’t let this influence you but these lights can be dangerous. :smiling_imp:

STOP IT!!! :cry:

ummm…… Soooo… how long can max 22k lumen run for until it steps down or gets too hot to hold…
My Emisar D4 sets my lunch box on fire and paper cup on fire with 4300 lumen… I can’t imagine the heat on 22k lumen lol

My daughter is going to college next year and any work TA does I have arranged to be sure that you still get the 2 year warranty...

The biggest reason is if these don't sell while I'm in Arizona then I will have to pay TA for all of the left over drivers and the price will go back to retail which is $175.00 and that's with stock emitters.

Which even using the stock emitters and TA's driver you still get 20k lumen output. So right now is the time 120.00 for the light that is around 40 percent off. Then 20 bucks for TA's driver and even stock emitters you got 20k lumen and can actually set your morning newspaper on fire of you choose to.

Almost forgot I have the only remaining stock of the 2 best selling colors that will not be available again even after the new driver comes out in the light stock...

Whew that's as well as I can do...

I have not timed it myself but I am guessing around ~60-90 seconds depending on what you calibrate the thermal settings to in turbo.

With the ramp at 50% you should get about twice that or a bit more.

It gets properly hot for sure but it can also shed the heat surprisingly well. I have a “Mega M6” I build and it gets hot faster and stays hot much longer even though it is almost half the lumens.

The nice thing is you can simply turn down the power if the heat is too much.

Here are comparable lights for comparison:

Acebeam X80 $299 - 25k advertised lumens (OTF 21-23k)

Skylumen Acebeam X45VN https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/acebeam-x45vn-flood-search-light-pre-order $350 - 25k lumens

” Skylumen Olight X7VN”:https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/olight-x7vn-maurader-pop-can-king $335 - 21k lumens

Per Newlumen’s ceiling bounce comparisons, his MT09R TA is 24k lumens relative to Skylumen measurements. I think the MT09R TA not only beats those in price, I think it beats them in quality considering you get to choose better looking 80 CRI NW tint and a better ramping UI. In contrast, the Acebeam X80 UI is just awful.

Hey lol don't leave me out... I'm knocking 40 percent off these.

I think the MT09R has the best beam. Don’t forget the beam profile people, it’s really amazing. Of course it’s subjective… :sunglasses:

Do me a favor and post that on the old gro oh p buy thread too plesse.

I really need most of these to sell while I am in Arizona (which is where they are)

Demand was so high when I finally talked Dale into letting go for the last of these colors I thought they would have almost sold out by now...

oh man… that 2 year warranty and approval of modding by HaikeLite… The high CRI and NW…… I can’t…. resist…. :person_facepalming:

That's what I'm hoping...

And guys getting approval to keeping the warranty was extremely hard. But as long as the emitter swap is done by TA and is the correct type of LED 70.2 for a 70.2 model than the warranty stays good.

I also still have 1 35 high. It already has the new TA driver installed and is ready to go. It is a CW version and I can ship it to TA as well for an emitter swap if you so choose.

Thanks for the support.
