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

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.

Would it be gaudy or in bad taste to quote some of these reviews and comparisons in the OP?

Please do post them.. Everyone needs to know that this driver you have designed has made this light a major player and at the currant price no one can beat it when it comes to price and performance.

LOL I am waiting to see you order come across my screen... I will be shipping these lights to TA for any emitter changes as well as the driver install Thursday and Friday. Larger bulk shipments cost me much less than shipping them one at a time...

Nope not at all! Quote all you want. It would be very useful for newcomers that don’t want to read through hundreds or thousands of posts get a cliff note of this thread.

@Texas Ace, why not take a Blue version? Blue is best color, not green.

BTW, is there a way we could mod the TA driver to support 9V emitters, like the new 149AM? Would be quite interesting to see if that was possible with the XHP35 version.

I also just added 4 SC01units that are in this same shipment. In case anyone is interested in the SC01 normal retail is 69.99 and my price is 49.99.

It is a 26650 powered light that had it;s own charging units built in and is a really nice little thrower.

If I remember the range correctly it's 500 meters and a 26650 gives you a nice run time.

I just posted these a couple of minutes ago

And come on guys take you face from your palm and get these while you can. I am dead serious when I say that these are all of the Blue and Green lights left at all. And the factory will not be making these colors available again for the MT09R.

I almost forgot. This is also the only MT09R lights I can order at all for about 6 to 8 more weeks until the new driver is complete and being factory installed.

So when these are gone so is this price. In 6 to 8 more weeks when they begin shipping the lights with TA's new driver Haikelite will give me no choice in retail pricing. It is called MOP pricing and basically gives the factory the right to say what a dealer has to charge for a product, This is a very common practice.

So the units I have left are not only the last of these 2 colors but the last that I will be able to sell at 40 percent below retail...

Ok what? Good thing I bought the Blue version. Is there a reason there aren’t going to be any flashy colors anymore?

TA I just sent you a message on Skype you may want to have a look at.

Yes, the blue is very nice as well but don’t think I can afford one of each and I do not have any green lights, I used to have some blue ones (although not this nice of a blue).

Electrically it is possible although the 149AM uses a different footprint and I am not sure how you would actually mount the LED in the flashlight. The pads also look very small, I doubt it will preform as good when overdriven as well sadly just from a quick glance.

That was for the group buy only.. I just talked them into selling me the ones left over from the original group buy... Dale says it just costs too much to mass produce that many different colors.

I just had an order come in... I need you to please send me a PM and let me know for sure that you want it shipped to TA. I am pretty sure you do but I have to make sure,

Check your Skype messages lol

Still got plenty left... I really want to get CV these sold at the current price and now have to buy and install the drivers and mark the price up..

Still plenty of time.

And this light is more of a thrower? I have the MT03 and I really like the flood. It just lit up my path.

The 70.2 has a very unique beam. It throws more than MT03 but I would still consider the 70.2 on the floodier side. I find it having the optimal beam in terms of practical use where you want to get a clear view of your surrounding and also see far ahead.

You guys getting me really interested in the WW. I’ve been using 3x Nichia 219B 3000k in a S2+ host for the past week for my nightime EDC and I absolutely love the tint on that one. Unlike the 3000k Cree XPL and many modern day WW lightbulbs that are very yellow due to being far above the BBL, the 219B seems to be below the BBL and doesn’t look yellow at all. It has a very nice warm rosy tint, which resembles a beautiful early morning sunrise.

How does the tint look on the 70.2 WW? Is it more on the green/yellow or rosy/orange side?

I just spoke to day in the phone a few minutes ago and the extended tube is set up in a 4S configuration and can be used with the MT09R 35 higfh and the MT07S. There will be another tube coming out soon for a 2S2P configuration.

Also the charging unit. He is supposed to be send me the instructions manual for it. the translated version has not yet been completed.

It is set up in a 2S2P configuration.

I have no idea where anyone got a email from him saying otherwise. I even asked him if he had told that to someone in an email. He does not remember doing that. This does not mean it didn't happen but he does not remember doing it.

His daughter is out of the hospital and recovering well. I did not ask for details. In China that would be considered rude.

Thanks guys...
