I’ve got the MF01 too, the 219C version. Both are truly amazing lights, but once the MT09R has a solid TA driver then the Haikelite is the clear winner.

Thanks, that is what I thought too after seeing all the recent posts by TA. I wasn’t so sure before that. :slight_smile:

I have read the other two threads as well. I have just forgotten that they exist as there aren’t as much updates on those two threads. All the updates seems to be mainly on the GB thread.

OMG! This light is now a work of art after the Texas Ace upgrade/mod! Was just out in a field blasting 4000k 80cri’s…awesome tint (everything is brown here right now…took it up against another 9000lumen CW light I have and this thing had way more throw and the tint a nice natural yellowish, while the CW was certainly stark white and blueish. Could definitely tell Texas Ace’s light with its tint was a better light up than the cool white. CW was kinda washed out, glarey…while the 70.2 4000k 80CRI was much much brighter, but didnt seem to throw any glare. Almost a magical tint compared to some CW’s and NW’s I have. It almost did appear 3x brighter…if one can even see that…it certainly had way more throw and filled up a much bigger area of the field and trees I was at.

Thanks again Texas Ace for this upgrade…it is quite amazing! Be nice if Haikelite was putting these out for less than the $250 it cost me (base plus upgrades). If they could guarantee they were making the light Texas Ace sent me…they would knock it out of the park and light up the forums. Its like an insane Q8 now!

Ramping is perfect speed, and its so reassuring to watch it obviously step down as it gets too hot.

A+

Second this - I got mine from TA about two weeks ago. It’s insane. I got NW 70.2 emitters, the tint is great and his Narsil UI is amazing.

MT09R with new driver is rated at 21000 lumens.

I hope we get new driver from Hakelite

I think so Mr. Kangaroo… In the meantime I’ll just enjoy the MT09R with the stock driver. :sunglasses:

nooo

i want the latest and greatest driver :smiley: :smiling_imp:

Waited for several months for the new driver is my greatest patient :disguised_face:

Here’s a video of a whole bunch of chargers:

Shame Dale ignored me on that charger… idk whats his problem nice way to ignore someone who spent over 100 bucks too u… no more money to them.

Just email him again. He usually replies within a couple of days. Two times I got a reply from him and it was close to midnight on a Friday in Shenzhen China; the guy works hard.

I WILL NEVER BOTHER THAT MAN AGAIN !!! CLEAR ENOUGH ??!

Dale replied to my email last night.

Sometime he is busy/ unwell so give him the opportunity

Suit yourself.

Haikelite has updated their site with new information regarding the new driver for the MT09R. This info can be found in the first post. :sunglasses:

Oh yeah, finally.

For some reason, I thought Haikelite was going under, since Dale was not answering any of my emails regarding the fact that I payed for a replacement driver and lens for my Haikelite MT01.

Also, holy crap 24 000 lumens!
Are they bypassing every spring on their lights or what?!

When will it be avail to purchase? I want to buy this or a DX80 but so far I haven’t seen much movement from Haikelite in the last few months. Who will the light be distributed through?

I think i saw the blue on the site and ITS SO PRETTY! I’d want the light in blue

I would suggest you to buy the DX80. Because it has more fins for heat transfer, more LEDs which are not so much overdriven. And the Battery-Power / Lumen ratio is much better on the DX80. And you have more battery capacity in a similar small package. The DX80 can deliver similar lumens much longer than the Haikelite.
But the haikelite is smaler and handier.
It is your choice.

HL is obviously over rating their lights again. They are not using the 4000K 70.2 that Texas_Ace was using. Plus TA’s measurement of 24k lumen was a little bit high if I remember correctly.

HL should be rating them closer to 17k to 18k as I think that’s the lower end of the range with all springs bypassed.
