ALIVE: Haikelite MT07S only  US$46.72

I order MT07S White in 31.05 but still not sended and now BG close preorder for this. :rage:

(Sigh)

Really sorry to hear about your situation, FlashTom and CoolJB.

I ordered a white NW XHP35 MT07S on 5/24, and received it on 6/7, paying a few bucks for the Expedited shipping option, and it had the exotic braided paracord both pictured on the BG site and as above. I am very happy with the light, but I cringe at the negative experiences others are having with problems ordering and the whole SC26 fiasco… I can only hope these get resolved somehow, but now I’m leery of HL/BG for the future.

I still I’ll stand by the otherwise very good quality of build quality and performance of the 2 HL I do have, yet these negatives affecting others is not a good omen.

Thanks. I placed my order on 5/22, 2 days before you, and still missed out. I didn’t pay for expedited shipping. Is that the reason I missed out?

M4D_M4X · 2018-06-12T17:17:41.000Z

I ask banggood about the situation tomorrow

CoolJB · 2018-06-13T04:51:44.000Z

The plot thickens - NW version shows “In Stock” now and you can buy it instead of preordering… Still no shipment confirmation for me though.

BlueSwordM · 2018-06-13T04:55:12.000Z

24 hours processing

Seems like no problem there. Banggood ALWAYS shipped items within 24 hours when that sign was up.

M4D_M4X · 2018-06-13T05:40:14.000Z

ALL will be shipped this week

MaksVasilev · 2018-06-13T07:19:13.000Z

M4D M4X:

ALL will be shipped this week

~~Only black version now, but white still “Under Restocking”. It’s possible white version can shipped too?~~

1 minut ago white version shipped. Thanks for info.

Lux-Perpetua · 2018-06-13T07:29:28.000Z

I confirm my MT07S XHP70.2 NW has been shipped, too.
Thank you for asking BG, Martin! :+1:

CoolJB · 2018-06-13T14:05:19.000Z

Got my shipping notification too! :+1:

Thanks again Martin!

Today I received my MT07S XHP70.2 NW. So far, everything looks fine except for two imperfections in the reflector, see picture below. I hope these will not have any negative influence on the beam. Is this normal in terms of manufacturing tolerances or a reason one could seriously complain about?

BlueSwordM · 2018-06-19T18:12:05.000Z

Normal. As long as it does not manifest itself in the beam, it is okay.

Speed4goal · 2018-06-19T18:28:35.000Z

Just ordered a black nw xhp 35 thanks for this deal. I was pretty bummed out about it, it was looking haikelite was in trouble. Glad to see there making new product. I checked yesterday and it said in stock 24 hours processing time. Wife got it for me for my birthday today.
Using mad Maxs aff link of course. This will put those new vtc5s to good use.

Speed4goal · 2018-06-19T18:31:14.000Z

Every once in awhile a light will come with a minor imperfection in the reflector or finish. Just part of mass production. I see it with the convoy host every 1 in 10 host has a blemish like that on the reflector I’ve never seen it make a difference in the beam

Lux-Perpetua · 2018-06-30T18:13:03.000Z

I tried out my MT07S and found out that mine has some quality issues:

The flashlight makes a terrible rattling noise when I shake it back and forth, see youtube video: https://youtu.be/639NbOIsWG0

The reflector has two minor imperfections, not really a problem but ugly somehow

The dome of my XHP70.2 has a scratch on it

The side switch blinks blue even with almost fully charged (4.09V) protected Imalent 18650 cells. According to the manual it should not start to blink before the capacity is down to 50 percent.

FlashTom:

The side switch blinks blue even with almost fully charged (4.09V) protected Imalent 18650 cells. According to the manual it should not start to blink before the capacity is down to 50 percent.

This is a common problem I’ve discovered. You can “reset” this fault by physically removing the battery tube from the head (not just loosening 90 degrees) for a second or so, and tightening again. The light will turn solid blue again. However, after fondling with output the battery indicator will start blinking again as if battery voltage is below something like 3.7V (~50% capacity).
You can see this problem in this video here as well:

[video:]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56MWRHYo_2g[/video]

- batteries inserted at 6 min. 45 sec.

- switch on at 7 min. 16 sec. ==> solid blue light

mode switching at 7 min.43 sec., and at the 8 minute mark he finishes cycling modes and the button isn’t solid blue anymore.

Exact same issue with the SC26 (original version) in this video:

I’ve done two driver swaps for the MT07S, and the problem is still present unfortunately.

Thank you very much hIKARInoob! It worked! :+1:

FlashTom:

Thank you very much hIKARInoob! It worked! :+1:

Cheers man. I’m afraid there doesn’t seem to be a permanent fix to this problem, and it’s a software bug or something.

Lux-Perpetua · 2018-06-30T18:58:45.000Z

Now, I need to figure out what this rattling is about. Without the battery tube the head still rattles as if there is something loose inside, maybe the MCPCB or maybe the glas lens.

Update: It’s not the glas lens. I pushed my fingers against it when I shook the flashlight’s head.

aginthelaw · 2018-10-18T16:43:00.000Z

I have 2 versions of the mt07s. one that has the blinking switch light bug and one that doesn’t. is there a way to turn off the indicator light when on? it doesn’t make sense that the switch light comes on when the light is on. I already know the light is on, I don’t need the switch to tell me it’s on.

ImA4Wheelr · 2018-10-18T18:04:13.000Z

Tell me about it. It seems most lighted side switches do that. I want a light I can find in the dark.

I've been wanting to probe the MT07S driver for a spot that feeds the power to MCU (should be under 5V). Then just connect one of the switches blue LED to it. May need a resistor if to bright. The LED would always be on and the red LED for low voltage should still function.

Or, you can just use a very high value resistor directly off the 16.8v from the battery pack. Probably would start with 100,000 ohm at least. Recommend you use a test LED that you wouldn't mind frying first.
