Interested / 219c / thank you
Found a bypass wire had come loose on one of the carrier springs.I fixed this and on fresh vtc5a batteries i got 19100 lumens on startup 16500@ 30s.It stepped down at 35s on 60c.
Wow, I imagine that 2 second beacon mode must make the world come to a stop. Lol
19th now
Daaaaamn. 
Heh… my replacement head was sent by Turkish Post. Should be named “Snail post”. But not losing hope yet. Q8 was eventually delivered… took 2 months but they did it finally 
Does anyone know if Aliexpress has the second wave version of this light?
They show plenty of stock. /scratch head
Can I get a code for both the 219c and xpg model ?
Or am I too late ?
Is there only one store there selling it?
Aliexpress is like ebay. There are tons of stores there. Some more reputable than others.
Seems like the only store that comes up in a search hit.
I checked it out. It’s the Elfeland store which is operated by Banggood. I guess the only way to know is to contact them and ask. They can probably tell pretty easy by looking at the lens for 2 wires or 6 wires. The problem comes if they have both versions in stock. It can be hard for them to guarantee one or the other.
If that’s the case, maybe they can do a special order for you to make sure you get the one you want.
Ugh my MF01 driver is now acting strange, i cooled the light under running tap water head down facing down and apparently the water got inside the flashlight into the driver through the side button i know this because i opened the light and i saw small water droplets, i thought this light is IPX 7 rated?
Now when power is connected one of the group blink fast Once, but when i switch the light on either low/medium/high/turbo the 1 group of leds instantly goes to Turbo no mater what mode the light currently at while the rest of 2 group are normal but i can switch the light off as normal.
^ Ugh…
Mine is acting a bit strange too. Does anyone have a single pre-flash when tightening the tailcap/battery tube? It never did that in the past…
Yup i got that single pre-flash when tightening the tailcap but only 1 group of the leds other geoups are fine.
Honestly, I sometimes suspect it is never even checked. They just look at the seals and such and just make up a rating that seems about right. There are no enforcement of the rules. The companies can say whatever they want.
Is that the V1 or V2? I was really hoping that the V2 would be a good, sorted driver.
Oh yeah, I think I should mention that the MF01 has some competition from the newly upgraded Haikelite MT03. It’s running a Texas Avenger based FET driver from the factory now and does 12k lumen. It’s still the same Haikelite UI, though. No fancy ramping.
V2.
Took it for a walk yesterday. Was a bit weird what happened. I think I was just cycling with a single click and it shut itself off, and button was also not lit (should be green). I unscrewed tailcap and tightened it again, and button glowed again, and light worked again. A couple of minutes later it did pretty much something similar. But after that the light worked normally. But one of the odd things was that before my walk when loading the batteries it did a pre-flash. When I got home I measured the cells, and all were discharged to about 3.8V; nothing unusual. When I inserted the batteries again and tightened the tailcap it did a pre-flash again.
New Haikelite MT09R has TA driver as well.
Thanks for the info. I see the MT09R comes in xhp35 or 70.2. It even says Stepless dimming. Maybe Narsil? I will have to look into these.
Yeah, shouldn’t have trusted their rating i didn’t even think about it, i asked my sons to swim with the Haikelite (SC01 and MT02) to test them and they are fine so i assume at least their Chinese counterpart can do similar oh well lesson learnt. Ordered Lexel’s driver for a replacement maybe about time.
btw. this is the problem that i am having. Video was intentionally underexpose so it wont Overexpose on turbo.
