For what it’s worth, the P binned XHP-70 at over 11A makes 7400 lumens in an L6. (over 7500 lumens with no lens in the way) This from a pair of Basen 4500mAh cells.
5000 lumens is so last month…
Sorry for OT but there is a “P” binned XHP-70 ? Can you point me to a place where to get these? How much more powerful is that one compared to the N2 or N4 bins ?!?
K.
This ain't the lumens monster - check out the MT03, but of course can't compete with your triple XHP70 Shocker, but the Shocker II could give it a run. This light does about 6A-7A, as I measured last night - not bad for stock.
You might actually get a little more amps out of a pair of LittaKola 5000's, least the older good ones. In my modded L6 (triple channel w/SIR800DP FET), I got little more amps on the LK's then the BASEN's (10.45A vs. 11.8A), even with the long 20 AWG LED wires I got in there now.
Nice out-of-stock listing on MtnE. Dunno where else. I bought only one when he had them.
Will we see a real beamshots?
I'll try this evening- don't have a regular place to use for outdoors. There's a park near by, but officially closed at dark and it's on a major road.
I'll try some white wall shots as well. I'll post in my review OP --> Review: The new HaikeLite MT07 - Buffalo XHP70 thrower
Ohh - Richard had a few more XHP70 P2 1C LED's posted - when I got the in-stock notification, there were 3 left - I grabbed two. Still one listed right now.
Thank you!
The same situation and with me.
Everything is illuminated around.
Only Tom and I have this so far, so it’s up to him or Haikelight.
Sorry, didn't get to it last night - worked on the runtime graph and got it scaled properly and added temperature readings.
You’re doing fine. It would have been fine if it took you waited a couple of weeks to pay your review in its entirety. What you’re doing is above and beyond.
Yea, wanted to get it out quick, figuring there were a lot of waiting. I believe mhanlen will be doing a review on it as well, or maybe that's on the MT03 flooder - the flooder would be more up his alley since he's done the Meteor and Olight X7 Marauder.
I thought I was getting the MT03, but I was surprised when I opened up the box and this one was there. I’m having trouble with battery fitment. I have button tops that work, but the battery tube doesn’t screw down all the way… So they suggested I try some HG2 flattops or 30Q flattops, and those do not seem to work. So now I have a ton of new batteries laying around. I feel like I’m just going to have to stick with button tops. I don’t think it would be possible to use protected cells in this light. I like it a lot, but it’s very specific with batteries. Probably be about 2 weeks or so before I finish my review.
I’m using batteries with brass buttons. The outer oring shows more than in Tom’s picture, which doesn’t seem ideal, but the flashlight works.
How did you get them to stick? Solder? Are they magnetic? It would just be great if I could find a battery that worked without modification. I put this stuff on my Youtube… and I like to be able to give people solid recommendations they don’t need to “rig” to get them to work properly.
I used solder. I think I got them from Richard. I should have done some prep work before I used them. They’re rough and gouge my SRK drivers. I’m trying to come up with a way to make thinner buttons with a more rounded profile, and hopefully a smoother finish, but my best plan involves using a vacuum fixture, and I don’t have a vacuum pump yet.
I also wish there were more button tops.
I have unprotected button tops in HE4, HG2, GAs, and while they all work, they’re just a millimeter or two too long, to get the tailcap tightened down all the way. It isn’t loose or anything. Thanks for the response…. looks like I’ll just be sticking with some buttons tops.
The regular flat top GA's work the best, fit the best - the tops protrude out a little, kind of like BASEN 26650's. I have no clue why they thought other flat tops would work - doesn't make sense to me. I told them I could not get them to work. Yes, 30Q BT's work, guess I didn't notice it much with the tailcap - the last o-ring was pretty much covered, but I tightened it up pretty good, but yes, not as tightened down as the GA's.
Seems like the light was made for GA's, and only GA's. The soldered low profile brass buttons would work well I'd Imagine.
Ohhh - stupid me. Forgot, I got sets of 4 of solder blobs cells, like SONY VTC6's and HG2's - they also work and fit perfect. I need them for SRK's and SRK style lights I have.
Funny, cause your BLF ID was on my box, so I figured they screwed it up and sent me the wrong one, but it turned out it was mine with the engraved "Tom E"... 
I tried some protected 35Es that are very long on the MT03. The tailcap doesn’t screw all the way in but the light works just fine as there’s no electrical path on the body.
Given that info which cells would be optimal for MT03/MT07 (performance and fit-wise)?
30Q FT + solder / GA FT?
