130mm GT Killer! :+1:
How is it gonna kill the GT?
The GT kills the TN42 due to the large size difference.
This new light looks the same size as the GT. Maybe it will be “equal” to the GT as far as distance is concerned?
If it has a 130mm reflector it will indeed throw further given equal LED output, just the nature of the beast.
That said I agree that “kill” is a bit hopeful at best.
The real question is will it have the same quality driver and firmware as the GT along with the build quality?

Ah, you think the reflector is 130mm. I was thinking the GT has a 135mm head diameter, so they are about the same.
Why are we thinking the reflector is 130mm?
Because that’s what I would do to kill the GT 130mm Reflector! :+1:

I have no idea, that is what was posted above, not sure why they would say 130mm if it was not the reflector since that would be smaller like you said.

Appears to be a “M” on the button. Perhaps Matmenco is up to something

I doubt there would be a visible difference in throw between a 130mm and 118mm GT reflector.

Different/better led - more output… more throw…? Just a question…

Better LED is relative.
Toss a Flat black in the GT and it should do around 2Mcd.
Or toss an XHP70.2 and it does ~8000 lumens with ~1200m of throw.
The only real option that will net you gains in both throw and lumens is the sst-90 or whatever it is. BUT that LED costs around $150 for the LED alone. So gonna guess they are not using that lol.

That’s what i’ve been thinking about. 4*18650 will be always enough for a XHP35 Hi.
I think 8 cells are kind of waste.

You don’t need to use 8 cells in the GT.
The long battery tube is for balance as i understand.
I plan to leave one carrier empty.

8 cells were never about the need for them with an xhp35. It was about balance. The short tube version is horribly unblanced and literally hurts your wrist to hold for any length of time.
Not to mention it looks silly.

I see. That’s what the long tube for.

I agree. The only have experience with the long tube but the short seems like it would torque the wrist a good bit.

Definitely Mateminco/Astrolux, same tube and head machining as MF02.

So it’s module design too. There must be dual heads for this one.
Can’t wait to see the dual heads of two big heads.
