Any word on how it’s going to ship? On the GT I had to pay 40$ for DHL and now I’m having troubles with my customs. It has been stuck at the customs 60miles from me for 2 weeks now.
The GT was a special case due to its large size and weight. This Mini GT is able to be shipped just like any other small flashlight similar in size.
Let’s hope so! Thanks Jason.
Does the MiniGT accept protected cells?

Okay. Thank you so much.
Filled out the form, it’s a thrower so it’s gotta be a CW version 
Legit question from a non modder: why not use a boost driver and put in a XHP35? Is the emitter too big for that reflector and it won’t be a thrower anymore? Or would heat be the issue?
There’s already 3 or 4 lights like that. The price would go up probably 50% or more. I don’t even think Thorfire has a boost driver that can do 30w. I’m not even sure they can build boost drivers, much less one as powerful as they need to exceed this xpl’s output. These are all my guesses.
^ not Thorfire but Lumintop, but they are also not top of the range in designing their own drivers. I’m still betting they use a TA driver.
Woah, I guess I had Thorfire on the brain.
Lumintop does have a boost driver in their ODL20C. It’s a little bit bigger than this light. About the size of the Utorch UT02. It must be new. It’s got a xhp35-HI and is rated at 2,000 lumen using a single 26650.
What I don’t see in their store is a C8 sized light. Maybe they think the mini GT with xhp35-HI would overlap in sales with the ODL20C.
Unless the XHP-35 can be driven at a real-time 2.5A (at the emitter) it can be beaten by a well driven XP-L HI. I got the Lumintop version of the UT02 and it was fairly pathetic so I replaced the 35 with a XP-L HI and used TK’s Anduril, it does 1700+ lumens and throw is around 212Kcd as I recall, like it a lot more this way. (This may be the ODL20C, it wasn’t named when I got it from TK… she sent it to me in a Pringles can so I call it my Pringles Thrower. lol)
Drain on the cell is actually less with the overdriven XP-L and lumens is only slightly less while throw is more, so it’s a win all around to get the nicer UI… or for me it is anyway.
Lumintop is building some excellent lights these days so the Mini GT should be a true win whichever way they go with it.
Some interesting info there, thanks guys for explaining
Most people say 4000 mAh instead of 4 Ah. 
It’s an intresting picture: A tube which shoots Pringles.
Potato chips all over the spot.

You must enlist in this thread DBSAR
Do we have an ETA on when info about the driver will be available? That will ultimately be the deciding factor for me. If it’s a FET+1, I’m not sure what this will offer over the D1S besides different styling. But if it uses a buck or buck/boost driver, that would give more stable output and also increased efficiency on intermediate modes. That would differentiate it from the D1S enough that I’d definitely be interested.
The price off the D1S and MiniGT is the same.
And a buck/boost driver costs more than a FET driver.
So I guess no.
This is also the group buy price, and the retail price will likely be higher, so it’s not completely unrealistic. Plus Lumintop has some recent experience with boost drivers with the ODL20C and ODF30, and buck drivers with the BLF GT. So I was just kinda hoping that they would be able to leverage that so I would have a reason to own both this and the D1S.
