Has anyone recently tried to reach Neal? I'm still waiting for a reply on my PM and e-mail. I don't mean to be impatient after I wrote him last last Thursday. Has anyone got some idea what I could do about the off-centered XP-L HI when the bezel is fixed due to glue?

try send a pm to mad max he can try poke him and see whats up maybe.

how bad off center is the led ?

Thank you mortuus! That would be the next thing I would try but I don't want to be impatient with Neal. Maybe he's just busy and it's more or less usual that requests need some time to be taken care of by him. I have taken a quick picture with my smartphone which IMHO does not really reveal the whole extent of the issue, probably due to disadvantageous illumination in the reflector. I will try to provide a better one with direct illumination to show how much it is off-centered.

Ok here is how my replacement head looks,

That ring looks very much different to mine. As some of you had some issues with the side switch, mine still works but there's one situation when it refuses to do something. Maybe some of you can try this with your own GT minis. If you ramp down to lowest output, let go of the switch and immediately press it again...then nothing happens. It won't ramp up again. I guess it has something to do with a certain time that has to go by before it ramps into the opposite direction again. So, in a nutshell: Ramping up and down just by keeping the button pressed would not work here. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense as NarsilM jumps into configuration mode after pressing the button for 8s or something like that.

where did you purchase yours? I contacted Neal but still waiting

I bought mine from Neal. I'm still waiting for a response. I wrote him via e-mail and PM on BLF.

I just put the new OBF successor in my BLF GT Mini. The max I measured was 282k cd. But with a protected battery at 4.1V the current is already at 6A at the tailcap. I’ll see if I modify the firmware to reduce the max output to 80% PWM. But the LED scaled all the way up to 100%, so I’m wondering what the actual limit is.

of successor?

please clearify

Oslon Black Flat successor with the cryptic name: CSLNM1.TG :smiley:
Took me one hour to get the emitter centered, but the beam is perfect now. No ugly rings or anything.
I don’t know if the height of the reflector is correct. But the last time I lowered a reflector, I took too much off the centering ring and had to bring it back up with tiny Kapton strips, not my favorite task. :person_facepalming:
