My GT mini CW is from Banggood. Seems warehouse stocking date was 15th Mar for my unit. Works okey so far. I cleaned contacts before using it. There was some glue on driver contact area and lube on tube contact surfaces. Also top of the driver side spring was really dirty.
I measured tail cap current 5.60A on turbo at 0s with Sony VTC6 having 3.975V before the test.
I wonder what LED bin they are using for cool white version? (flux, tint) (V3 1A was said / guessed somewhere?)
Firmware defaults don’t seem to match the documentation (V5 manual at post #1 in this thread). Strobe modes are available by default. I tried factory reset and those are still available. (double click -> turbo, then double click -> strobe)
Front of the bezel is not straight: When the light is put bezel down on an even surface the light rocks little.
Why don’t gchart or Lexel design us a nice “tailcap” bord for the switch then we can do away with that half-lit switch and get a transparent switch that isn’t finicky
havent heard of a replacement that was just as bad. i think they know long ago the first batch had switch problems on some so i asume they send a newer version as replacements.
Most of the time my switch works just fine. Sometimes when it doesn’t if I ramp up all the way, then it works. I seem to get the best results with a very quick press/release. I am inclined to live with it, as I can’t see myself in a situation where a few extra seconds to turn the light off will have any impact.
In my opinion the best way to test switch functioning is put the light in momentary mode (5 clicks). Then light should shine allways when switch is detected pressed.
Hey
I have this light,but with an OSLON LED modded by Vinh…
650 lumen, 300kcd…I belicve…
What other hot rods are out that can surpass this one , but in this size light…Not a 2x18650…2” head…
something really small like this?
Is there anything ATM?
Anduril does the double tap to Turbo, unless you change the settings. I think Narsil just goes straight up to the top by default but I haven’t played with a Narsil driver in a while…
