(prototype) the GT Mini

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?

Thanks
Tony

Absolutely nothing if you stay in this class of light with a 2 inch/5cm head.

Cool…maybe I bump up a class…

Yes then:

It’s a 21700 light, which is very nice.

64mm head, or 2,5 inch head.

Here are the specs for each version:
Luxeon V Throw = 575m= 82,6kcd
SST-40 Throw = 770m= 148,2kcd
XP-L HI Throw = 250-260kcd+ = 1000m+

So embarrassing… I thought ramping up to maximum is the same as turbo :person_facepalming:

It varies Spiderlight, sometimes the top of the ramp is maximum, sometimes it’s not… depends on the UI and how it’s set up.

Well, I am using the default UI and settings. I think it the same as the BLF Q8 uses, and if I am right, I never used turbo on the Q8 either.

I think that’s like my haiklite mt09r…?

I had interested parties, but this revision ramps to 50% then double tap to turbo… This modded gt mini ramps all the way…

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…

Q8 uses NarsilM v1.0. It ramps all the way to the top.

GT Mini is using NarsilM v1.3. It was coded on this light to stop just short of Turbo.

Thank you.

But the momentary mode 5x click is instant turbo, right?

Yes, that’s one of the new features the Q8 doesn’t have.

Received the replacement from Banggood (complete flashlight) and this works excellent. I tried more than 60 clicks and did not miss any. Good customer service of Banggood.

Good for you :+1: They’re still giving me the run around :rage:

Is there still a Banggood rep on here?

there is but they only post the usual codes etc to get more money… just keep push them in mails that u got a defective light and uwant a replacement head or full refund if they dont want send out replacement.

Oh I’m trying! Is online chat any easier/better?
