But D1 reflector is not prfect enough for white flats. You gain only 10-15kcd. And loose 4-600 lumens. You can’t set the focus right. I tried it and putted back the XP-L HI.
You guys keep talking about the D1 vs the Mini GT…
That’s not fair at all… The D1 is much smaller in diameter :person_facepalming:
Now if you want to compare the Mini GT to an Emisar product, talk about the D1S which this thread is all about.
The D1S reflector is superior to the GT Mini one, I own both and they both rock a Black Flat… better resut wit the D1S (but I prefer the aesthetics of the Lumintop…)
Nothing you would see with your eyes alone, even side by side…
The luxmeter is the only judge, that’s why I prefer the GT Mini which is far more sexy !
lol only one week ago I asked a guy who modded an FT03 with a white flat and described the mod changes he made using “white flat”. I asked him if he changed the emitter :person_facepalming: which is how I learned what the actual white flat is. WF1 takes it to a whole new level but seems more understandable as an led given names like XPG, XHP… white flat is actually less easily identified as an emitter to a newcomer when I think about it
as a newcomer the first time I ever came across white flat/black flat I honestly thought it meant they changed the led board to a specific color (black/white) for the purposes of reflection or redirection of the light
Yesterday I received some WF1s and attempted to open one of my GT minis. They are pretty tighly sealed so I moved onto the Emisar. The D1S was super easy to open so I put the WF1 in there instead. Plus in stock form I’ve noticed the D1S to visibly out throw the mini. But I agree with earlier comments that the GT mini is the better feeling light in the hand. With the new centering rings it was super easy to focus. I haven’t measured the lux yet but in that range of at least 300k lux. It shines out to trees just shy of 350 yards that stock would light up but not very well. I’ve been running on ncr-b cells to avoid killing it.
