the switch is awful if the same… i like the light but the mushy switch is some of the worst of all my lights…
and why does it have OP reflector ? Not sure this makes much sense to me why call it pro? the emitter needs a far bigger reflector imo…
i already have the astrolux ft03 with xhp50.2 so this light im not sure why they even made, did someone ask for it? havent seen any thread that they were gonna make on…
This light with a sliced XHP50.2 would be great IMO. Should be >3200 lumens and ~130kcd at 16A. Of course that is not thermally sustainable, but it would make a nice compact high output thrower.
For the record I have been using some 3V XHP50.2 from kaidomain. They are the 1D tint which they don’t carry anymore, but it turns out really nice when sliced. Nice neutral tint and a bit warmer than a Cree 3D. The corona is of course a bit greenish as you’d expect with the flip chip and side-phosphor, but to me it is not a big deal.
Do you know if the GT Mini Pro is a replacement for the GT Mini? I noticed that Lumintop’s Amazon store no longer lists the GT Mini, but still available on banggood.
I just grabbed a couple shortly before they were discontinued(?), and it’d be killer with something like a more neutral or even warmer CT and nice tint (eg, a LH351), just not some greenie like some/most SSTs. Whatever it’s got now (forgot), it’s not greenish even with AR-coated glass, which is a really nice surprise!
Unique switches and UI, quite nice. Just need to make the damned clip removable, as it gets in my way.
Truth is, it’s hard to distinguish yourself in a market like flashlights where so many are “me too!” designs.
I would rather see them make a bigger version of gt mini but smaller then blf gt, like a 21700 version with 60-70mm head or something… look at the ft03 and its outstanding throw with the sst20…
