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…
The Mini Pro is not a replacement to the Mini. It's less throw, more lumens and flood. It's almost half the throw of the Mini and almos 3 times the lumens. The Mini can still be found elsewhere and will probably on Amazon later when the dust settles from the current pandemic.
