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.
I just received mine. To be honest, I really like the beam pattern and output on this one. I Also have the OG Mini, yes it’s a thrower, and a micro as well as the big bro modded for 8K lumens and 2500+ feet of throw. I love them all. I do wish the new pro came in a warmer tint, but I can live with this one. It’s a real world user light to me. I love throw, but for a small pocket light in everyday life, this has a nice Combo of throw AND flood. Perfect sized hotspot in my opinion. If I need serious throw, in grabbing a bigger light.
You got the NW version? I wanted the NW version, but I figured a CW version is better for comparing the GT Mini and GT Mini Pro. Most people prefer CW according to flashlight companies (e.g., Olight and Nitecore)
I could understand maybe not caring for ww (the “old-lightbulb look”), but cw is horribly blue-white, like old hideous long-tube fluorescent fixtures. At least nw would be a “purer” white.
Then again, think about how many idiots still have actual blue-tinted headlights in their cars, so…
’Though I think 50000K is off into the gamma-ray part of the spectrum.
