I think I was the only person that tried to alter the reflector height to try and improve the focus. I noticed my black centering ring had a small warp underneath it which made the reflector sit a little higher then I think it normally would. So I sanded down that black spacer so that it’s middle area was nice and flat.
I don’t think it made any type of noticeable difference in the size of the hot spot or corona.
It might have been too small of a change to actually see and unfortunately, I didn’t take any lux measurements before or after.
I remember the situation that you’re referring to, but I don’t remember the outcome. It might have just been an instance where one reflector had a slightly smoother finish than the other reflector which created some type of visible difference. I can’t remember if the hotspot size was changed or if it was only a change in the corona size. Maybe someone else can say more on the subject.
Besides the reflector smoothness, which will always be a compromise between quality, cost and speed, the overall build quality and quality control is very high. When you hold it in your hands or take it apart, it looks and feels every bit of a 300 to 400 dollar light. I think everyone agrees on that.
(My honest opinion. No, I don’t work for Lumintop. Lol)
Yes Jason, I think it was your post I read… it unsettled me a little bit. But I guess if you say nothing to worry about, its good enough for me. Thanks for responding!
Same here, and a message that EUR37 in duty and fees is due.
Sad thing is that half of it is fees to DHL, witch is just crazy. On the other hand i now know DHL has the light and all the processing forward will be very “german”.
Thus far there have been no widespread reports of any issues with the GT, just a few cases of random issues here and there. Less then I would of expected with a deal this big honestly. I have been very impressed so far.
Hi…
I called my local DHL office and asked if there was anything coming to my address and to my great surprise it was … :+1:
So in other word, it is on its way.
Still in Hong Kong, no ETA yet… :weary:
But soon… :partying_face:
Lumintop is getting another batch of lights in soon so we will be sending out the next and final batch of PM’s in the coming days (as soon as the script is ready). They should ship within 2-3 weeks like this batch.
So does the shorty tail piece decrease the output some because I was watching a video and the person reviewing it said it reduces the output I’m just curious because I was imagining the two carriers to be working in parallel and keep the same voltage if there was 1 or 2 or more
