Smaller flashlights have centering rings that fit snugly around the led and are centered by the led itself. I can understand that with a reflector this heavy you don’t want that in fear of shearing off the led when the flashlight is bumped against something. Their solution is not bad: position the two screwholes for the ledboard very precisely and use the screw heads for precision-positioning of the centerpiece. But those holes must be indeed positioned precise, the screws must have precise heads (preferrably not round but with a straight edge), and the screws must be screwed in with some care so that they go in straight without cross-threading. One or the other was off in part of the GT’s.
Thanks for the pictures smokuxx1987. :+1:
As for your other comment… your barking up the wrong tree my friend. BUT I will be more than happy to oblige you for that ’mistake’. 
Good informative video Jason, I noticed that you haven’t cleaned the soldering flux off the contact wires, you might want to do that before running your light at full power for long periods of time to prevent it from smoking the reflector.
This is how mine was before I cleaned it with alcohol and a Q-tip being careful not to leave any strands of cotton afterwards.
I don’t have any liquid under my centering ring. Are you talking about the flux residue around the solder points? That is dried up and hard. It should not cause any problems.
I meant the solder points
Good video Jason! :+1:
Excellent info & pics AlexGT!! I remember when you first posted this. Your pics convinced me to clean all of mine before heating them up real good. None of mine were as bad as yours appeared to be… but better safe than sorry.
Thank you!!! :+1: . 
Are you saying the mcpcb can heat up enough to liquify the hardened flux residue?
Jason…. Look closely at AlexGT’s pictures. Look at all the liquid crap that was under & on the bottom of his black spacer. Look at what is on his fingertips also.
I am pretty sure that mainly is what he is referring to.
He said I need to clean my light, but I never had excess flux under my centering ring. Nor is there any visable in my video. So I’m just confused why he would tell me that.
What I meant is that I think the dry solder flux might liquefy by heat if you use the light on turbo for longer periods of time creating a smoke hazard for the reflector, I cleaned mine up using alcohol, not hard to do…
:+1: …… OK, my bad; I misunderstood. 
Now I understand. I have never heard of this before. I thought once it dried and hardened/crystallized that it was no longer capable of becoming liquid again. I can remove it, no problem.
Lumintop has now officially listed the GT for sale on their website at a discounted price to move left over stock. I have no idea what will happen to the price or stock once the sell the quota they need.
I do know that they have said that once the get the space and funds they will consider the XHP70.2 mcpcb’s and drivers I have been trying to get them to make for over a year. Possibly even a whole light (although they said the price will be higher for an xhp70.2 version and they are worried about how many people will buy it, so it is not confirmed at this point).
There are some other interesting things in the works at lumintop I am helping with as well that might be coming out in the next few months.
I am not making the mistake we did with the GT and announcing them before they are ready this time though.
The listed price is $3.00 each?
I want to buy 5 at $3 a piece… :partying_face:
Can’t add them to my cart… Help…!!! 
Only 5? I would buy 100 of them in a second if they were $3 lol.
It looks like they copied the setup from Martins page and for some reason it defaults to the shoulder strap price. Simply click the GT or other option you want and you can see the other prices.
They have also started offering a Cool White LED option for those that want more of the light saber effect.
It would be nice if they offered the CW emitter and mcpcb for sale. I’d like to be able to easily swap them back and forth for comparison.
Did they mention the color temp? 6500K?
I mentioned that they should offer it by itself along with most of the other parts to the GT but nothing ever seems to come of it.
No word on exact tint, if I had to guess it is a normal 1A / 6500k though.
Yep… that would be real nice for sure. :+1:
Heck… I don’t even care if it is 6500K, just something that is truly white would please me.
I’d be happy with 5500K - 6000K…. I’m not picky. Even 5000K would ‘IMO’ be an improvement in my book.
BUT…. I SAY “BUT”…. That is nothing more than a ‘personal opinion & preference’…. just like anyone else has one.
IF they would sell it…. I will buy it!! . :+1: Regardless… if it is 5000K or above.

EDIT: Good info above TA, maybe LT will somehow get inspired & act on your suggestions. We can only hope…….
Has there been any more developments with an XHP70.2 retrofit “kit” for the GT?
