I am trying to decide between this light or the Convoy L2 as my next thrower. Since the price of the two is more or less the same (Convoy L2 is slightly cheaper with GB code), would love some opinions.
I already have the following throwers, and I like all of them.
Haikelite MT07S (XHP35 HI version)
Haikelite SC01
Emisar D1S
That gives me 33.75m. That can’t be right.
this really looks cute but deadly throw and lumens, what about the button will it be illuminated ? M4D M4X your daugther is so lucky to have it already and play with 
also how far off a release is this thing, this year i asume?
few weeks to go on sale I think ;)
I am negotiating with another spot for beamshots
hope I can make a session again in a few days
I shoud have one 
What are you trying to calculate?
The measured lux in post #2 should be about 750 meters. This is the ANSI-FL1 rated distance which is not that practical in the real word, but is helpful for comparing lights.
Joe was saying you can expect a nice bright hotspot out to 250 to 375 meters.
Thanks! I knew I’ve seen it before, but I don’t think I’ve seen the in depth description of the build.
Very nice DB!
Throw (135,000) x 4 then take the square root for the answer…. 135,000 x 4 = 540,000 The square root of 540,000 is 734.85 so that’s the Meters in throw from the 135Kcd lux reading. (for those that don’t know already) This means that at 735M the amount of light hitting a subject will be similar to the light falling on same subject from a full moon. I’ve always meant to use a matchbook with a phone number written inside, could someone read that phone number by the light from this thrower at that distance? I found it to be true when testing the GT at over a mile across the lake, you could indeed read text illuminated by the GT… even at 1.1 miles distant.
If you look at a full moon it just looks white, the eye’s pupil contracts and adjusts for the brightness, but if you set a camera for the light the moon reflects onto a subject on the ground then point the camera at the moon your image will be blown out. Similarly, even from over a mile away the GT is amazing to look at!
Here’s the light meter, illuminated by the GT from across the lake, showing half a lux….
Thanks Eraursis1984, it was one of those projects that sort of got out of hand. lol Been wearing it around my neck for over 5 years now. Rebuilt drivers for it multiple times, it now has a Nichia 219C at 5000K making some 711 lumens from the little 10440 cell. 
Will be interesting to see what the finals are on this little miniaturized version of the GT, I don’t have the GT anymore so this will fill it’s shoes nicely.
Y’all know I’m not saying the Mini GT will throw a mile, right? But following the tradition of it’s big brother it will still be a nice throwy light.
It’s a bit more 734m
Sorry for the confusion
ANSI value:
Square root ( 135000 cd / 0.25 lux )
Interested!! Looks cool. How does it compare to a C8s though? Just curious
Throw wise
And it’s not even out yet duuuhhhhh Mikeadoo!! :person_facepalming:

No need to be sorry I was dumbass when trying to calculate, but thank you for clearing it up. Also thanks to jason and Texas ace for the insight and explanation.
Oops, Texas_Ace is not even on this thread. Looks like you mixed up the two Texans. I did that once myself.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any examples. What did you not modify?
should be alot better then c8, almost twice throw i think. C8 has like 70kcd vs minigt 135kcd.
available in the groupbuy July 2018
The proportion looks a bit off on that picture on the box.
Head should be a little bit bigger.
And here I go again being a dumbass
Sorry DB
sexy so gt-mini is the name then, i think its perfect!
