In for one CW
Iām in!
The sign up thread for this light is here.
Thatās more than Iād expect. Thatās about 5. But I doubt there are many around here who can claim more than a 95 mod rate.
I havenāt modded (but would like to):
- Meteor (swap driver and optics)
- Okluma DC2 Cu (swap driver and optic)
- Rey brass pineapple (could use V2 driver and V2 reflector)
- BLF-348 (should be ~8 lm instead of ~50 lm)
ā¦ and I donāt intend to mod:
- SWM V11R
- JB RRT01
- L3 L10-219b
- Zebralight H52Fw + SC52
- Olight S-Mini Ti + S1-Mini Ti
- Cooyoo Quantum SS
- DQG Tiny AAA IV
Iām not counting anything I helped make, like the A6 or D4, or anything sitting in a box of old stuff I never use.
But Iād definitely mod the GT Mini, because if it can run Narsil it should be able to run Anduril. Same thing I did with the original GT. I doubt it needs any physical changesā¦ just a new personality.
Madmax compared them.
The thing that makes that funny TK is the immense number of lights I have modified for a few friends. The count is probably close to 300 of my own what with the ones Iāve sold or given away and nearing that many more for a few friends of mine. lol
Itās an obsession, now. VERY difficult to leave one stock. Like, I just got my D1s Titanium and the copper is so gorgeous, still in itās bag and box, I WANT to play with it, but I kinda donāt want to mod it and playing with it will mean itāll need Anduril and and and ā¦
a bit comparison GT Mini vs. C8s

Nice, thatās an intense hotspot.
Any chance of a comparison with a modern Convoy C8 w/ XP-L HI? The Thorfire is a nice enough light, hut itās a little outdated as far as throwers go.
its clear that the gt mini has insane tight hotspot so it will beat any c8 or similar light in that size easy. not even an c8 with xpl hi emitter stand a chance.
Oh, I know itāll beat it. Itās just a matter of how much, and how dramatic the visual difference is. A comparison with the D1S would probably be the best, but Iām not sure if M4DM4X has access to one.
The difference in those pictures is easily the difference between XM-L2 and XP-L HI, given the same emitters and same or similar power levels there wonāt be a lot of difference between the C8 and Mini GT in beam profile or throw, Iām thinking.
But the Mini GT is actually a shorter, more compact, light, albeit slightly larger in diameter, and the side switch setās them apart quite nicely. It becomes more of a matter of style choice, the 3-legged dog that is the C8 or a nice neat style reference to the Throwmaster in the Mini GTās big brother.
Is today a leather loafer day or a hiking boot day? Teva sandals or all out running shoes?
unfortunaely i neither own a C8 with a HI LED nor a D1S

Nice, that is exactly what I was thinking given the GT Mini has twice the lumens, no dome and a slightly bigger reflector.
I have zero use for C8 style lights (small throwers) and did not sign up for the mini. Now I think I will. Let me head over to the sign up page.
If I found a host C8 with side switch and xpl-hi plus bought a driver from Lexel to get NarsilM I would be at $40+ Iām sure, then I would have to actually build the thing and it still wouldnāt look as cool as the GT Mini. Lol
Can you make a comparison with a well driven C8? With BLF A6 driver or similar?
if you send me one I can do :D
I am in for 3x
