(prototype) the GT Mini

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights

The thing that makes that funny TK is the immense number of lights I have modified for a few friends. :smiley: The count is probably close to 300 of my own what with the ones I’ve sold or given away and nearing that many more for a few friends of mine. lol

It’s an obsession, now. VERY difficult to leave one stock. Like, I just got my D1s Titanium and the copper is so gorgeous, still in it’s bag and box, I WANT to play with it, but I kinda don’t want to mod it and playing with it will mean it’ll need Anduril and and and …

a bit comparison GT Mini vs. C8s

Nice, that’s 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 The Thorfire is a nice enough light, hut it’s a little outdated as far as throwers go.

266

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.

267

Oh, I know it’ll beat it. It’s just a matter of how much, and how dramatic the visual difference is. A comparison with the D1S would probably be the best, but I’m 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 won’t be a lot of difference between the C8 and Mini GT in beam profile or throw, I’m thinking.

But the Mini GT is actually a shorter, more compact, light, albeit slightly larger in diameter, and the side switch set’s 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 GT’s big brother.

Is today a leather loafer day or a hiking boot day? Teva sandals or all out running shoes? :wink:

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+ I’m sure, then I would have to actually build the thing and it still wouldn’t look as cool as the GT Mini. Lol

271

Can you make a comparison with a well driven C8? With BLF A6 driver or similar?

272

if you send me one I can do :D

273

I am in for 3x

Thanks

Jens

274

Did you sign up?

The sign-up list is over here.

275

Thanks for the hint I made.
Super deal you make again.
Many Thanks
greeting
Jens

276

Interested for 1 mini GT thanks.

277

See post 274.

278

Already done JasonWW thanks, this is only for to be sure.

279

I’m also in for one or two…
In case the budget allows it :wink:

280

Does the GT mini have current control / stable output?

281

There aren’t any driver details yet.

The XPL can certainly go higher than 4.5A, so it might not be a FET driver. We will get details eventually.

282

Question, if the light pushes 1200lumens or more on that emitter, how hard is that pushing the emitter before its getting dangerous ?
