(prototype) the GT Mini

No shipping notification yet.

shipping starts next week

Same here, they just share the information that they think is necessary, nothing about shipment!! Now the changing driver, I guess im out… depended on the answer i´ll get…

:stuck_out_tongue:

What’s to share about shipping if shipping has not started yet??

Since i have to justify myself for a simple question?
Each region n locals are different, and if it´s allowed I like to plan my post / parcels incoming…

Shipping starts next week i saw.

Nope, you do not “have to justify” your statement; that is/was your choice.
I was just curious. Your explanation satisified that curosity.

Looks to be top shelf components used in this driver, InfineonFET/ 7135/Atiny85 not bad at all… :+1:

Hopefully that button doesn’t snap off like the DQG’s were prone to do.

I think I’ll add a dollop of epoxy to the help support the switch while I’m in there flashing Andúril to the driver.

I think they used the the Parts from the FW3A (prototype) driver and changed the layout of the board a bit.

Nobody’s mentioned it won’t be stuck at 1200 lumens anymore…. :wink:

Your right… in this thread not a soul mentioned it. :+1:

But in another thread the possibility was mentioned…… :wink:

GT mini~reflash the latest firmware~

The DQG 26650 7x xpg had a different button style that was taller and was not soldered at the front bottom of the switch. You could get more leverage on it and the solder points made it weaker. Even so, only a few got pushed over. Mine never did. Here is a pic.

This Lumintop button is lower so there is less leverage. Plus you can see the solder points at the front bottom corners. This should make it less prone to bending backwards.

Overall, I don’t think there is any cause for concern.

Texas_Ace measured it at 1200 lumen before taking it apart to swap the emitter. So it lives up to the rating. Of course, we might get more out of it by bypassing the springs.

All I can really say is that y’all KNOW mine won’t be making 1200 lumens. Not after the first hour in this house it won’t. :wink:

My is ordered

When can we expect it to start shipping?

Shipping start this upcoming week…
