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.
My is ordered
When can we expect it to start shipping?
Shipping start this upcoming week…
Got my refund
Enjoy your GT minis guys
what u dont want this nice light ?
Thanks, we will…… :+1: .
Post #441 #447 and #449
This is not the buck driver that we were promised with…
I bought it BECAUSE it was supposed to be regulated at 4,5A…
I don’t care for a hotrod, if the final version is a FET+1 driver it’s overpriced
Please confirm what type of driver will be in the GT mini BEFORE shipping them.
If it’s a FET+1 I’ll simply ask for a refund.
Why ? False advertisement, simply that.
If they choose to send it before stating what type of driver is in, then I’ll make a claim on PayPal asking for a full refund.
Why ? False advertisement.I may sound irritated… because I am. I already own a D1S, no need for another one in a slightly different design.
Email sent to Neal to cancel my order.
Maybe I will not buy my FW3A after all… If Lumintop doesn’t know the difference between a FET driver and a buck driver…
The last user manual still mention a buck driver !
The driver is a FET+1 design. A buck driver was considered but it would limit the output greatly with the XP-L HI LED. I have yet to see a China buck driver for a single cell light that was in regulation for more then a few minutes. Usually they drop out of regulation almost instantly. Rendering the entire point of a buck drive moot except for low modes. The manual was copied from the normal GT and the buck part just slipped through and was not put in there intensionally.

It is a FET+1 driver. Texas Ace answered here: GT mini~reflash the latest firmware~ - #15 by Texas_Ace False advertisement: Lumintop copied the manual from the original GT and overlooked things. I would say it is more a mistake.

Or maybe, just a simple mistake.
Yeah whatever.
I was just replying to mortuus
EDIT : oh, and if it was just a mistake because the user manual was copied from the GT… How do you explain the “17W 4,5A” part ? I doubt that the GT is only 17W…
ah okay i understand X3.
Yep, your right; whatever. Lie or mistake we will never know for sure. All we know for sure now is…… it is what it is.
I have no explanation at all for the ” “17W 4,5A” part”. I’m just going with the mistake story rather than the liar one. :+1:
I guess
This is a problem with the internal work of Lumintop
This user manual is probably not written by LUMINTOP. (?)
Just like GT, it is written by BLF members.
When Lumintop is getting stronger and stronger
The organization and division of labor within the company should be more detailed.

Yeah I quite know how they work… I’ve done some translation for them, user manuals mostly.
They kept promise me a GT for review… I’ve never got it. And of course, I never had other models to review since this. Basically I worked for free.
Yet I trusted them once more for the GT mini…
I don’t know why it doesn’t work, I’ve been doing this for Olight For 3 years now, never had a problem.
“Worked for free…”
Interesting, the definition of work must be eluding me. And here all this time I thought it was mattaus, wight, comychair, warhawk, toykeeper, rmm, del and their like that were doing all the heavy lifting around here…
back to topic please ;)
ah, yes, a lot of people on BLF got us to this point, love it! Much aprc8ted
