Yep Jason… the GT DHL delivery process was amazing from start to finish…. and FAST also!!! :+1:
Nope…. the USA Is Not DHL either. The USA is being sent China EMS ePacket / USPS.
I once shipped a quad X5 I built to Neal when he was with Banggood, to ship DHL from here to China was a smooth $100. I kid you not!
Edit: Ironically, talking about DHL and within a minute I got a text saying my DHL package is out for delivery today. 
/\ …. Wow… that is a lot for 1 light. :person_facepalming:
Let us know what your DHL surprise is.
The DHL package came… 2 lights… one a review light and the other… Neal bundled to save shipping money… the GT mini! 
/\…. I stand corrected. (special circumstances though, that won’t apply to us ’mere mortals’…… )
Oooo, is the review light some new prototype? Can you say?
Yes
The GT mini is pretty dang sweet! Complete with the cell inside (as ordered) and more compact than I’d imagined, it’s just really a great little light with big boy features!
Well done Lumintop, well done!
I had thought I would make changes, but honestly I don’t know that I will. Perhaps a Samsung emitter… don’t know. It really is very cool by initial impressions (opened it up and told y’all it came and then had to go eat supper. lol ) So now I will charge up the GA cell and do some power and current measurements and see where it stands……
GA? You going soft on us Dale?
Slap a high drain in there.
On a fully charged LG M26 the GT mini shows me 1393.8 lumens in Turbo, at start.
I haven’t used a GA cell before but have seen people speak highly of them so I bought one with the light to test it, testing it together as a great many people who order them might.
And for you Jason, the GT mini makes 1621.5 lumens on an iJoy 21700.
Edit: And for the record, as a maximum output capability of the stock light, on an Samsung 30T it can produce 1711.2 lumens at start. The 30T is the most capable cell I know of, so that should be well beyond anything that will actually fit inside the light’s battery tube. That said, the LG HE-4 makes 1493.85 lumens at start so the GT mini is fully capable of some pretty nice performance, given a top cell to drive it.
That’s certainly better than the rated 1250 lumen. Nice. :+1:
Must have miss it. I thought the GT Mini was an 18650 light
It is an 18650 light.
On the new Sanyo NCR18650GA cell, almost fully charged, mine makes 1559.4 lumens. On my walk to take the trash can down to the road it performed very well, I do need to find where to cut off the step down as I truly dislike a flashlight telling me how much output I can have, especially when it wasn’t even getting warm. At almost 10 O’clock at night it’s still 88º out, but the GT mini was handling the XP-L HI just fine. Beam profile and throw distance are both admirable, easily showing me things out past 400 yds and putting enough light out past 600 to identify where things were. Very small, very light in the hand.
And the 18350 tube on it is just cute as a bug! lol
Thanks Dale
You’re welcome Robert.
And for the record, yes indeed it is an 18650/18350 light. Jason asked about high drain so I went big since I’m already home. (I tested the 21700 with no battery tube on the head, wondering what kind of max potential it may have.)
The Sanyo GA is a 3500mAh cell, as high in the capacity class as they come. And yet it makes only 151 lumens less than the extreme Samsung 30T 21700 cell. So I’d say any top cell in the 18650 class will show very good results.
Did you dig the driver out to put Andúril on it yet? 
The bezel is glued. I will have to do it tomorrow.
I thought there were a lot of requests to leave the glue out. No worry, I’ll get it apart, but it could be so easy had they just listened. I would have merely flashed Anduril and been happy with it.
Now I will do much more… I may even make a new battery tube for the 21700, don’t know yet. Sounds like a plan though, removing the branding…. It might give me pleasure to cut the driver out on the lathe. :smiling_imp:
Maybe tomorrow I will not be so unhappy with it because of the glue. Time will tell.
