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.
Photos please! :partying_face:
I don’t have a lathe, but my vise and wrenches are now eagerly awaiting the GT Mini’s arrival…
Yep… “if only”. :person_facepalming: …… but it seems they many times just will not.
DB Custom, what is the current consumption on the tail?
So its ok to use a 21700 cell in this light or ? im confused
If you can squeeze it into the 18650 battery tube, then yes.
Just kidding.
Dale took the battery tube off and pressed the bigger battery on it and ran a wire for the negative signal just to measure the output.
I got my mini GT this morning… 
wow yesterday tracking comes by mail, today deliever… great Job! :+1:
already by regular mail so fast ?? was yours tracking also LX NL ?
No, i got DHL tracking…yesterday morning normal one like 003xxxxxxx no Country sign in it. Yes regular DHL delievery.
Buuu, mine will not come so soon because it’s coming straight from china
feel in patience, you´ll get it soon… :sunglasses:
Ok weird, why not use dhl for all countries in EU ? o well happy for u
komeko, dont be sad it shouldnt take that long, i dont think they are using the super slow china mail that takes weeks or months i think its faster mail service. when i buy stuff from banggood i chose “direct mail” and get track numbers LX NL and it takes like a week or so to deliver to my mailbox in sweden so thats fast from china…
