(prototype) the GT Mini

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. :wink: (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? :slight_smile:

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.

:person_facepalming:

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… :smiley: wow yesterday tracking comes by mail, today deliever… great Job! :+1:

Lumintop mini GT

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 :slight_smile:

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…

I have LZ CN so probably over a month of waiting. In addition, I’m going on vacation so I’ll probably get the package as I come back. Sadly.

Maybe that’s why my package goes straight from china because I ordered the NW version and not the CW version. McLight, I see yours is CW.

okok really strange to use more then 1 shipping service within EU countries, they should just have went with dhl for everyone imo…

Can others from EU that isnt poland, germany or sweden post what their track numbers are, like LX NL or whatever?

I’m in the USA & mine is LY*xxxxxxxxx*CN

China EMS ePacket / USPS

Nothing strange. DHL shipping price for some EU countries is too big.

I’m from Croatia and DHL prices make it look like I’m on the other planet, not EU.

My tracking is LX…………NL

Exactly XXX-Man. :+1: … I have no doubt the most reliable & economic carrier was chosen on a country by country basis. Pretty easy to figure. :slight_smile:
