I got mine last night, definitely outperforms my convoy c8, even with a dedomed xml. Using mode select (ie not ramping) is 100% equivalent to turbo?
no u have to double click, ramping does not go to turbo.
Yeah but in the mode select option (I don’t like ramping) it doesn’t have the double click to turbo
oh my bad i thought u were talking about ramping mode… no idea then.
It depends on which mode set number you are using.
Modes 1-6 use the top of the ramp as 100%.
Modes 7-12 use full turbo as 100%.

This is the manual that still says it uses a buck driver, just ignore that part.
thanks for clarifying that JasonWW!
still waiting for mine. emailed, no response yet, to get an update on when will it ship out.
I got tracking 8/2 and a scan at “GUANGZHOU EMS” on the same day, just hasn’t moved in 7 days.
Looking forward to getting mine too.
For anyone in the USA who has received theirs, has your tracking info worked? Or did it just say processed in China and then show up at your door?
I’m sure all of ours will get here eventually, I’m just curious if I should even bother checking the tracking progress.
pls send me your email address
tracking sent
@ JasonWW….
Any info appreciated my friend……
Did the tracking info for yours ever update before it was delivered?

Mine was detailed and showed all the steps. The normal box was in another box inside a plastic envelope and was through Flyt Express. From China to Canada to Kentucky to Houston in 7 days. Neal may have chose a slightly faster shipping option for me, I’m not sure.

Thank you Jason…. :+1:
That probably explains it. Mine is thru China EMS ePacket and has a Tracking Number in this format. LY51xxxxx88CN
Yeah, my tracking number started with F and had all numbers. So they will probably start showing up next week to the US.
I got mine today in the USA so maybe the rest of the USA orders will show up soon.
Here are my measurements from a stock CW GT Mini using a Samsung 30Q.
Tail amps @30s using UT210E:
Top of ramp - 2.85A
Turbo - 5.5A
Parasitic drain normal - 0.18mA
Drain with switch led off- 0.02mACandela @30s and 10 meters using LX1330B:
GT Mini - 148kcd = 769m
Convoy C8 xm-l2 CW - 39kcd = 395m
Stock GT - 1.05mcd = 2,049mLumens using Texas_Ace Lumen Tube calibrated from Maukka’s S2 plus CW:
GT Mini:
Top of ramp:
turn on 720 lm
@30s 705 lmTurbo:
turn on 1240 lm,
@30s 1200 lmConvoy C8 xm-l2 CW
turn on 850 lm,
@30s 785 lm
I managed to measure 4.80-4.81A using the same meter (UT210E) and batt. The batt was around 4.10V before I started the reading. Tint used is also CW (stock config). I used an 11 AWG stranded copper wire to connect the negative terminal to the body.

all lights are shipped out days ago afaik, it depends where u live etc one day it will probably arrive at your door. Its weird JasonWW is in the US and got his light so others should get them also more or less this week…

I think Neal sent mine through a slightly faster shipping service, like 7 day express. The bulk of the US lights are probably using a cheaper, 14 day service like normal.

well thats not fair is it? we all payed the same price ….
Well, the bezel isn’t glued in my light, maybe just luck?
Anyhow, I did some tests today, using a 3 year old Efest purple INR2500 (I think the 2500 LG cell is in there).
So, not the latest and greatest cell there is but still!Measured at 10m for easy calculations using my cheap LX1330B luxmeter I got:
At start @ turbo (double click) 135Kcd
After approx. 30 seconds 130Kcd
After 30 seconds at maximum ramping 78Kcd.Mind you, using what is certainly not the best cell and my light is “NW”, but I would rather say it’s WW (same as with my GT).
It could very well be that using a truly CW led it does better.
The light gets quite hot very quickly so it looks like the heat transfer is good as well.Cheers
Nico
As predicted I measured the light again, this time with a fresh and fully charged Sony VTC6.
I got 140Kcd at turbo and 81Kcd at max ramping.
And yes, this time I did deduct 64Lux ambient light in my basement………
Which means that my previous measurement date should read ad follows:
I got 129Kcd at turbo and 72Kcd at max ramping (with the Efest INR2500)
Cheers,
Nico
