(prototype) the GT Mini

I know a couple people have reported QC issues, and my boxes were extremely banged up but I am happy to report both lights not only work perfectly, when you line them both up on turbo the beam profiles are identical! (Edit: not identical to the BLF GT, I ordered two minis) The BLF GT mini with the short tube is the same height as the noctigon meteor but the head and battery tube is obviously much smaller.

It’s such a concentrated throwy beam in such a tiny package that it gives me the same joy as turning on the BLF GT. It’s really crazy how you can fit D1S throw in something smaller than a noctigon meteor.

The one they sent out during august 16th batch are good… i personally ask them about quality and they said led is well centered, and nice reflector.

strange i found the way the packed the light very good sounless a car ran over yours idk how it happend.

I’m hoping the one’s they sent out on 2 August (that had a 3 week layover somewhere in route… :wink: ) are “good” too. :smiley:

It looked like a car ran over it! One of the boxes was so mangled I couldn’t slide the box out of the sleeve, I had to cut the sleeve off and cut the box open.

Just goes to show how great their padding is that one box could be so mangled and yet both lights are consistent.

Comparison, BLF GT on the left, mini and micro on the right: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Here are a few photos comparing the GT Mini to the Emisar D1S. Click to embiggen.

Bezels are the same diameter. The GT mini is 132mm long. The D1S is 128mm long.

I prefer the D1S’s non-crenulated bezel, and its larger and firmer switch.

The D1S’s reflector appears very slightly smoother that the GT Mini’s, but it’s probably not noticeable during use.

If I had to pick one, I’d still pick both. :partying_face:

I hope to post some beamshot comparisons when the weather permits.

embiggen? Crashlands perhaps? :slight_smile:

Oh, pshaw! I’ve been saying embiggen for nigh on 22 years!

It’s a perfectly cromulent word. :smiley:

Anyone got 1400 lumen on their emisar d1s ? I got 1400 lumen on my d1s cool white, sony vtc6…

I will update more when i get my calibrated lights for my lumen tube.

LOL! I had totally forgotten about that.

Mmmmm….nostalgia.

Hi can you guys give me the head diameter?

I’m trying to see if I already have a difuser that will work on the GT Mini.

Thanks!

My Mini GT is getting closer & closer to it’s new home…. . :wink:

Booyaa!!

damn u have waited almost a month for arrival ? crazy :frowning:

Hopefully this means you get yours Monday! Unless they deliver on Sundays.

The GT Mini’s bezel is 50mm in diameter. That’s just under 2 inches.

All dimensions and specs are in post #2.

Yep, pretty crazy for sure. And it’s not just me, their are several of us that have waited this long. There was a 3 week period of no activity somewhere. :person_facepalming: . :smiley:

No Sunday delivery…… :frowning: But it should get here tomorrow!! :wink: . :+1:
If things continue to go correctly that is…… :smiley:

teacher, I hope you got the short tube along with the light… it’s really Really a cool option! Makes it “mini” indeed and the output hot spot from such a small light is virtually giggle worthy in it’s own right. :wink:

Thanks! My BLF Q8 can share the same diffuser with this guy, sweet!

Speed reading kills :slight_smile:

Really? The Q8’s bezel is 59mm, or about 2.3”.

What diffuser do you have? I’ve been looking for a nice one for the Q8.
